mglushed motion blur, depth of field lowers the fps allot on most pcs + the video you linked it shows unreal engine 3 which works for high end pc mostly and is not for space simulations egosoft made a new engine just for this game thats why this game will be awesome.

amtie i agree it would be cool to paint your own ships not hole ship just a part of it like a logo that can be customize :D

i hope we can have like a Empire logo like you could do on X2

and also colour your ships, so they all have a smilar colour to show you that they are all part of the same faction.

They usually update later in the day. (Give it 2-6 more hours)
Admitting you have a problem is the first step in figuring out how to make it worse.

Yup, i had noticed that already, I think it is as close as we are getting to a user interface screenshot until release...
You can even see it on photoshoped screenshots like this one:

I think this is related to some 3D object or scene display "dev" software they use.

Something to set up the scenes for them to see and where they grab the pics too.

Actually your discovery (I never noticed before), MAY indicate that I am wrong about the concept art thing. :P

Still doesn't indicate actual gameplay grabs.

We'll see the new screenshot and talk again.

I don't need any improvement to the graphics engine or sound. TC is already really nice.

What I want is just solid and fun gameplay with all the cool things they mentioned.... like being able to completely customize ships, stations and the playership.

Yes, it is taken from the engine or modeling software. If it was placed in-game it might be harder for users to see where the surface element started. Putting a model on a plain backdrop is a clear way to show model detail that may be effected in some game play screenshots.

A lot of development companies release screenshots of models in-game. Such as EA, Crysis, Bioware and more.
Still doesn't indicate actual gameplay grabs.
If the engine supports real time rendering, sort of like how the UDK or cryengine does, then they can easily go "in-game" from the editor instantly to take any screenshots.

That means it has a 80% chance of being in-game. They have textured, rendered and probably coded the event and interactions for it. It may change by the time of release though. everything is subject to change when in development.

But as i've said before, none of the screenshots are concept art.

If they have real time rendering then they can easily build the map or scene and go directly into it for any screenshots and testing. This depends on what engine they've coded or using and how it is setup.

But no, they probably haven't exported the files into a working game just to take the screenshots. they do it within the editor and engine software. Again this varies between what software developers use.

Also keep in mind some of these screenshots are 7 months old, which has been confirmed. Not sure why they aren't releasing any new recent screenshots. but i hope they do soon, so we can judge the progress and maybe the final quality we can expect to see in-game.

This week there are four pictures. The first picture shows a mining drone. The second picture shows the shield drone. Both drones are still known by the GamesCom. And so the Torpedo Drone doesn't feel so alone among the other screenshots, these two images were uploaded, too. The third will be once every 3 drones merged and the activation sequence of the Torpedo Drone is shown in more detail.
Now to actually screen shot of the week. I myself can say little except that it really is a new screenshot which hasn't been seen yet. Have fun with it.

I'm really to sad and I'm sorry about it to announce this. But this week it was the last new screenshot so far and for the next weeks you will have to forgo upon new pictures. I'm aware about the expectations that have been made here in the last months towards this thread and the new picture for the following week. But it was me that decided to make a cut here and give Egosoft the opportunity to make new screenshots in a better quality to show the actual development progress of X Rebirth.

I guess the last one, or the latest one...
The one with the station is new, I haven't seen it before and it looks cool.

Those shield drones look awesome, as long as you can use more then one at a time. You can setup a quick network or wall of shields during huge battle to deflect / stop some fire for strategy gameplay.

Very nice screenshots!!!

But.... it's a shame that those are the last ones for this topic; I hope that egosoft post new ones very soon.
