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.
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.
