The official site that started it all, a good marketing move:

http://www.adventfuture.org/

IGN blew it (or someone on 2k did) by revealing a trailer to public before the marketing site schedule:

It's got that Apocalypse vibe, doesn't it?

Holy... that looks great

Rodo · **Reply #2 on:** June 01, 2015, 03:57:23 pm

Awww balls, the advent site now only redirects to xcom.com. I loved that hacking like effect on that site, wish they hadn't taken it out to put the new one.
Aditionally, the new one kind of makes my browser implode! (and not in a good way

)

Once more into the breach!

Guess the Commander in EU must've played on Long War Ironman Impossible, with obvious results.

Was kinda looking forward to

Spoiler:

a game set after the victory in EU, with humanity now having to deal with whatever ominous threat the Uber-Ethereal warned us about.

But if it's more X-COM, I'll take it!

Vrets · **Reply #5 on:** June 01, 2015, 06:51:59 pm

I should play the first one, I guess. Apparently, I even own it, somehow.

So, it's good, then?

Oh, very much so! Its tactical combat and base-management are deep without being overwhelmingly complex. You can build a squad of elite soldiers through firefight after firefight, mourning when your best guys are killed by RNG bad luck, but soldiering on and finally driving the aliens off Earth.

deathfun · **Reply #7 on:** June 01, 2015, 08:35:37 pm

RNG and bad luck don't apply to Long War
Just insane amounts of **** you

But, I'm definitely looking forward to more XCOM!

i'm skeptical, but hopeful for this, although the buff sectoids look ****ing ridiculous

I assumed it's an "uplifted" human, hence the dramatic reveal. And teeth.

Ohh, that would make sense. I just assumed it was an Ethereal without all the robes and floating... and two arms...

I'm really happy to see the game's announced! It's pretty brilliant to basically reconcile all the players that never finished it. I'm hoping that the trailer is as in-engine, gameplay-like as possible. There's some technical improvements to be made in making the game seem more real-time while still being turn-based, although I'm happy enough with the old formula.

The trailer is nothing but a cinematic. In-game assets, probably, and maybe even some in-game animations, but definitely not in any way indicative of the actual gameplay.

The future of XCOM. Enjoy:

Well ****, apparently I need to finish off my final two achievements in the last installment.

So many good games coming. Such a huge backlog already. So little time. Argh.

Oh yes...
