Gaming Blend "2K released a lot more info on the upcoming XCOM for the current generation gaming platforms and sadly it's generally nothing like the original X-Com...and that's not necessarily for the best."
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.
thanks for clarifying the obvious....
get over it
that sucks.
I mean, I think most people who have a memory of playing the originals understood that the chances of them creating something even remotely like them was about as likely as a politician telling the truth, it's still a bummer to hear.
Recreating that for a console audience, would be like giving a TI86 calculator to a snail and expecting it to graph a function. It sounds good in theory, but the snail just doesn't have the thumbs...
I thought this was a 360 exclusive? its tagged under ps3 as well. did i miss something?
