Hi guys,i was just wondering which game you guys will buy.As of yet we have gotten little or no information about X Rebirth.But with Star Citizen we are constantly getting more info.For me the lack of info of X Rebirth is really putting me of the game,and i am more inclined of following Star Citizen.How about you guys?

Ah, choice, sweet choice. I would know better than forget Rogue System, though.
Sure it´s going to take longer to see it alive, but it still gives me so many good vibes...
Anyway, Rogue System and Elite for me.
SC it´s just... I don´t know... Too much hype, maybe?
It really scares me.
But I´m just me.

Well I've backed SC, elite and rouge System. Might not be enough space (  ) on my hard drive / heart for X as well.

I voted for both. Didn't know you could walk around your ship. I take it there are not just fighters then, we get larger ships too?
I X Rebirth has those stupid character models for the comms window like it has now (and always had in the X games) then I don't know if I can play it as I HATE them, they look so out of place.

Well... RS didnt make their KS so your not backing it any more. Last I heard they were going to open up presales though once it got further along?
Cant wait for that one too.
I didnt back Elite and I am kicking myself for it. Now the price is higher and Im still balking lol.

Probably end up with all of them, but none are coming any time soon. SC puts out TOO MUCH info. X Rebirth might be putting out the right amount if it's far out.
I seem to collect these titles whether I play them or not, so it's a safe bet I'll have them. The good news about SC is that so many have locked themselves into it already around here that we should have a good group to get into it with at the same time. I know most of the MWO regulars have put something into it, so we'll just split our time up.

If SC manages to achieve even half of what they promised it will be awesome. X Rebirth should be great too.
Personally I'm just glad to see good space games coming out, and will be glad to support the good ones.

Both, for sure. Agreed re: those awful cartoonish animations in the comm window in X games. Ditto the stupid pilot responses during combat. Wish they'd just shut up.

SC puts out TOO MUCH info. For me it's not enough info. There is one major thing I would like to know. How big the space is in SC? Are there sectors like in X series, what about solar systems, are they realistic (like in Orbiter or Space Engine), is the space continuous unlike in X series? I've pledged to the SC, but I refuse to give them more money until I know this all. I'll get all the games eventually. SC, Elite, X:Rebirth, Rogue System, Limit Theory, etc. if they will have good single player campaign/coop play. Not interested in mmo pvp style.

Sadly they have already confirmed the 50km bubble sector mechanic. In a system each point of interest will have a 50km bubble (Actual size has not been confirmed). So if you had a 5 planet solar system each planet would have a bubble you could fly around in (but not all the way around the planet) as would anything else like an asteroid belt or etc. You fly between them using an autopilot system. During your autopilot flight the game can hit you with random encounters or an encounter with another player using the same space lane.
There will be no atmospheric flight on launch and no orbital mechanics or anything else like that. This is the one major letdown for me with the game but I will at least wait to see how well their system works before I make my final judgment.

I was expecting something more than that. Thanks for the links CTR69. Too bad they are so focused on the spacecraft, not on the space itself. I guess it will be fun and all, but that's not what I was expecting. Hopefully Elite will deliver.

But this is much better from gameplay POV, because you do your business faster. You still have great immersion since you actually have to land on a planet or a space station. You're not dealing with extremes like browsing through menus on one side and doing retro burns, orbit alignments and aero braking on the other. This is the balancing CR talks about where they have to balance fun and realism.
