New XCOM Video

[Henriot]

i prefer the other XCOM the first person shooter one now that one looked interesting

Hehe... I read David's post and thought "Yeah, ok, I disagree but I respct your opinion" but I have to admit, I'm greatly appreciative of this response.

My take on Chrysalids; most of the time they weren't a major problem if you played it slow and careful, but once or twice they'd slip in a little too close and completely destroy chunks of your squad. Especially in dark corridors.

Argh! Need money! First time I've really hung out for a game's release in many years. And those Steam preorder extras actually look appealing.

So wait...this isn't that FPS XCOM game?

What happened to that, then?

Nobody has heard from it in months. In fact, all the recent XCOM threads on this forum have been about the TBS one, nobody is even mentioning the FPS anymore.

I'm guessing it's still quietly in development; it's just that 2k is waiting for the TBS to come out first due to the tons of negative feedback regarding the FPS when it was first announced. That way, they revive the franchise with the TBS and then come out with a spinoff/prequel FPS.

For some reason, this game was billed as a FPS? But it clearly is a TBS.

Did I confuse this game with another thats coming out?

Anyway, extremely pleasantly surprised by that video and I will be preordering once I get paid XD

From what i've seen, the console controls work really well, with just enough "snap-to" to stop the cursor being too fiddly.
