XCOM E3 2011 Preview: You Got Your Mass Effect in My BioShock [MovieStinger]

MovieStinger: "With the original game that was released back in 1994 often being referred to as one of the best PC games of all time and five other games being released over the past 17 years, it’s strange that most people have still never heard of the XCOM series. The extraterrestrial invasion cult classic is now getting a complete reboot with 2K Games bringing the PC game to consoles and switching the game from a real-time strategy to a first-person shooter with role-playing elements. We got a chance to preview the latest XCOM game at this year’s E3, and we can’t wait for this alien invasion."

The more I see of this game, the more I wish they'd just drop the XCOM name, because XCOM it effing well aint.

ImSoHeavy5129d ago

Yeah, it's weird that they're calling it XCOM. It's so different than the original and geared towards a wider audience who has no idea what XCOM is. Not sure why they're trying to bank on the XCOM name that isn't even known amongst both hardcore and casual gamers and only has a cult following.

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
