The first details and screenshots of Firaxis upcoming XCOM remake.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown rebooted the series back in 2012, and has since inspired numerous new strategy game series to be born.
If someone gets into this I'd recommend getting the enemy within version. It's got all the dlc included so it's the better version. Wish the author would've atleast mentioned it. I didn't see it.
Fantastic game though. Xcom 2 is top notch also. I've spent countless hours in these games.
Phoenix point if I remember was created by the original xcom developer or something to that affect. I did try gears tactics some months ago and I just couldn't get into it. It's probably just me
It was, but it was really closer to the newer XCOM than the older ones. Gears Tactics was okay but was hard to get into knowing there probably wont be a sequel.
There are few things more gratifying in gaming than skillfully turning the tide of a conflict. And few genres provide as many opportunities to abruptly reverse the odds via skill and forethought as tactical strategy. To be sure, we are more often than not talking about turn-based tactical mobile games, specifically titles in line with the iconic landmark series (XCOM and Jagged Alliance) that made the genre a genre.
Some games age better than others. When a game is getting on in years, mods can help give the game a little push and make it worth playing again.

hmm... seems on a whole to be very faithful to the original in concept. I will be curious to see how they "streamline" things. I am guessing that the micromanagement of training and outfitting of soldiers may get a remake. Class based will get automatic build outs and refills...unlike the first game where you managed all that.
Looking good, may well be the best xcom ever.
Excellent base management screen.
The in-game combat looks...interesting.
More news!
And a statement that the fps acts as a prequel to 'this' re-imagining, rather than the original. I don't know if I like that, cus the aliens in the fps look crap.
Many games have tried to remake XCOM, UFO:Aftermath for example and have failed. Firaxis is certainly a good name but whether they will deliver remains to be seen. The squad visuals kind of leave me a bit cold, it looks pretty outdated and generic to be honest. And while I don't mind streamlining, I wonder whether they will add some new and interesting game mechanics as well . . .
