X-Com: Enemy Unknown (new Firaxis version)
I love the old one. I mean, love it. I just decided to replace my Terror From The Deep version on the PSX too as I never gave it as much love. However, my Enemy Unknown still plays as good now on my PS3 as when I brought it back in the day.
So anyway, there's a new Turn-based one coming out (not the FPS one - not gonna talk about that... eugh) Website is here: http://www.xcom.com/enemyunknown/ Some videos... and a demo of the game being played... I think I will buy on PS3 (in homage to the PSX buying of the original and prefering it on there) and prob d/l on PC if I can't get into it. Anyone else getting it?

Didn't even know they were doing this, and out pretty soon by the looks of things.
Only played a little bit of the original, but I will probably give it a go. |

I've had my eye on this since I loved the originals, I'll probably pick it up soon after release. Looks pretty good.

Never played the originals but been following this game for months, looks right up my alley and will be a refreshing change from cover shooters and RPGs. Haven't been massively into a strategy type game since Command and Conquer's glory days in the 90s.

Looks like my PC might actually manage it, I may just pre-purchase.
Although given I already have Civ 5, what's in it for me? |

There's like MOTHERFUCKING IN-GAME PRE-ORDER ITEMS and CRAP. Also, TEAM CUNTING FORTRESS 2 HATS! COCKING HATS! The you think you're a big shot with having Civ 5 already? YOU CAN GIFT THAT SHIT. Give it to KANE FUCKING KNIGHT or something.
BOLLOCKS. |

Got Terror From the Deep and X-Com on the PSX and both share the most time in my PS3. I heard you can get the original on Steam that won't run stupidly fast like the DOS one does on today's machines. |

Nah, that Steam shit runs in Dosbox man. Emulates a whole fucking PC to get it right.

They sell for some whack considering. Having said that, I don't know where you operate from!
Either way, I think I will buy this game. I'd love if you could CO-OP on some big map against bastard aliens. Or even against bastard terrans as the aliens. |

I'm having second thoughts about buying on PC after seeing it in action. Think my computer might struggle a bit.

I'll handle it fine. I am convinced Firaxis have enough clout to do it justice and out of honour for my TFTD and EU I will get this on PS3 and just download on PC when I want to give it a crack on there.
There is another game being developed called Xenonauts, albeit by a couple of guys and independent stylee. |

Let's not be Eskimo about this. Pre-order on Steam so we all get hats, a superior control scheme for strategy games and save yourself a tenner and this doesn't get ugly.

Fucking hell Hasney. I mean, ain't there a sale going on @ Steam? Then maybe I buy it on there as well. In fact, I think I might just PC this shit up.

Because the free gifts are based on how many people pre-order. I'm desperate, brah.

So we have the Elite Soldier Pack which includes: Classic XCOM Soldier
Players will instantly receive a new recruit in their barracks inspired by the original X-COM: UFO Defense. The iconic soldier with the blonde, flattop hairstyle will return fully modernized. And some other things. But who cares? Classic soldier! The we're at 72% for the TF2 hats and then if there's another load of pre-orders, that's where free Civ5 kicks in. |

Free Civ5 is a great idea, I mean if this was EA we'd be buying this shit. Extra £40 for premium on BF, after paying like £40 for the game anyway.
TF2... meh. YAY.

Exactly. 2K know that Steam is their bread and butter for new turn-based XCom.
I'm pretty convinced that they're doing this to convince console owners to come to PC. I can't see a joypad holding up to turn based strategy. |

I'm kind of tempted to pick up the original on Steam now. Pretty sure my laptop can run that at least.
