Let's hope they make cockpits this time.

Cool stuff, I thought they were done with the X Universe after TC but it appears not.

I thought they were done too, X:TC must've done really well.
Good news IMO. I wonder if they're going to include some atmospheric action? They show a base that looks like it's inside a planet's atmosphere, or very close there towards the end.

Yeah!!:) Great news;)

I'm hoping that the story of the X-Universe with that supernova thingy conveys new possibilities to the gameplay...The trailer looks really nice really fresh compared to what TC was to X3 and X3 to X2. Looking forward to it. Veeeery much looking forward to it;)

Never did quite get sucked into X3, but I'm more than willing to give this a shot. Looks like it has a lot more life to it. Hope it makes its way to consoles some day.

I really tried to get into X3, but I never did. I would like a new space sim and I hope this does the trick.

I hope they'll make a proper space with star systems instead small sectors. I don't hold my breath though.

There's a gate in the video, plus it's the X universe so I'm sure you'll still be flying through places like Argon Prime and Heretic's End otherwise it would sort of break the whole story.

Gates are ok. I'd prefer a correct solar systems as a sector though, and jumping from one to another.

I really, really want to get into X3:TC but I just can't. I like making money as a bounty hunter since I can't quite figure out how the economy works. My factories always do just adequately. But it seems that the opponents ramp up much faster than my money and equipment. It just gets to a point where I can't survive some of the fights. Love the setting though.

I just heard about X Rebirth. More info here:

the game looks amazing in the vids!

I've really enjoyed this series, they'll get my money as soon as it's available!

Judging from some video (:49 second mark), it's gonna have cockpits. Woot.

Now that would be very nice indeed!

Bit more news. Impressive.

Without mp it isnt worth the time until it drops to $5.

You couldn't possibly be more incorrect.

Oh these poor souls.................
Honestly, you either like it or hate it!
The fighting is fun, once you have a good ship, otherwise you are a moving target, but the trading is the heart of the game, playing it for more than 100 hours is not an exception to the rule, its the norm. It´s cool since it´s a trading sim, that is not just fixed to menues, but also has action and a story. So I challenge that statement, It is going to be totally worth the comeout price of 49 Euros, heck even more, more so than any Call of Duty or Red River ever was.

All X games were hard games were you had to earn everything, If you had a destroyer you knew that you had actually earned it. And trading got never boring, since it´s a dynamic trading system in which the prices are tied to supply and demand. Plus you could outsmart the other traders or just outrun them on a cargo run, if you upgraded your ship. Plus you could build your own stations and ships, so you could really build up your own empire. Plus you had direct control over your ship unlike in EVE. Now if they made an MP mode for it, or an MMO that would be awesome, but I fear its in the far future. Also the X-games have a very rich background, which get´s increasingly rare. And a good modding community.

Hmm I need to get into my Argon Merkur. I need money for a new factory and a new fighter. Just started another X2 playthrough.

Well said!

To each his own I guess. Im one of those people who cant fly a mission in realtime offline if there was a promise of action but would fly 10 missions online with a friend even if the sky was empty.

So to me MP is very important and without it the X are fun but have no lasting appeal.
