    Yeah I just pre-purchased this game the other day it looks sick! The game is really difficult you can download the demo mod on 2k’s official forums to change the difficulty/spawns its intense. I put it on Impossible and got my entire squad of 6 taken out in 3 turns. Chryssalids are crazy….

       Can you post a link to the demo mod? Cant seem to find it.

        links tend to have to wait for approval. just google “xcom demo mod”, and one of the top relevant results now is the gamespot forum post “How to: Mod the XCom demo” which has a link to the actual mod post in the 2k forums as well as a tutorial video on how to use the mod.  enjoy! we’re only a week away!

    one of my most anticipated games ever.  This interactive trailer was more informative and entertaining than the Steam demo which I think very much misrepresented what the full game will be like.  It didn’t affect my feelings on the game though, as I preordered my box as soon as it was available.  I’ve been playing around with the demo mod to up the difficulty but doesn’t seem to be working quite right for me…I had cryssalids, but they just ran around…didn’t attack/zombify anyone.  Will keep trying over the weekend.

    This game wants to be a FPS, but lacks the cohones.

      have you seen the XCom fps that has been in the works? that’s an utter mess of an attempt for the franchise.  The game is a turn-based strategy in its roots, this remake just spruces things up to try to make things a little more dynamic and exciting.

        I agree with Corey the FPS XCOM look terrible while this one is going back to the roots of the classic which is good imo. I love the art style, strategy layer, all the decision making, the perma-death and all the randomness associated with the game. I cant wait to see what they do for DLC for this game in the future.

    Been waiting a long time for a new X-Com game. Played the first way back on my 486 machine. Got a pre-order in for this one!

    I wish I could share your enthusiasm but unfortunately every xcom game, or port of any gollop game that he didnt do has been mediocre. ie rebelstar, laser squad, chaos , lords of chaos , ufo & xcom 1 all by gollop were awesome. The various ports of his games ie amiga & pc versions back in the day and all versions since of xcom have been lacking :/
    Check out what he thinks, and yes he didnt even know about the remake or hed have wanted to be involved…. http://www.edge-online.com/features/julian-gollop-xcom/

    this Interactive Trailer but you can’t press anything…

      find the actual interactive trailer on youtube…something gets messed up with the video used here and it just plays straight through it.

    Between this, Dishonored, and Deus Ex last year it’s good to see old PC genres making a come back.

    This does look interesting.      I rather like the retro turn-based feel but the updated UI and graphics. 

    I wonder if the game was allowing people to shoot through the car windows or was that just a clipping effect?
