In other news, OpenXcom TFTD support is a thing that is happening. Way more excited for that, frankly.

Nah, they would have put it in the trailer if they had a buildings-fall-down gimmick

I hope someone mods TFTD to another color scheme. I'd love to play it, but I can't stand all that puke yellow.
We can already blow up buildings in X com EU and EW, so yeah it'll be in.
You can blow up SOME walls and debris. Some are indestructible.

This one is right.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
I don't really like how it looks (comical swords especially), but PC exclusive? Might be cool.

Looks interesting. I noticed that the 'rebels' are out of the city, coming in to invade and cause a ruckus. So I guess you play the part of the invader this time instead of just defending stuff, an interesting inversion at least and might make for some proactive gameplay. Melee makes a lot of sense if the game's mostly gonna be in the close-quarters of a city. Only problem is I thought any 'city' elements in the first XCOM were the worst parts because the engine does not handle multiple-floors nor building destruction all that well. That's definitely gonna need to be the biggest improvement. That and ditching 2-AP which isn't going to happen.

Well, they pissed off NeoGAFFE by announcing it as a PC exclusive, so at least something positive came out of it when the game inevitably turns out to be shallow crap.

Melee is ok. I cannot remember ho many times I encountered aliens close on and how useful Mech's punch was.

I should remember not to browse non-specialist websites. The biggest retardation I read today was that X(-)COM should be RTwP and the best systems for tactics are
WEGO > RTwP > TB.

Haters gonna hate, D1P for me. Stealth, corpse looting, procedurally generated maps, proper mod support, sounds awesome (the screenshots look bad though). Also, i expected it to be a PC exclusive.

dont like the sterile art direction, cartoonish. The characters in the trailer have no expressions and look like some manboons, much worse than in XCOM EU, but i guess its just a trailer.

good news overall, will see how bad they fuck up, but it might be good enough if they learned some things from XCOM EU. So yeah

:d1p: if we have a better strategic layer this time.

no full destruction, no buy

I'm sure there's a lot of nuances modern Xcom misses, but having access to a mech that can't devastate an entire area seems sacrilegious. Saying "fuck naw" to a terror mission and just levelling everything is way too fun.
