X Rebirth - The wait is almost over! [PRE-ORDER NOW]

[Witchy]

If it makes any of you feel any better... the time it will be available on Steam here in Australia is 5am Friday....

Looks Like I may have to call in sick for work that day.



Still I would like to know why it will not be released as a hard copy release (ie DVD).
It would look nice on my shelf next to all the others.

I remember the good old days of playing games just after midnight as the release date ticked over. Steam may save me going to the shops late at night but in return I have to wait an extra 20hours to play a game I'm excited about.

[Fitzy Of Sydney]

So Steam huh.... going to take a while to download all that content......
Any clue on the download size?

[gato]

I'm going to upgrade my PC just for this.

BTW, any plan for pre-purchase bonus on Steam?

[Alexzay]

November 2012. November 2013. Are you sure?

Umm... I make it 5am Saturday the 16th of Nov.

All great news for the release, not so good for my relationship, though.

Ah well sacrifices must be made -- she'll get over it.

Crap. Should have known that. Not to worry. No beers Friday night. Early rise for the download

[Snowtiger2.0]

So, having bought X2, X3, Terran Conflict and Albion Prelude around launch dates. Someone doing heavy performance modding on the X3 parts, even after upgrading to new high end hardware about a year ago...

how badly is this going to run at launch?

Will it be modable again, to remove all the fog, mini asteroids, screenfilling spam weapons etc?

you'll be able to get a hard copy of the shelf and activate it on steam so don't worry about the download. but in terms of download I think they said the game is only 8GB

Off the shelf it is then. I want it on my shelf.

I'm going to upgrade my PC just for this.

If anything it'll run far better than X3 due to the multicore support. Super smooth graphics incoming.

[Fitzy Of Sydney]

But someone please tell me the Australian release date for off the shelf

[theeclownbroze]

^second that, when can us aussies expect a boxed edition on the shelfs in australia?

[X2-Eliah]

Just dropping by to say that the trailers look amazing (and promising), and I can't wait to play the game . This game might very well give Star Citizen's devs a run for their (donated) money - especially when we compare these trailers with those ship-advertorial "trailers" they made.

[unknown1]

Star Citizen?...What is that?

Never mind, as soon as i get the money, i'll buy a new PC just for Rebirth.

[edmondo]

Hope Linux version does not come long after main release, still will insta-buy it as soon as it is available.

timon37 will port it to linux in about two evenings of hard work, right timon?

awesome trailer!

[Shrewd135]

I told you the release date would be off topic to the release date thread... so.. whalla.. they created a new release date thread...

[ThommoHawk]

Ahhh, as I predicted, the pathetic and infamous 'X Rebirth Release Date Thread' has been consigned to oblivion, and in a blink of an eye is now gone forever, and good riddance to it all, I say.

So Thanks Egosoft People! Looking forward to the game now, as always, and I will be sending my cash to you SoonTM.

@ Fitzy @ co: It will be good to get a confirmation when the Australian off the shelf will be available, which I'm sure will happen, but if Egosoft follows tradition, I will be ordering my hard copy directly from the Egosoft online shop, as usual. (that's how I got my DVD ROMS of TC and AP). So if you mean how to get a retail boxed copy, (and not literally off the shelf), I can recommend it as a reliable way to get your copies.

As long as Egosoft continues making it available from here.

[jannix]

Excellent news! I am sure many long term Egosoft fans including myself have been silently lurking for this. Congrats to the full Ego team!

[Sam Redstone]

Star Citizen?...What is that?

Star Citizen is a force to be reckoned with. Pretending otherwise is silly. (And a few Egosoft devs have pledged a lot of money for it, BTW.)

However, you could be right anyway.

You watch, I'll spend $1,000 on SC and $50 on Rebirth, and then I'll spend 10x as much time playing Rebirth...

I still believe in Egosoft and will always be a loyal fan... they've done a good job of keeping me in space while Chris Roberts was off doing other things.

Thank You !
