After a phone conference took place about XCOM: Enemy Unknown, the motivation, actions and elements of the upcoming release became clear. The press was joined by Jake Solomen, lead designer, and Grath DeAnglies, lead producer, to answer their questions about the XCOM franchise. Some of the things that were most interesting about the conference was how XCOM: Enemy Unknown is said to connect with the modern gaming generation and console players.
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.
Phoenix point if I remember was created by the original xcom developer or something to that affect. I did try gears tactics some months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It's probably just me
It was, but it was really closer to the newer XCOM than the older ones. Gears Tactics was okay but was hard to get into knowing there probably wont be a sequel.
There are few things more gratifying in gaming than skillfully turning the tide of a conflict. And few genres provide as many opportunities to abruptly reverse the odds via skill and forethought as tactical strategy. To be sure, we are more often than not talking about turn-based tactical mobile games, specifically titles in line with the iconic landmark series (XCOM and Jagged Alliance) that made the genre a genre.
Some games age better than others. When a game is getting on in years, mods can help give the game a little push and make it worth playing again.
I have never played XCOM, i was born a year before the first one came out lol so its safe to say that the game may have been a bit above me hahaha
but anyway this seems like somthing i can get in to. I am a console gamer, i highly prefer my Xbox 360 and PS3. to have this PC game come out and impress me is pretty neat. Its not typical for me to play and thats why i want to play it.
I think I would actually prefer this on PC. Though I am glad they are making it available for everyone.
Next week will be awesome with this and Dishonored.
Civ Rev convinced me that Firaxis is perfectly capable of doing turn-based strategy right on the consoles, so XCOM should deliver the goods regardless of which platform you play it on.
This game looks like it runs super smooth with high polish.
