X² - The Return Delayed

Egosoft confesses that X² - The Return is delayed (thanks Frans), and that publisher Deep Silver now projects a Q2 2005 release for the X² - The Threat add-on, which was previously expected in February. The Deep Silver Site offers further consolations, but no explanation: "As the delay may be a little disappointment for all the X2 fans out there, we show three exclusive screenshots here to shorten the waiting. Expect more screenshots, infos and news to show up on the completely redesigned X2 website."

Yeah, sure. By the time Elite 4 is out, it will be a historical epic rather than a futuristic adventure. And I doubt it will be anything special if Rollercoater Tycoon 3 is anything to get my (same developers, right?).

I think people who couldn't see the magic in the game have lost something special, something many of us haven't felt since the days of elite.

Or they have different opinions than those you have, it is possible while not being wrong in any way. Sorry if you didn't mean to be so elitist (no pun intended), that's just how I picked it up.

I tried X2 and I would have liked to like it, but there just wasn't enough to do. Coupled with an inflexible plot (which is a bad idea for an open ended game) and slightly fake feeling space (not as bad a Freelancer's god awful systems but still lacking) and it's just not the game it could be. I hope The Return fixes it a lot but I doubt it - I think the problems are those that an expansion can't fix. More systems and ships won't help make space more believable.

I hope it has better jump animations. And ATi multimonitor support.

i also think that all '34' fans of x2 is quite shortsighted, because it sold well for an x-game and a game of its niche genre. There a over 100,000 members of the egosoft community today.

X2- the threat was an excellent game, while it had it's flaws, i put in the hard hours and i got an enriching, rewarding experience that i have found hard to beat. the game is literally huge and if you put in the hours you can become so rich and powerful it's unbelievable, while starting off from earning a few measly credits doing trading and missions to earning millions of credits in short periods of time.

I think people who couldn't see the magic in the game have lost something special, something many of us haven't felt since the days of elite.



I look forward to the expansion.

The cutscenes just annoyed the hell out of me.

deep and compelling my ass, its quite shallow - 3 types of missions, an ABYSMAL storyline, a kindergarten economy model, and worse combat than Asteroids

im willing to see if the expansion will fulfill the potential

I was disappointed with X2, being a huge fan of X.

Actually it ran like crap on my PC and I could barely play it... I suppose I should give it another go now.

you want attention today ? here go play in traffic lol
what ever youre bitchin about is moot, but i beg you to offer anything constructive about the game.
Have you tried it? do you like it? do you think it sucks? and why, also are you having any issues with this announcement such as the DELAY of the game? after all did you even read the Fking topic before you came in here spouting off your little attitude? its about a game called X2 and the delay of the expansion i belive.
So stick to that if your able.

Any person that uses 'lol' as a suffix for their own bad joke instantly makes whatever argument they may have been trying to make moot.
