I’d pay extra for time units aswell. And more like a 10max squad size rather than 6.

i kind of like the FBI one that was at e3 last year
it look interesting and original
but i guess its dead because fans don’t like when someone does something different with a 10 year franchise that no one touched for years

I would love a time units per turn. I would pay extra for that.

x-com was my favorite game growing up. i always wanted this game revisited.

Side note, when going to film school, I thought of doing an x-com tv series. I thought it’d be a great basis for a show. ah, well. dreams die for a reason.

lol – but surely almost 20 years on you’re DEFINITELY too old for the new XCom?

Hmm, I’m excited about this game but the producer never having played the original and never playing PC games now makes me pretty concerned about it. I’m just hoping that the love for XCom the Designer obviously has for the game shines through!

Please – let’s have a decent XCom remake!!!!!

As much as I’d love to follow your order to buy and play the game, I fear I will not.
Simply because they did NOT convince me it’s going to be a worthy reimagining of the original XCom….in fact they did quite the contrary.

This is going to be just another steamlined destruction of a popular franchise.
I don’t mean to be rude, but come on…”I’ve been a huge tactical turn based fan all my live, but I never got into PC games”?
How can you be a _huge_ tactical turn based game fan without for _all your live_ without having played XCom?
And he found the learning curve to be too steep?

Come on…

Statements like these, and the way the questions were (not, mostly) answered just leave me no choice but to believe that this is going to be just another greed-driven wallet-emptier.

I hope I’m wrong…

agreed i think most people have a habit of thinking of the worst multiplatform titles that dumb everything down to work on all platforms to save themselves time, rather than tweaking each platform release to play to their own strengths

Something in that vein, but what I was mostly reffering to was how limiting it feels.

The “special” abilites are tied to a class as far as I can see. Only heavies can do X. Only snipers can grapple. Only scouts can dash.
It is LESS freedom, as much as the devs say otherwise.

Welp time to start skipping meals to save up money to get this game.

to be honest, i never played an X-com game because i was never that much attracted to tactical strategy games. I played silent storm and Gorky 17 for a few hours and thats it. But this remake looks very interesting.
