UFO Aftermatch

Post by Faram »

Goody!

Comming soon can't wait really.

Squad based games are my favs. I still play Jagged Alliance 2 now and then (no not the horrible expansion...)

And X-Com is up there among my favs ever, hell I keep my PSOne just to play it :)

Looks good. Kind of like an updated X-Com, like you mentioned.

Does it still have base management? I remember reading something about it a few months back, and the article mentioned that it didn't :(

Oh, how much I'd give for X-Com with graphics that would show your men acting like REAL SOLDIERS, not buttplug-treated dorks!

Even if they were only on par with, say, JA2, I'd be happy.

I have my doubts, personally. The graphics look bland, the base management/interception part is stripped down to a shadow of what UFO was. The only hope is the combat system. It better be enough to save it, but I hear the game's already been reviewed by a few of the lesser known sites and hasn't received excellent grades, IIRC.

This looks pretty bad, to be honest. And if the resource management has been marginalized, then the point of it being called X-Com in the first place is debatable.
