official XCOM: Enemy Unknown

[S00N3R FR3AK]

Well this looks pretty good just on this brief glimpse of the game.

 

Unlike 2K Marin's previously announced XCOM shooter, which sparked tempers among longtime fans for turning its back on the series' cerebral roots, this title is a full-on strategy game that puts players in command of a global anti-alien defense force. XCOM's leader needs a worldwide perspective where threats are identified, populations reassured, and national leaders mollified ? but a tactical mind is just as critical considering every shot XCOM's soldiers fire on the battlefield is under the player's turn-based control.

"It?s been a dream of ours to recreate X-COM with our unique creative vision. We?re huge fans of the original game and it?s a once in a lifetime opportunity to re-envision a game that is as beloved as X-COM," said Steve Martin, president of Firaxis Games. "We were careful to keep XCOM: Enemy Unknown true to the elements that made X-COM such a revered game while delivering an entirely new story and gameplay experience for both die-hard X-COM fans and newcomers to the franchise."

It's about time they started working on an X-COM strategy game.

[Ayepecks]

Looking forward to learning more about this. I knew XCOM the FPS wouldn't be the only XCOM game coming out soon. Hell, they practically stated that word-for-word multiple times -- never understood why people got so upset.

[WolfieZero]

X-Com was the only strategy game I really liked despite I sucked at it.

I look forward to seeing more about it.

[Sulphy]

I hope that they really do bring it back to the original turn based X-COMS... look into Xenonauts! http://www.xenonauts.com/

I personally am sick of them re-releasing under the name of X-COM, and making it FPS...! major let down! My 5c! :)

I nearly had a geek-gasm of the first order when I saw this!

[neoadorable]

so this isn't the shooter 2K is working on? well, Steam had the whole series for like five bucks the other day, guess someone's ramping up interest in the franchise, and this kind of explains it!

Now I just need someone to tell me Syndicate is being remade as a proper syndicate game as well and not just FPS. since there's no tactical game that comes close to syndicate. it's what all other games want to be when they grow up.

it does look quite promising, more so than the Jagged Alliance remake...

[Minifig]

It's delayed until 2013..

I personally won't shed a tear if it gets canceled...

This is a first person shooter, it is NOT a proper XCOM game.

This, is the original XCOM, and the best...

It's an RTS game..

You're wrong - as far as I know this is NOT an FPS game. The FPS X-COM is coming sooner, I forgot the name of the game. But this one is definitely a turn based (or not?) Strategy game

No the game for this thread is an RTS, there is a FPS coming out soon. Two different games.

Read the op, this thread is not about the fps. But about the the second new Xoom game announced. The rts one.

[monkey13]

Apparently it is a mix of RTS and turn based. I'm just praying that they don't ruin another game from my formative years. This one is at least looks more promising. I couldn't care less about an X-Com FPS (or the Syndicate one).

Just thinking I hope this is a massive hit and we then see a proper Syndicate game as well.

[Hedon]

I want the XCOM FPS more than this.

[briangw]

I want the XCOM FPS more than this.

Heck no. The original XCom series was always turn based. I can't fathom playing an XCom in first person.

[Hedon]

I don't care if it was turn based, RPG, racer, shooter, or sidescroller. I want the XCOM FPS shooter that has been shown more than this XCOM strategy game. Period.

[S00N3R FR3AK]

Here is some more info about the RTS. All part of GIs cover story.

The art of the game has video

Music for the game again a video.

And a look at the bad guys

love how lots of developers still stick to the every car is a Ford Crown Vic creed, even though Ford doesn't make Crown Vics anymore. love the car, but we could use more variety. i mean just look at the first screenshot we get. a Crown Vic, what do you know.
