If it wasn't for Freelancer I would never have probably heard about the X series as being a little German studio they seem to go under the radar a bit. One of my mates who got me on to Freelancer in 2003 said "hey I found a game series just like it" and that was it, I was an addict lol. God knows how many hours I've put into the X series over the last 15 years.. and I'm still way behind in them due to my OCD urge to do and see everything haha! These days every man and his dog is making Freelance…

Yeah 100% agree with all that! The stories and characters of X1, X2 and X3 Reunion were really good. My connection to them was also why I enjoyed the books. However X3 Terran conflict onwards you just a generic player start sadly.As for multiplayer yeah interestingly Egosoft have said in their latest videos (Part 6 below I think) that they plan to expand on this 'visit other players' thing in future patches and dlc etc. So in another year or 2 maybe we'll find out what the final incarnation will…

(Quote from wombat1940)When I was first introduced to the X series around 2007ish it was X3 Reunion.. as soon as I saw the game start in the Argon system and looked at that stunningly realistic planet and its moon, not mention the reflections of both that planet and moon on the sides of the ships and stations I fell in love and wanted to play it so bad as I don't recall any other space game looking as good in 2006-7ish.Not the best photo as its a bit low rez and only shows a small fraction of th…

(Quote from SWAT_OP-R8R)Yeah I mean outside of the main story as yes its obviously impossible to finish the main storyline in any X game without combat. However it really is easy to avoid combat in X3 Renuion & X3 Terran Conflict since if you don't want the trouble then you don't go looking for it . So if Wombat wants to play a sandbox exploring and trading game without fighting anyone he could do it just fine in them. He's talked about doing that in FL and FL is exactly the same in that its imp…

(Quote from wombat1940)No worries mate, hope it helps.Sandbox game means "do what you want" essentially instead of being stuck in a "your have to play the game this way" linear path. But this describes it better.Sandbox game - WikipediaCool! Let know how your X4 experience goes and whether you can forge a business and trading empire with minimal violence like I did in X3 haha.

Forgot to post about this here.. we've got a new addon on the way! The Terran's are back!I'm kind of surprised that Egosoft didn't do a Boron expansion (using fan suggestions on how to achieve their look and mobility in non-liquid environments) and then put in a bit of a cliffhanger story ending with a Terran tease, so you could then save the Terrans for a big stand alone game with a new story like they did back in the day with Terran Conflict (same engine but separate to X3 with a sexy cliffhan…

Looks like X4 Cradle of Humanity is out now. I can't run the game on my old rig so I'm drooling over all the videos appearing online instead lol. As usual it was pretty buggy on release but it sounds like most of the issues have been fixed already.Planet terraforming looks cool: New launch trailer:youtube.com/watch?v=Zs2BwzOKjhsI've always loved the soundtracks to past X games and still hum many of the songs after all these years lol.. the new one sounds amazing:youtube.com/watch?v=HDhniOTutZs.

(Quote from Blake00)Quoting myself here lol as they finally done it! Egosoft are creating another addon pack for X4 and are bringing back the water based Borons! I've been asking for this for years and years! Every time people would say it's impossible I'd pitch my 'stations with separate water areas and Boron encounter suits for the normal dry areas' idea and how it could work in the X4 engine. So to now see that they've actually done that and made it a reality makes me so happy, as this is pre…
