Nice video, gives you a good look at the menu navigation, particularly the mouse selection bar at the bottom, and if i'm not mistaken the velocity of the weapons fire has been increased. Graphics look fantastic. All in all really makes me wish i'd learnt something in my four years of german at school

[GaddyG]

Looking Veeeerrry pretty,
interesting to see the old M3 cockpit still in use...
is that a place holder or are they staying the same?
the radar looks to be interesting too...
couple of names put to ships unless they're just placeholders too...
looking forward to the eventual release!!
think alot more info could be gleaned if i could speak german...
any kinda folks fancy typing a translation?
im sure it'd be highly appreciated by us non-german speakers...

I looked over in german forum and BurnIt posted a article for x3 thats linked to where u get the vid from but as its in german i didnt know what it said so i used bablefish to translate so here's what it says sorta.

German version=

X3: Reunion

Bild 23

X3: Reunion machte auf uns einen extrem fortgeschrittenen Eindruck. Fast sämtliche Schiffe und Raumstationen wurden überarbeitet und besitzen, aktuelle Grafikkarten vorausgesetzt, moderne Schader- und Texturtechnologien wie Normal- und Specular-mapping. Die Schiffe und Stationen wurden kräftig erweitert. So gibt es große Industriekomplexe und Gärten, die mehrere Kilometer lang sein können. Viele kleine Gimmicks wurden ebenfalls eingefügt. So bewegen sich beispielsweise die Wolken auf einem Planeten mit einer anderen Geschwindigkeit, als es bei dem Planeten selber der Fall ist. Das HUD wird bis zum Release noch überarbeitet und soll wesentlich intuitiver gestaltet werden. Gerade Fans, die extrem tief in die Welt von X3 eintauchen wollen, dürfte es freuen, dass Egosoft die gesamte Welt überarbeitet und wesentlich individueller gestaltet hat. Das zeigt sich beispielsweise auch darin, dass Sektoren stellenweise enorme Größenunterschiede aufweisen.

Fazit: Grafisch und spielerisch macht der 3. Ableger einen weiten Sprung nach vorne und es hat sich definitiv gelohnt, das Addon zu Gunsten eines Vollpreisnachfolgers aufzugeben.

English translation sorta=

X3: Reunion Fig. 23 X3: Reunion made an impression progressed extremely on us. Nearly all ships and space stations were revised and presupposed to possess, current diagram maps, modern harming he and texture technologies such as normal and Specular mapping. The ships and stations were strongly extended. Thus there are large industrial complexes and gardens, which can be long several kilometers. Many small Gimmicks were inserted likewise. Thus for example the clouds on a planet with another speed move, than it is with the planet the case. The HUD is still revised up to release and is to be arranged substantially more intuitive. It might make straight fans happy, that want to dive extremely deeply into the world from X3, the fact that Egosoft the entire world revised and arranged substantially more individual. That shows up for example also in the fact that sectors exhibit enormous size differences in parts. Result: Graphic and spielerisch makes the 3. Folder a far jump forward and it was worthwhile itself definitely to give the Addon up to favour of a full price successor.

VERY Nice show of combat! I can not wait to go head-to-head with the Xenon scum! Nice to see all the names are the same (as of yet) and I am really liking the weapon fire! Also liking the new menu system, tho I wish they showed it in action more. Interesting Weapon Componet Factory! Can't wait to see more stations!

I only wish I knew german, Brend kept talking about Teledi stuff when it showed the Teledi station and I really really wanted to know what he was saying.

Keep it up Egosoft! And good luck to the beta testers!

I know one game that's getting my $50 this fall.

Alot of nice things but alot of worries as well.

The cockpits are same as x2 which is worrying and i hope its changed to x3 cockpits and hope there individual and not based on class.

What was that at the beginign when the ship seemed to have in the center of the screen a big flame of somit and didnt matter which way the camera (ship) moved it stayed exactly same, dunno if it was chasing somit as i could see ship turning alot but the flame just stayed exactly same which was weird

The ships when in cockpit view seem to be same as x2 like once u let go of the direction ur moving it stops still which i didnt like in x2, and would like x-btw style where once u left go of a direction it slowed the turning down untill u got into that direction say 3 seconds delay i recon is fair enough

The weapon fire is amazing and cant wait to try them out.

The boron ship didnt look as impressive as the screenshots do i thought

I wish Bernd or whoever it was who was speaking can edit that recording and dub over in english what he was saying, would make me happy as he seemed to be going on alot about the game which i really wanted to understand what was being said.

If thats a xenon fighter (after cockpit view battle at beginign) it looks mint and cant wait to fly that its just so cool looking.

Even though im a bit worried about some parts it does look alot more alive as there lots of ships and looks very active place.

Good vid

Enjoyed the vid

[D_Zorro]

I looked at the vid, and even though i don't really understand a word they say it looks amazing. Anyway from what i seen, you can actually switch from keyboard commands and mouse commands in game and use a joystick to fly the ships and use mouse pointer to navigate the menu system, really handy though.

Is it me or does the fighting actually look more active in X3 now. Even the lasers move fast now, meaning they will actually hit a target now.

At the end of the combat seen where they fight i actually see fire comming from the ship in front of you who was hit by you meaning that there is more detail to damage too now.

Thus there are large industrial complexes and gardens, which can be long several kilometers.

X3 has kilometer long industrial gardens? Excellent!
