X³: REUNION continues to lead the way in offering players the ultimate open ended game play experience, backed by an addictive storyline and intense combat/trading action. Utilising the ‘X³ Reality’ engine, X³ pushes the graphical boundary to movie quality in-game graphics. TRADE in a new economy, dynamically reactive in pricing relative to supply and demand. FIGHT individual dog fights or command full-scale fleets against massive enemy armadas. Budding trade entrepreneurs can BUILD interconnecting factories to create huge space borne complexes, to truly mass produce commodities. THINK through a professional screen-written story line, to unravel the destiny of the galaxy.
The X³: REUNION engine utilizes the very latest DirectX 9 graphical technology; pixel-shader technology is used to create realistic reflections across a variety of surface types, while bump maps and specula maps add detail to the geometry of objects. A freshly developed economy system allows for more imaginative ways to conquer your foes via commerce. Functions using established business models of ‘Elasticity of demand’, ‘Economies of scale’ and ‘Return on investment’. Factories are constructed by non player characters, which can freely trade; wars in sectors affect the universal economy, while opportunities bring challenges to both novice and experienced players.
