Dave Stewart of Spawn Kill relates his look at a behind-the-scenes demo of 2K games upcoming re-imagining of classic strategy series XCOM. The game is shaping up nicely and bears many striking similarities to its spiritual cousin BioShock. Read on for details about the demo.
With E3 starting next week, 2K Games revealed the biggest E3 line up they have for the year

COG: A group of industry veterans from the XCOM franchise have teamed up to launch the new turned-based tactics studio Bit Reactor.
From the *new* Xcom franchise. The original was developed by Julian Gollop and Mythos games. He is currently in charge of Snapshot games and his latest take on Xcom was Phoenix Point.
I'm all for more tactics games. played Phoenix Point on Game Pass (ended up purchasing it), it's good...but doesn't have that same XCOM 2 feeling. Would love to see what these guys have to offer
Due to Firaxis’ overall success with the reimagined XCOM series, the XCOM name has become a catchall term for tactical role-playing games in general, which is unfair to the entirety of that subset of games.
The original 1994 Xcom is the one all others are compared to not the fireaxis version. It's also still the best.
Wasn't E3 last week?
Hm... The trailers made it seem a lot more... unique than the actual demo did, I'm not sure I feel the same about it really though I definitely got that BioShock vibe you were feeling, what with the time period and similar gameplay style/HUD.
If it's anything like Bioshock, I am uninterested.
