2K unveils the long-awaited reboot of the X-Com series, but it's not a tactical, squad-based strategy game. Unlike Bethesda's Fallout 3, the new XCOM seems to miss everything that made the original great.
With E3 starting next week, 2K Games revealed the biggest E3 line up they have for the year

COG: A group of industry veterans from the XCOM franchise have teamed up to launch the new turned-based tactics studio Bit Reactor.
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
Due to Firaxis’ overall success with the reimagined XCOM series, the XCOM name has become a catchall term for tactical role-playing games in general, which is unfair to the entirety of that subset of games.
The original 1994 Xcom is the one all others are compared to not the fireaxis version. It's also still the best.
I AM OUTRAGED that they removed the hyphen.
Hyphens!!

The only way an X-Com "shooter" could work is if the gameplay was done similar to Valkyria Chronicles. Combine that with an X-Com Geoscape and you'd quite possibly have a winner.
This? This reads like someone accidentally typed "Com" instead of "Files" when writing the press release. Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go work on my "re-imagining" of Ultima as a 2D puzzle platformer.
I am starting an online petition to bring back the Hyphen in XCOM. Who is with me?
