New X-com game shots...

Post by weemadando »

UFO Extraterrestrials screens

Wow. The old-school X-com look lives on. There may be hope yet.

Holy shit! I hope it's a worthy addition to the brilliant series.

It's an X-COM ripoff without the X-COM name, right?

Cool. It's not set on Earth though, which sucks.

I'm not convinced a visually unimpressive rehash of XCOM is really what the 21st century needs. ESPECIALLY if they don't address any of the longstanding 'features' like no crashsite bombardment, poor inventory, unsaveable loadouts, poor/nonexistent diplomacy/politics, etc. No auto-resolve. I mean, that other XCOM thing (the name of which slips my mind) improves. This looks exactly the same.

I'm also a 'turn-based is stupid' XCOM heathen :)

I would get excited about this, but I got excited about UFO:Aftermath, and its only redeeming feature was the laughable voice acting

"I whacked him off sir!!" isn't the best thing for the female squaddy to be saying when she kills someone

Okay, the only thing I remember about Aftermath is braineaters.

There, now I've reminded you all too. Back to therapy! :)
