NKF Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 Sheer laziness - they don't want to bother rendering the ultra-cool disembodied floating hand-with-big-gun. Hopefully they give you a 1st person view, scope or over-the-shoulder views for precision attacks. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecthel013 Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 Is that a Sectoid and Cyberdisk (both look like the Firaxis version to me) at the very right of the second image? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted April 28, 2013 Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 No, this game should not feature our famous aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 I don't see why not, as it is the beginnings of X-COM. Same franchise, same aliens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Voyager Posted April 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2013 im not sold on this. feels like a lame attempt to cash in on the real xcoms popularity.... Essentially I agree with you, though X-COM has been almost everything since its beginning. If a game is done right, it can add to the popularity, no matter what genre it is. Naturally, TBS is what I love most seeing X-COM as.Hmmm, I wonder if this last sentence was grammatically correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted April 29, 2013 Report Share Posted April 29, 2013 X-Com ala Mafioso gangsters. I like it. I don't see why not, as it is the beginnings of X-COM. Same franchise, same aliens. I seem recall it was part of 2k Marin's philosophy early on that they were quite adamant on not using the same aliens that we've come to know and love to hate, and instead go for whole new aliens. Personally, I feel that you can have all the fancy new Starcrafty aliens you want, but you've got to have the one connecting element, even if only in narrative. The Sectoids. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
