Everything I saw from the previous version made me angry. What a loathsome piece of shit that was shaping up to be. This new version looks slightly less offensive, but I doubt I'd care if it turns out to be console-only.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown, on the other hand, looks like it'll be one of the best games of the year. |

Hrm, I had mostly forgotten about this game. I actually was under the impression it had come out and bombed utterly. I was waiting to see it on a Steam sale for 5 bucks or something. 
What a shame they are going the consolized crap route, the screenshots from way back when looked more interesting than whatever this new version is going to be.
You could get it with all the other X-Com games (including Interceptor) for $5 a few times already, IIRC. I installed it, and promptly uninstalled it once I remembered the gameplay. The horrible, horrible...horrible Enforcer gameplay. I actually beat the game when it was new. I must have been bored out of my mind.
Resurrect X-Com Alliance, please. That was a promising game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu5iWvhY_MU |

| Wow - what a mess. I haven't seen a development cycle this chaotic in a while. One could hope for the whole "art from adversity" thing to miraculously result in a great game coming out of this but right now it looks likely that this will be a disaster. I suspect it will be cancelled outright before long. |

| It looked like a shit game anyway, but the 3rd-person just makes it worse. Design concessions for consoles have ruined PC gaming. Gotta have that fucking cover system, I guess. |

| Kind of surprising that the Xcom game announced first is coming out last, doesn't bode well for the final product. Still interested though. |

I loved the retro 50ish look. Not sure what it had to do with XCOM, but it looked fantastic. The idea of a 50s alien invasion was an awesome one.
Not sure what the deal is with the game, either, but the studio made Bioshock 2 fairly interesting, so I'm hoping they have some skills when not following a pre-defined blueprint. Guess we'll see. |

| The game looks interesting but they shouldn't stick the X-Com name in front of it. If it was a turn-based third-person shooter or semi-turn based game it would be something different. |

| It doesn't matter whether it's a FPS or TPS, it still looks terrible. It seems like a complete misuse of the franchise, unlike XCOM: Enemy Unknown which looks excellent. |
