Ufo: Extraterrestial


Recommended Posts

Did'nt see any info on the boards on this particular game being developed; so I thought I'd give you folks the heads up on it.

Well, according to the latest information, UFO: ET is still scheduled for a late summer 2006 release date. Whatever problems they had in the past with the release has been rectified. In the meantime, the folks over at StrategyCore shot off a bunch of questions about the game to Michal Dolezal (who is the managing developer of UFO: ET). You can find that interview here. :)

Wow! That does look very good, if it is turn based I'm definately going to have to buy it! I hope that the battle damage is realistic as well. The color pallete is a little too cartoonish for my taste, but thats a small complaint. Their globe doesn't really do it for me like Xenocide's does :D either. I wonder what the fate of Xenocide will be in the face of this?

Indeed, it is a full turn-based game. And battle damage should be realistic with fully destructible terrain (take out enough supports and a building will collapse).

Well, you have to realize that the battles take place on a planet called Esperanza - not Earth. Hence, the colors are going to be different anyway. Another reason is the fact that they use colored shading to denote the different funding areas. See this pic.

I am always under the impression that any X-COM type game which comes out will only create more interest in the series as a whole - this includes games in development such as Xenocide. Truth be told, UFO: ET is not exactly an X-COM game, but it should come close. If anything, it will temporarily fill that niche in the market until a true remake is released. :wink1:

I was actually talking about the screenshots from the battlescape, which in some scenes have a bunch of neon blues and greens that seem out of place. I want a more naturalistic approach to scenery.

 

I hope you're right about fully destructible terrain, I've always imagined craters from Blaster Bombs and flying debris, collapsing building (like in apocalypse, which I absolutely loved). I was always bugged by the fact that you could knock out the bottom of a building in UFO:EU and the top half would stay in mid air :D

 

I've only tried one other imitator UFO:Aftermath and was so so dissapointed that I'm skeptical of others but this looks like a winner.

Everytime I'm confused by this screenshot. These aliens holding such BIG guns in ONE(!) hand! Maybe they took some steroids or smth... ;) And postures of human soldiers look not so realistic for me...

btw, there is no screenshots where we can see the _destructable_ terrain.

Show me an xcom inspired remake that looks astounding.. I mean, honestly, X-com doesnt look fantastic or anything but its just an awesome game. So don't worry what it looks like.
