The original X-Com is my all-time favorite game, even almost 20 years later I sometimes just have to install and play it on my PC. I'm very excited with this new version, looks like the guys are finally getting the spirit of the game, unlike other mediocre clones that came before. Doesn't look like but even if this one sucks, they'll probably relaunch the original one in some way (PSOne Classic, maybe), and that alone woul be enough to me.

Floaters are confirmed to be returning. They look a little more threatening to say the least.

I just re-discovered this game. I though 2K was turning this into a FPS. I'm glad its getting the remake it deserves.

Just found out from an E3 interview that there is at least 5 party members at a time and the game is out on October 9th.

You start with 4 and can research/buy a squad-size expansion to 5 and then to 6.

They are also releasing an FPS.

In the last year, that was sooo very confusing. Because 2k and Firaxis always work together normally, having both do an xcom title and both being totally different was odd.

My mood was a rollercoaster ride.
New Xcom - yay
It's going to be a shooter - FUCK

And it wasn't really clear until a few months ago that there will be two games.
