The orignal screenshot was taken in 1280x720 with 4xSGSSAA and 16:1 AF.

Thanks for clearing it up!
Don't know why there's all this rage about something that was clearly speculation. Or do people need it spelt out more *that it's speculation*?

Anyway, can't wait to see the next screen. I suspect it'll involve space in some way...

(EDIT additional clause added between asterisks)

Odds are Deepsilver would flip their shit over unofficial publication or something like that, basically it wouldn't go well.
Deepsilver's handling of X-Rebirth is like how Hasbro handles Bronies: Not very well. (My opinion at least, I await flaming

)

Wait wait wait... there's a video?

How about taking 30 screen shots a second for a few minutes for us

Nice to hear another screen coming out so soon after such a lengthy silence. A good sign of release perhaps?

There are a few things we can take about this screen though.

1. There looks to be damage meshes for the ships which the X-series desperately needed. Especially for capitol ships that can soak up a ton of damage. Can't tell yet iif damage effects are localized to where the shot hit or just a standard procedure for mesh changes/particle effect spawns.

2. Looks like ships may finally leave wreckage behind. No more shooting a ship 20 meters in front of you just to fly through the explosion. i hope they let us collect the wreckage for supplies.

3. There definitely looks to be some post processing effects on the ship on the right which has been as noticeable in previous games. Can be kinda tricky identifying the effect themselves in a still image though so we will just have to wait and see.

4. Down in the bottom right there looks to be a comet or something. (or a piece of shrapnel) If it is a comet hopefully we will see more dynamic backgrounds

Can't wait for the next shot, Or video ;D

Actually, setting it up as a .GIF might still count it as an image and not a video. Meaning it'd likely get past those crazy publishers since it would still be "Screenshot" of the Week and not Video of the Week

Thnx for clearing that up Iifrit. I'm also glad you added the specifications

The artifacts are why I prefer to extract the master frames from a compressed video and use them instead of making a screen from a video. This way you're sure you get a clean still since a master frame is the base which is merged with divs to determine each subsequent frame.

This is not meant as criticism just as a (hopefully helpful) tip.

Looking forward to the next screenshot

Hehe...Amazing screenshot

Reminds me of the early X2 days , when there was also a kind of a new engine (you get my point) and any new screenshot released brought more and more speculation...

Now after so many years, i am ready again to venture into the Unknown X Universe...

PS:Hopefully, tomorow we'll have a new screenshot..

And he's still online, what if the screen is going to be released today!?

Post by **X2-Illuminatus** » Wed, 4. Jul 12, 18:38

I don't want to destroy anyone's hopes, but an Egosoft site admin being online in the Egosoft forum is not that special...

And his name is Iifrit (not Iriff) Tambuur-san, btw.

If Bernd showed up here, then I'd be impressed.

Mostly.

There are some good news and some bad news for all drug manufactures in the X-Universe. The Spaceweed is onboard in Rebirth as you can see here the Spaceweed Production. The bad news these modules are visible from a long distance with this flash green within the farming domes. So you have to hide them very well from the Patrols.
