Well - it's not as if it's the first time they use the x-com brand on something else than a turnbased strategy game.
shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

Yes, Interceptor and Enforcer. But the X-COM story was still there, even though Enforcer was dreadful.

Hahahaha, just checked the trailer for the new "X-com" game. Damn what a joke. It's an abomination. It's pure FAIL!!!! It looks like a b-shooter from 2002, one of those shooters that nobody remembers or cared about (like Chrome or similar).
It seems to me like some developer worked on a 50'ies alien themed shooter game which the publisher thought would sell shed-loads of if they slapped the X-com label on it for pure marketing purposes.
Pure FAIL!!!!!

I belive that the single difference between the old X-Com's and this one, is that in this one you don't play as the X-Com chief commander, but as someone lower in the chain of command instead. (I.E, it looks like you don't order UFO interception, you don't control when something gets produced or not... don't control base building...).
Just hope that taking pictures off of dead alien bodies doesn't replace actually stunning and recovering them.
You are next!!

I saw and played some of them, however I had surpressed those horrible memories.
Thank you for reminding me...  |

I really like Interceptor. I would like it even more if there was an option of NOT going on a mission (only your soldiers in their spaceships, you stay out).

Apocalypse was very good actually, even without some of the extended features they wanted it to have (like capturing and interrogating crimnals for instance, not only aliens) and a lot of equipment that never made it to final.

and there are all in the CD.
if you can browse inside the pictures of the game folder, you will notice many piece of equipment new and very cool, like a compact-handgun-missile launcher (not the marsec one) a kinda laser rifle, the detention cells you mentioned for criminals/mindsucked enemies (my guess) and the advanced bio-contaiment unit ( 4 slot contaiment units, with plasma/energy turret for support)
dont saw it around (or im blind, meh), check this site out: http://www.xenonauts.com/index.php
its a new game based on the real xcom, worth the waiting to get done, instead to play that shit 2K will give us.

For me that shows it's done. XCom has kicked the bucket :/
| Quote: | It's not an answer that will satisfy angry old-time fans hoping for a more literal update, but in the long run, I think that may work in the game's favour. The demo I saw - which is the same one Brian saw at E3 - doesn't feel like an XCOM game, not one tiny bit.
I didn't sit there noticing homages to the old games, or areas where I could see a direct lineage. This is a completely new game and a completely new experience for the series, one so new and removed from what we associate with the franchise that I think most people will quickly forget it's called "XCOM" at all and will appreciate (or despise, if that's your thing) it for what it is, not what came before it. |
