Aliens xenos don't wield laser pistols, plasma rifles, or hurl grenades. So turn-based for X-Com still retained that tension but it wouldn't work in this case.

For a console game, that video looked pretty darn good. I would have bought it on sale, unless the game had uber tactical and stat depth (no chance in hell).

Yes, and that was just a pre-alpha . . .

Is that andy richter doing some of the VA like the "that's not good" part? Like him, too bad the others are horrible. They remind me of AP blandness.

If you are going for movie cool, as you should in an action franchise based IP spinoff, you need to have people say and do stuff normal people wouldn't, in situations that wouldn't really happen.

Also the bitchy "tough" female character that has to be in every game and movie now needs to be nuked from orbit, just to be sure. If a girl is going to be tough, she should be tough, not act like a stupid mouthy bitch.

Also it's just a bad idea. Dark scenes that are supposed to be atmospheric simply fall apart in an action vidya game and it always seems ridiculous and stupid.

Women imitating men's macho banter == bitchy. :smug:
