An interesting read, SV. 
Not having all the answers can be a positive thing. Just as long as such indefinition isn't an excuse for not caring about the loose ends left about.
Plot holes you can incidentally always drive a truck through will ruin any illusion of a complex but coherent narrative.

Has the conspiracy started already? Last I checked August 20th is still Summer. In this dimension at least.

We spoke with the Lead Narrative Designer on the project, Erik Caponi, about what players can expect when The Bureau: XCOM Declassified arrives this fall.

So, skimming through this, The Bureau is now an RPG with a multi branching storyline?

NKF - finally built a gaming PC in 2020 (though not any of that RGB nonsense). Can now play games up to '89!

Agree, Thor. And it would seem so, NKF. I like branching stuff, though it is pointless if it does not affect gameplay, preferrably the ending.

Ok - so XCOM evolved from TB to Space Arcade Shooter (Interceptor) to Third Person Shooter (Enforcer), we also "have" FPS (Alliance), now we have RPG Tactical Shooter.... I am only afraid that what next comes is XCOM MMO.... though I wouldn't mind an adventure game

There was this flash game - platform shooter - pretty old from somewhere 2006-2009... Can't find it though - Cybergirl or something like that - thought I saw it here in flash games topic but no.
Nevermind - found it
http://www.freeworld...ndex/cyborg.htm
Now I would definitely want that kind of platformer with X-Com theme

XCOM MMO? Sure, I'd play that! Sounds like a lot more fun than DDO. It better have a decent character generation screen tho. 
And it sure in heck better be F2P!

A soldier's death is never in vain if it makes the formula more plain.
A few dozen make a better case for refining that third decimal place.
They call me Zombie because I don't sleep, as I slowly struggle to climb this heap,
of corpses, data points, and trials, but from the top - I'll see for miles!

"Player agency and pacing come from optional missions — side quests, in RPG terms — available from within the base, and Caponi says that's what distinguishes The Bureau: XCOM Declassified from other shooters."
