X3 Terran Conflict - Albion Prelude

[DrATty]

The sequel to X3 Terran Conflict, Albion Prelude, becomes available on Steam today, 15-12-2011. In fact, I think some players are already downloading it now.
I'm a massive fan of EgoSoft's X-Series and can't wait to play it myself. It's the best space-shooter and empire-building game ever.
Are there any fans out there playing already?

Expansion to X3TC to bridge the storyline to X:Rebirth. Count me in! Although the developer's website does basically tell you to wait for the Steam sale... "Time your purchase right and you could enjoy substantial discounts in the Steam holiday sale too!"

[DrATty]

I didn't miss that either. 'Don't buy me now.' The trouble is that if I wait, I'll have less time to play before Rebirth comes out.

I'm a big fan of the X-series, and wasn't even aware that this was coming. Even better, since I have the Superbox on Steam, I think I get this for free, which would be nice.

Merry Christmas!

Im trying to wait for rebirth but if the price is right in the sale ill probally grab it.

I'll probably need to upgrade my PC to play Albion but I think the 5 year-old beast will cope with Prelude. I can't say that I like the idea of Steam and I'll probably wait until there's a disk. I like to see my games on my bookcase and there's usually the bonus of some printed material. I've got plenty to do in Terran Conflict and won't get bored while I wait.

playing it now. I'm a latecomer to the X3 party - I started playing X3TC earlier this year. Only finished the plots a couple of weeks ago, then they announce this!

You have to give them credit, it's a 3 year old game and they're still releasing stuff for it - and cos I'm a latecomer - I got it free I can understand why they charged some people, but it does seem a bit off to me that it's probably the most loyal fans that have had to shell out. Still, they didn't have to give it free to anyone, so shouldn't complain.

I've not got into the war side of it yet, so can't comment on that. I have just stumbled upon the Albion system though - lots of half completed highway thingys
