Re: Can't see anything.
well its not really egosofts fault that you dont have the correct codecs installed.snyderm wrote:I have the same Codec problem as everyone else.
Why can't egosoft ever do anything simple?
videos always need to have the correct codec for them to work, theres no way around that
apart from that there was just one guy before you who reported having trouble playing back the video - not "everyone".
Besides I'd consider using one of the most common and freely available codecs that is supported under almost every operating system quite "simple".
on topic:
looks really good, looking forward to "when it's done"

Without it, the file would have been MUCH bigger.

Err - isn't that exactly what I said?Jakesnake5 wrote:Xvid IS free, easy to download and install.666 wrote:Besides I'd consider using one of the most common and freely available codecs that is supported under almost every operating system quite "simple".

I knew I should have quoted the post I was referring to... d'oh!
(my comment was aimed at the line "Why can't egosoft ever do anything simple?")
Anyway I'm glad it worked out for snyderm so he can enjoy the teaser as we do

My face =
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous weapons and explosions. This is what X3R should have been.
I counted at least 3 ships that I could have identified as an Argon Nova... but they were all vastly different! Not sure what to make of that... but it's interesting indeed
And that missile cruiser! The torpedo-style launch! That was beautiful.
Where, though, was this "new weapon / weapons" Ego speaks of?...

interesting,
quite a few of new ships, looks like
the engine effects look more like X2's, dont they?
now, what the heck is on 0:18-0:19?
looks like reavers or something from XTM (though I havent played XTM)?
PAC/HEPT fire got changed on 0:20, or a new weapon?
0:24 - funky missile, maybe too pretty?
0:32 - missile launches! - look nice on the big ships
0:38 - missile explosions? - excellent

I noticed that, and it wasn't just the engine trails, it was that lens flare sort of effect... I missed that quite a bit in X3R and I'm glad to see it back (hopefully)fiksal wrote: the engine effects look more like X2's, dont they?
EDIT
Also just went back and looked at those shots being fired by the Argon capital around 0:21... if you pause the video you'll see that they look like little squids! Or something. And they each have a trail and one of those little lens flares... very very pretty. Hope I get a new comp soon

Looking like things are getting more sculptural with greater use of colour.

Oooh. I really like the idea of re-balancing cap-ship battles. Good old fasioned torpedo slogs, with guns reserved for point defense. None of this full PPC loadout and slog it out rubbish (well, not rubbish, but it's less tactical)

wow just watched the vid, looks cool! Would be nice if they had some shield effects in this one (more like a second skin on the ship that's like a meter off the hull that lights up when hit, or like a bubble shield ....anyway
Can't wait! Game looks awsome!

Have to admit, I dont like the aesthetics of the new argon ships shown
like, at all. Modeling is fine, I just dont like the concepts (except perhaps for the very first fighter shown)--they look too much like novas with extraneous stuff bolted on and have lost any semblance of a sleek sexy look.
All in all the trailer actually depressed me a bit, think I'll just be sticking with X3+XTM
