XCOM: Enemy Unknown - Firaxis' Jake Solomon Sells His Gaming Sandwich

XCOM: Enemy Unknown

Written Wednesday, October 03, 2012 By Richard Walker

XCOM: Enemy Unknown might be a tough sell to the masses of gamers weaned on Call of Duty and whatnot, but Firaxis Games' Lead Designer, Jake Solomon is willing to give it a crack in this new video.

Going undercover for a hidden camera stunt, Solomon attempts to flog a few copies of the turn-based strategy in which you get to lead a squad against an invading alien threat that's out destroy the human race.

As promotional videos go, this is quite possibly up there with the best we've seen, with Solomon pouring it on for his sales pitch as he attempts to convince various customers that XCOM: Enemy Unknown is the game for them.

Is it the game for you? Why not read our latest hands-on preview and watch our interview with Solomon. XCOM: Enemy Unknown is out on October 9th in North America and October 12th Internationally.

	Absolutely funny, i loved that one scene. Gamer:"That alien would scare the crap out of me" Jake:"Would it make you feel better if you shot him in the head?" Certainly not the best area to sale XCOM but i do believe that it shows, the care and the love Firaxis has put into their game and the willingness to talk to people to buy the game. I will be pre-ordering tomorrow. Others should do the same.

	This is not the same game as 18 years be4 was, this game have different mechanics, different skill system and this presents a different gameplay and experience . Also this have nothing to do with the games difficulty level, because this game will be difficult just like his predecessor but in different way . I hope that the difficulty level will not increase only with multiplication of the number of enemies , because i will cancel my preorder . I expect a smart AI with better weapons ad skills .
