Re: Tactical XCOM in the works.
lol, thankfully I figured that out by the title. Cool... lets hope it lives up to the name. I could really use an x-com with modern graphics.

Re: Tactical XCOM in the works.
In case you didn't know: Firaxis, of Sid Meier, Alpha Centauri and a whole lot of other cult TBS games fame, is pretty much the best developer out there for these types of games...so very excited. More info http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/01 ... s-worries/video interview with the devs. If you're an X-com fan like us, you'll love the banter. Very hopeful for the upcoming game! http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/ ... -xcom.aspx

Re: Tactical XCOM in the works.
Looks interesting. The art direction is definitely different. I've have to see more before I can pass judgement.

Re: Tactical XCOM in the works.
Long interview with the lead designer of the game at Firaxis. Grab a beer and enjoy. There's some vague blabla in there, but you can feel the guy's love for the original fly off the page. Parts 1 and 2, 3 to follow I think. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/02 ... n-preview/http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/02 ... m-preview/

Re: Tactical XCOM in the works.
5 min vid with gameplay footage and dev comments! http://www.joystiq.com/2012/03/06/xcom- ... n-updates/It looks pretty awesome - not sure about the kill cam thingie, but other than that...aliens look good, destructible environment, base building...can't wait.

Re: Tactical XCOM in the works.
Looks pretty good. a bit cartoony, but if the gameplay is good, I'm ok with it. I like how they blew off the top half of a grey and it turned into a green mess.

Re: Tactical XCOM in the works.
Good finds. Even more stoked than before now. Not that we'll see the game anytime soon, but y'know.

Re: Tactical XCOM in the works.
A trailer! (obviously flashy and EXPLOSIONS because it's E3, so not very tactical or informative. But doesn't look bad) EDIT: won't embed properly for some reason, so here you go http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=pl ... i6X5fgaCE#! Also, two-part hands-on preview http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/05 ... y-unknown/http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/05 ... wn-part-2/
