Rebirth vs. Star Citizen

Posted by Roguey     Comments 1 comments

We all love space-games (the reason many of us are here), and so its unfair not the mention Star Citizen (a game by Chris Roberts and Cloud Imperium Games). Chris Roberts has some great plans for his new game, and has been very clear about posting them on the net. Star Citizen is Rebirth's bigge ... » Read more

In this video Matthias talks about a new path system that ships use in Rebirth. This should prove the AI greatly - especially for capital ships that had a hard time i ... » Read more

Two more development videos

Posted by Roguey     Comments 0 comments

It seems egosoft are going a bit mad, showering us with not 1, but two more development videos, albeit one in English and the other in German. The first one (being in English) talks about the LOD system (Level Of Detail). A LOD system optimizes the detail of object depending on its distance. ie. an ... » Read more

New and updated media pages

Posted by Roguey     Comments 1 comments

Today I have been re-working the media pages for all x-sites. In the past they were hidden under the info section. For many x-games this was rather pointless as the info page was basically empty. Next I have updated 2 modules on the site: videos and pictures. Videos have been greatly expanded on ... » Read more

X-Suspended.... for the time being at-least

Posted by Roguey     Comments 5 comments

I've been a big fan of Egosoft over many years. I started playing egosoft games from X-BTF right up-to X3TC (and every game in-between). I had many great moments whilst playing, exploring new systems, talking to races and learning new things. However over time ive felt a bit unvalued by Egosoft. Ple ... » Read more

Egosoft's Rebirth forum board

In a rather odd move, egosoft have created a new board on their forums for Rebirth. This is rather odd for egosoft, as they normally keep all X-Games posts in one large board. Bernd has made some sickies on the forum containing some new and old information about rebirth. There are 4 main threads ... » Read more
