I love the old X-com games, devoted many hours to terror from the deep and apocalypse. It's a shame they aren't continuing the turn based stratedy that made those games awesome to me. Don't think I'll be buying the new X-com unless its something REALLY special just out of respect for the old classics.

I don't even understand why they had to use the Xcom brand? It just seems like pointless raping of an established and popular IP in the hopes of carrying that audience into the new game. Plus why have they dropped the hyphen?

Also the sound goes off in the video half way through for me :-\

This game looks retarded. After the abomination of Bioshock 2, and the fact that they turned X-COM into ANOTHER SHOOTER (seriously, what the hell, ugh) I have absolutely no interest in this game. This isn't a "reinvention", it's a completely different game with a completely different storyline, why would they even bother calling it X-COM? Why not just make it a new IP? No one would know the difference.

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
