They should really drop the UI color scheme that reminds of the new XCOM

UI colored similar to another game? Is this a real issue or just a random rant?

Only if Firaxis sues them.

I dont remember correctly, do they announced that bullet will have a hit detection? And cover would be actually a cover, and not just percentage deducted from the hit chance of enemy weapon/attack? And does burst weapons/auto weapons will have hit chance calculation for each of the bullets in the salvo? Seriously if this isnt in the game, then a fucking 20 years old JA2 has still more complex gameplay xD

 

[HansDampf]

Yes.

Gollop is a true brother. Me and my brothers pulled this crap on each other all the time. (We still do.)

Mr Gollop comes from a very family.

you cant sell a game to the casuals without looking like an anime.

"These vehicles can move quite fast. They have various functions. One is as a troop carrier. They can also be equipped with various armaments and they can drive through terrain and destroy stuff."

Hope there's also late game armors with that function like that one in Xenonauts.
Though I wonder how they'll be balanced and if they'll actually require a pilot.

my favorite power armor concept from the internet

does the writing under the logo mean anything?

 

[Jack Dandy]

How does that thing make ANY kind of sense?

 

[ERYFKRAD]

How does that thing make ANY kind of sense?

Suppose it's some sorta massive brace for a sniper rifle with a huge-ass recoil.

 

[Jack Dandy]

That's nice and all, but one of the points of PAs is that they're kinda the bridge between infantry and giant fucking robots.
You can't have giant fucking robots since having big ol' legs doesn't make phsyical sense!

So the legs are out of place like crazy

Phoenix Point up next.

 

[Mazisky]

i am pretty hyped. My only concern is that those industrial and wasteland environments will get old pretty fast. I hope in more variety

 

[Mazisky]

The game has a real nice sci fi Horror vibe btw. looking at the stream, the mood is awesome

Also, the sounds is pretty confused with all dudes talking, but the music seems incredible. I want to see a clean version of that mission, i guess it will pop on youtube soon

 

[Darth Roxor]

looks almost exactly as lame as neuxcom

good that i skipped it

Yeah, it looks *really* similar to nuxcom. Would easily believe it was a total conversion of xcom2 from what they've shown so far.

This is not the victory we were promised.

So the livestream i don't think was the best way to show off the game, unfortunately. But just by what i saw it's nioce to see the level of polish they've achieved. Hope tat's the same standard for the final version.

Well, considering that there will be points all over the globe, I would imagine so. I have yet to see any other kinds of levels though. But maybe I just missed it.

Errr, not sure I follow. It was readily apparent they were gonna ape the hell out of nuXCOM's presentation from day 1. All the concept art, all the previous demo's, everything I've seen, suggested that it was important that it borrow heavily form X-com's UI, cinematic turn based style, etc.
