Its still early days yet, but so far generally I have mixed feelings. The interiors of stations and NPC’s are not nearly as impressive looking though. It is quite a pretty game when you stop to look at the details of the stations, ships and background objects. There are things I like too though, I think I’ll quite like the exploration factor, you can just fly in around in the middle of nowhere with some very pretty space backgrounds and objects to investigate and a funky long range scanner you can use to ping the area of objects of interest. Nor can you turn the cockpit off to see more. Very dissapointed in the lack of any kind of external camera controls and even more annoyed that they’ve gone to all that effort of a pretty and detailed cockpit, with the ability to walk around your ship… but completely unable to look around your cockpit manually except during certain scripted sequences when you access menus, have a cutscene or dock somewhere. I’m finding the UI an unintuative affair, the sector/galaxy/zone maps are… confusing. There are performance issues as well, but I’m not so surprised about that. Alot of people are complaining about the lack of HOTAS support. Without the cursor, you can’t dock at stations for example. I currently cannot use my X52 Pro with the game without causing game breaking problems involving the mouse cursor constantly disappearing.

But, how does it actually play? If you’ve played it please share your impressions below.īy the way, Egosoft released another trailer covering the exploration aspects. Does this mean that I’ll finally be playing an X series game?Ībsolutely beautiful stuff guys. They are all great, but this one in particular has definitely conquered my heart. One thing is certain, these guys can surely produce amazing videos. But, from what I’ve seen in these gorgeous trailers Egosoft has been releasing – which all seem to use actual game material – I may have to do something about it soon. How could I be? After all, I never played an X series game minute in my life. This means that this is a big day for all X fans, and I guess for almost everybody into space sims for that matter. So, you can scratch one more title from the “ Sci-Fi/Space Games You Can’t Miss In 2013” list. After six or so years in development, Egosoft has finally released X Rebirth, their new X series’ game.
