Currently, the game is developed with the current minimum requirements in mind : Pentium III 500 MHz 64 MB RAM GeForce video card with minimum 16 MB onboard RAM DirectX 7 and OpenGL compatible hardware Suggested system for optimum performance is : Pentium III 1 GHz 256 MB RAM GeForce 3 with 64 MB onboard RAM i just about make the min about from video card im not sure... but i think it would be better with the suggested

the official website is here but also there is a fan site with quite a bit of information (Good FAQ) which is here its set to come out sometime this year if i remember.. and yes it shall be a definate game to buy for me (as long as a get a new pc...), but i dont think i will give up the original x-com stuff

from the screenshots i have seen, it seems that inner city missions are included, and these were in a rubble post-apocalypse style, so im not sure how effective vehicles would be, but it would be nice to have some sort of apc like in aliens haha also the game is all spiny-rotaty view (TM ) so it will be nice and easy to get all angled views of possible grenades and stuff on the floor (I always found that going by far walls in enemy unknown i wouldnt spot alien grenades thrown against them )

im afraid to say i dont think they are having vehicles and i think that means no tanks as well as no civilian vehicles :/ and also i think that the people you recruit are specialists in areas (EG sniper, engineer etc) which could be cool in that it would be easier to establish a team of different characteristics.. I think also some missions depend on you having the right person on the team, but probably just harder than normal not using a specialist

aftermath is sounding quite good... similar to a modern (well, relatively) remake of the UFO games.. the weapons are going to be real ones, rather than just "rifle" etc they have mp5s, AK-47's etc as well as complete alien guns and hybrid guns. I think i read somewhere that the story behind it was an alien virus spread over the world? gameplay wise it sounds as though you push forward with missions and build small bases as a defense for what you can conquered over the aliens, although im not sure what sort of scale this will be on (the whole world, just one country etc..)

i think this idea is being used in aftermath? although on a smaller scale - eaerth being taken over by alien scumbags and its up to you and a small team to rebel

Does anybody know of a UK site that sells UFO or that box set from chips n bits? its just that shipping is pretty high and i have a craving to play (I had enemy unknown on my amiga A600 ) thanks in advance - Bum
