X3 Terran Conflict Gameplay

[SeedNaked]

how is it possible: any sounds in the space?

[woutowner]

@SeedNaked not.

[pimbosz]

@SeedNaked i was under impression that fish-men can't use keyboards, and yet u do...hmmm

[GingerboyIV]

@SeedNaked You aren't out in space, you are hopefully in a cockpit with oxygen.

[splintercell186]

the one thing i wish we can do in this game is land on diffrent planets,and get out of your ship and have a on foot battles and explorations

[LorDestinY]

Black prophecy is better and faster paced and free.

[ShadowSpeedy7]

@na8hanna8hong pff i Played that took 5 ships a solid 10mins to destroy 1 ship of the same type, pass...evochron mercenary is the closest thing to WC:SO ive found.....alot less intense though...

[ShadowSpeedy7]

was considering to get this game, but this video pretty much killed it for me lol

when is someone going to make a space sim that's as simple, easy and fun to play as wing commander prophecy/secret ops was? :|

[MultiChillMusic]

@ShadowSpeedy7 This game is actually really fun to play. I've played the X series all the way through. The first 2 had their bugs, but this game has really come along way and in my book, is still a great game. It can be as simple as you want, but it can also be as complicated as you want, lol

[na8hanna8hong]

@ShadowSpeedy7 It's called Sins Of A Solar Empire.

[Richthofen100]

So can u play big ships? like battleships in this game?

[MultiChillMusic]

@Richthofen100 yep, you can play battleships, corvettes, etc., its really cool getting up to the Argon Titan, cuz you can really do some damage

[goblindeejay]

Also.... there is no air in space, so there can be no battle or any kind of sound :)))) except the sound of projectiles hitting player's ship and sound of engines.

[knightcute22]

@goblindeejay It`s just a game , if u want a realistic one , go bang2 with ur family at the space area.

[MaroX1337]

@goblindeejay How fun would it be to play without sound? And why wouldn't it be possible to have battle in space just because of there's no air?

[MasacruRo]

@goblindeejay Then mute the game nigga' mute the speakers and play it. Have fun with that.

[goblindeejay]

What is the flight there like? Is it realistic space flight, when you build up speed and then ship moves even if no engine is turned on? Is there a maneuvering with side thrusters present (as in Evochron)?

Or it is more like the stupid Hollywood "pop-style" atmospheric aircraft type of flying (I mean, in order to turn you just turn the hull of the ship)?

[Xennified]

Is this much like Freelancer? Wish I'd have got it when it was on sale now.

[Ovog95]

@Xennified it's more trading oriented rather than combat focused

[Redescefetmg]

got it on steam xmas achivs

gonna try it out

[ivanvalerian]

@Redescefetmg lol, me too.Just got this one and X3: Reunion. I was looking for a gameplay to see what the game is about. Sounds cool.

[TheRaellz]

@Redescefetmg worth it?

[MrRathalos95]

it look like dark star one

[mrkillgreedy]

This looks a lot like tachyon. Except theres no Bruce Campbell...

[wint3rki11]

is this game any good... i looking more for an updated sins of a solar empire and i keep seeing this on my steam so im curious about it... i tried sword of the stars 2 but in was incredibly bugged that i couldnt even play it... so i dont even know if it was even the type of game i was looking for to begin with

[HelmutVillam]

@wint3rki11

X3 is rather buggy unpatched, but version 4.0 is fine. It takes a long time and a lot of patience to get to grips with all this game has to offer, best I can say is don't expect to master it after only a few hours, and use all the guides and resources on the internet to help you. This game is seriously rewarding in the long term.

[wint3rki11]

@HelmutVillam sounds interesting... didnt i hear something about this series getting a reboot

[HelmutVillam]

@wint3rki11

the 4th game X-Rebirth will be radically different than the older 3 games. there's also an X3 spin-off called Albion Prelude

[laim1499]

Steam Christmas sale anyone?

[almeidaofthejoel]

is this game at all like tachyon?

[adamant356]

@almeidaofthejoel lol thats what I was going to ask! Tachyon was a great game, but I think it would have been better if it was open-ended.

[TehOrkyMan]

@almeidaofthejoel Dude! You're the only other person I've ever seen anywhere mention Tachyon before.

[SoWhat1221]

This reminds me of Darkstar One.

[Tubyubber]

@SoWhat1221 me too. I have both, but I gotta say, Darkstar One looks a bit more interesting because it has actual characters and spaceport scenes, and cinematics. on the other hand, in X you get more than one ship :D

[mees462]

Flying into Uranu-

Oh, I see what you did there >.>

[wesly22dh]

a lot of games doest really match the real thing, look at freelancer, everyhting is in meters instead of Kilometer or even lightyears

[thaghost909]

Game must be pretty intense, My computer restarted trying to watch this.

.... Actually it was overheating but shhh.

[nuwenese]

@thaghost909 mine crashed LOL

[splintercell186]

@thaghost909 actually your computer might be able to run it man, you can lower the graphics so low it looks bad, but you can still have alot of fun playing it :)

[Chris9183]

Is that planet in the distance actually an object? Can you fly to it? Or is it just a background image?

[CLICKMEYOULOSER]

Ur Anus.

[Zombiepwnage117]

Is there ANYONE here who doesn't pay attention to Science?

[githern]

If you fart in space will anyone ever hear it?

[Jason99942]

@githern No, you wouldn't hear a fart in space due to lack of oxygen. Nor would you hear lasers.

[SuckMikeHunt]

@Jason99942

due to lack of oxygen? it's not that there's no oxygen, so there's not sound, it's because of space being a vacuum, with no medium for the sound waves to travel through...that's like middle school stuff.

[DarkSigiles]

@Jason99942 Not saying this to split hairs or anything but replace "oxygen" with "air" any kind of air, and I will agree :p

[fallenangei]

@Jason99942 Technically, if you had your ear right up to it, you'd hear it, since the gas from the fart would affect your eardrum........ >.>

[DaTscheka]

Can´t they just make a Freelancer remake, that game was awesome^^

[mirilion79]

In boring, real space there is no sound. In gaming, fun space there are roars and swooshes and explosions.

[Rakstawr]

The sounds are generated inside the cockpit in order to stimulate pilot response to battle. This system was developed in order for the pilot to better control their vessel in combat situations. For further reference, check the Tatooine Interstellar Combat Manual under "Tuning down the inertial dampers"...

[Concorde1059]

@crazeball89 The two are fairly different.

[xskatrjakex]

@crazeball89 It's nothing like EVE

[monoham1]

why are space stations always the same size as planets!?

[moiriv415]

awesome graphics, too bad the gameplay sucks ass.

[55peedy]

@moiriv415 If you have xbox360 controller.... and get right stick to work.... It's gameplay becomes much better and more realistic ;) And if you use some mods for cockpitview it becomes even more better!

Best space simulation game ever!!! Even better than freelancer ;)

[moiriv415]

@55peedy I guess that could work with your simple understanding in the word 'gameplay'.

360 controller? are you kidding me?

[AjarJunkman]

freelancer is far more superior

[Ethaninja]

Man there needed to be so much more louder ambience sounds or music and what not, the game just felt so sloooooooooow. It could have done much better, especially with a cockpit for added immersion. Ah well what can you do.

[Yamato360]

I notice your crosshair is moving independent of your flight direction. Is this a new feature not included in Reunion or a script or something?

[HelmutVillam]

@Yamato360

You mean the lead target indicator? that was in Reunion once you had Fight Software mk1.

[ThinkmanSAm]

I hate 2D backgrounds.... where the fun in this? I had bought X3 when it came out and I must say its a deep game but man does it have nothing but NOTHING compared to Freelancer mod : Shattered Worlds.... X3 = Sleeping game

[WebTechGlobal]

I heard this game was good, but the first half of this video makes it look very boring! Tempted to try it but I don't like single player games. Any talk about a multiplayer follow up of this?

[Slackdragon]

Just found out about this game today after a few of my Eve Online friends told me about it. They said it's really good and deep. As an Eve player, I enjoy a steep learning curve and daunting detail. Might have to give it a try next time Steam puts it on the block for cheap.

[Nick3889]

is this game good ???

[thekorgboy98]

what race r u



[Pallepop909]

just bought this during the summer sales but i cant even gett past the ingame tutorial :D my ship refuses to shoot with either of the ctrl keys or right mouse button Blah ;D

[FuriousTheGeorge]

Definitely glad I took the plunge and bought this during the Steam sale. This sim is not for the faint of heart because of STEEP learning curve.

[corrivalnumber]

do you recommend me this game guys?

[lesleyhenriquez]

@corrivalnumber I'd buy it again. I am also a proud member of a sadomasochism club.

The learning curve is not for the faint of heart or those that do not get off on being powerless and not really in control.

[DRE4M]

This looks so boring next to the official "gameplay" trailer. :<

[PSPfanBOY22]

How steep is the learning curve of this game?

[tecch2]

@PSPfanBOY22 A vertical wall

[issdea]

Directing COCKpit into YOUR ANUS

[spikemugen22]

this looks amazing

[swerik88]

how is there sound in space?

[Sclunger]

@swerik88 Lol, cmon, it would be hella boring without it xD

[Smurfkiller921]

@Sclunger It's boring with it, holy shit.

[Szeicheng]

@swerik88 Simulated sound... helps with the pilot's awareness so it's not a stretch that ships would have sound simulation.

[ododidit]

@swerik88

There is plenty of sound in space, you just cannot hear it due to lack of air to vibrate for your little ears to hear it :)

Games would be pretty boring without sound so i think that alone is a good enough reason.

[xLambadix]

@ododidit Actually there is NO sound in space due to lack of air to vibrate since this is what sound is: mechanical waves

[Superabound2]

@ododidit it would make sense for ship designers to create a speaker system networked to the ship's sensors that would create the appropriate virtualized sounds for incoming sensor data, in order to give the pilot immediate audio feedback and to utilize a very important human sense that would otherwise go unused. It would be like an augmented HUD for your ears.

[yosephshepherd]

@swerik88 There's sound in your cock pit

[sunnyjim98]

@yosephshepherd ARF!!! Cock pit xD

just kidding lol!

[swerik88]

@yosephshepherd than why can you here when the other ships are exploding and shooting their lasers?

[HelmutVillam]

@swerik88

If you want realism then just mute the sound. It's all about making an appealing experience to players.

[casperes0912]

@swerik88 uhmm theres not.. there is sound in his ship, and the station

[swerik88]

@casperes0912 so how come you can here the explosions from the other ships and when the other ships are shooting with there laser?

[casperes0912]

@swerik88 augmented sound

[ibanezgr]

@swerik88 because it's a game.

[Otakahunt]

@swerik88 your ship has vacuum in it, you can hear the cannons shooting obviously as they are connected to your ship.... the other explosion sounds are there to enhance the gameplay, it wouldnt be very fun to kill someone and hear nothing realistically.... for real, space is pretty boring place for people who are not deaf. :P

[VagueVindicator]

@swerik88 you here what is going on in your cockpit (no pun intended)

[DoctorMelon]

@swerik88 Must be a simulation done by the ship's computer! Advanced, eh?

[55peedy]

@swerik88 Maybe the game was made by the same guy that made starwars :pBecause lucas made same mistake in star wars LOL

[swerik88]

@55peedy Haha yeah I know!

[Xiron0998]

@swerik88 It would be a borning game without sound tho :P

[AkilZodiac]

@Xiron0998 but theres no sound in space.

[Xiron0998]

@AkilZodiac I know but it would be boring without sound like i said before

[qiplayer]

@AkilZodiac I think in space there are just vibration, the sound ou here can be justified because the ship get's this vibrations, and inside this vibration becomes a sound.

[AkilZodiac]

@qiplayer You realize sound is created when air vibrates, right? There is no air in space, so nothing vibrates, therefore there is no sound.

[qiplayer]

@AkilZodiac but the ship might vibrate, and the air inside also, so I think that you should be able to hear some sound that comes from the vibrations that the ship gets ;)

[CasperDar]

@swerik88 It's actually the pilot going ''pew pew pew''

[swerik88]

@CasperDar Haha out of 15 responses, that was the best one!

[CasperDar]

@swerik88 Wooo, victory! =P

[DeadScarab]

@swerik88 I KNOW!! i think at least. sound is just vibrations, well maybe the vibrations sent by the pulse cannon backwards at the ship produce sound waves that resinate inside the ship and the explosion, the particles and debris may be hitting the ship and causing the sound to occour in the ship? it's just a thought and I may be 99% wrong on this =3

[attackzac21]

@swerik88 Magic

[Impulse94z]

@swerik88 well if theres air in your spaceship, you might be able to hear your ship firing due to the vibrations going from your ship to the air to your ear.... however the explosions at a distance... yeh that doesn't make much sense

[crypsisjim]

@Impulse94z

No, the explosions don't make any sense.

But, if it was silent no matter what was going on outside your ship it would be a bit anti -climatic and, well, shit really. :0

[Afterfield]

@Impulse94z Perhaps in the future somebody has invented an ingenious computer system that takes imagery from around it and produces a fitting sound? Explosion sounds for explosion and etc. 

[nightmare647]

@swerik88 It wouldnt make much sense to create a game where it was completely silent

[Gatorsurfer1887]

@swerik88 magic.

[MrLurre95]

@swerik88 why do you care?! its a game!!

[kmjansen83]

@swerik88 well as soon there are objects or planets in your range, it will reflect the sound, if its completely empty space there is no sound

[ronaldli5]

@swerik88 yeah well no fucking person would wanna play space games with only music.

[briddenattech]

@swerik88

See, to add dramatic effect, the speakers in the ship are rigged to make a "pfffshhh" noise ever time you shoot, and a "PFFFFFF" every time you kill another ship. Notice there is hardly a sound when they shoot at you?

The cost of these sound systems are around 100k, but well worth it for the captain board of killing ships with no "BOOM" sound.

[swerik88]

@briddenattech I dont give a shit anymore

[weddingmachine]

@swerik88

it is not space, it is a game!

[de7con]

Anyone knows if in X3 you can get a 3rd-person view of your ship?

[Dunsay]

@de7con Yes, you can, and you can pan around it anyway you'd like. :)

[Ravalat]

This game really needs a cockpit. other than that, looks nice.

[pockeyandhentai]

I think i'll try this and freelancer 2.

[doomnationalist]

@pockeyandhentai dude there is no freelancer 2......

[rfcorange]

@doomnationalist well dont tell him that! a lot of us are still in denial...

[Sheelac]

@doomnationalist Tbh. There is in fact a Freelancer 2. Although it got cancelled, you can still get your hands on it. ;)

[KewlCrayon]

I just started this game a couple days ago, I'm still just beginning (under 1mil credits).

I've found that trading in ships is the most profitable during the start, once I had enough money I kitted out an M3 Ship while my TS did ore deliveries through Argon and the Ore Belt.

I literally just took a 400k Defend mission, won it, caused the pirate to abandon a 6 mil worth ship, but as I was docking into it, I clipped the ships wings together and it just instantly exploded from infinite grinding.

[meuhey]

no cockpit no planetary entry NO THANKS :(

[liamdudeeee]

@meuhey you judge a amazing game on 2 basic things. your an idiot.

[AkaviriDragonlord]

@meuhey cockpit mods are your friend :)... ht t p:// forum .eg os oft. com/view topic.p hp?t=254635 copy an paste all at once

[Hanibaltherogue]

I love X BUT i hate it, that there is no cockpit since Reunion... its like one of those shooters, that sucks...

i want my cockpitview back. :-(

[Shadowen567]

@HellsMaverick IP's can be changed at any time :P

[billyshob]

@Shadowen567 The person the IP address belongs to is kept in records with your ISP for an tentative amount of time :P

[colesnake4]

This this game worth 15$ (gold edition)

[ReviewersRomania]

@colesnake4 for 15$ it's very cheap buy it if you like space combat and business simulators .I played each and every X game but my favorite is X2

[kebubas]

Ok, why does this game look EXACTLY like Transcendence only3D? XD

[jonholloman]

wow these ghaphics are mind blowing

[jtsarr]

LOL

"Flying into ur anus"

HAHAHAAHAHHAHAHA

[Unterschiedliche]

@jtsarr I had the same thought exactly xD

[xoen6]

@jtsarr - hahaha, that's good eye sight proof :D

[davedavito]

@jtsarr its a planet if ur anus is uranus u got cancer

[MackerelAssasin]

@davedavito apparently someone here doesn't have a sense of humour since he's butthurt at a spaceship flying into his anus.

[DaiReith]

@jtsarr Are you trying to make a mass effect reference?

[55peedy]

@jtsarr You watched Jackass 3.5?? Fly to Uranus xD EPIC!!

[MrLurre95]

@jtsarr when i played this and went to uranus i laughed so hard.

[starflame34]

is this like a Massive Multiplayer online game that you have to pay for time cards or is the whole thing free?

[UnchainTheWolv3s]

@starflame34 it's a single player game.it costs 4$ on amazon or oyu can get it on steam

[TheReaper569]

anway to play this game in 3rd person?

[thamasteroneill]

@TheReaper569 yes it's just not very smart as your ship will undoubtedly get in your fov while in dogfights... besides the jet fighter element in this game is a pro not a con over other more rts like games (to it's fans anyway)

[EssedariusMaiestas]

.

i love the robot voice.

imagery is beautiful.

i'm getting this fo shor!

-.-

[Emilklog]

i playd x2 demo. i could not do the tutorial -.-

i have not playd space games before. (xept mass effect but thats not much of a space game)

[bestmankillah]

Freelancer is still waaaay better (to me :P)... graphics here are nice, but controls and "overview" of universe in Freelancer are sooooo much better/easier!! and storyline of Freelancer is better than Dark Star One and X series combined (to me at least), only it's too short in Freelancer...

Freelancer 2 or bust! :) I'm saving 15 million $ to develope it xD

[FlySpyGuy]

Can you land on planets?

[Shodex4]

@FlySpyGuy Sadly no, look at Evochron: Mercenaries for that. It's not as pretty, but it's the same thing with Planet Landing and a smaller learning curve.

[FlySpyGuy]

@Shodex4 Well, I will look at the game you said, but if not that, I will stick with Universal Combat.

[Shodex4]

@Shodex4 Just looked up Universal Combat, glad I did. :D

[ceasar8502]

@Kinkseraph you can get it from amazon for 4 dollars

[razered]

@ceasar8502 You can get it from TPB for 0 dollars

[HellsMaverick]

@razered I like how you just suggested piracy on a public website in which you have an account which stores your IP address.

[MrJarhead1994]

@Kinkseraph have you checked amazon i just bought it from there today

[Isoik]

Looks like vendetta online

[SNIGSUberHobo]

@Kinkseraph You can get a new copy off of an Ebay store for 7 bucks. I did and I'm waiting for it to get here. Best part is, you can register it on Steam!

[Chrismonchan]

@Kinkseraph You should grab the superbox while it's on sale!

[Chrismonchan]

@Kinkseraph Unless you have a large collection with D2D already, I would go with Steam. I mean, yes, D2D might have a larger collection of games, but Steam has a better community/user friendliness IMO. Also, the international DRM is just faster, easier to use, and more organized lol. I might sound like I'm being paid off by Valve, but really these are words of a long time digital gamer lol.

[Chrismonchan]

@Kinkseraph steam?

[zarathustra2k1]

Looks nice, but...

If you're listening, David Braben, Please give us Elite (or Frontier) for hi-spec PC! =]

[defie24]

lol i wonna buy it but the game looks boring

[realfunnybunny]

wow this game looks real boring

[marcosvidal]

booring?

ыыыы в космосе нет звука, а они так
