X4 Foundations

SkeeterUK · 29 Aug 2017 at 23:50

At xcon the 26th august, egosoft showed through their stream on twitch their new game x4 Foundations.

Seems a step up from x rebirth with new map with a lot of functionality where u can control ur empire from, give commands from, and more. Fly any ship now.

Etc..

There forums have been updated too and there's been a few videos some may have missed on their YouTube account. Also there's been about 10+ screenshots of the day been posted in a sticky on their forums which has some nice shots of ships.

Footage is months old maybe more so should look more polished by release.

No vr is planned for release, might change a few years down the line after the major dlc releases has come out.

Just a shame there won't be a main plot like there was in xbtf or X2 or X3 it's just Gona have multiple game starts with missions based on choice of start you pick. Tho not sure how long the little plots go on for or how many story based missions there will be. Knowing my luck not enough as I only fancy playing story content in the X games. Done all the trading and station building I can be bothered with back in X2.

It's been confirmed that there will be a common player story which leads to your own base and opens up research.

Did you play Rebirth? That is the most plot-based version of the X games, and it is not a bad game any more.

There is a common plot of sorts confirmed yes but a minor one and won't last very long from what's been said. I'm guessing no more than about 5 missions for it max.

Yes I have rebirth but only played up to a escort mission where u help some ships but get ambushed by a fleet shortly after u build Ur first station mission. Didn't like the game and plot was rubbish up to that point.

Now available to get on gog too.

I know it's a bit old but a i5 3570k is still decent ain't it for x4? I did oc to 4.5ghz but the aio water cooler started to leak so I got a big hsf instead so not sure if I can oc it as much now. I probs can get it to 4ghz at least.

Wish i could get aa working without a big performance hit on certain fps heavy stations. What settings do you use?

SkeeterUK · 23 Aug 2019 at 01:20

Yes i think they added more joystick and hotas support in one of the later rebirth patches also x4 i think has support for hotas.

Subs kinda work on it.

SkeeterUK · 13 Sep 2019 at 18:10

Well hopefully a good 3.0 and split dlc tho were probably getting a beta versions of em knowing ego.

SkeeterUK · 14 Sep 2019 at 19:03

Apparently if you give it time the 2.60 patch removes some of the station building spam and maybe other spam that was caused by something in 2.50 i think they said. Test a new game to see if better fps if a save isnt showing it straight off. There saying.

2.60 beta 3 out today.

We're happy to announce the release of the update 2.60 for X4: Foundations. The main changes and fixes include:

• significantly improved in-game economy
• better navigation, both for the player guidance system and for AI ships
• updated Logical Station Overview and Station Info menu
• added Russian voice recordings
• a whole host of smaller fixes and improvements

You can find the full change log here. We would like to thank you for your valuable and helpful feedback during the beta testing phase of this update.

We also need to inform you that the previously announced expansion X4: Split Vendetta and the associated big 3.0 update for X4: Foundations won’t, unfortunately, hit their original targeted release timeframe of Q4 2019. We're now targeting a new release date within the first quarter of 2020 for both the X4: Split Vendetta expansion and the 3.0 update. Once we get a little closer, we will be able to announce a more specific date.

We're very sorry about this delay and would particularly like to apologise to all owners of the X4: Foundations Collector's Edition, which includes the two future expansions. During the development of the X4: Split Vendetta expansion and the 3.0 update, a number of things have emerged that we really want to see implemented, optimised and fixed in time for the next big step forward for X4: Foundations in order to meet our own expectations as well as yours. We simply need a bit more time to do so.

In order to give you some more insight into the current development of our game, we will shortly be announcing a date for an AMA on Reddit with Bernd Lehahn, Managing Director of EGOSOFT, where you can ask your questions about the X series and specifically about X4: Split Vendetta and the 3.0 update. We're also planning to do another live stream on our Twitch channel (https://www.twitch.tv/egosoftofficial) with Bernd and other team members where we'll be showing off 2.60 and will answer more of your questions.

Watch this space for announcements of specific dates for both the upcoming AMA as well as the live stream.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.
