Twenty Minutes Of (Narrated) XCOM
By Jim Rossignol on August 26th, 2011 at 8:23 am.
2K Games have released the full twenty minutes of the XCOM E3 2011 demo, with the developers narrating what is going on. It explains some of the background and story, shows off the underground base, the agent selection process, the mission selection, the squad combat, and elements of the problem solving involved in the “battlescape” the game sets up. This is the most detail we’ve seen of the tactical elements of the game, and it’s definitely worth watching.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in.
This comment from a larger explanation by 2K Marin’s Jordan Thomas in the YouTube description is telling: “Candidly, it just wasn’t “XCOM” enough for the hardcore fans of the original games at 2K Marin, who serve as our creative conscience. So over the past year, we’ve made some pretty aggressive design changes, in pursuit of the feelings that we experienced when we played the original games. I’ll cover those in the video itself, but a quick note about story:”

Not sure if I like the FPS-style of it, but will deffo try it out.
However, I will be certain to reacquire the older Xcom titles. I've been made enthusiastic about them again :)

UFO 2 !?
:D
UFO was a trilogy of games, aftermath , aftershock , and afterlight.
Aftermath had you dealing with the effects of social collapse just after the alien invasion, Aftershock (shit game) had you dealing with Earth after Aftermath, Afterlight had you deal with Mars which had been cut off from earth for the duration of the previous 2 titles.
good games (except aftershock) really close to X-com playstyle. I like the way the story progresses through the 3 until you get closer to the truth behind the invasion.
and there i go talking shit about another game that is pretty similar but not what your talking about
UFO: Extraterrestrials i have no experience of.

I know, played most of them, but it seemed this was the followup to the 1st one, UFO - Enemy Unknown, that was later renamed to X-COM: UFO Defense
i did like the 1st and 3rd of the games you name, never finished any of them, there were bug riddled (atleast the versions i had) the 2nd had this impossible maintenance system that was really shit
