View Full Version : X2: The Threat - DELAYED
Coming at the end of next month, the sequel to X: Beyond the Frontier, which was a great game (except for a couple of fundamental flaws).
From this early review (http://www.totalvideogames.com/?section=Read%20Previews&id=589&gameid=3267&format=000007) it sounds like exactly the kind of game I'd be hoping for, taking the Elite style of gaming to a new level. :D
Some choice extracts;
Staggeringly it’s entirely possible to fly any of the games 70+ ships, ranging from small cargo ships to 2-Kilometer warships! It’s also possible to build up a fleet of ships giving commands from the bridge in a manner that will please any Sci-Fi fan.
It does seem that EgoSoft have got everything you could possibly wish for in ‘X2’; our particular favourite involves space-walking which you’ll have to do to transport to other ships until you can afford a transporter.
It sounds ace, I hope it lives up to this review :E

Found this Rolling Demo (http://www.enlight.com/x2/files/X2-TheThreatDemo.exe). "The X² - The Threat rolling demo also includes a benchmarking feature so you can check out how well your system runs this awesome game!"

yes yes it is :)
So how do you get to be a beta tester anyway? I've always fancied trying it, especially for a game like this.

most of the time u just need to apply to be a Beta tester (normally by reading mags who say a game is in beta and go9ing to the webby)give them the info they need like experiance (not always previous beta testing) why u should be a beta tester i list my many many years of giming oh and ur machine spec and hopefully u will get an email sayin well done with instructions on how to proceed
