RPS hands on X-Rebirth

[Pinback]

RPS have got themselves the 10 minute demo from Gamescon [url]http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/10/14/hands-on-x-rebirth/[/url] It’s only then that I notice that the fight I ignored is going on around me. I stand and stare, forgetting the conversation and watching the station’s automated defences lashing out at the intruders.It’s the first glimpse I have at the wider universe going about its business, something I was worried I wouldn’t get to see. I take a great deal of joy in discovering it in a guided demo, because it shows that Rebirth’s heart is in the right place. You don’t play this sort of game to be the centre of the universe, but to be part of the world. To be able to find it in what should be a scripted sequence of events is incredibly heartening. Awesome to read that.
