Supposedly they are in talks with a publisher...i dunno. They have a Sept release date set tho.

you might want to go to www.egosoft.com/x2/forum - the guys there will answer all your X2-related Q's.

I don't have a drinking problem. I drink. I get drunk. I fall down. No problem.

X2 is set for september. And they are planning to make X-Online.

...Yes sir thats right... just drop your cargo or I can open your hull with my twin plasma blasters, and take the cargo for myself.......Thank you, have a nice flight.

X2 looks like a great game, but... Seperating the singleplayer and multiplayer components is a monumentally idiotic decision. It's been tried before, and all it does it piss off your customers. I don't predict X2 will do well. At least not until X2OL comes out, if ever.

By the way, I just got their newsletter in the e-mail and it looks like they completely ignored North America in their search for a publisher.

well, tach, egosoft is a german developer, so of course they look first in europe for a publisher

True enough. However, it seems like a pretty big landmass to leave up until the last minute. The game will be gold only in a few months, and (obviously) they will need a publisher by then They've said they don't want the inferior publicity that NA received for X-BTF. That's one of the reasons they ditched their old publisher IIRC.

I dont really care what publisher, I still think its an extremely stupid idea to seperate multi and single player, the belong together, like man and woman, cant live with it (spamming hacking cheating and overall rude people) and cant live without it (constant bitching about how it doesnt have it until you get it and change subjects)

reviews from what i think are accurate sources said that the gameplay of x-btf was crap. if any of have played it what did you think. I liked the dog fighting of starlancer but not the destroy torpedo missions which spoilt it.
do you reckon that the dogfighting in x2 will be as good as starlancer fights and the star wars starfighter game(I played the demo along time ago and remember it was pretty good action).
