Think Obsidian but with less fucking up something that already has been made before.

FPS? Forget it. X-Com was best when it was a turn based tactical game.

This.
I did love this game when I was younger though so if it does come out I would probably still buy it.
-
I just bought the entire XCOM collection on Steam like 3 months ago. Still fun.

lul wut am xcom

SCEPTICISM ALERT
I do not believe in miracles. I doubt after the series of average X-COM games we will suddenly get an above average X-COM fps.
-
the original is still the best

XCOM trailer is out. Here's my initial thoughts.
-
I like the suggested setting of the 50's or 60's, that offers a really unique view of the series and gives the humans a more primitive feel.
-
If all of the aliens are so intangible, rather than little green men (etc), it seems more likely to be a horror game.
-
I'm concerned every facet of strategy and research is going to be gone.
-
What is it with beloved series being adopted after 10-15 years only to have its guts torn out and turned into a boring first person shooter these days?
-
I don't mind this have an FPS aspect, in the battlescape, but there still needs to be some form of geo-scape (perhaps one you access by walking around your base in first person; overseeing research and manufacturing, and looking at maps of activity, etc) as well as some basic control of your squad.

That isn't XCOM.
Sigh, I was looking forward to an awesome sandbox strategy game. If it turns out to be a sort of mission-based romp as I suspect it will, then that really is disappointing.
-
To tell the truth, looking at that trailer, it might be a fun game, but it's completely not what X-Com used to be.
So far I can see only one type of Alien, which also, yes, does seem kind of creepy and dangerous, in relation to what was present in Enemy Unknown, Etherals being a true Nemesis, it only left me with one statement "Goo?".
I do hope once they do reveal a bit more in the coming months, I will be left with something a bit more than a bix mix of feelings.

Are you sure that’s meant to be a new X-COM game? I didn’t see anything that had any connection to X-COM in the trailer!
They could at least had a X-COM ship land and a bunch of soldiers pile out in Power armour firing heavy cannons and lasers! Not sure why its set in 50-60’s!
I give it an E for effort as a FPS, and an F as an X-COM game!

People all cried about fallout3 too and that is a pretty good game on its own.
I didn't care for the bioshocks, but this might still be fun.Also XCOM is pretty boring, you just give everyone a flying suit and heavy plasma and repeat missions until you win.

Pfft but it takes awhile to get Flying Suits. Plus you have to deal with mind control. Also the tactical side is fun; having a sniper unit, a heavy, Point, and Commander. Where as giving everyone a heavy plasma slows them down big time!
Anyways >_> Not like I'd buy it either way.
