OK I suppose, but it's a pity the sun didn't shine on some of the graphics so we could see something other than lights on a wall.

Anyone notice how poorly the ship was moving, it was like to me just moved forward and turned left and right a few times and the movement wasnt fluid at all. Sorta fake movement looking.

After so many request, we now have the soundtrack on our website as well - you can find it on the same page as the trailer.

The ship movement looked just like it does in x2 at the moment to be honest.
Anyway Im not letting myself get sucked into reading as much as I can out of one video

Im going to sit and wait to play for myself, looking good!

Well, there's a little too much focus on the graphics, I think(yah, it sells). However, the scale of the objects looks really good, few space games ever got that right, and the soundtrack was nice.

I wonder if the music man is up for an interview.

Great trailer!

PS :- i remember saying to all those people who said "the ships are too shiny..." i remember saying "wait till we see moving pictures as you cant judge graphics and ships on a still screenshot.."

as usual.. i was soooo right...

PPS :- the 1024x768 version REALY looks awesome.. the smaller ones dont realy do it justice...

It will probably play fine i recon on a system that plays x2 ok. I cant afford new stuff for ages so ill have to make do when it comes out.

I also noticed in the trailer/clip that compared the size of them new looking asteroids to the station the station totally dwarfs them asteroids. Im thinking the stations are about 100x bigger than what they were in x2. By comparing the size of station to the size of them asteroids. Which in x2 where about the size of a station in x2. So unless the perspective is fixed and this is what they are really sclaed like. Or if the asteroids were scaled down to make the stations look bigger i dont know. But i tell ya i am dying to find out

I still say it's too shiny

TerrorTrooper · Post by **TerrorTrooper** » Mon, 27. Jun 05, 02:52

also.. that first station is clearly teladi.. not argon as many seem to think..

Skeeter · Post by **Skeeter** » Mon, 27. Jun 05, 02:57

Too shiney? It's not really that shiney in that trailer compared to the overblown shinyness u get on the screenshots, movement makes a big difference. Though i would have prefered to better lighting so the ship is half covered in darkness like some sort of shadowing on the side where there is not light source, like the station apeared to have been done good like that.

Hmm taladi you say for the first station? I wish all races were colour co-ordinated lol green for taladi, red for split, grey for argon, blue for boron, paranid a orange perhaps, xenon black and red perhaps, khaak a sort of dark colour, i hate the purple.

EDIT -- Forget what i said about the ships needing better lighting i just watched it again and ships do have some dark patches where light doesnt seem to be able to get to.

Looks Awesome

, sound track is very good aswell may I ask who prepared the movie?

Greyhawk1 · Post by **Greyhawk1** » Mon, 27. Jun 05, 03:48

Downloaded highest poss quality movie (200 plus mb). Wow...just wow. There is one scene in there that literally looks *just* like it is in orbit. Almost like genuine space shuttle footage...

You have the look of space almost right though there are too many stars visible but who cares, that movie just looked completely amazing.

I hope you release tools to help people make machinima with that engine. It screams out for it. How BIG is that split station at the end?? It just kept on growing as the camera panned up! Absolutely bloody well top!

I'm guessing that if you can make stations that awesomely large it stands to reason the capships will look equally large

.

Perfect music from Mr Zakharov too. Man if only this could have been at E3

Well, in one way it's a good job this wasn't at E3, if it was they could have probably just called the convention X3, show this on a big screen all day and be done with it.

Then what would the poor little developers like M$ and EA do?

Azzkicka · Post by **Azzkicka** » Mon, 27. Jun 05, 04:10

This movie was just awesome!! The graphics were unbelievable and I love the red station situated in the asteroid field next too the planet. Finally it looks like we are going to have real asteroid fields.

The music was great too it reminded me of when you encoutered a Xenon in X-tension and that X combat music started playing.

Seeing this movie makes me think the game is farther along then I thought it was too. Maybe we will actually see a 2005-early/mid year 2006 release.

I think I’ll have to buy a new computer for this one though so i can experience X3 in all of its glory

You might need to update your DivX codecs, the safest way is to download their DivX Player and just play the movie in that.

Daaaaamn that's pretty...
*crosses fingers and hopes the colours on the panels seen on the ship can be changed*
it'd be nice to have your red and blue squadrons
(which will actually be useful this time!)
could be red and blue coloured...

Fantastic trailer and the music made all those little hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I'm looking forward to the finished product big time.
