Hoping this turns out good, mind you considering how hard the old XCOM games were, this will probably kick my ass.
Loving what I see and hear so far. It is also so welcoming that they embraced the very 90s aesthetic of the original.
The more I think about it the more I am convinced that other Xcom remake is just viral advertising to make this Xcom remake look somehow more awesome than it already is. Which is probably scientifically impossible or it would cause a quantum wormhole and destroy the whole of reality or some junk like that.
I've been frothing at the mouth for this game since it's original announcement. It is my MUST BUY title of 2012 for certain. All I need to know is when's it coming.
On a slightly XCOM related note .... I really would have just killed if they had ported the original XCOM directly to say the DS.

I would loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove x-com for DS. That would be the greatest single thing to ever be on the DS. And give me a reason to turn it on.

"Ever since 2K Marin's announcement of an X-COM remake last year, fans of the MS-DOS strategy original were horrified that it had taken the form of a first-person shooter format, albeit with significant strategy elements."
It was more than JUST it being an FPS. It was also that it was basically nothing at all like x-com in any way and was basically just attaching a well known franchise brand name to a game in an attempt to bring media attention. The art style, the theme, the setting, the gameplay, nothing from the original games was transfered over in any form.
A reboot has to reimagine an existing franchise in a new way. This means using some aspects that go beyond "recognizable words."

I'm steadily getting more and more interested in this as I see more. Game looks great, great feel, great art style. Really hope it's as good as it looks!

It was hard, but I was so into strategy games back then, I decided to see what the hardest skill had for me.
Finished on the first go through and felt like long of the world and always played on that skill.
I read last year that the original game had a bug where the hardest difficulty was actually the easiest. There was a patch, but it wasn't widespread back then. My ego was smashed to smithereens.

Really can't wait for this. Loved the original but never had the stones to finish it...release date please!
Also, that's some stance on Daffy. A steady wanking hand indeed. Bet he totally loses it when he comes though.

He describes how heartbreaking losing one of your guys you've been working on for so long is in the original. I 'd like to know if it ever happens in the new one.
I never played the original, but I'm really interested in this especially after they showed off the base at PAX East.
Also, I liked the look of the other XCOM remake the people looked very TF2ish and I found that to be very charming. I liked the idea of the oil aliens that travel through the dead and walls and floor. But once they showed the bipedal-diamond-humanoid aliens with assault rifles I was disappointed. It seemed the majority of combat would be against guys-with-guns.
