THIS is exactly the frame of mind you should all be in. This way when the game gets released only good things can happen.Hornet108 wrote:I am still sceptical we will see the game this year - and given that, when it finally does release, I am sceptical it will be competitive and a critical success. Honestly I have lost all faith in this product, too many delays, too little information, I check back from time to time now because honestly its impossible not to watch a train wreck in progress.
I'm sorry, is it me you are referring to when you say people live in a world where they expect things they are not entitled to and we just expect it to be provided to us?dougeye wrote:We live in a world were everyone expects things they have no entitlement to, they just expect it to be provided for them, we also live in a world were every other internet user can sit behind a screen anonymously spouting bout's of wisdom as if they are the foremost expert on the gaming industry, it grinds my gears when people start saying things like "this is vapourware" and other such catchy and cynical phrases purely because in most cases they think they sound clever and well informed.
Not every game production is a call of duty clone that has a massive studio team pumping out the same sludge of gameplay with a slightly different setting and characters every six months. Yes it is well known that this game has been delayed for what ever reason, no one apart from Egosoft know exactly why but at least Egosoft have done something about the delay situation, X3AP, as the release of X3AP - 3.0 yesterday clearly shows Egosoft is actively supporting both its own interests and the community of fans. not many developers in this day and age add content to their games without a price tag attached.
I am normally pecemistic about a lot of things but In the case of X-Rebirth I am confident that the game will arrive when it is ready, so what if that is 2 months time or 2 years time, ive got plenty to fill my life with in the mean time. And who cares if its is positioned to release at a time which is the most "competitive". If the game is good, then the game is good, I don't care if there are tow other space sims out at the same time I will play them when I have exhausted my first play through of X-Rebirth.
Egosoft are clearly actively working on the product as evidenced in the new videos and Egosoft as a studio is clearly active as it is signing off new content for its existing products. People just need to be patient. The game is coming, just everyone stop with the fancy phrases and putting the world to rights because you have to wait a bit longer to play a videogame. When there is concrete evidence of the game being cancelled etc then start complaining.
On that note im off to play some Skyrim DLClol
Some consider 3000 to be part of the current millennium.Clock_Work wrote:HEY! At least we know its gonna be released sometime in this millennium. I was worried we'd have to wait until the year 3000.
He was careful to use "we" so pretty much directed to all. Anyway this is not a kick starter project so we are not entitled to anything. I find no difference between this game release and the release of hundred of games before, same pace for screenshots, video teasers and interviews, and marketing campaign just before game hits the shelves.I'm sorry, is it me you are referring to when you say people live in a world where they expect things they are not entitled to and we just expect it to be provided to us?
Exactly right it was not personal, it was aimed at a particular nameless group.santi wrote:He was careful to use "we" so pretty much directed to all.

Nope....we still have a long way to go until december or sometime 2014*
Unless they can't, actually. This has been explained at least a couple of million times before - Egosoft aren't allowed (by the terms of their agreement with publisher Deepsilver) to release much information prior to the marketing push before release of the game. Said marketing push will start roughly a month before release.Hornet108 wrote:I am starting to think that some catastrophe occurred at egosoft, or they got close to the end and decided it was a steaming pile and had to start again. That's why they have been extremely light on details - because honestly, there is very little so far to show. I have been tracking this game for years as I have previously stated and as such egosoft SHOULD have been working on it for as long, by now they MUST have something to show - unless they don't.
This game draws on parallels with any game which has had a delayed release for any reason whatsoever, not all of which have been disasters.This game draws an awful lot of parallels with another train wreck I observed many years ago called BREED - it was also full of promise, then full of delays, then full of shit, going down as one of the worst games every made.
