Gears of X-Com

Read the article Stolve, this is an RTS made by Fireaxis.

Can only hope its good.

Wait WHAT? I thought it was the 2K FPS game..

As a side note, the first X-Com (or UFO), was also named Enemy Unknown. And it's supposed to be spelled X-COM, not XCOM.

As a side note to the side note, Jagged Alliance is also making a comeback, as a "turn based" (RT-TB) game. I guess 2012 is back to the 90s.

That's because this is a remake/re-imagining of the original X-Com by Firaxis, who, btw, I can't really imagine making this an RTS, or at least very MUCH of an RTS. They're the Civ company, they're a turn based studio through and through.

The shooter XCOM will be multi-platfrom while the strat XCOM (where do you see that it'll be RTS?) will likely be PC-exclusive, so it probably. I couldn't possibly give less of a shit though. The far more interesting bet would be metacritic scores, I would think. :3

In X-COM 3 you could flip between RT and TB at will. Made for some pretty lulzy situations that broke the game balance.

Re-read the GI info, and it looks like X-Com Enemy Unknown will keep the original game's structure of real-time globe view and turn based combat, have destruction in the levels, and come out on all three main platforms. This shit's gonna own. As far as the bet's concerned, I'd say which ever game sells more is just down to which ever game 2K puts more ad dollars behind. Given the extremely negative fan responses to 2K Marin's game and the extremely positive responses to this Firaxis announcement, I wouldn't make any presumptions about the shooter.

Sadly, the shooter will probably still do better because the original X-COM is too complex for your average herp-derp gamer.
