Gimli Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Looks very nice, but a bit too colourful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baby arm Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 It does look rather cartoony, but I like it. The important thing is that it's going to be turn-based, unlike some other X-Comish games I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praetoris Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 I've only seen the trailer and screenshots so far, but I'll have to admit I allready feel bored about it =/ But, I can't really judge anything until I get my hands on it. Let's hope for the best shall we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The important thing is that it's going to be turn-based, unlike some other X-Comish games I can think of.X-COM was rather cartoony, so I agree that it is not a bad thing. And in the end, if gameplay is good, who cares about graphics? (I still play Fallout, UFO: Enemy Unknown and Colonization once every couple of years ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arghis Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Well, the good thing with this trailer is that it is centered around ambiance. Also, i've seen in the screenshot that there must be more beautiful images / paintings to illustrate the game. i'm also a bit skeptical about the cartoony look, even if in the case of X-com it was well made, but if we can have a good IA, destroyable background and a nice story, well, that is more important.

Slaughter Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 Yeah, the atmosphere were fantastic in X-COM. The first X-COM I ever played was the TFTD demo. It was a mission in old ruins at the bottom of the sea, and the atmosphere was mid blowing! I wish the trailer had some gameplay in it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 So far, the only problem to me looks like it's way, way too bright. Fortunately, that is why God gave us the brightness/contrast controls on our monitors. Edit: I also love the design of the tanks, and I'm rather pleased with the design of the human armor as well. Depending on the bugs, I'll probably pick this game up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimli Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Hmm, maybe if they can cover it up a bit, like UFO did, it wouldn't be so noticeable. Though I don't mind the cartooniness myself, I was speaking about what usually players like (read brown/gray/black and their shades with a completely dark atmosphere). What UFO did, was to make the night darker, so it wasn't that obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digicode Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 ARG ! Need it ! Fine screen ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked_Lunch Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 I think the art direction and overall look of the game is fantastic, a bit cartoony with some grit thrown in, just like good ol' X-Com! Only thing that bugs me is that the portraits for the squad members look a bit goofy, but oh well, what can you do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorondor Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 There's now a UFO: Extraterrestrials interview available over at RPGDot. Enjoy :: (Spotted at Blue's News) Edit: "new" removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked_Lunch Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 That one's a bit older, I think. I posted it as news on Tcancer like, three days ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted February 26, 2006 Author Share Posted February 26, 2006 Hmm, seems I missed that one. Noticed a quote from it in the TCancer forums, but thought it was an older interview. Thanks for the heads up Thor! @Naked_Lunch: Yeah, the portraits could use a little work. Then again, if that is the worst that can be said, this should be an excellent game!

baby arm Posted February 26, 2006 Share Posted February 26, 2006 Agreed. If they get the TB combat right, they can use all the goofy portraits they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
