It's currently being shown on Steam as one of the featured titles in the store. Looks interesting. The video says it is all in-game footage. It even looked like you could have a 1st person perspective for some parts of the gameplay, but I'm not sure. Still, it makes me curious as to what long-time X fans think.

I think pretty much everyone is excited about it. I've enjoyed the previous games, but never get far into them for one reason or another. Hoping this one is user friendly enough to keep me going.

I think you hit the nail on the head there for me Raw K.

I have revisited the X series many times and I always got overwhelmed by the complexity of it all to the point where I just thought 'f**k it' and gave up.

If Rebirth is made more user friendly then I'm in.

lol people from SimHQ complaining about a game not user friendly enough... x is much easier than dcs or bms

Welcome to the party, letterboy. We've been celebrating for awhile now. :-)

Neither of which I play.Too complicated

Just look up a guide like this one:

And it's not that hard. Nowhere near my learning curve was for DCS. Aside from the absolutely horrific character models on the radio and a universe that can be quite sterile feeling at times lately I've been playing Albion Prelude (required IMO since it balanced out the combat to not be nearly as silly). Good way to waste some hourse away.

The difference is DCS and BMS are still flight sims. Maybe there are more controls, or the cockpit has more things to do, but still it's "get a mission, take off, fly there, attack, fly back." There's no confusion about what you should be doing.

I tried X3 and was totally lost. A sandbox is good after the introductions are made. Even DCS now has tutorial missions. X needs that. Give me maybe 10 missions of increasing difficulty that lead me into the concepts I need and explain the larger universe...THEN let me into the sandbox.




The Jedi Master

Just caught up with some recent video. This one just wowzers.

Indeed it is.

Going to be great! Usually videos about scale and consequences like that are presented by Peter Molyneux. LOL
I'd like to know the specs to run smoothly with all of that going on at once on the screen.

X - 27 days

All of the original x series games had their moments that would bog down even the beefiest of machines. I imagine this will be no different. The trade off in frames per second looks like it will be worth it. Can't wait to get my copy.

New trailer is up.

Sweet jimminies!

How can I resist when you post videos like that?

I hope I don't need a new PC for it.

Hope it doesn't take forever to get your operation up to the level of the video.
I don't want to play on anything even remotely similar to Eve time.

OMG, cant wait. Great looking video. Please don't be a letdown.

Yeah really looking forward to this, looks great!

Another video up featuring the 'long range scanner'

About a week to go!
