Yes well amazon did they said


Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.

Having investigated this matter unfortunately I am unable to provide you with a release date for this item as no release date has been set. The only recommendation I can make is that you keep checking the site from time to time to see a date for release.

That actually looks like a fake...

On brand shouldnt it say Egosoft or Deepsilver instead of Koch Media ?

Deep Silver
Official logo for the Deep Silver label.

Deep Silver is Koch Media's video game label. Founded in 2002, it has published and co-published some major titles.[4] Deep Silver has released more than two hundred games since 2003.[3]

From Wikipedia


So technically Koch Media is accurate, since it's the parent company of Deep Silver. As for the game being released 6th July... is that 2013?

Egosoft has actually completed the game already. The issue that they are working on at the moment are the problems they have found in the previous games, like X3 Reunion and X3 Terran Conflict.

I don't exactly know about the tech stuff, but I was told that they were making the game with a completely new model for the space effects and ships etc, where in the past they apparently used the same model for the latest 2 games.

I am only going by what I have been told from a friend who does some testing for them, so if there is testing been done by people, then the game has been made, they are just ensuring as little issues as possible.

They got pushed to get X3 Reunion out by the due date when they didn't feel it was ready and they are avoiding that now, which is why it is TBA. What I was told is that they are trying very hard to have it released to most countries by November 2012, but some countries may have it as early as August or September.

I just hope they make a quick breakthrough through the errors and glitches and it gets released tomorrow, lol.

^ if that is correct then i would say rather later than sooner as i am happier with a game as bugfree as possible rather than having to rage about a game with problems etc.. you obviously have info others don't so lucky you. lol

get it right egosoft, thats what i say...

[bof111]

I am only going by what I have been told from a friend who does some testing for them,

Hem, this guy didn't signed an NDA should we presume, as he tells things around...

The issue that they are working on at the moment are the problems they have found in the previous games, like X3 Reunion and X3 Terran Conflict.

Even if it was stated already that X:R will be made from scratch... Well, well...

Lets wait the Gamescom.

I think that Egosoft is a veiled reminder that we have to replace the computer, because the GTX660 has not yet released, I think when most of us replace our graphics, we will see the exact time of release.

[windscar232]

I have found a pattern to the time a new game goes live, and will be able to more accurately predict when the launch is going to be more and more accurately the closer it comes to launch. It is simple really, it will come out around the time or just before I finish the player HQ quest. Sorry guys I have been putting it off for some time, so it could end up being towards the end of the year.

Surprised this thread is still going.

Mighty Ape has a pre-order page for X-Rebirth due out 6th July.

The topic should be renamed to "Pranks of retailers"

[ConCorDian]

let me put it this way, if EGOSOFT had set a release date, the 2 places youd find it first is here on the forums (probably the online shop) and the other being Steam since its looking like the primary retail medium. so why all these others have release dates published i have no idea.

wait till GamesCon and see what we get out of that

HaHa, a release date : VGChart

[Jerald]

The question I have, if there is an official Release date anywhere, will we 100% be the first to hear about it here?

And if you say yes, has that been the case with prior releases?

[ConCorDian]

we will get an announcement on the forums letting us know... my belief is we will get a better idea if not exact date at Gamescon, and if memory serves me right the last time something like that happened it was released at the convension and then posted up here that same night.

HaHa, a release date : VGChart

Ah! Great! In time for the turn of the (19th) century!

There is a guy named Julius Verne. I think we should send him an email about the game. I think he WILL find it entertaining.

Also there is a little 6 years old kid called Hermann Oberth a guy called Tsiolkovsky and a young American called Robert H. Goddard, which will ABSOLUTELY LOVE it. Maybe we should even petition to get them the game!
