OK now im a bit mad, i tryed downloading the very small divx version that didnt play in divx player or wmp or realplayer or videolan player. I then downloaded the wmp version the 1024x768 version 150meg, and the exact same problem.

I think theres serious codec problems when egosoft was encoding this video of x3 as nothing i have will play it and i have divx6 installed and wmp 10. and almost all best codecs so all i can think is that it was badly encoded as thats what the error messages are more or less saying. Pleas either upload a more compatible version or tell me the exact codec that was used so i can try getting it incase it is a codec problem on my end.

In windows media player 10 this is the error i get

Error ID = 0xC00D1199, Condition ID = 0x00000000

Anime is a graphical animation style, not a musical genre. If you think anime only comes with a particular kind of soundtrack, you need to watch more anime - or at least, more good anime

Oh my..

What is there to say? Without doubt, this is why I'm a fanboy.
The music is AMAZING. So chilled and atmospheric. Never ever heard game music like this... [/i]

I have donloaded the big divx one. It runs smoothly on my PC except a small glitch right after the first argon ship fires. Also, I do not experience this big de-synchronization after the first battle that others have mentioned...

It may have corrupted downloads or not but i tryed again with IE instead of FF and when i was at click here to download i clicked on the button with right button and did save target as and i got the divx 35meg version and it works. My computers being on for about 38 hours so i thought it was unstable at downloading so i turned it off and let it cooled then reconected and thats when i got the download that worked so it could have been my ocmputer.

Although when i finally did get it it was the exact same trailer as the one silent witness topic had in which made me angry as some ppl here said that it had a few fixed things like the missile bug on the boron ship but its still there, and theres nothing new.

I wish you could have said it was just an oppertunity to get a high res version of the same trailer as silent witness's trailer he posted it would have saved me alot of trouble.

downloaded the big one too.. looks verry nice... like the music.. like the new sounds.... but what i don't like is the engine flames... tehy look kind of weird when the ship turns sudently.... the flame doesn't move with the ship... it moves like it is part of the ship in a weird way... ceck out the engines form 1:06 to 1:12... they look to static.. and the ship explosion still looks interesting.. with the ship disapearing befor the boom.... only it is faster then in the last movie... defenitly like the space explozion... altho i might have somthing to coment on that.. since i know this video is outdated... looking fowerd for a new one..

The engines i think are placeholders or are old and have been redone, one of the egosoft team here said.

Good video, the music was not as good as the last video.

I doubt it. X2 had some great music for the main menu, but in-game it was more ambient not-awe-inspriing music.

Skeeter · Post by **Skeeter** » Thu, 25. Aug 05, 02:48

I would so prefer this new trailers music in x3 than previous music, i think its time for a change with it being a new game and all.

Xaffax · Post by **Xaffax** » Thu, 25. Aug 05, 03:05

I think it looks amazing.

Themusic is ok but I like the theme of X-beyond the better (the one behind the cutscenes you got when you loaded the game but didn't start it). It really felt like some echo of the universe.

The style of the ships in X2 wasn't quite my thing .Atough the boron dolhpin blew me away and the split M1 is stil on my whishlist. There was too much manga in it for me.

The X3 ships seem to have a somewhat harscher realistic style. I like it.

Why entire station is set on fire after second missile hits lower part of station? Wouldn't it make more sense only that part explodes and possibly starts breaking up:) I think it would look better too

Other then that very nice

And I like music, very nice work

Well I have already seen the trailer before. Although it was tiny. This looks much better though. The Teladi ships look elegant and fight gracefully.

D_Zorro · Post by **D_Zorro** » Thu, 25. Aug 05, 14:02

Man i can't get enough of watching this video. There was this strange ship looking at the way it was made i'd say it is of boron origin, there seem to be fire coming out of it's exaust fumes, is that really damage particles or is that some new kind of afterburner ???

And the threat destroyer or carrier or what it was, looks kind of scary even there lasers seems to fire much faster then in X2,

That mean that they are possibly even more dangerous then before.

And the lasers from other races ships seem to fire faster, but will it be fast enough to really hit a target too ????

I know these are lot's of questions, but after playing X2 these will be really importand questions too know.

I just notice a little something, underneath the carrier i saw a bigger landing bay. does this mean, that you can actually launch multiple fighters at once too now ???

DZorro,

OH MY... OH MY GAWD!!!

I just can't express how much I am blown away by the video!!!
It's just unbelievable!!!

The gameplay alone is going to be something many space-sim gamers would cream about! I could imagine this designed as a Multi-Player and some of the battles that would be fought!!

Imagine indeed.

I really can't wait till this gets released!!!

/me runs back to X2

Nice. Shame the DivX 5 hi res one is bugged. My WMP just flat out stops just as the ship fires. I just fast forward past the glitch and rest works.

Pity about the dumb nebulas but at least they dont look as stupid as before. All these scenes look to me like they are from a rolling demo rather than in-game.

@Greyhawk1

Yea perhaps its their benchmark, like they had in X2 ?

On another note, i saw gamershell.com says its going be in the stores on 30september. Only 1 month left

I think that the boron ship in the video is Boron Manta but i dont think that is a TP Class Ship how was in X2.Design of the ship is amazing
