Hmm. I'm going to stick my neck out and say they won't have anything new for X Rebirth then, else it'd probably be named rather than pushed under "some other disclosures".

Well deep silver didn't initialy release TC in America either. They should.

I found this list somewhere.... But I just noticed that Risen 2 is not on there, so not very reliable....

IGN compiled this list, with only Dead Island and Risen 2 on it for DeepSilver. At least all list I can find have one thing in common: no X:R...

@ Naroku

The only persons who truly can understand how resource hungry the X series is those with HUGE empire....

If the game will be optimised for 2-3 y old PCs performance that will mean, you can barely play with after a bounch of traders n bases on your hands... (if you have high end PC that considered these days)

X3 Reunion
I was into mass production of weapons and hyperions since finished HQ mission. Now i have
- 200+ hyperion running the patrol single sector
- Split Raptor and Boron Ray in every house + pirate systems running Kill all enemy
- 100+ traders running the command Commercial Representation
- 100+ traders running the command Buy Best price if some NPC factory go below the price i have set to my own fabs
- 100+ complex to produce all the locals needs
- 100+ M3 fighter to buy n sell suff for my Equipment Docks
- 10+ EQ dock to keep the techs flow between NPC factories and NPC EQ docks n trading stations
- 430+ days gameplay (mostly with SETA ofc) (you may think i have to get a life Beyond The X Universe XĐ)

Dual 3 Ghz + Directx10 1GB VGA 3GB ram. Cooling for maximum efficiency barely can handle it at 1024x768 default performance.

Egosoft seems to usually post something on the front page when they are going to expose a product an some expo.
So them not announcing that they are going to show x rebirth at some big expo like e3 probably means that we wont see anything there about x rebirth this time at e3.

Even tho lots of indie devs and small and even mobile games devs go to E3 you would think by now that the x games would go to E3 but alas they have never gone to E3 and nor never will for some reason. Maybe they dont think its worth it but id beg to differ due the publicity it would create. They keep missing their chance.

The only ones they go to is local german ones.

E3 is a huge event, Egosoft will get a couple of small mentions here and there, but any impact will be non existent due to the amount of products on offer.
After E3, everything is more quiet, so they can get better coverage from the press.

Though I would think that they wouldn't have to worry about jetlag if they use SETA

I seem to remember a link to a timeline, to some of the X back story that had some of the future ' points ' in it; can someone point me in the right direction please? Unless I just imagined it of course...

You know what I'd like ot see in X-Rebirth? ARMOR BELTS!

Seriously, look at what SOTS2 is doing and how it's handling capital ship damage. Bloody brilliant! Something like that in X:R??? Yes please!!

VincentTH · Post by **VincentTH** » Wed, 8. Jun 11, 21:18

The only complaint I have is that X:R will be released about the same time as Starcraft2: HOTS

Tough choice for me, even though I will get both.....

Back on Topic: I believe X:R is still in pre-alpha stage, and that explains why Deepsilver does not showcase the game at E3.

SotS 2 doesn't have hundreds/thousands of ships also being computed in the background. The CPU and RAM usage for that would make such detailed simulation (SotS 2's armor system) a bit difficult to use on modern computers.

Rebirth could have a simpler, less resource-intensive version of armor. Maybe just a ship upgrade that decreases the amount of damage taken from certain weapons that hit the hull, and any equipment on board won't be destroyed until the armor is gone.

i don't think this has been mentioned yet, but i hope we are able to use multiple joysticks/steering wheels to fly with. i hate having a g940 an not being able to use it without the use of a 3rd part program that doesn't work too well or installs on windows 7
