I'm not buying before they release a VR version. Playing flat spaceships is not that fun anymoreI haven't bought the game for the reasons you say above.
Also:Egosoft said:Let's take our most hated game ever and do a VR port. What can go wrong?
Egosoft said:Oh, XR:VR didn't sell well. VR sucks, and it's not our most hated game's fault. No VR for X4.
Hows the head tracking support coming? I plan on buying this as soon as it hits 19.99 USD as long as there is trackir support.
And it works great with EDTracker!
Too bad that X4 won't be in VR, no VR no buy.
I'm really looking forward to this. I played x4 upon release and could tell that it had a lot of potential, but ultimately shelved it to let it age a bit until the dlc came out. The dlc sounds great, and hopefully 3.0 fixes most of the base game's short comings and technical hiccups. I bought the collectors edition, so all I have to do is waitEgosoft@Gamescom | Live@Gamestar | Translated Summary - egosoft.com

A glimpse of the new tutorials, a quick run of the flight school (just the first part really) and the new combat scenario, improved visual effects (bloom FTW, but damn engines and explosions look good now), improved sound effects, plus lots and lots (and lots, and lots....and lots....and lots...and lots....) of fixes and tweaks.
nice I'll continue to keep an eye on it as i was a fan of the earlier X games (but rebirth killed it for me)however I'm willing to give them a 2nd chance, hence why I bought it.@ChemicalBR0 @lostagain , didn't want to hijack the other thread, here's a quick peek from someone having a go at the beta for the 3.0 version

I only played it for a couple of hours too. I really wanted to love it, and in a way I do, I like it, but what stopped me was the feeling of having to learn yet another flight system. I'm so used to Elite and Nomansky. It's just a matter of getting over the first hurdle and I'll probably will love it.Bought this at launch, tested for couple of hours, didnt get anywhere and thats the last i have tried this one out.
Should reinstall and give this another go..
I'm going to give it another try.What are folks general feelings of this title now?
