New XCOM Trailer

[Sir_Brizz]

IGN posts our first peek at the upcoming XCOM shooter built on UE3. As a non-player of the original XCOM games (mostly because I find TBS extremely boring), I think the trailer makes the gameplay look interesting and intense. The trailer has nice music and the game has a unique graphical look that is slightly similar to Bioshock. What do you think?

I like the art style, but I'm not sure how much fun can be had shooting fluctuating, sentient, oil blobs.

Looks like BioShock.

That is, boring.

I think the time period and the gameplay look pretty cool

TBS? Sorry did some searching but coming up blank. I know I'll do a facepalm when you tell me.

Well, it looks better than that initial 'screenshot', but I'm not entirely convinced about the gameplay.

Does look interesting and I really like the art style. I'll be keeping an eye on this one!

xcom should be set in 1999 not gayboy 50s or 60s and not limited to the north American continent either

An X-Com shooter just can't be good. Besides, how can it be X-Com if the game is set in the middle of 20th century where X-Com hasn't even been founded yet? Looks like a cheap Bioshock reskin. I can already imagine the research is replaced by some gimmick like the camera in Bioshock. All in all, this trailer, the art style and the enemies in the trailer make me feel so bad

*FACEPALM!*

Thanks, should have thought of that.

It doesn't say it's limited to USA, only that some of the missions are there. Although I agree that it's highly likely that all of the missions will be there. Ah well, it would be interesting to see other countries none the less.

Judging you from your posts on this forum you should feel warm and confortable in that setting.
