Guest stewart Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 Hey that Geoscape looks as good as that CS guys. Crimony did you have a look at those monsters? If this thing's multiplayer then why are we planning what we're planning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangsta Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 One thing is that it is a realtime game. We want something that feels like X-Com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stewart Posted October 18, 2002 Report Share Posted October 18, 2002 It's real-time only? Or is it like apocalypse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangsta Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 I don't know... on that site they only mention the realtime part. Is this part of the X-Com family? It's called UFO: blahblahblah instead of X-Com: blahblahblah. I once bought a product called X-beyond the frontier because I thought it was part of the frontier series by the name and the fact that they mentioned frontier (to mislead) all over. Was a good trading game with better graphics but wasn't as good as the real frontier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangsta Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 I know what you mean. also the interface reminded me of other real time games I've seen in the past that aren't as fun as X-Com.. I think what really makes the X-Com game so great is that sometimes you get an alien in close range and it's dark and you are scared if your guy is going to miss it. There is real suspense in X-Com at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timil Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 It's more a "Space Hulk" like: It's real time until you halt the time and give your order in frozen time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [email protected] Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 If you visit the press section of ufo-aftermath.com, there are some recent interviews with the director of the game's development. He discusses the realtime/turn-based issues and says basically exactly what Timil just posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rookie with a Additude Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 I wonder if they will add Bigger UFOs, those that they shown where small, i bet you cant even go inside to kill the piloit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangsta Posted October 19, 2002 Report Share Posted October 19, 2002 It's more a "Space Hulk" like: It's real time until you halt the time and give your order in frozen time.Sounds like Baulder Gate. and that game though fun isn't as cool as X-Com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The screenshots sort of look like it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest stewart Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 I thought Baldurs gate was 3rd person. These images look 1st person?Que? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [email protected] Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 No, I think the close-up monster pics are simply zoomed in 3rd person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gangsta Posted October 21, 2002 Report Share Posted October 21, 2002 The screenshots I saw were in 3rd person and the selected player had green circles or something underhim to show he was the active one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orac Posted October 25, 2002 Report Share Posted October 25, 2002 I have a feeling Aftermath is going to be a disappointment. Might do good on sales and be a big hit with a larger market, but I have a feeling many xcom fans are going to be really disappointed. Afterall, xcom fans have seen strategy gaming at it's best. Aftermath sounds too much like a watered down version of xcom targetted at the kind of gamers that don't have the patience for turn-based and resource management of xcom1 and 2.

The graphics look really good. It might be enough for true XCOMers to at least not hate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim69 Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Damn, this is some scathing stuff. If we sat here and compared every strategy game to X-Com, there would be VERY few that were better. Doesn't mean the lesser ones are gonna be crap. I think they want a real time strategy game inspired from the X-Com series, whereas we want a turn-based 3D update to X-Com. I say don't expect 3D X-Com, go into the game openminded, or u could miss a very good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[[Micah]] Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 I'm expecting a Jagged Alliance type of game. I'm going to buy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim69 Posted June 23, 2003 Report Share Posted June 23, 2003 Cool, just seemed 2 me like everyone was gonna blow it out coz it's not the x-com remake we want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
