Gaming Union: E3 2010: XCOM First Look

While visiting 2K's booth at E3 2010, we had the good fortune to check out XCOM behind closed doors. It's definitely a change from the original games, as it's played entirely in first-person. It also takes place far before any of the past games, which were set at the turn of the Millennium, while XCOM occurs during the 1950s. With these changes, a new developer, and a new generation of technology, will XCOM stay true enough to the originals to maintain its fan base?

I loved X-Com back in the day, I hope this game is faithful to that.

It's not really but the game is shaping up surprisingly well as a novel shooter.

Hardedge5478d ago

This sounds pretty interesting, hope it doesn't disappoint.

somekyle5478d ago

hmm, not really living up to my hopes

jammers5478d ago

I just hope this doesn't turn out to be a boring Bioshock clone like what the footage suggests so far.

XCOM was one of the greatest games of it's time, and I'm not really sure if they can even hope to recreate that awesomeness in modern times

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
