Luridis Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 This dog is finally going to hunt on November 15th, just in time for my birthday. The engine looks just spectacular... Makes me wonder if they're using double-precision for the world space coordinates. http://www.egosoft.com/community/news_en.php Fere libenter homines id quod volunt credunt. - Julius Caesar #define TRUE (!FALSE) I ran across an article where the above statement was found in a release tarball. LOL! Who does something like this? Predictably, this oddity was found when the article's author tried to build said tarball and the compiler promptly went into cardiac arrest. If you're not a developer, imagine telling someone the literal meaning of up is "not down". Such nonsense makes computers, and developers... angry.
Keyrock Posted August 9, 2013 Posted August 9, 2013 Yeah, I mentioned this in the Random Video Game News Thread, but I suppose it wouldn't hurt for this to have its own thread. RFK Jr 2024 "Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks
Lord of Lost Socks Posted August 10, 2013 Posted August 10, 2013 I just hope and pray that the gameplay is solid. My thoughts on how character powers and urgency could be implemented: http://forums.obsidi...nse-of-urgency/

Malcador Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 Looks pretty. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
Keyrock Posted August 22, 2013 Posted August 22, 2013 The botanical garden factory, sunrise flower farm, I presume, is breathtaking. RPS has higher res pictures, I'm just too lazy to go through the steps necessary to link to the higher res versions.

Bos_hybrid Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Damn those pics are nice. Great xenon ships look like that, when I can't pilot them..... Come on X universe modders. 1
Keyrock Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) Damn those pics are nice. Great xenon ships look like that, when I can't pilot them..... Come on X universe modders. The X modders are pretty good. The X-Tended mods for the X3 series were awesome. Granted this game is brand new built from the ground up, so there will be a period where they have to learn the new engine, but I'm sure the modders will hook us up. I'm hoping Egosoft themselves or modders make other races playable. I generally play like a Teladi, so I might as well play an actual Teladi, rather than a human acting like a Teladi. Profitsssss.

licketysplit Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Just breathtaking. This is like my dream game, exploring space, building alliances, roaming around in space stations. I'll likely need a $1500 PC for this and Witcher 3 but it'll be worth every penny.
Gfted1 Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 The PC requirements listed on the Steam page didn't seem too steep. "I'm your biggest fan, Ill follow you until you love me, Papa"
Keyrock Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) The PC requirements listed on the Steam page didn't seem too steep. My lappy meets the "recommended" settings. Yay! There's pretty much no chance I'll be able to run at max settings, but I think I'll still be able to turn a good chunk of the bling on. When I build a new desktop rig approximately a year from now, I'll almost certainly be able to max this. If it's anything like the previous X game, I'll still be playing this at that time.

Keyrock Posted September 27, 2013 Posted September 27, 2013 (edited) Trading and mining trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfJOYeJfD9c It's like they made the trailer specifically for me. Trading is my jam in space sims. On behalf of Chairman Ceo, the Teladi company wish you great profit and welcome you onboard. The level of detail on the capital ships and stations is staggering. Too bad my lappy won't be able to handle this at maximum eye orgasm. Hopefully I can push mid-level eye orgasm until I build a new rig some 9 or 10 months from now.

Keyrock Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Thought you meant there would be classical music. LOL. No I meant BRAHMS! The noise they use in (mostly sci-fi) movie trailer like crazy these days. The most notable (over)use were trailers for Inception. /Leonardo DiCaprio doing stuff BRAHHHHHHHM! BRAHHHHHHHM! //Joseph Gordon-Levitt doing stuff BRAHHHHHHHM! BRAHHHHHHHM! ///Ellen Page staring off into space BRAHHHHHHHM! BRAHHHHHHHM!

Malcador Posted October 21, 2013 Posted October 21, 2013 Yes, I kind of gathered that from actually viewing the video you linked to. Still, wasn't too bad, the cuts weren't ADHD and there was no heavy dubstep in between. Why has elegance found so little following?

licketysplit Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Hell yes. This looks so much more immersive than previous X games.

licketysplit Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Can't believe it's almost here and I haven't got a new PC yet. *cries* I'll buy it anyway, have it lurking on my Steam account.
Malcador Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Hm, wonder how soon it will be on a Steam sale. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra
licketysplit Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Hm, wonder how soon it will be on a Steam sale. Good point. Probably best to hold off anyway to let them work out the inevitable bugs and such. Such a massive game is likely to need tweaking well after launch. Edited November 8, 2013 by licketysplit
