2001 and Bladerunner mentioned as having influenced the X-games

Pre rendered cut scenes instead of in game, a good idea methinks..

Unfortunately no new information whatsoever in the article.

Pre rendered scenes is good to see.

As for the screenshots i like the one with the really huge TS. How long do you really need a TS to be?

Yeah, for us maniacs who read every little bit of information on which we can get our hands on, there's nothing new.

Oh well, if they would tell us even more then we know now, there would be nothing left to explore in the game.

PS. The part about the AI. Sounds interesting. Hmm... I'm wondering....

In the screen shot, a ship with registration YM3IF-41 looks like it is attached to something. Turn out that it is an Argon Nova a few screens later. Wow, looks like you can attach modules to M3 as well, and make it carry big payloads?

You may want to fix the link btw

"If you ask about a single important feature of our games it can always only be the freedom because in the end that’s what the whole X games are all about. "

Amen to that.....

it has probably been pointed out before but these screenshots make it look like you will be able to join multiple ships together in TR

Excellent. That Mamba thingy looks even more bizarre now...wonder what its specs are?

Holywhippet · Post by **Holywhippet** » Tue, 1. Feb 05, 22:53

For me, the really good news is that cutscenes will be actually prerendered and won't be using the game engine. I mean Julian is supposed to be romantically involved with Saya Kho but it's hard for me to buy that since she looks like some kind of mutant.

Isn't this a duplicate of The_Abyss's thread here?

Not really... check the post time. Abyss' thread is the duplicate

I like the 8 new screenies. But i am afraid that that large freighter will get stuck between the docking port doors. And even before releasing there is a "patch 5". But a very gentle interface.

Release Out Now

Wait? Out now?

Factory Complex Hangar Alpha? Wonder what that is and what more could it mean hmmm...

...and the truly innovative alien races are those who never appeared before.

Now this is interesting.. first stop for me, the Unknown sectors to check if they aren't so unknown.

No, no, grasshopper - TR is patch 5... in a manner of speaking.

It wouldn't surpirse me if you logged on here on the release date to see a patch already there waiting to be downloaded though.
