Succellus Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 all this nuke talk is nice, but to be eficient agaisnt an agile fighter it remains to be seen if it does something else than pure EMP wave damage, which by the way will have the same effect for anyone around which i don t know if its usefull pos engagement (furball) unless you got reserve and don t care for your troops, which can serioulsy affect morale, unless they are brainwashed or cloned whith zombie mindset. Also, if we get energy shield into account (realisticly or not) it seem a poor solution, unless its a mere vulgar display of power designed to fatigue the shield generators of larger ships and would be an even poorest solution if a C-RAM or PHALANX like defensive device are present on the defensive side. So for sake matters lets the damn reality fluctuate away a little and try to find fun solution for space combat. Any actuall reality of today os probably a failure in the far future, and isn t the point anyway.

leafer Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Oooh this looks so much better than the RSI one. I like! ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy10uk Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Oooh this looks so much better than the RSI one. I like! Can you really compare the two, one is based around a multiplayer persistent universe and the other is a single player universe. Both look stunning, and IF Xrebirth ever turns up, I will certainly be picking it up. Will pass the time waiting for the RSI one perfectly. :) Cowboy10uk [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Fighter pilots make movies, Attack pilots make history, Helicopter pilots make heros. :pilotfly: Corsair 570x Crystal Case, Intel 8700K O/clocked to 4.8ghz, 32GB Vengeance RGB Pro DDR4 3200 MHZ Ram, 2 x 1TB M2 drives, 2 x 4TB Hard Drives, Nvidia EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW, Maximus x Hero MB, H150i Cooler, 6 x Corsair LL120 RGB Fans And a bloody awful Pilot :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleEye Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Don`t know if the Rebirth concept wasn`t to ambitious and if they can really make it happen. Just a few people on such a huge station looks lifeless. Also dont know what sense it will make that you can crawl through the chambers...

BHawthorne Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 All that sandbox development for a single player experience. I'd like to interact in that universe with others. Sort of kills it for me but I'll buy it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Druid_ Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 You'd think that after all of these years of development they would have come up with a Multiplayer or at the very least a Co-op game. Looks good though, I'll probably get it. i7-7700K : 16Gb DDR4 2800 Mhz : Asus Mobo : 2TB HDD : Intel 520 SSD 240gb : RTX 2080ti: Win10 64pro : Dx10 : TrackiR4 : TM Warthog : ASUS ROG SWIFT PG348Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
element1108 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 I actually don't care about a mp version of this game. Always had some fun on the single player side. Lad they've evolved it a lot since the last one. Might check it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aginor Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I preordered it a few days ago. I've been a fan of the series since the very first X-BTF and played all games and their addons except Albion prelude. I also read all the books and I'm looking forward to the game. But if you know the old games: Don't be disappointed, since it is vastly different to the old games in many points. There is a certain chance that you will not like the gameplay because of that.

VanjaB Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I actually dislike the old games because the universe seemed very bland and uninteresting. Also the combat and flight handling was very boring and quite crap. Ive seen videos of this and the combat looks much closer to classic Xwing, or Freespace combat, and you dont need a PhD in economics to get into the trading business anymore...

Aginor Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Well, as the games were all based on their predecessors they kinda stacked one feature on the other and built a gigantic Jenga tower that made them both complex and unstable. People that grew with it understood it, all others had massive problems with it. So Egosoft completely re-wrote the UI and economy system from scratch. I agree that the combat was not so much fun, and the game was a bit boring sometimes. They made it more fast-paced now I think.

k0braka1 Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 Yea I noticed this on steam the other day and after having looked into think it could be really good. Only issue I have is that in some of the videos something seems off about the cockpit views, cant quite put my finger on it. Definitely keeping an eye on it but I think I may hold out for some reviews first Intel i5-4670k @ 4.4 ghz | Corsair H100i | Gainward GTX 760 Phantom (overdue an upgrade) | Asus Maximus VI Gene MBoard | 8gb Corsair Vengeance | 3 x Sandisk/Crucial SSD's | Corsair AX760 PSU | Saitek X45 (ftw!)

Aginor Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I think the cockpit looks off because it doesn't move or shake or whatever (at least that's how it looks in the videos I've seen). But I will have to see it ingame to tell ho.w it really feels. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aginor Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 (edited) I agree, it certainly looks nice. I'm more concerned about how practical it is. EDIT: I just got an email from amazon and they say I'll get the game on November 26th. WTF?? Ten days after it will be available in my local games store? I think I'll cancel that pre-order.... Or maybe not because I don't have that much time to play games anyway....

leafer Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I actually prefer the art direction they went in Rebirth over RSI crazy looking ships. Give us a little review when you have it, Aginor.

BHawthorne Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 It should prove ot be a fun sandbox game. Main issue I take with it is that there is no multi-player option. I picked it up 25% off GMG coupon and they sent out the keys yesterday so I'm preloaded on Steam now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aginor Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 @leafer: Will do! As for the multiplayer: I never missed it in the earlier games. I never played a space game in multiplayer (SC will be my first one, and I might discover I don't like it and play that one singleplayer as well) and the cool thing in the X series is to have your own huge company with your own stations, a fleet of haulers and miners and military ships etc. You just can't do that in multiplayer games. Singleplayer sandbox allows that freedom. Basically you can be the uber-hero in that universe. In a multiplayer game that's nearly impossible. I'm still angry about Bethesda because they killed my favourite offline RPG series where I could be THE hero, by making a crappy MMO out of it. Perhaps I would like to have co-op gameplay in the X series. Maybe. But not more. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleEye Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I will wait for the first user reports before buying it. From what I´ve seen so far I like the changes they have made.

Aginor Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I'm pretty sure there will be lots of "let's play"s and reviews once the game is released, with many different opinions about it. I guess you will be able to make your decision that way. And if you have questions I will also answer them if I can, so feel free to ask. I canceled my amazon order today, will get the steam code so I can play at the weekend. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bethesda never killed the Elder Scrolls series, they are PUBLISHING an MMO in the series that is developed by another studio. I agree its a bad move but I guess they bought into the whole MMO craze as much as everyone else has. They will still be developing single player TES games INHOUSE in the future. Dont worry about it, they wouldnt kill their cash cow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aginor Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I really hope you are right. But I think it would be the first time that a franchise went MMO and came back with offline stuff after that. Until now I haven't heard of any plans by Bethesda to do another TES game. Blizzard did Warcraft, but then came WoW Bioware did KotOR, but then came SWTOR (ok, actually only two examples from the top of my head) Ok, maybe I am too negative about it. One can still have hope I guess. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanjaB Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 Dont worry about it too much. Skyrim was in the Steam top 10 for more weeks than any other game on Steam. Ever. Bethesda is well aware of how popular their TES single player series is. (Development on the MMO was started before Skyrim was even released) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
