While much of what’s to be revealed on XCOM: Enemy Unknown is still, for lack of a better work, unknown, a history of RTS games like XCOM, reveals some insights on the next evolution this new RTS version of the game could make.
With E3 starting next week, 2K Games revealed the biggest E3 line up they have for the year
Only game iam waiting for is for mafia 2 nothing else intrest me well only Metal gear solid peace walkers but ill get that soon
nice. waiting to see what mafia 2 and spec ops the line has too offer. not into rts games, so civ 5 not for me, and not too familiar with x-com series.
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.
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
This article is interesting, but the author needs to understand that "RTS" means "real time strategy". X-COM is not an RTS. It is a turn-based tactical game. It has more in common with Jagged Alliance, Disgaea, and Final Fantasy Tactics than it has in common with RTSs like Starcraft and Age of Empires.
This has quickly jumped to top of my wish list. After being disgusted with the fps reboot im pretty excited about a game that doesn't require constant attention and twitch reflexes(I'm old). Loved the original back in the day.
Why is this being referred to as an RTS? I'm guessing people that write these articles haven't actually played the game.
