 Posted: Wed, 18. Feb 09, 16:50 Post subject: Coming Soon - X3: Terran Conflict 2.0 Updated 18-Mar-09 |
   |
|
Würselen, Germany – Egosoft, renowned developer of the acclaimed X Universe computer games, which are available on PC, Mac and Linux, has announced to the press that the latest version of its critically acclaimed title, X3: Terran Conflict, will be available at all major US retail outlets from 7th April 2009.
This latest version entitled X3: Terran Conflict 2.0 – The Aldrin Missions, will feature a host of new missions, new ships and much more great content and is a product of Egosoft’s continuing development of and support for an already outstanding title. The game will be available at all major US retail outlets and on Steam, a leading platform for the delivery and management of PC games and digital content with over 15 million accounts around the world. Existing owners of X3: Terran Conflict (DVD-ROM and Steam) will also be pleased to know that concurrent with the US DVD-ROM release, X3: Terran Conflict 2.0 – The Aldrin Missions will be made available for download as a patch from Egosoft.com and Steam.
“We couldn’t be more excited to get X3: Terran Conflict 2.0 – The Aldrin Missions into our customers’ hands,” said Bernd Lehahn, managing director of Egosoft. “With this new version, we will build on the fantastic critical response to X3 and will deliver a truly memorable experience to the gamer.”
In X3: Terran Conflict 2.0 - The Aldrin Missions the long-lost Terran colony of Aldrin is rediscovered and after many years of isolation, the Terrans are keen to bring the Aldrans back into the fold. The Terrans are making a massive effort to colonise areas of space thought lost or inaccessible. No colonisation is easy and you will not only be asked to help in the shaping of the new frontier but you will also be called upon to provide protection for the colonisation effort against forces determined to oppose the Aldrin expansion. You will be able to build new Terran stations and complexes, a new Terran ship will be available and a host of other new features are introduced as you play a decisive role in the shaping of this new Terran frontier.
X3: Terran Conflict 2.0 - The Aldrin Missions will be published in North America by IGS Games inc.
More news and information about X3: Terran Conflict 2.0 - The Aldrin Missions will be available in the next edition of X Universe News.
Update 18th March 2009 - Blog post by SymTec ltd. detailing the fixes and improvements in Universe traders (Trade Mk3) - Notably the fix for the Standby bug.

I think that is the headline for most forum users. 
It will be interesting to see how 2.0 gets reviewed.

Good!
I just bought the retail store copy of X3:TC three days ago. I didn't want to find out I'd bought an orphan and would be expected to buy a 'big patched' version AGAIN!!!

Dang, some part of me almost wishes I had waited to buy it for this cool new box! Almost 
It would have been nice to have it in stores over here (US), but was easy enough to get online anyway. Nice to see Ego pushing to get it to our part of the world!

I want that either but I know it will be sold in the first day and I will make a thread "where I can buy X3 TC v2.0".

Paranid cares about look of box not. Patch from lesser creatures in germany want - now ! Unholy creature Parnid impatient makes, by the holy pontifex maximus of Paranidia!
PS: ATF Captial Ships to buy want 
PPS: Thanks a lot Egosoft! I thought the development was coming to an end but to see this.. *sigh* perfect! The ROI for this game is really excellent!

Good news. I'm tempted to buy another X3TC.

Yes, the continuing development of and support for their games is a very strong point of Egosoft and one of the main reasons why I am a faithful buyer of their games.

It would be interesting to know if they have incorperated any of the scripts developed by this forum into the actual game. And whether they have inproved the autopilot feature. But i doubt it...

Lol!
This new release sounds really good! I hope they have improved some things though such as some of the features people have mentioned.
Can't wait!

meh!
Unless they improve the plots and requirements for the Aldrin missions for traders/explorers (non fighters - alternate plot routes would be good), I can't say I'm that interested. The way things currently are, it won't be worth me installing it because I won't ever be able to benefit from the new missions and their rewards.
So much for Think, Build and Trade....
