Thorondor Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 XCOM Enemy UnknownIt's confirmed - XCOM: Enemy Unknown will have multiplayer. We've long wondered if this hugely anticipated game would have that facet built-in, and now Firaxis, by means of Lead Designer Mr. Jake Solomon has come out to say it with all the words, and with details.https://www.strategycore.co.uk/site/assets/files/5213/news-thumbnail_xcom_eu_berserker_meets_sectoid.jpg Here's a snippet from the Eurogamer article where the full disclosure is made: "It's one of those fantasies," Solomon counters. "You played the original, it was always this fantasy to play as the aliens. Now, generally, the fantasy encompasses a game where you're aliens invading earth. But that has never appealed to me - I don't know that would actually be that fun to play. So this is one way to fulfil that fantasy. You can play as the Sectoid. You can play as all these different alien creatures. I don't know that from the very beginning we knew exactly what multiplayer was going to be, but it was something I absolutely wanted." Beyond the juicy details there are also some screenshots there too for extra evidence. Special thanks go to Kret at our forums for being a team player and relaying this intel our way.

Pete Posted August 10, 2012 Report Share Posted August 10, 2012 I dunno, I'd quite like to play as the aliens invading earth. It would have to be a smaller alien force or governed by some form of alien economics otherwise I'd be sending the battleships and Ethereals in on day 1 though... actually I now instantly understand what he means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it might be something like this or maybe like UFO2000. Thorondor fix the new please - the link doesn't work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoXTheRoXStaR Posted August 12, 2012 Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 YAAA! Does anyone know when the next Q&A session with Firaxis is going to be? Seriously? I have about 10 pages worth of questions I'd like to ask them. Thor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
