When x5 ?

[rubyismycat]

Out of curiousity are Egosoft planning a sequel to this game if so when and will they use the same engine again?

[Bozz 💀]

I rather think they working on a Standalone expansion lilke for x3
we are years away from x5 and there is a lot to improve on from x4

Never. I am pretty sure Egosoft is counting on Russia to start nuclear war so they don't have to release DLC with Borons.

Pssh. I will still be expecting X4 to release a Boron DLC even with Nuclear Ash outside... The Boron will come no matter what!

We will fight to get Borons back. And missing Xenon ships

Yoy do realise that fight will be against an AI stucked in X3, right?

honestly i was just hoping that they might use a different engine and get away from the game feeling like a console game i really miss the days of x3. Rebirth and x 4 look amazing but they just dont have quite the depth of their predecessors IMO

They are adding more and more. Mods can add even more. Look at where the game was before any DLC. If they do 1 or 2 more DLC the X4 universe might get huge. Maybe play with 1 more game mechanic. Moders beyond that will take it all over the place. Some X3 Rebirth ships have been added that way and more. I haven't jumped into mods myself. will after all the story missions are done. I haven't even got Tides of Avarice yet

You are right and the devs are very hard working but it is obvious to me that something is wrong somewhere not with the dev team but perhaps with the software they are using which i suspect has certain limitations

it was never actually sold as early access they just released it in a pre alpha state and then promised to fix it

I hope X5 is coming rather quick than having to watch Ego further develope this current mess of software!

Ego should release more nonsensical DLC's to collect enough money to be able to afford programmers who know how to program a new engine that will work with the game's concept. The poor scripting and performance in X4 simply make it a trashcan product.

And Ego should probably get rid of It's current head rather quick to replace him with someone who understands what made the series great before X4.

Impossible for me to understand how there are guys who actually hype this current version of X up. The idea alone is still so unique and fantastic in it's concept for sure, but how do you enjoy an "endless session sandbox" game that shuts itself down after a couple of hours, because it wasn't even optimized for hardware standards from years ago when it released?

And I'll never understand these lowest of standards that this company and it's hardcored fanbase stands for today, when looking back at the history of the X series. This version of X is such a complete waste of time and effort.

X4 has been in Early Access status since its release, even if Egosoft markets it differently.
To tell you the truth, X4 is miles away from being a finished game.
It's a bit curious that X Rebirth was further along after 3 years than X4 is now after 4 years and you get the impression that Egosoft is overwhelmed with their own engine, as they are with X4.
Nevertheless, X4 is well worth playing.
That is curious and an almost schizophrenic state of affairs.
I think X4 needs at least another 4 years of work before we see a significant improvement.
Still, I think Egosoft will get at most 1 maybe 2 more dlc's before an X5 is released.
A lot of the problems with X4 come from ventures and not supporting Modern well.
On the contrary, Moder is still punished with the passage Modified behind a Save Game for a function that has not worked for 4 years and was taken out of the game for almost 2 years.
Bravo Egosoft.
If you talk to Egosoft about it, they say there are still significant things to come with the ventures and multiplayer, but it takes time.
After 4 years after release!
And so it is with many things in X4, unfortunately.

I personally believe that X5 will be announced soon and with slight changes X5 will become X4 . 05.

As long as Egosoft refuses to get bigger, to take more risks, everything about X4/X5 will remain half-hearted work.

To be fair the game is in a much better state now than it was when launched and i am certain the devs have worked like crazy on this game from my perspective the station building system is very good and the ships look fantastic i also LOVE the games music but i feel that the games ui is an atrocious disaster combat fleet controls are inadequate and where as in x2 and 3 what weapons you equipped and what softwear etc made a huge differrence in this game for reasons i dont understand everything feels arcady and i have zero idea if im even making sense anymore lol
