People are still guessing? Its already been confirmed as X-Com has it not?:

Even the posters look lame.

Some of the guesses in this thread don't even make sense. The Elder Scrolls? That series hasn't even been cancelled yet so how can it make a return!? Half Life 3? [JD]Crrrrraaazy[/JD]

Never played the original Xcom, should I be excited for this title much? Not sure how good a franchise it is or what it's even about really but if I don't get answers I'll just wiki it anyway.

You've got just about as much idea as we do of it's quality then. The original Xcoms were turn based strategy games, this will be a first person shooter.

This is also not being developed by the same company that developed the original Xcoms. It is being developed by the guys who made Bioshock 2, no one in that team had anything to do with the development of Xcom.

The only thing that relates this game to the Xcom games is its name, there will be nothing about it that's similar.

I'm sure it'll be set in the same world still unless it's like final fantasy where it's just name sakes. I guess with that many changes though no one will know if it'll be good or not but at least the bioshock 2 guys should be good enough a company for me to have some faith in it. I'll just wait on the reviews then :p
 
I thought Bioshock 2 was rubbish tbh, especially considering they had all the excellent material from Bioshock 1 (which wasn't made by them) to work with. But hey ho, i have no hope for this. I do want to be proven wrong though.
 
Anyone had the opportunity to look in to the X-Com shooter? Is there anything remotely X-Com about it? Any base construction, research, anything at all? I've got this cold feeling that they're gonna slap an X-Com sticker on to what'll turn out to be just another shooter.
 
Why would there be base construction? It's an FPS with the X-COM name, all I would expect to remain is possibly some weapons and some alien species.
 
Xcom was a bona fide classic so in theory that is great but it also seemed pretty unique to me and unlikely to be duplicated now easily

As an fps ? No that'll be completely different, maybe if it were like max payne that'd work

why cant they remake xcom like it should be a turn based strategy, not some POS FPS

Because the vast majority of people are thick and don't want to think while playing? :p It's happend to Front Mission, which is a turn based Strategy RPG, now they have turned it into some 3rd person mech shooter (similar to Armored Core) to appeal to western audiences.
 
Sorry but has it been announced yet :o?

If not, Timesplitters please, but wasnt this a playstation only game? or did it go to xbox as well?
