Forums - Gaming - XCOM: Enemy Unknown (RTS) Announced

@spurgeonryan TBS = turn based strategy, i.e the only real strategy genre as most so-called strategy games are really click-fest action games posing as strategy.

As I said earlier, XCOM is consistently picked for all time top 10 lists. Personally, I put this at number 1 all-time. 2 other games from the same publisher, microprose, Master of Magic and Master of Orion would also be top 5 all time. All three games were released within 18 months or so of each other in 93-94. Such a glorious time for gamers as Doom and Doom II as well tons of others were release in 93-94.

Why change it to RTS? Keep it TBS.

Pretty sure it is.  The article says the battles are turnbased.  

Haven't played much of it, but as aI remember that's how X-com was.  RTS in the overview map and Turnbased on the "field".



Crap and here i was going to create "Forget about the pseudo"X-com" shit real UFO is comming" thread

F*ck yeah! But i'm worried it will be made too easy.. The original X-com was rockhard... Loved that.. Still have nightmares of the terror missions.. You would land your craft and your men would be dead with the first step outside.. Nowadays games aren't like that anymore..



 

Face the future.. Gamecenter ID: nikkom_nl (oh no he didn't!!) 

fk yea! this is what they should have announced in the first place, stupid FPS pu-lease...

Man Xenonauts and this it's a good time to be a X-Com fan.

 

Oh and the origonal games are on sale on Steam and Gamersgate.

And lastly the missleading (RTS) should be removed from the title.

Shitty title, this isn't an RTS.

This is neat. I liked the original a lot.

However, Since, this isn't made by the same people. It could still completely fail (and even if it was made by the same people it could fail too).

this applies to all games, but the phrase "what made the franchise great" is often times different to various people, including the creators.

But, there's not a a lot of games like this coming out anymore. So I hope it will be good.
