I see highways are now flat panels you move around on. I guess they did this to give people a good view, but I'm not sure I like it. I would have preferred rings of some sort that you move through.

They can't please everyone though and I like what I'm seeing.

Edit: On second thought, I do like how the highways tilt on corners. It's quite a nice effect.

I don't suppose anyone looked into who else got early copies? Maybe one of them won't take four hours to fly around and do a single mission. My lust for knowledge is insatiable.

I did a quick check on youtube, and it looks like the only other person who's put up a video is a russian guy, but he does seem to be more competent at the game.

It's basically an unwritten rule that if someone gets access to a game early and streams it, they're gonna be terrible.

At least they didn't give it to some popular variety streamer that would be completely lost and poo poo on the game.

True, they could've given it to DSP who would do both those things while also constantly stopping to thank everyone who gives him a dollar and buys a subscription.

So I can't find the recorded video on Twitch and YouTube presumably nuked the video over a copyright claim. Fantastic.

Supposedly there was some personal information that was shown on the video and he took it down to edit that out.

It's 10 PM CST. Few in the US will be looking for streams this late. Also the streams were not planned or advertised. I only found out about what was happening because I wondered why this thread had so many new posts.

The people that play X games are already gonna buy it, the people who are interested are probably going to go looking more proactively than random streams, especially from a dude who doesn't play these kinds of games ever.

Yeah, if Rebirth didn't sink Egosoft I doubt this will, considering it actually looks good.

I think the earlier stream had closer to 1000, they were just split between youtube and twitch.

The very fact that egosoft is putting their hyper niche and mega German game in the hands of not so niche streamers is an extremely good sign.

The earlier Stream got me hype as hell, I wanted to avoid doing that but once he docked on a moving capital ship that was just cruising around between sectors and went up on the bridge I was sold.

I was sold the moment I saw that streamer go through about 5 different systems in the span of 30 seconds while on a highway.

In X3 it would have taken me the better part of five minutes with SETA on.

The explorer within me approves immensely.

Edit: Being able to literally hitchhike through systems is also amazing in every way.

Being able to quickly get from point A to point B kind of diminishes the sense of scale for me in games like this. There has to be a happy medium for sanity sale, of course, but I can't wait to get in the game and see how it feels.

To be fair you're going at 10000kph on one of those highways or something ridiculous like that, but normally you can only go to about 1.5kph-ish max when you're not.

Basically the vibe I got from that and the general size of sectors when you're flying around normally is that you can get to other systems quickly if you want/need to, but there's plenty of space off the beaten path to explore.
