Future 'X' games.

Post by Oldman »

Perhaps 'delicate' or controversial questions but....

Question 1.
Will the/any future x games (not counting X2) be based around the present universe that we see in XBTF and Xtension?
Or has any thought's been 'thrown about' as to changing the current set up in favour of a more expansive universe?
Or would the integration of the present sectors into an expansive universe (aka Elite type) be unworkable?

Question 2.
Will there maybe be 'other' games coming out in the future from Egosoft that are not space simulation based....example, platform games or rpg. etc.

Sorry if this has been mentioned before on the board but I can't see any direct questions or answers concerning these topics at the moment .....but I've probably missed something :roll: :)

Possibly these questions all depend on the success of X2, personally i would be very dissapointed if the dev of the single player game was to be wound up 8) Could Ego make XOL a reality and still make the single player series of games ? not without increasing the size of the team i suspect! Giesajob ?

I have had this problem since i played the XBTF demo,could they have a subliminal message in the coding not allowing us to enjoy other developers games ? or are other games just paying lip service to game players ? whatever i have a pile of new games here which are gathering dust they just leave me unexcited. think i will get a coupla DVDs to pass the day 8)

I've noticed this. I've been completely unable to play any other space-based game since X-BTF's release. Tried numerous others over the years but just get frustrated, start saying things like "but I can do this in X, why not here?", "Where's my Strafe Drive", "these graphics are 3 years newer but still nowhere near as good as X" then I turn off uninstall and put X back on.
Same thing happened with my RPG games. Loved them all till I got the BlackIsleStudio games (BauldersGates's, IceWindDales's, Neverwinter) and now all the rest pale in comparison, so I don't play any others now.
Also Activision do all the best RTS games (DarkReign 1+2)(Armada 1+2)
And Eidos do very good adventure/shooty/strategy, eg.(Thief 1+2)(TombRaiders's)

I'm sure it's just that we find a particular game/series that best suits us and we stick with it. Then we get so used to it that when we try something of a similar type by different designers/publishers it just seems odd, so we pick out the flaws more readily.
