Bomb Bloke Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I don't think we've had any PC screenshots yet, have we? I guess the idea with the button is that you choose where the scan'll be performed. Which sounds silly. Can't think of any justification for it, unless you have to pay on a per-scan basis. If there's no cost, wouldn't it be expected that you'd have someone doing scans for you all the times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ruivoml Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 The entire "scan by sattelite" concept is bad in my opinion. Like someone else mentioned, the last thing X-Com has while dealing with aliens is air-superiority. This isn't streamlining, its just a silly idea. I wish they would re-consider. More screens: https://i.minus.com/ibZBEtRkSzrS5.jpghttps://i.minus.com/ibcr8Qvf4l6A0g.jpghttps://i.haymarket.net.au/Galleries/201201..._ShotHUD_03.jpg Some things i noticed.. The "squareboxes" over the aliens and soldiers? That's the HP. Notice how the Daniel Taylor guy has 6/6 HP? He is the same guy featured in the first screenshot with 6 boxes above him.

Ruivoml Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 About the UI, one of the moderators in the 2K forums confirmed to me that it will indeed be based off of the DA:O UI, in the sense that both the PC and consoles will have the same UI graphic-wise, but the PC one will have added functionalities. So no "Press Y to do this" or "LB/RB to do that" on PC version. And an updated screenshot: https://img85.imageshack.us/img85/7147/1325804242985.jpg Hahha no not really.. but i'm surprised nobody called for that hairstyle yet.

Pete Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 In fact if the aliens aren't too hot on human physiology and they only roughly know what a head is, then having big hear could increase your chances of survival if they mistakenly aim for it. Big hair could save your life when the invasion comes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowBlade Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Seems the Sectoids are really feeling the weight of their heads this time around. I'm kinda worried the guy only has 61% to-hit against one of the aliens so close. Maybe it's because of the target's cover? Or maybe the LMG has some kind of ingrained auto shot? I hope they don't make me miss shot variety: I know the move-action system changes things, but there IS still room for two shot types: aimed and auto. Auto was generally the desperate answer in close quarters, when you weren't sure a single shot would take the enemy down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Or maybe the LMG has some kind of ingrained auto shot? LMG's typically don't have fire selectors, they're fully automatic and that's yer lot. Can reduce to-hit chance, then, and also looks like it reduces the critical hit chance, as you're hosing a target down rather than aiming for the head/heart/etc. I'm wondering about the colour of the LMG, and how the forward quarter (barrel and foregrip) is a different colour. Ammo indicator? Heat indicator? 'Peace through superior hairdos" hehehehe I seem to remember Guile did fight in a war... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBlade Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 I meant gameplay-wise. The "Shot" might be a single attack that either hits or misses, independently of whether the animation shows several rounds being fired. Or it might be something closer to the old games, and entail a handful of mechanically different shots, all with the same but separate to-hit. Meaning the target could get hit multiple times with a single attack, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Ah, I see. As it says "this shot will do up to 5 damage" I'm guessing it will be a burst with bullet hits counted individually? So several may miss so you only end up causing say 3 damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
