X rebirth vr vs x rebirth1/3/2024 ![]() I love the X series, and do like what X4 is trying to do, but it needs some work to make it the game it can become. There really needs to be some "wow and fear factor. Xenon, Khaak and Pirate's are little to no threat. Totally agree, Game is way to easy (understand its focus on bring in new people to the genre, but its to simple) making money within a handful of hours your got a few stations running and credits roll in fast. Wondering if Egosoft plan on releasing another patch for Rebirth in the future? Wont have new features, but we come to expect that they'll release a bug fix patch? a 4.7-5.0 to shine it off? A case of quantity over quality.īut the storyline/politics of each X:Rebirth System was unique and amazing, if it had X4's War Mechanics then the civil war with PMC/Canterra and the Heart of Albion with an expansive Xenon threat looming in Maelstrom, what a game Rebirth would of been.Īnd now there is a ton of mods available to extend the life of Rebirth that takes away many of the bad features, improving the good ones and even giving us a civil war mechanic to boot and new ships. Maybe because of the lack of Star Systems they could invest more resources into making these Systems more lore-rich, with their own politics, paired with amazing graphics and unique locations on top of being able to actually delve deeper into a System/Sector rather than the X3 method of it being pretty wallpaper. Then again, it's called Foundations, so I'm hoping it'll improve as we move along. There are a few locations that are visually awesome, but most sectors are just more of the same, or more of the same but with rocks. Most systems had a unique look and feel, which made it a pleasure to explore. ![]() It was a much more interesting place to fly around in. While I like most things about X4, I must say that the universe in XR was vastly better. I don't know what 3.0 and the planned DLCs can do to improve the elements of the game that are lacking, but I would like to see a more dangerous visually appealing universe with more interactive elements. If Rebirth and X4 could have a love child, with the most endearing features of both parents, I think it'd make for an unbeatable game in my view. But it feels for me like a whole new set of positives were introduced in place of the positives which already existed in Rebirth. X4 does feel spartan, but I still very much enjoy it. I loaded it up recently, a new game, and it felt filled with 'life.' - Yeah, it had some huge issues too, but I bought it understanding the limitations. I loved docking the Skunk on a bigger ship and zooming off across the Universe. I liked the life on the stations and the fact you could interact via the minigames. Yes, as the previous poster stated, it was visually appealing. From the beginning I felt immersed, if a little overwhelmed. I didn't start playing Rebirth until the final version (4.3) came out. Seems such a shame ! X4 could be brilliant, yet at the moment it has been put on the back burner for me, and not only has the stove been turned off, it is disconnected as well. And I don't hold much hope things will have been changed much with the intro of 3. So until the 3 comes out I don't bother with it. I am a very keen X Pilot, I so want to be out in the X universe, but alas there is a whole lot of black out there. ![]() ![]() It is too easy, it is lost, and now pretty much stagnant. Ships all over the place, and own built stations everywhere. Yet the X4 game has been put into hibernation for me, I very quickly had tons of cash rolling in. Nowhere near as visual as Rebirth, (that is system look ) Ships are sort of good but seem all the same! Landing and Docking is a huge plus, very good indeed. Now X4 has been sucking up hours / Days / weeks. Rebirth was as we all know visually spectacular, but very dull to play. Then started it and very slowly stumbled into it’s ways. X3 was a hard game to figure out, so I abandoned it for a year. ![]()
