Hurlshort Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Rumors are flying around about a new X-com. Having a professional studio tackle that game would be great, especially if they stick to the squad level TB combat. I think Irrational is in the rumor mill as a developer. Even if they use the RTS system of Freedom Force, I'd probably still be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurlshort Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 http://pc.ign.com/articles/871/871944p1.html Here's an article on it. The big question is whether the game is two years out, or 5 years out. If they've started on it already (as early as 2005 is possible) then we could see previews by the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgoth Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 What would people generally like more? A X-Com hardcore strategy-game, or a squad-based FPS a'la SWAT or the cancelled Xcom Alliance? Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILL THE ALMIGHTY Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 Ace combat 7. Can't wait to see if they'll actually have learned from AC6's flaws (story, voice acting and small amount of missions/planes). "Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llyranor Posted June 1, 2008 Share Posted June 1, 2008 (edited) Firaxis had the rights to Xcom on last count. Since it and Irrational are owned/part of 2Kgames now, who knows? Regardless, it better have co-op. Edited June 1, 2008 by Llyranor (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelverin Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 and MVP EA (whenever they get the license back). "Even if EA acquired Take 2 today, that wouldn't happen. Takes way too much time to build something from scratch. The earliest you'd see an EA-made baseball game would be 2010. For 2009, they'd simply publish 2K9 while starting up an in-house team to make MVP 2010 (or whatever they'd call it)." From an ex developer that worked with EA on MVP "DrJones"on the possibility of a new EA baseball game. Take it for what it's worth.

SteveThaiBinh Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Civilization IV: Colonization. The only better thing would be a new Alpha Centauri. Screens. The Civ brand works for me so I'm pretty happy and will buy this game, but I've never played the original version of 'Colonization'. I do like the CivIV mode where you all start off on one continent and have to conquer the other after discovering Astronomy - is it anything like that?

I do like the CivIV mode where you all start off on one continent and have to conquer the other after discovering Astronomy - is it anything like that? Yes and no. Colonization was very focused on the economy and being the colonies of one of four countries. I didn't try it when it came out but tried it later when I found it at a friends house, good ideas and fun but very old. As far as I remember you won by defeating the homeland in a great war. I'm sure that one of our oldskool guys can explain it better or you can go to wikipedia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
