X4 Foundations

This is going to be hugely unfinished by 30 November, judging by that video. If they got it right I'd buy a PC again just to pay it (unless the Mac version follows shortly behind) but if the game is capable of it I think it'll be some way into 2019, not 30 November 2018.
 
depends when that footage was actually taken, i suppose.
lost track of the X series, i was 80 hours in on X2 then did a Win reinstall and lost my saves :-D never did get back into it.
 
It won't be VR unfortunately.

it's going to be disappointing sitting on the side line. Though not everybody's cup of tea, Rebirth is outstanding in VR, and has my favourite usage of the motion controllers. After knocking up 200+ hrs in it, there's no way back to playing on a letterboxed screen, or with a Hotas control for that matter.

They say it requires a ton of work to optimize for VR, so it might come down the line. That's not so bad when you consider the X series and the trillion fixes that are always needed.
 
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.
 
Really liking the look of X4 so far seems to solve most of the problems i had with the previous games, things like building stations which was always a bit of a pain tbh in X3 looks much better i always think rebirth was a misstep, trying to pander to consoles is always a mistake should always be PC first then dumb it down for consoles later :) .

I always enjoyed playing the X series often very relaxing and peaceful so found myself hundreds of hours in most of the games now thinking i should install one of the X games and play for a while :).
 
It does look promising tho being an X game it goes with out saying it's going to be bug riddled on release day because that's the Egosoft way, & every x game fan knows that, me included. :p

I've been thinking the same thing.

You could leave bits of your empire doing its own thing and just go for a fly. Some sectors and the soundtrack would just chill the hell out of me.
 
Bit pricey.. definitely waiting for reviews

Recommended specs seem pretty high! Can't wait to give this a blast. I've always wanted to get into 4X space stuff. Tried EVE for a while but i just couldnt give it the dedication it needed.
 
Can't see how this can fail to be honest. I know people have their reservations on account of rebirth which I never played, but this looks like a massively improved version of X3. Yeah, no doubt it'll be a bug-ridden mess on release but that's traditional Egosoft I'm afraid.

If you can stand of the bridge of a capital ship in first person looking at a huge fleet battle, well, that will be cool af.

To be fair it was cool enough when you were stood on the landing platform of a battleship in rebirth. It just took a lot of tedium and frustration to get to that stage.
 
Hopefully this is good for Egosofts sake after how the release of X-Rebirth went. Will keep an eye on it and play any betas that may or may not popup and decided nearer the time if I will pick it up. Will keep my fingers crossed for modding abilty closer to X3 and not X-R so I can jump on that again.
