XCOM FPS Pushed to 2013

The XCOM FPS that was expected to come out this year has now been pushed to an unknown date in 2013.

Now that there's an actual Xcom game coming, not just a FPS trying to exploit the name, I get the feeling this one is just going away.

xtremexx4493d ago

i think they did it so that the fps wouldnt just fail catastrophically.

Vladplaya4493d ago

Pretty sure it will fail either way, no one really cares about some generic fps FPS with xcom in its name, specially when from the videos it looks pretty pathetic.

ThirstyforFanta4493d ago

@Vladplaya, I care and I'm sure others care too.
The video looked awesome

I thought the game looked like it might be a decent story driven FPS the likes of Bioshock. I would hate to see is disappear. But being an strategy genre fan.. yeah.. give me a real XCOM game.

BillytheAlien4493d ago

Why make it a FPS, if they wanted to do a differen't XCOM type of game at least they should of made a third person shooter. FPS are way over done these days

I've been dying to get this for nearly 2 years. This sucks and it's a kick in the balls to delay for nearly a year. I'll still get this day 1 and Enemy Unknown as well. They both look like amazing games to me.

I must be from another world because what I saw was a pearl unfurl from a dormant and curled position. It was unlike most of what I've seen from the FPS scene, it seemed to lean into a somewhat clean and strategic gleam, which I must say is interesting. I don't understand the hate so selective of the first person perspective when it's only reflective of the camera, which I should say can be very affective depending on the developer's objective.

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

10 Games Like XCOM You Should Check Out

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.
