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

[Burning Bridges]

Well if you need arguments not to be hyped, it's extremely improbable to make a game with all those features and a dynamic world, even with a huge budget. And this has all to be done with a fraction of the resources of Star Citizen, so they will be cutting corners and their procedural approach will produce funny results.

The thing they have going for them is that many people will be turning away from SC and looking for alternative games. In that respect the timing is very good for X4

 

[Perkel]

X3 and X:rebirth with mods have dynamic world. You can wipe out whole factions and systems change hands.
Unlike vanilla they also do not spawn shit but operate on budgets.

DarkUnderlord can you move this thread to space sims part of forum ?

No, leave it here. Here it gets at least some replies.

 

[praetor]

in Space nobody can hear you post

 

[Perkel]

Well you are kind of right. Imho best way would be to have two links going to same thread in both space and general gaming.

 

[Shog-goth]

I'd call it "void" section of the forum rather than "space".

 

[Perkel]

6 weeks till release. Time flies fast.

 

[Spectacle]

Remember to add another 6 months for bugfixes and essential mods before it's playable.

 

[Shog-goth]

And another 6 years before it's complete.

though, on the other hand, having a couple of the more popular Space games in the Space subforum could bring some much needed life to it?

dunno...

It had more life when all sims business/city building/racing/flight/space were all bundled together instead of most of those being thrown into general gaming and forgotten with all the talk of casual AAA games in there.

absolutely. i'm just trying to make the most of it of the shitshow we have now

 

[Average Manatee]

I need a good new space sim. Have to hope for the 0.1% chance of a game that is playable within a month or so.

 

[Raapys]

They still haven't learned anything UI-wise, I see.

[Perkel]

I really like their ship design.

ITT: Lots of potential buyers for that bridge I want to sell. Perkele front of the line.

Like the wise George Dubya said: "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, uh, you can't get fooled again"

Meh, spending all this budget on these absurd cockpits when they could be spending it on more ship types.

 

[ADL]

Even at their shittiest, Egosoft at least attempts to do interesting things. They're the Piranha Bytes of space sims. As long as it has more of an end game than X Rebirth, I'm in day one pretty much no matter what.

Do these games work as well with a HOTAS as Elite Dangerous? I just realized I haven't replayed an X game since before I got it.
