X4 - don't care how long it takes, just do it right and you can take my money
Just caught up with this after recieving an annoucement email. Very, very pleased to hear it. Please don't mess this up Ego, make it like X3 only bigger better and deeper. That's what I'm looking for anyway.
I know you're doing the XR:VR thing as a priority, but really that doesn't interest me. But I'm still cool about it 'cos I know people are going ape about how VR transforms the Elite Dangerous experience so I imagine the trial run in XR:VR will add a lot to X4 VR experience and probably force me to seriously consider getting a VR set when X4 finally arrives.
Some people have that all the old X universe players have gone away. I just want to say I haven't gone away, I'm just not interested in XR. I'll be back like a flash as soon as I see X4 above trhe horizon.
I know the email updates I'm going to get from you are going to be all about XR:VR primarily, but please can you also add just a little bit about X4 as well?

It's not been announced. I am just guessing it will havee VR support from the get go becasue....why wouldn't they if they've already done it for XR? By X4 release the idea that VR and first person view space games are a marriage made in heaven should be indelibly etched on the general gaming public.

I just hope they dont butcher the UI more than they already did to make XR "console/ living room" friendly...

Because XR VR is a truncated version of XR. I don't think most players will want a watered down version of X4 just to cater to the rather small crowd that uses VR.Gregorovitch wrote:It's not been announced.

Have a great idea for the current or a future game? You can post it in the [L3+] Ideas forum.
X4 is a journey, not a destination. Have fun on your travels.

I am at the moment mostly taking care of the layout. Focus is on mouse+kb.Killjaeden wrote:I just hope they dont butcher the UI more than they already did to make XR "console/ living room" friendly...

(Or painting to my eyes, in this case? )
Humans are deuterostomes, which means that when they develop in the womb the first opening they develop is the anus.
This means that at one point you were nothing but an asshole.
Some people never develop beyond this stage.

Ohh, you better be putting the joystick/hotas effort in, too, or you're gonna hear about it!linolafett wrote:I am at the moment mostly taking care of the layout.

Just try to get feedback on it from "a players mindset" when you are able/ready. UI is such a tricky thing to get right and has been a real ball and chain for X Universe.linolafett wrote: I am at the moment mostly taking care of the layout. Focus is on mouse+kb.
No.1 Golden rule is the UI must work for the player not against them in getting things done.
The problem with sylish UI is that it's often not functional.
Since X-Rebirth 2.0 you can choose between stylish UI that is the part of Skunk kopit pilot body animation (e.g turning head to the monitor) or the simple Sidebar UI.
I picked the sidebar UI every time, the only pros of cokpit UI was better scaling to player monitor resolution (e.g. trade menu in cokpit mode was taking whole screen, while sidebar UI trade menu was using like 30-40% of the screen).

Well I had no idea that was so. In which case screw VR. I can confirm without hesitation that a "watered down" version of X4 is NOT what I am looking forward to. Not even the slightest hint of dampness.Nanook wrote:Because XR VR is a truncated version of XR.

XR VR is not a watered down version of XR! You have almost the same possibilites as in XR. The changes that were made, which do not relate to the UI, were mostly done to ensure a stable framerate on a majority of systems. Some users with better hardware are already successfully experimenting with reversing these changes. Whether or not VR will play a role in X4 will most-likely depend on the experiences Egosoft makes with the XR VR Edition and on the market saturation of VR in general.
