Maybe this is a way to imply that they aren't planning to end the X series?
I'm afraid they are.,

"Now almost 10 years after the first game was released, we are close to the release of the final chapter of this series: X3:Terran Conflict."

Looks like X will get the best sendoff of any space sim series.

I wonder what's next for Egosoft? I hope they stay with space sims, or at least a space theme.

final chapter of this series
Clue is there and i think it just means the last chapter in the earth and experimental ship and kyle story. They will probably start a new story within the universe and do another 4-5 games of that.

I would actually love for them to do a new space game and see if they can make a new ip for themselves and grow so they dont just have one game type thats known by them. Hopefully in the future they will have made a string of diff games so they can prove they can do new ideas instead of reusing x forever which in all honesty is getting dull the universe imo and i bet many others who have all the x games and are craving the same style sandbox game but new story, races, space setting etc.

Last time i looked it was only in a post made by a moderator with the word "think" made in to a url to a youtube version of the trailer. And last time i looked the first post of the blog sticky topic didn't contain the link or mention of it and its not on the homepage in news section of egosoft site. So its not noticeable and only ppl who look in that blog topic would find it.

For easy finding Here it is

I also think that music is awesome, and would like to know if there is a longer version (and whether it'll be present in TC!) :D

I think it would make good combat music. :)

If you want to actually see everything, like the missions panel, I would suggest downloading it from filefront. It's widescreen and superb quality.

That mission thing has me PUMPED, looks great! Wish I had my own SETA device. Set that on 10x til the 26th.

Sooooo, here's a question...is Enlight on board with this? Are we going to see a simultaneous release across the Pond? Should I buy the UK version?

Looks like Deep Silver is the US based 'arm' of Koch Media, so I would guess (yes, more speculation!) that they will be distributing it somehow. Interesting that Amazon.co.uk has X3:TC available for pre-order, also with a 9/26/08 release date, but the stateside Amazon site does not.

Having only come to play X at X3 sometime in 07, the universe isn't that old to me, although exploration is really pointless for me. I just want to jump everywhere I need to go.

A completely fresh start for Egosoft would be good. As long as it's sandbox, I'll have faith in them. Whatever it is, though, I hope it has a good plot and storyline. X3's, I'm finding rather weak, and leaving the storyline for dead can really take the life out of a game for me. However real it is in other aspects.

Think about Mass Effect. The encyclopedia has loads of articles about the races, technology, and lore in its universe, which I would always read with great fascination. It all seemed to fit together perfectly, and while the game had a great storyline, there were always side missions to do as well. (not nearly sandbox-level but oh well.)

I guess what I'd love is a game with X's gameplay, and Mass Effect's attention to detail and story.

I agree about the attention to detail with mass effect like the encyclopaedia it uses which details races, tech and stuff. It would be nice to have a inship database you could call up and read through it when your a bit bored.

Thanks mate. :)

I wonder what this is. Possibly station interior docking is back? Or maybe just for the HQ? Or maybe its a mission thats like the tunnel mission in x3?

Terran architecture has a very clean, efficient style to it. It reminds me of mid-twentieth century science-fiction literature.
When I first saw the Terran stations, my first thought was that an X-wing would probably look rather at home in one. Seriously, I think the styles are really similar.

I do like it a lot. The ship at 2:41 in the Think trailer looks like an evolved version of a modern space shuttle. That I really like too.

Yeah he kinda reminds me of G Man from the Half Life games, except not quite as creepy.

Just found this on play.com:

Special Features

* New user interface allowing entire control using the mouse
* Introducing a brand new faction - "The Terrans"
* Ability to enter Earths systems and visit well known sectors such as Saturn and many more
* New group management allowing control of more ships
* Over 100 new ships, classes and weapons
* Capture huge battle ships with your own pirate crew

That last one sounds good!

I bloody well hope it's in the game itself. Gives me a fantastic 'last stand' feeling.

The soundtrack for The Reunion is really starting to get stale for me, so if they can make a masterpiece like this for a trailer, surely the release will be jam packed full of epic tracks like this one.

Man, every so often a song comes along that I want to listen to over and over and over, this is definitely one of them.

@ "Special Features":
* Gerbils are free to run remote ships, but I .. will .. not .. touch .. a rodent.
* Brand new? So it was a gas leak instead of Terran ships shooting the other day?
* Well known Saturn sector? Never heard of.
* Control more? More than how many? Hundred?
* Like we didn't already have many ships to choose from.
* Define "huge". How much larger than K? All my crews are legit, mind you.
