So from the bit of googling I did it seems there was no egosoft or reunion at E3?

Tells me all I need to know really...

At least that's the consensus around here.

Seems legit!

It's not like there's another game to replace X:R.

yea well I spoke with the 42 local XUniverse fans here and they all say they couldn't give a *stuff* about when XRebirth is released because they all are REAL fans, and are too busy playing X3 Albion prelude, X3 Terran Conflict, X3 Reunion, X2 The Threat and XBTF / Extension to worry about coming to this topic and wasting their time complaining about something that has nothing to do with their enjoyment of Egosofts great games. The all say that they will buy XRebirth whenever it is released, whether that is today, tomorrow, next week, next month, next year, whenever, and other space games are welcome too. big deal huh?

It was a threat-post, "Release or we won't buy!". But Egosoft shouldn't be worried about the fans, they will buy it anyway.
Still, the next couple of years there's a ton of space sims coming out, so it's the potential fans they should worry about. There are a lot of fans to gain now.
Many are very excited and really looking forward to these games since all these kickstarter projects like Star Citizen, Elite: Dangerous and Limit Theory and what not.
Egosoft should release Rebirth as soon as possible, when people are still psyched about space games.
Releasing close to or after these other games will make a huge difference, Egosoft need more buyers than just the X-fans.

Ah, the 42 valiants.

Egosoft seems to be under a patient management.

I think they would rather get it right and too late than botched and asap.

Beside, i'm selfish, i don't care for their sale numbers. I just want the game to be as close to perfect as possible. If a bunch of customers decide to move on, then so be it. IMO, people who really like the genre will come back for X:R, sooner or later. If they dont, it's their loss, not mine.

So what about this Tri Synergy, which was suppossed to show 'some X:R stuff' at E3...?

Did anything happen, or false alarm once again?

Good question, can't seem to find anything on it.

jiman · Post by **jiman** » Sat, 15. Jun 13, 21:04

This is one of the few games I am looking forward too. It drives me mad thinking about XRebirth being released. HOW MUCH MONEY DO I NEED TO THROW AT YOU TO MAKE IT HAPPEN NOW!

What are your sources?

Here it was said that yes there would be an agent, that no they didnt have a schedule for them and that they had no idea if that one representative would show or not show anything about anything, X:R included.

where are the other races'?

don't tell me they haven't even started to design them?

Well we do know they have worked on the Teladi. As we got a nice Apirls fools joke, "Move your Hipss for Profitsss". Other then our fine scaley friends. Another possable was the Split. Been a while since which Races are in Rebirth thread was last seen.

Uh guys, just go read the recently locked E3 thread.

TL;DR Try Synergy were at E3 but not showcasing anything. They had only just partnered with X Rebirth and had nothing new to show.

More of the same, no info.

Deep Silver moderator can now ask his boss to call his boss and have that guy call Egosoft where they will talk to someone who has to get Bernd who will tell them that the expectation is for a Q4 2013 release.

Meanwhile we get: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxL1uXwSrdU

Do you know what "directly" means?

I guess it would be like "Hello? EgoSoft? Hey, guys, there are few people on forum asking about release date... Yeah... Actually, we'd like to know too... Hm... Ok, so no info yet?.. Alright-alright, I got it... Cya"

Yeah, it means somebody in India will say, "Hello, my name is Klaus, how can I help you today?" ... "Yes." ... "Did you try plugging it in?" ... "Huh? Oh." ... "X Rebirth for PC is expected to be released in 2013. Is there anything else I can help you with today?"

I actually said the opposite to myself the other day. There are a good number, more then i can recall at a given time in the past, of space sims nearing completion.

Have Star Citizen coming out soon(ish)

Theres a few games coming out through Steams Greenlight program, these are more small scale projects but still could be good games.

And of course X Rebirth when ever it may come out probably within a year , 2 if were unlucky.

Also recently a game called Limit Theory has really got my attention their aiming for a Q1 2014 Release.

And there maybe 1 or 2 more im missing, It's just as a personal observation but the space sim genre seems very alive atm.

Errr, that's the thing, though. "Space Sim" says to me that it's a game about simulating spaceship flight, like a flight sim game only with spaceships. It isn't, though. It's pretty much any game that takes place mostly in space! So Elite, Freespace, Independence War, Star Citizen, Freelancer, X-Wing vs TIE Fighter, and the X games all get lumped into one big genre. Only the 4X space games seem to stay out of the catch-all space sim genre. Even EVE seems to be regarded as the Space Sim MMO!

Meanwhile RPGs are divided into action RPGs, turn-based RPGs, strategy RPGs, Japanese RPGs, isometric RPGs, shooter/RPG hybrids, and so on. Why? Because there's FAR more of them, that's why.

Unfortunately, I think that's also some of the reason we keep seeing people saying that this game MUST come out before Star Citizen even starts into beta testing. As far as they are concerned, the two games must be extremely similar because they are both in the same genre.
