X4 Foundations

Less than a week now.

I am a big fan of X universe, own all Egosoft X games, spend most of the time in Terran Conflict and Albion Prelude. Normally I don't preorder (can wait, still have many games in the queue), but this company supports own product for so long, gave me so many unforgettable memories, that I wanted to support them too.
(Side note: the only other company I would preorder is Taleworlds)

So overclocked my PC, bought new Vega56 (big thanks to Overclockers) - I am ready. Hopefully game is too ...
 
If there's one thing you can count on it's X4 will come with a honking great side order of bugs, it wouldn't be an Egosoft game other wise, & it won't put me off in the slightest. :p
 
Have only just heard about this game and saw that with the collectors edition you get a special pre-order paint mod.
If this is just a single player game what's the point of a pimped out paint job if you can't show it off. :p
Or is there planned multiplayer?
 
Hope the game has good mod support and they don't try to lock it all down for the sake of DLC.

moods were what made x3 so good
 
Watched ObsidianAnts stream of this yesterday and it looks as good as I hoped, definitely back to the old X game format but with Rebirth graphics etc. ObsidianAnt himself was extremely impressed and was describing it as 'another level' in places. In 4 hours he had one instance where the autopilot nearly crashed and another when he were landing he clipped slightly but other than that no bugs and performance was very good etc.

Obviously that is mega early days and there may be bugs etc later on but for now it looks VERY promising!
 
You mean this stream?…


From what I've seen so far, just up to a quarter of the way through the stream, it certainly looks promising enough for me to keep watching…

If you would like to show your support, then donating is a great way to do so.
Donations will go towards a variety of things. First of all, my cost of living - simple needs such as food and water. As a secondary use, they will go towards paying for my transition, upgrading the stream, more games for me to share with you here and other projects that come up in the future!

sounds like some random peon from the internet

Like it or not, X: Rebirth was reported to be their best selling title.

Shiney pew-pew = money, sadly.

Anyway, I've got high hopes for X4 (loved X3). I rarely pre-order but I'm tempted for this one.

Rebirth had a lot of momentum behind it though, Egosoft had a lot of goodwill from gamers and a hardcore fanbase. It also game out when the space sims genre experienced a revival thanks to new Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen games. Add to that a successful marketing campaign with lots of social media hype and YouTube exposure helped by the games flashy colourful graphics its no wonder it was initially successful.
