Rebirth release date

VincentTH · Post by **VincentTH** » Mon, 26. Nov 12, 21:39

Looking forward to the X-News. 2013 release date is fine with me, because all 3 games that I pledged are released in 2014. Playing X3TC DiD now to kill time (Now that I know how to avoid the dreadful Steam-eating-my-DiD-save-game problem).

Awesome, thanks CBJ. I prefer a good game, but late, over an early game full of bugs. So I'm fine waiting for it.

As many of you have guessed already, we're not now going to hit our previously-stated target of releasing in 2012. There are various reasons for this, but it's just an accumulation of additional work (something quite common in game development especially when a whole new engine is involved) not some major problem that we've run into.

What I don't have for you at this stage is an exact release date; all I can say for now is that it will be 2013. And before people start speculating about why that's still relatively vague, it's just that we're not ready to be more precise yet. I can reassure you, once again, that we're all still working hard on the game with the aim of getting it out there as soon as we possibly can.

Inspiration CBJ , I would say you covered it. I would of thought that Game Dev would like to let fans have the best game play. So time on getting it right is a great importance in playing X-Rebirth. So fans just be patient the best is yet to come.

It must be close, you have been around a lot lately; which is very appreciated by the way!

I've seen really bad releases, with IL2 Clod, and a bad release, even with a new engine, is by far the worst thing you could ever do. Come 2013 if you guys put out quality work, nobody will remember these long release date threads...

He has stated release will be in 2013. That means that all foreseeable work required to finish the game will be completed by sometime in 2013. I.e. no chance that it would take until 2014.

Unforeseen delays are exactly that. They can't be figured in a release date, for obvious reasons. Is there a chance that unforeseen delays could cause the release date to be extended to 2014? Yes, but it sounds to me like CBJ is confident of release in 2013 even if there are a few snags which crop up.

March - that is all.

We're preparing an X-News now which includes this, but it's going to take a little time to get the rest of the content for that ready and translated, so I thought I'd make a quick post here in advance of that.

Here we go again.

Looks like ES ground-solid philosophy of "it's finished when it's finished" has not changed (yet). I'm glad to hear that

Thanks for letting us know, I'm not bothered about the release being in 2013 either. Makes more sense tbh after the KS campaigns of 'other titles' to blow over by which time you'll have a product ready that hopefully the same auidence will also appreciate.

Since the beginning of 2012 I've only been interested in two games, X-Rebirth and Rome II and now they are both due out in 2013, what's the betting they both come out in the very same week

I've bee waiting for Rebirth and Grand Theft Auto 5. Not too unhappy though, both games are well done, polished games that are able to be played for years. If it takes a few more months to finish them, fine by me.

I think X Rebirth is running on Valve Time.

Those are the same two i'm waiting for. Both games should be mind blowing.

Guessing you never played Half-Life 2 when it first came out? It was at Frontier: First Encounters levels of bugginess--I literally couldn't play it for longer than 10 minutes in the city section at the end without it crashing. Main reason Valve is producing quality stuff these days is because they've had 8 years to iron out the bugs in the Source engine and Steam.
