X4: Foundations - Mount and Blade with space-ships. Now with significant Beta update

[Perkel]

Is anti aliasing banned in Germany? Looks cool otherwise

Usually stuff like antialiasing is added later into game dev.

This might be the first X4 game I actually enjoy. Just saw the presentation video from XCON 2017, looks good.

I'm so hyped for this game. I don't want to get too excited but I sincerely hope they will release it this year. Do you think that 2018 release date is realistic?

No.

Where the fuck is the Gamescom coverage for this game?

?? Egosoft never introduced anything more than just copy protection... They even give you no_steam.exe for their older games

The first game had copy protection that reduced (halved?) your credits from time to time if you didn't have the original CD in.

Telling me that sarcasm doesn't really translate well when the actual reason it flew over your head is that you misread/skimmed what I wrote will prompt a response from me, yes.

Naturally, this is all my fault for having the temerity to point out your oversight, and not yours for being in error.

Just saw this. Good to know what gets sand in your vagina for future reference.

But they released no-CD patches for all their games not too long after initial release.

Sure. And they're all on Steam now. But the post I quoted said "never introduced" which is wrong.

Huh? The post you quoted said "never introduced *anything more than* copy protection", referring to another post talking about DRM. So you agreed with the post you quoted. I only wanted to add that they even removed the copy protection.

Where the fuck is the Gamescom coverage for this game?

A German site did a preview with new gameplay but I agree that the coverage was pretty piss poor.

 

[Grotesque]

Egosoft is a german developer.
Gamescom takes place in Germany and is the biggest gaming event in this hemisphere.
And they aim to release in 2018.

"We will be presenting the game to journalists on an appointment basis, but we do not have a booth in the customer area. If you are a journalist please contact us at press@egosoft.com."

2018? Really?

X4: Foundations - Preview of the German Star Citizen

In German, but google translate works fine.

The entire universe of X4 is simulated. NPCs themselves build civilizations, carry out conflicts or conduct trade. The economy is modeled realistically, for the first time in an X-game the computer-controlled galaxy dwellers even produce all goods and resources themselves - from ships to weapons. Thanks to smarter AI, the three peoples included in the game are now able to set up stations. In addition, aliens react dynamically to changes and developments in their environment. If their habitat is destroyed, they will recover by themselves and rebuild their culture.

 

[Edija]

I'm kinda worried that the Gamescom video says you can fly "almost" any ships.

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

Didn't even realize footage for this game was out. Game journalists are fuckin amazing and so motherfucking useful.

Also RIP Space games forum.

 

[Thane Solus]

i bet not even half of the universe is simulated like they say... i really hope they hired a proper collision, pathfinding programmer this time, otherwise is gona be another trainwreck.

 

[Grotesque]

If they release this year, it's clear that they want to use the suckers who will buy it as beta testers.
There is no way this game can be finished and bug free this year.

 

[Duellist_D]

So, after the disaster of what shall be not named ITT, Bernd and Egosoft got their shit back together and started to wörk again on a proper X game.
There was an alpha Trailer about a year ago, but on Gamescom, they had a presentation with a lot of new material in it.

Naturally, it was all Kraut and i was to lazy to make a translation of all the things said during the video.
Thankfully, finally some youtuber did all the work instead of me and there is now a nice and short Video by him, giving an overview about (almost) all things known so far about X4 Foundations and so i can finally put another thread on this semi-dead board.




Small tidbits: On top of Borons, Split will probably also be missing in the beginning (big FUCK YOU to whoever keeps my away from Mamba, Dragon and Acinonyx), but might be added in later (knowing Ego, prolly at around V2.0 or with an DLC.

Looks pretty neat so far, graphics is so-so but i can live with that. Avatars look like ass, but thats basically part of Egosoft since X2. It might get a release in late 2018, but expect it around 2019.

That's Egosoft in a nutshell. I don't think they ever did it any other way.

 

[Trans-Financial-Man]

Seems to always be the cycle with Egosoft.

>This game is okay but buggy to shit. Really needs improvement
>Uh okay, they fixed some stuff but now the game is shit
>Holy shit this new version fixed nearly everything and it's still buggy as shit. At least the mods are awesome!
>WTF IS THIS CASUALISED SHIT! DECLINE!
>Maybe this one will fix everything?
>Nope still fucked.

Fuck yes. I can't wait to finally spend years playing X4.

 

[Burning Bridges]

I like the piss filters

 

[Dedicated_Dark]

Fuck yes. I can't wait to finally spend years playing X4.

While concurrently spending years not playing Star Citizen.
