Bomb Bloke Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 While still in development, this open-source remake of UFO: Enemy Unknown is quickly shaping up to be a faithful replica of the original product. Here Space Voyager interviews the project founder, SupSuper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SGCSG1 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 There are two problems with these 'fan based' things. One, they never get finished. Two, they always ramp the difficulty up to ridiculous levels. Sigh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman4117 Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Yes. This is most excellent. I can play it natively on my system just like the good old days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be optimistic I've got a good feeling about it getting finished and I don't see why the difficulty would be different of the original one. In contrary, all bugs of the original one that made it more difficult will be gone. Daiky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tom Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I would really like to see the "Ufo The Two Sides" game put its reworked graphics under an open source licence (Creative Commons, CC-BY-NC for example) so that they can be reused inside OpenXCOM ! So you could play with all the goodies of the original XCOM with modern graphics ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Voyager Posted May 27, 2011 Report Share Posted May 27, 2011 I agree, that would be pretty nice! Also it would allow OpenXcom to be stand-alone. SupSuper's goal is recreation of the original (minus flaws) so IMO original art is probably obligatory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Voyager Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I was... recently... reminded that there is a video of openXcom testing on YT. Looks just like the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
