Further would be nice: An epic soundtrack by x-ray dog or "Two steps from hell", a really free camera or even an automatic "cinematic" camera, that flies around and makes the game to real "movie", when the player clicks on a button.
More complex characters would be fine, too.
And another idea: Give the player the possibility to be just a cannonier or a captain of a big ship, a bit similar to the "scifi pioneer" Wing Commander or something like Arma2. Least has the best editor of all time!
I'm really into the X-Concept BUT one thing always threw me off:
The Gameplay and Graphics are cool and mature but the lore and the characters as well as the character models always are on kindergarten level. I mean c'mon, someone who is able to think his way through all of these complexity and game mechanics REALLY is past that in his mind.
Please, Egosoft, PLEASE fix that this time. It's not that big deal and it would raise the whole value so much!
@TheBigRedTom thats becuase it is the Albion pride.....
you see the ship in X3 Albion Prelude, its a bit diffrent, cause it hase those panels on the side of the ship, makes it look ugly, but looks like it got modified over the years :P i hear its about 40 years or so after X3 not sure.
This new edition to the x universe could be the best yet or a complete insult to the x name. A lot of things I've read have got me pretty excited, but a few things have me worried. I'm hoping for gold quality, and Egosoft has yet to disappoint me.
@GGAndersson X2 was my first X game, i remember i didnt know about the SETA for a while, drove me nuts when i kept dying in some mission an i was like AHHHH i just spent 40 minutes flying there!!!!! was so relieved when i found the SETA button lol.
in X rebirth there wont be Seta there be the highway system to make travel faster, and its not a Sector, its an entire system to travel through
@OutragingByte from egosoft, Bernd (the guy incharge) did an interview explaining a bit about some of the features of X rebirth, and also from forum as well where he explained.
X3 Albion Prelude explains a bit about the new Highway systems there experimenting.
so now the game has brand new engine they can do all sorts of new stuff with the game, such as giving Sectors an actuall life scale System from the sun to the Outer system and using the highways to travel around in
@Solidus1086 It likely wont require anything mind-blowingly powerful. 2 gig dual core should be able to pull you through, although perhaps a 4 core 4 gig machine would do a little better. Like I said though, dont expect the game to be a Witcher 2 like bitch when it comes to resource demands.
These X games are fun for messing around, but boring when trying to take serious. I love the docking, but I wish manual docking was a bit more exciting. I also hate the ships, very few are any good. I also don't get how , thousands of years in the future, the ships are still piss-slow. The SETA drive helps, but it's still a bit dumb. I would also like to be able to journey through the space, not just jump from gate to gate.
@D1rtmonkey consider that this is a game, and that it, especially early game, can take around 10-15 minutes simply to travel 3 systems ? even with x10 SETA.
with trading being the only real option early game, those jumps add up fast
@D1rtmonkey Yes...The fastest ships on there move at about 1,000m/s or 1 kps, that's roughly 2,000mph...While orbital speeds of modern space craft are about 18,000mph. So yes, they're slow.
@TiconderogaX Yeah yeah, ok, you win :P It does help with autopilot though, go off and have a cup of tea.. come back and hope you haven't crossed any angry xenon.
@D1rtmonkey Well I like cool exceleration effects. The WOT effects on this game just aren't very exciting. Don't get me wrong, I have the Treky sense of realism, but I do like some aspect of the star wars intensity.
they should have a compulsary tutorial system like they did in freespace 1 and 2, that way newbies would learn about the game before they get thrown into the universe with a "wtf do i do now" look on there faces
Really looking forward to this. I've been playing the X games for years and hopefully this will be the best one yet. Hopefully we will see a return of cockpits.
Epic. My wife bought me the X Superbox last year - these games require dedication and a reasonable amount of brain power. Excellent support and a lively community complete a great immersive game experience on every level.
@TimothyParadox1 Don't get me wrong I like the Infinity project videos, they remind me of Frontier. But it's been in the tech demo stage for 4 years now. X is an actual playable game.
But hey if they finally release it I'll buy both :) Why does it need to be one or the other who "roflstomps"?
@TimothyParadox1 Infinity is nothing special, theres several space sims out there, Evochron Mercenary is one that offers similar features to Infinity. Infinity will be nothing but a boring old space game with lots of 'nothingness' in between...
@TimothyParadox1 LMAO... wow how old are you? 6? Fact that I wasn't even trolling, and you thought I was trolling??... Bloody hell your easy to windup then. You must've had a hard time at school...
Please Egosoft, fix the sound bugs that have infested the series since X: BTF. Missing speech, soundbytes canceling each other out, speech being interrupted if you dare touch a button, etc etc
X-Series, space combat sims would be dead if it weren't for their efforts. Unfortunately Lucas Arts/Origin (Wing Commander) owned it in the 90's, would love to have seen what they would have come up with had they continued their Wing Commander/Xwing/Tie Fighter directions.
I got away with running Skyrim alright on my pc, but i'm definitely gonna be upgrading for this beauty. X series are some of the most satisfying games I ever played.
hmm maybe this one wont involve me floating in one place with my command ship and spending hours and hours giving individual orders to individual trading vessels to do individual trades in the hopes that someday I might get to command my war fleet in an epic space battle that never bloody comes!!! god I hate the x series so much.... but i swear I really want to love it!

According to this short video is difficult to judge the quality of the game, I hope the developers finally do landed on an planet , well of course a lot of things I would like to see in the new part but ... but dreaming is not harmful )
@bluntsh00ter It's one player ship BUT you control lots of "drones" - which are other ships. With bigger ships you hire captains and tell them what to do.
Rebirth is definitely the right name. It looks like there will be a lot of family resemblence but this is going to be a different game in its own right.
@ZlothZloth Exactly. If you try to compare it to past X games wanting more of what they gave then, yes, you will be disappointed. X3TC is basically just a highly advanced version of the same engine that ran X:BTF. It's served us well for more than 10 years, but with a whole new engine and approach can propel the X franchise lightyears further than if they just did what they did many times before. And if it does flop (which I dearly hope not), well at least we will still have X3TC to fall back on
@ZlothZloth i never liked one thing about X3, the idiotic AI doesn't know how to evade fire! i could never form an army, i'd go to one big battle and most would die in a few shots.. i could only rely on myself for battles and all AI ships would have to be traders.. cuz an AI battleship, would die extremely easy -.- and that costs big money!!
Don't worry about it. Its still technically the same. They are just called drones. You can take over anyone you like anytime and you'll still control it as per previous X games with first person view. And they are giving us more. Your capital ship will have crew members, bridge everything. You can interact with them and walk in it. Imagine Mass Effect "Normandy" ship but BIGGER, BETTER and more in-depth. :D
there is only one thing i really hope they do... and that is rework the combat between cap ships.
the game needs more dedicated cap ship weapons, longer engagement ranges, and much more visceral combat. i want an M2 fights to feel like a real balls out slugfest. like each shot hits with real weight and force... right now they just feel a little light
problem is most of today's so called gamers' heads would explode if it involved anything beyond tossing a grenade or aiming for someone's head. Games like this MUST be kept alive, the PC games section at every store keeps getting smaller and smaller :(
I'm really uncertain about the player only ever controlling one ship. What if you start the game and you really really hate the way the ship looks?
Furthermore will the upgrades just be upgrades to weapons and shields and such or will they be cosmetic upgrades? This could really backfire. Getting stuck with the one ship will take away form that feeling of getting rich and powerful and upgrading to a capital and sitting back and watching your fleet destroy an enemy.
@NotJustYouNoob they cut out the part near then end when the big ship randomly stops to align with a station and the 2 fighters slam into it... as has happened with hundreds and hundreds of fighter escorts for my UTs...
yes only 1 but you can walk inside ship ,talk with crew(i hope will be sexy copilot xD) ,etc. other ships will be controlled via Virtual Reality thingy ..something like this.
I hope they will change the fly controls (to be more manuarable or easy to move the ship)(specially the 3 person camera was very disgusting controls))
One playable ship... Fuck this. No matter how upgradeable, I'm not getting it.
Suddenly, new X starts looking like Darkstar-one 2.0.
In DSO you had upgradeable ship, you could have an agile fighter or multi-turret corvette and stuff but you know what? I still wanted to pilot these pretty huge-ass cruisers present in the game, I still wanted to pilot something that was not HUMAN only design, I still wanted to have the alien looking ship. With new X, it will be exactly the same.
@szajbuspl for what I was able to understand in the new released details you control drones trough virtual reality, while your character remains in the main ship.
@jh5kl Still - drone =/= a good old fighter craft even if it serves more or less the same purpose and takes alot from high-risk-high-reward play-style of a fighter pilot - in case of drone you are still relatively safe in your command ship. And you will not be able to pilot the huge capital ships, only give the orders which is the fatal flaw for me, basically disqualifying such game in my eyes for good.
@LordVitaly The website said "No direct piloting of capital ships." Not "There will be no capital ships." There WILL be capital ships and you can own them and be some sort of a captain, but you can't hop on the wheel yourself and controll it directly. After all, what kind of captain drives his ship directly?
@Collector2006 I like to sit in them?control them with arrow keys,control turrets and other.And i especially like console where you can make a lot of interesting things (like create 10 capital ships and 1 the biggest ship,create a lot of enemies and be in the center of battle.You won't have that opportunity with one small ship,that you can't even change)
I don't want to control drones via some virtual reality bullshit, that takes away any immersion. I want to be able to pilot and command anything from the fastest scout to the toughest destroyer, that's why I loved X3.
Fine, capital ships weren't the most fun to play around with, but that should've been improved (plenty of ways to do that) instead of removed entirely.
The player ship will most definately not be (upgradable to) a capital ship btw.
@ikwilniinloggen They said that there's something special about the player ship too.. Or was I the only one who read that far? Im betting that the ship is something that is restored to its former power and Glory while playing, maybe you can buy modifications and Upgrades for it?
They said 2012Q1 right? That ends in a month and a bit. I CAN'T WAIT!

movietester100 2 weeks ago
Further for more atmosphere, think about damage making explosions.
At moment mega ships explode right in front of your cockpit, *magic* the ships are away and that´s it.
There are some partly very old (!) games, where staying in front of mega tons bombs (ships transform into that, when they explode) is quite deadly.
"Epic" is the first game, that I know, where this happend.
Further, if you want to make X better: Get a better Editor like f.e. Empire at war. Player would love you for that. Thanx!

problem is most of today's so called gamers' heads would explode if it involved anything beyond tossing a grenade or aiming for someone's head. Games like this MUST be kept alive, the PC games section at every store keeps getting smaller and smaller :(

I'm really uncertain about the player only ever controlling one ship. What if you start the game and you really really hate the way the ship looks?
Furthermore will the upgrades just be upgrades to weapons and shields and such or will they be cosmetic upgrades? This could really backfire. Getting stuck with the one ship will take away form that feeling of getting rich and powerful and upgrading to a capital and sitting back and watching your fleet destroy an enemy.

@NotJustYouNoob they cut out the part near then end when the big ship randomly stops to align with a station and the 2 fighters slam into it... as has happened with hundreds and hundreds of fighter escorts for my UTs...

I hope they will change the fly controls (to be more manuarable or easy to move the ship)(specially the 3 person camera was very disgusting controls))

One playable ship... Fuck this. No matter how upgradeable, I'm not getting it.
Suddenly, new X starts looking like Darkstar-one 2.0.
In DSO you had upgradeable ship, you could have an agile fighter or multi-turret corvette and stuff but you know what? I still wanted to pilot these pretty huge-ass cruisers present in the game, I still wanted to pilot something that was not HUMAN only design, I still wanted to have the alien looking ship. With new X, it will be exactly the same.

I'd at least give it a try.
You can still command large scale fleets and massive factory complexes.
Agora2021 5 months ago
@szajbuspl for what I was able to understand in the new released details you control drones trough virtual reality, while your character remains in the main ship.
jh5kl 4 months ago
@jh5kl Still - drone =/= a good old fighter craft even if it serves more or less the same purpose and takes alot from high-risk-high-reward play-style of a fighter pilot - in case of drone you are still relatively safe in your command ship. And you will not be able to pilot the huge capital ships, only give the orders which is the fatal flaw for me, basically disqualifying such game in my eyes for good.

Lol, no need to blow up planets with ship if you can't go to the planets anyway right?
CompactDisc7227 5 months ago
@LordVitaly The website said "No direct piloting of capital ships." Not "There will be no capital ships." There WILL be capital ships and you can own them and be some sort of a captain, but you can't hop on the wheel yourself and controll it directly. After all, what kind of captain drives his ship directly?
Collector2006 5 months ago
@Collector2006 I like to sit in them?control them with arrow keys,control turrets and other.And i especially like console where you can make a lot of interesting things (like create 10 capital ships and 1 the biggest ship,create a lot of enemies and be in the center of battle.You won't have that opportunity with one small ship,that you can't even change)

@LordVitaly Not true at all. Actually, quite the opposite. You simply can't directly pilot them. You captain them.

I don't want to control drones via some virtual reality bullshit, that takes away any immersion. I want to be able to pilot and command anything from the fastest scout to the toughest destroyer, that's why I loved X3.
Fine, capital ships weren't the most fun to play around with, but that should've been improved (plenty of ways to do that) instead of removed entirely.
The player ship will most definately not be (upgradable to) a capital ship btw.

It's official, they fucked the game.
Apparently there is only one player ship. ONE FUCKING SHIP.
This was the last decent space sim and they had to go and fuck it up.
Day one pirate for me, I'm not supporting them anymore.
ikwilniinloggen 6 months ago
@ikwilniinloggen They said that there's something special about the player ship too.. Or was I the only one who read that far? Im betting that the ship is something that is restored to its former power and Glory while playing, maybe you can buy modifications and Upgrades for it?
