Karooo Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Xcom Developer: 2k Marin Publisher: 2k games Genre: FPS Players: 1-? Platform: 360 and PC Release: 2010. 2K Games announced today the development of XCOM, a new first person shooter exclusively on the Xbox 360 and PC. XCOM is currently being developed by 2K Marin, the studio behind Bioshock 2, which sold millions since launched. The game will be filled with a suspense-filled narrative and distills it into a tense and unique first-person shooter experience. “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.” XCOM is the re-imagining of the classic tale of humanity’s struggle against an unknown enemy that puts players directly into the shoes of an FBI agent tasked with identifying and eliminating the growing threat. True to the roots of the franchise, players will be placed in charge of overcoming high-stake odds through risky strategic gambits coupled with heart-stopping combat experiences that pit human ingenuity – and frailty – against a foe beyond comprehension. By setting the game in a first-person perspective, players will be able to feel the tension and fear that comes with combating a faceless enemy that is violently probing and plotting its way into our world. XCOM will be available exclusively on the Xbox 360 and PC. No release date are set but it is slated to come out this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noctis Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 XCOM? The XCOM? Its an FPS now? 2k games had acquired rights to the series, so it should be the same X-COM. An FPS is still possible I guess, another alien shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Just another FPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 This is seriously like the weirdest genre jump ever. I mean even Fallout 3 had at least a passing relation to the previous games. This is like making an AoE platformer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Has anyone been able to figure out what's going on in that screenshot? peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HundredProofSam Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 That is a ghastly screenshot. How do you release that as a game's first ever screenshot? And what's the red thing? Looks like a car from the Pixar animated film. And look at the power cables. peace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aftrunner Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 That screenshot is the least of their problems. Just had a look around the usual places on the net and every XCOM fanboy is having a meltdown (with some justification I might add). I bet you dont get that kinda hate too often just by announcing a game. I predict some damage control ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sup bro? Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 The whole series is available on Steam, if anyone is interested. http://store.steampowered.com/sub/964/ Also, please ignore Enforcer. It is an earlier pathetic attempt at an X-Com shooter. Can't wait for Bungie to announce Marathon: Kart Racer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyofx Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 Yea yea, so we all played it back in the day. An old-style X-Com (in terms of mass appeal/sales) would never work NOW. Get over it. /runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get over it. /runs Yeah thats why it makes even less sense to make it an FPS. The core fans will just be pissed off and will probably not give a crap. The new age codtards wouldnt even know the name and wouldnt give a crap. Either way, it would have been better if they had passed it off as a new IP. But then again the only reason Bioshock 1 and 2 got a free pass in so many areas was because of the System shock pedigree, so they might be afraid of getting their balls nailed to the wall when they dont have a famous franchise to hide behind.
