What was his name in the comic? That's official after all. RIP AND TEAR!

Okay, so there's gatling popping out of mutant's arm in this game. Where's ammunition for this gun coming from though?

Probably from some alien extradimensional cash shop.

Piratez, an X-Com mod dating back to 2014, mentioned in this thread on Tuesday. Shows up on RPS yesterday. Coincidence?

 

[Alienman]

[Irenaeus III]

They drink blood and metabolize them as bullets.

Ah that part was from Rodriguez, right. Tarantino played actually in this one hehe if I recall correctly. A small scene in an elevator.

He directed the other "part", Death Proof

PHOENIX POINT FEATURES LARGE SCALE MONSTERS
Your soldiers can target specific parts of a monster to achieve different effects. The Crab Queen has a black mist ejecter in its abdomen. If it is disabled the queen will no longer be able to eject mist which summons reinforcements and gives them cover. Shooting out its face will send it into a blind frenzy, rendering it unable to direct attacks or movement.

Your soldiers

Was this the first time they told anything about protagonist side?

 

[Mustawd]

Looks almost Vietnam era-ish. Except for that Cowboy looking hat.

 

[Jack Dandy]

Going for the eldritch design again - I really like it!
Can somebody tell them to just drop ol' machineguns-for-hands?

 

[Berekän]

 

[Kem0sabe]

Cant wait for a proper preview... everything looks terrific so far.

 

[Alienman]

That creature looks terrifying. I guess nobody knows yet if the game will use timeunits or some other system?

 

[Jimmious]

Generally it would be nice of them to release some proper, coherent info about the game...although I admit that this "vagueness" intrigues me

 

[LESS T_T]

Crabman.

An alien mutated organism with human and crab elements combined to make a formidable close combat foe

Also from history:

I like the concept art a lot more than the stuff done by firaxis.

 

[Alienman]

Lobstermen makes a return.

 

[orcinator]

Seeing nothing but concept art makes me a bit worried that the actual game will look disappointing but Chaos Reborn looked okay (though I haven't looked at it very closely)

I never thought the world would end like this. I grew up in the nineteen eighties. I lived through Reagan, Brezhnev, Bush, Gorbachev and the rest. In those days and the days before we believed in a nuclear Armageddon. East against West, Soviets versus Senators where both sides built enough weapons to destroy the Earth many times over. But the world couldn’t hold its breath forever. The dollar defeated the bomb and we learned to get along, provided we could smell profit in it. Oil, gas and coal became the fuel of nations. We took out spades and picks to the ground and dug out the heart blood of the land, letting it fill the bellies of our cars, our trucks and our planes. Our machines drank and drank, sending us far from terra firma to feed our addictions. All the while, great black clouds spewed into the sky, bringing about an end we could never have predicted. While the one percent lined their pockets and pretended ignorance, the rest of us bent our backs. We drilled the seabed and found black gold. We bored beneath our homes and tore up forests to fuel the greed of the rich, all the while blind to our fate. As we burned this world, so the sun burned us, melting the poles, raising the oceans, bringing smog and filth to the air for our children to inherit. In the ash, dust and fog, we didn’t see them before it was too late. They came from the sea …

Sounds silly and highly political. All that drilling the ocean floor and no one noticed advanced laser lobster society down there? Goddamn underwater smog.
