How highly would you rate X REBIRTH, based on what you know about it right now?

OK guys! Since a lot of you commented that "we don't know that much" about X-rebirth, I felt it only fair to share what I know about the game, thus far.

I know this information is probably posted elsewhere, but since I am asking these poll questions based on "What we know" about X-rebirth, here are some things we know (or should know) about X-Rebirth so far:

(I had to really dig around to find some of these videos)

First of all, this interview with the developer sheds some interesting light on at least station development, and virtual piloting of drones and other ships from the main ship:

There is, of course, the extended Gamescom 2011 footage (watch past the trailer for some interesting stuff- there is a LOT more footage of the game, including some highly detailed footage of the internal workings of what (I think) is a space station manufacturing module, apparently accessible via virtual piloting of drones) The last section is freaking amazing:

There is a lengthy 14 minutes discussion of the new game, in detail, in the next video. Yeah, it's in German so you have to read it in English, but there is a lot of information in this video as well:

Here is yet ANOTHER discussion of X-Rebirth's game design, in English, from the developer. It's not that long, but it hits on some key elements of Rebirth's design (such as ship combat) and has even more footage of the game:

There are, of course, the screenshots/concept art (done nicely with music in this video):

And, of course the official teaser trailer (in 1080p HD here), which doesn't tell us as much as the other videos posted here (it's actually in 1 or 2 of the previous videos):

Another compilation of "What we know" in video form, apparently sources from other sources and I can confirm most of this from the interviews:

And lastly the "stickies" on the main site you just came from here:

http://forum.egosoft.com/viewforum.php?f=109

Finally, I have written a 'HIGHLY SPECULATIVE' article on what we know about X-Rebirth and what the game MIGHT look like, based on my own experience working on a game design team. Everything in this article is based on information we actually know so far, but my interpretations are just that, and this is not in any way an official release document:

Hope this helps!

If Ego says it is part of the X series then I KNOW it will be good
5 stars

[Samuel Creshal]

What point has such a poll? Rolling dice is just as accurate.

[Lifeforce87]

I think "1 Star: Sounds like they are going to ruin X!" dont fits here since xrb is not X5

[Ebyl Vampyre]

4 stars for me. I think 3 is really more appropriate since there just isn't a lot of info right now, but my faith in Egosoft brings it up to 4.

[Hektos]

3: There just isn't enough information out right now for me to give any kind of educated opinion. I give a 3 though because what we have seen so far looks pretty cool. I'm at that fence point, and the next bit of info they give out could push me either way.

[bluenog143]

I voted 5 because from what I've seen I think it'll be great! Afterall the other engine is outdated (does NOT support multicore, etc.), and this new engine will have stuff like multicore support, etc. and the gameplay features that Bernd mentioned are really sounding good. And I have to say the graphics for this game are excellent (newest screen as of this post). I think that with the way X:R is heading and from what I've seen, this will be the best X yet!

Three stars for a simple reason: New engine = Loads of Bugs.

[CuriosityKillsTheMADCat]

"What point has such a poll? Rolling dice is just as accurate. "

Rolling 7 on 1d10/2 (rounding down) gives it a 3!

MFG

[Falcrack]

3 here. I hope it's good, but they really have not released enough detailed info for me to know for sure whether I will really like it or not.

[Nibel]

4 starts,could be 5 if not for THAT ship.

[NLS]

Why there is no zero stars?

I cannot rate something that doesn't (yet) exist...

[EmperorJon]

Not this "I doesn't exist! They've gone bankrupt!" stuff again...

[NLS]

No I just wanted to be able to give zero. Anyway count it as zero.
Or "null" to be precise.

[EmperorJon]

Yes but what does "null" mean in the context of a specific reply!?
