I liked Jagged Alliance better, which is ALSO having two games come out this year for it.

However, these games are not being made by Fireaxis, so there's a big potential for fail!

1 month away and no long previews. I'm scared!

A remake of one of the best PC games ever? Consider me seriously hyped.

yep

I've spent countless hours defending Earth against those nasty aliens in the original X-COM. Let's just hope they don't screw it up by making it "more accessible", "action-packed" and "cinematic".

Just give me the old X-COM with modernized gfx and a slick GUI and I'll be a very happy camper.






cool! thanks for sharing the info!

console audience and PC? Sounds hopeful, but I will believe it when I see it!

XCOM's leader needs a worldwide perspective where threats are identified, populations reassured, and national leaders mollified – but a tactical mind is just as critical considering every shot XCOM's soldiers fire on the battlefield is under the player's turn-based control.

I think in Firaxis' hands this should be epic.

New Jagged Alliance??

AWESOME! I hope they don't screw it up, I LOVE the JA series.

Cool! Looks like all the old elements are there, global monitoring, base building, R&D, and turn based battles.
