I'm definitely excited about this one, in fact it's the second game I've ever pre-ordered! Loving the look of the tactical combat.

I don't know what all this talk about an FPS version is though. No one would ever do such a silly thing as to use the XCom name like that.

So excited for this. Pre-ordered and everything. I haven't even played the original, although it looks good.

I want this so hard.
But I've spent my game budget for the rest of the year.

I'm also really amused by how crestfallen the narrator is at having lost kit-kat chunky in the third video.

Really interesting "New Xcom vs X-Com" by joystiq:

http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/13/video-from-x-com-to-xcom/

also gives a sample of Michael McCann(of Deus Ex:HR fame) battle music, making both the video and the game in which it will feature 5 billion percent cooler.

I am pretty excited for X-COM: Enemy Unknown. I plan to pick it up on October 9th. I have no idea what I am going to name my soldiers yet.

I always named my soldiers after co-workers in the original X-Com. When I ran out, I used their pets.

I would often run out of those, too.

X-Com.

Yes I am excited. I haven't ever played a single X-Com game before, but it doesn't matter - this game looks absolutely amazing. Day one buy, if I'm not busy. To be honest, the games i'll be playing in October (Dishonored, X-Com: Enemy Unknown) might trump even this month's awesome releases (Borderlands 2, Torchlight 2.)

I was interested until you said it was xbox. Oh dear.

OT: Hell yes. I was too young to play the original, though I had a little go at Apocalypse, which I sucked at but loved. I'm super excited to play this, though I'll probably just nick my dad's copy. xD

I've never played XCOM but Enemy Unknown looks fantastic. I imagine I'll be preordering it myself.

My favourite of the lot was the Joystiq Preview [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjqdCl-H_bw] mission, "That one was for you!.. Whatever your name was..." Rookies make great Sectoid fodder apparently.

Guardedly optimistic about the new XCOM.

The original XCOM was great, but it also had many flaws: a clumsily scripted escalation of the conflict and some serious bugs, like a difficulty setting that only worked for the first mission. Poor weapon progression didn't help either as the cheap and early laser rifle was king in most combat scenarios.

So the new game may become better still. Then again Jagged Alliance 2 is where it's really at.
