Just a month ago X³: Terran Conflict was announced, but little information is yet available. Today Egosoft presents a first short teaser video for the game.

It shows some of the new ships and weapons in action. We hope you like this little foretaste.

As usual the video can be downloaded from the Downloads section of this site.

Have fun!

Check your codecs. There are also some gaming sites which can stream the video.

It works okay for me, but I have Xvid and DivX installed.

Looky priddy!

EDIT: It's encoded with XVID MPEG-4.

Really nice stuff!
Thnx ego!

If you're having problems with the Codec, you need at least XviD (not DivX) 1.0.1 installed and that should clean it up.

Thanks for that Carlo

Would've posted the link after a small search, but I see someone's been quicker than I

Meh, here it is anyway:
http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/

Oh, it's a different one, but this is what Microsoft's site linked to

Those ships look really awsome and those missle effects are alot better then any I`ve seen jet

Hope to see more soon.

Huhh... Looks like you guys took a lot of ideas from XTM.

(no offense)
And that you took a couple of drastic remodelling of the ships. Ohh well.... we got used to it (from X-BTF to X3, every ship had a new look), but with the "old" engine, it's just quite...unusuall.
But still: great job Egosoft, I'm really looking forward to this game!

Ohh, and one more thing: I LOVE THAT MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm curious as to the system specs of the recording PC - there's definitely some FPS issues there - hopefully that's just a case of little optimisation yet and running FRAPs at the same time.
Missile effects - interesting, but possibly a bit much... the missile impact explosions seemed quite big, too.

Other than a minor quibble about missiles and a comment on an alpha/beta-build's FPS, I like it a lot

My other half says "the music's much better!", and my 3yr old keeps saying "and again" every time the video finishes - he's certainly a fan!

*edit*
The video has now looped at least 20 times, and he's still saying "and again" after each repeat...

I've already put in a request for more music with CBJ.

I liked that Missile Frigate/Cruiser/Whatever-it-is.

Sounds like he's stuck - give him a gentle nudge & see if he says something else

*edit* having now seen the highQ vid..
Well - must say that overaall I'm most impressed.

Is it using the same engine (tweaked) or a new one ??
Is it truely 'in game' footage - if so I'm more than 'most' impressed.

As others have said - looks purdy

I'm relatively new to the X universe, but was still impressed by the current engine & how well its stood the test of time (although I suspect that the newer HW may have improved things over when it was released).

This looks like its gonna be a hit chap.

Why can't egosoft ever do anything simple?

well its not really egosofts fault that you dont have the correct codecs installed.

videos always need to have the correct codec for them to work, theres no way around that

Deleted User · Post by **Deleted User** » Wed, 5. Mar 08, 20:23

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"

Xvid IS free, easy to download and install.

Without it, the file would have been MUCH bigger.

snyderm · Post by **snyderm** » Wed, 5. Mar 08, 20:45

All right working now, looks good. Missles are looking pretty.

Sorry, I had to install codecs for three people because they are asking me why it doesn't work!

Looks good, though.
