First person shooter. However it does seem to follow the old formula of study the aliens.

Well they did do a good job on The bioshock series so I am kind of hopeful.

Looks pretty damn interesting.

I tried some of the old Xcom games back when i had win 95/98

i failed at them, Might actually get somewhere with this new one being a FPS.

Been reading that theres also another XCOM game coming out very much like the old games, That should keep the fanboys happy who dislike the new game's direction

Developers turned Shadowrun into a FPS and it was an epic failure.
Now pricks wanna take away the glorious turn-based strategy formula and do the same.
Why can't they just make a FPS game without using this license? The only people who remember XCOM are the retro fans and ex-players and they have no need to respond to the change positively. Many will outright complain.
My problem with this is this will hinder an actual decent remake if the game flops. Just like ShadowRun which could've been the coolest MMO game ever. This just sucks.

I'm a huge X-Com fan, I actually still play the old PS1 game on my PS3. Not sure I'm liking the FPS thing though, but I'll probably give it a go. The charm of the old game was the time units, and strategy used in order to resolve missions. I wonder if the new game will have fusion tech like the old games, I used to love blowing half of the battlefield up with that fusion tracking cannon.
