Siliconera: XCOM, the 2012 reboot from Bioshock developer 2K Marin, is a first person shooter with tactical elements. Time units are still in the game, but work differently.

You can sellotape horse shoes to a ferret but you still can't ride it through town.

Another classic raped into conformity in the name of sales, I weep for our loss.

Emilio_Estevez5112d ago

No idea what that is supposed to mean, but I get what your trying to say. Should be interesting to see how this goes.

solar5112d ago

this man hit the whack a mole on the head. we have already seen what can happen with old school game switching prespectives: Fallout.

VampiricDragon5112d ago

because they dont care about xcom thats why

The same reason why front mission evolved wasnt scrapped

Is this game still exclusive to X360 and PC ?

DaCajun5112d ago

How can something be exclusive if it's on 2 platforms? LMAO

2-Dimensional thinking?

lelo2play5112d ago (Edited 5112d ago )

Oh boy... why didn't you just answer the question instead of being an ***?

Let me rephrase. Is it going to be released only for the PC and X360... or also going to be released on the WiiU, Wii, DS, 3DS, PS3, PS2, PSP, PSVita, Mac OS or Linux?

NateCole5112d ago

Its coming to the PS3 as well. Confirmed at E3.

They probably agreed to switch the perspective since the last 3 or 4 X-Com games were not good.

I think everyone is just remembering the FIRST X-Com game, which was awesome. All the sequels were pretty bad. This will just be another bad sequel, although from another perspective and hopefully not as frustrating.

IMO the terrible sequels ruined the "legacy" - in truth there was only ever ONE good X-Com game out of the 4 or 5 they've made so far.

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.

gangsta_red1251d ago

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
