Guest Dan Forever Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 Will gameplay be turnbased or real time a la Apocalypse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red knight Posted July 25, 2003 Report Share Posted July 25, 2003 It will be turn based, because it is based on UFO Enemy Unknown Greetings Red Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dan Forever Posted July 26, 2003 Report Share Posted July 26, 2003 aw damn, my personal experience with X-Com is Apocalypse (the best game in existance I might add), and I was put off the turn-based mode after, in one turn, an alien brainsucker ran out, jumped on one of my guys and turned him to the darkside in one go ;( I do remember playing terror from the deep demo ages ago though, not having a clue as to what I was doing but having a heck of a lot of fun at the same time Still, I hope this project goes well, and inspires companies to start making x-com style games!

red knight Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 You bet that we all hope some companies revisit the turn based style games... Greetings Red Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puasonen Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 (edited) I really never even tried to play apoc in real time. Just played it through in turn based mode. And I didn't like it as much as enemy unknown but liked it a lot anyway. I'm miserable 'cause incoming ufo: aftermath will be somekinf of an mix of turn based and real time. WHY!? Turn based has a kind of feeling that will never be able on real time..! Edited July 30, 2003 by j'ordos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miceless Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 I on the other hand have never played it in turn based mode. Its a nice change from playing turn based all the time, so i like the real time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dan Forever Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 I think UFO Aftermath play style will be similar to Apoc's realtime. Basically realtime in apoc is generally played at "half speed" (half a second every actual second) though it also be paused and sped up. If you haven't played that mode before I emplore you to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a ripped version of apoc and it works with win xp but 'cause it's ripped, music is missing and I can't get into the feeling without real apoc music. And also have a damn mouse problem, autoscroll in cityview doesn't work. Works left and down but if I try to scroll up or righ with mouse.. problems start, screen starts jumping left and right :crying: So I can't play it anymore..

miceless Posted July 28, 2003 Report Share Posted July 28, 2003 Thats a shame. Where did you get that copy from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dan Forever Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 yeah I can't play either - I'm on win2k. I'm currently waiting for [url="http://dosbox.sourceforge.net"]DOSBox[/url] to impliment Protected mode support so I can play it again (cba to load up win98). I believe [url="http://www.x-com.co.uk"]this site[/url] mentions ways of getting the games. Take a look :o Bah, site seems to be down atm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miceless Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 People have asked where they can get the game on here before, so its available through people here. Do a search if you're interested.

[stewart] Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 Wouldn't real-time in X3 feel a lot like Syndicate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted October 9, 2003 Report Share Posted October 9, 2003 I imagine so. Then again, AM is using a very similar system, and I can attest to the fact that in apoc, it is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Turnbased in X-com 3 was more of a hassle than anything else, I played it with realtime only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted November 1, 2003 Report Share Posted November 1, 2003 Yup, Im with you, Turnbased apoc was for me an exercise in tediousness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
