After the semidissapointment called Ufo Aftershock, i'm eagerly awaiting for this one. It promises the same feeling given by the first UFO Enemy Unknown with updated graphics and some new inovations. A must have for everyone who loved the first game.

Good old one, I believe UFO:TFTD was the best.

It's not 3d like u can move the camera around. The objects will be 3d, the camera will be fixed in a isometric position, and i think it's a good decision, u won't get confused about where's where. And i think a remake is a good thing, rather than the experience Ufo AM and AS has delivered to the fans of the series.
The main difference between UFO Enemy Unknown and UFO:ET is that u can control 2 planets in this one...need to say more?

- Stability a real problem until you apply the patch

- The game seems to go on forever

- Interface could have been streamlined

...and to those mentioned, UFO AS has like a dozen maps for a game that you supposed to be playing like 50 hours to finnish. There are only like 5-6 races in all the game, the modability is really awful(worse than UFO AM actualy), the enemy is brain dead (and that's not an alien race name), after 2 patches and 3 months since release, the major problems are not resolved still(i guess because of the hard coding of the game), the balance of the weapons is awful(one mod tries to ballance the game out, but it uses the same 10 weapon models for like 70 weapons). Need i go on? There are more issues, but i can't remember.
Oh, and as a side note, UFO AS and UFO: ET are developed in the same country(the developers are both czech) and share the same publisher...but that is the only resemblence between the two.

All you "pile-of-shit people" should try the original game. It might help put things into perspective. Rolling Eyes

I spoke of the graphics, not the gameplay.
The game was indeed great. Even today it still is better than any of the other UFO games and that's despite the fact that it looks like the aforementioned pile of shit.

Well most games from back then indeed do look like shite. But cast your mind back to a game like say Elite. The best space game by far, although the graphics now are laughable.

Yeah, I actually play Elite First Encounters from time to time even though the graphics are horrible. The old UFO is more frustrating to play since mouse control is so damn bad..
Imagine of someone were to slap a decent graphics engine into the Elite package. Now that would be a game I'd actually go out and buy for full price, which isn't something I do very often. Razz

Anyways, if UFO Extraterrestrials has the depth of the original UFO it's gonna be great regardless if it has a state of the art graphics engine or not.

I hate to say it but I never played old UFO games so I don't quite know what to expect. It look great but I noticed one thing in the first screenshot:

http://www.ufo-extraterrestrials.com/sshots/UFO_ET_Research2.jpg

look carefully... "avaliable"? Smile I know some typo error isn't much but in a interface you see often, posted as the first screen shot of the site and nobody noticed in the team? One error is not a lot but if this passed I wouldn't want to see what the code look like (trust me I got experiance).

The game is being corrected of typos as we speak. The errors in spelling are because the team is czech, and they didn't hire a translator until now. But i'd rather much prefer a typo than a CTD/BSD or a missing feature...

X com was one of my favorite games of all time.

But did you guys look at the gamespot screens?

This game looks like utter shit, graphically. Give me the original 640x480 over these crap 3d renders.
