This is for those who loves X-Com.

Why? Because...

X-COM is Back.



X-Com, the classic 90's turn-based strategy game pitting mankind against alien invaders, is set to make a comeback as a first-person shooter, courtesy of the 2K studios behind BioShock 2.

The game, which is actually called XCOM, is in development for the Xbox 360 and PC at 2K Australia and 2K Marin, and makes substantial changes to the original series, combining research and planning elements not with overhead, turn-based strategy sections, but with first-person shooter action.

"With BioShock 2, the team at 2K Marin proved themselves as masters of first-person, suspenseful storytelling, and with XCOM they will re-imagine and expand the rich lore of this revered franchise," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "Players will explore the world of XCOM from an immersive new perspective and experience firsthand the fear and tension of this gripping narrative ride."

It's funny, for years, people kept repeating the same rumour, that 2K Boston and Ken Levine would be making a new X-Com game. Don't think anyone expected it to come from 2K's other BioShock studio. Actually, I don't know if anyone honestly expected this at all.

who's raging?

Im raging.

Forgot to bold that.

hmm well i hope it will be gud.

i am too old for complex games i guess lol.

I am.

I want an update to the old XCom not a shooter.

There are enough shooters in the market. From shooting zombies, nazi, communists, monsters, aliens and etc.

they already try...but failed.....*look at UFO series*

UFO series suck at gameplay but good at story.

just wow, 1st its Enforcer (3rd person shooter) then come this FPS.

My thoughts exactly.

Next we gonna have Heroes 6 from first person.

heroes 6 : Total war? ....i like it...

Have you played Total War series before?

Total War series are definitely not shooters.

Then,we'll get Civilisation in First Person later on too.

Civilization 5 has been announced.

It's turn-based and it's gonna be a lot more complex than Civilization 4.

lol....heroes in FPS is a stupid idea, even i dont dare to think about it...

i thought already got a heroes of might and magic fps ?

messiah something.

Dark Messiah, actually quite a decent FPS although was buggy when it first released.

Anyway, I am tired of playing FPS. Same thing, run around shoot some people / alien / monsters with different weapons, take cover to heal, rinse and repeat.

another 'fall out' (3)
bleh!

Well 2 things are wrong here:
1 - Dark Messiah doesn't actually share anything with Might and Magic other than the fact they're in the same universe (Not even the same story even). It was a rather unnecessary use of the franchise.

2- The first one was actually this, which I actually tried before. It was... interesting (It played like a medieval mod for Counter-strike)

Anyway, there hasn't been any X-Com game which was turn-based and isometric since Apocalypse, so its not really that big a surprise if they chose not to go back so closely to its roots.

I know about that,gawd knows what will happen on the 6th one.

Im actually quite bored with that.

All started with Halo. Damn,i hate Halo.

Now,it's in CoD,BFBC2,ME2 etc.

Sigh, even consoles has their own turn-based games (ie. Front Mission series and Super Robot Wars series).

Enjoyed almost all Super Robot Wars series and yes it's top down and you use a gamepad to play (probably made more sense using the mouse, but damn it, it was fun)
