Greg Bargas of GAMINGtruth follows up with a talk during GDC from Greg Foertsch, Project Art Director Firaxis Games. There, a never before seen trailer for XCOM was shown.
"During the Game Developers Conference (GDC) in San Francisco, Calif., many designers, engineers, artists and otherwise ventured out for inspiration, networking or the general job hunt. Among the busyness of the conference, many talks are held for all aspects of the industry itself. Such as implementing humor in Borderlands 2, to hearing the low-down on sound engineering for your would-be video game creation, there are a lot of talks filling almost every meeting hall. One of which I had the opportunity to attend was ’Art Direction Autopsy: XCOM: Enemy Unknown.’ Like many out there, studios with large-scale publishers still start with the most basic of approaches to launch a games development cycle."
XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.
If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.
Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.
Today Take-Two Interactive Software announced new sales figures for Red Dead Redemption 2 and Grand Theft Auto V during its quarterly financial conference call. They also teased the future of Firaxis.
I wonder why EA never made a GTA clone considering they bought so many game developers and have so many licenses
Rather have GTA 6 instead of milking the same game since 2013
Nobody expected a new XCOM game getting announced for this year, and released so quick. And with quite radical changes, developer Firaxis has to temper expectations by stating it’s a spin-off, and it’s sold for cheap.
Like an FBI raid squad, XCOM Chimera Squad kicked opened the doors hard, and hits you strong and fast.
XCOM is definitely one of those games I need to have in my library. Thanks for the feature!
