KickStarter Phoenix Point - the new game from X-COM creator Julian Gollop

[veevoir]

Good news. Even better news that Gollop disappeared from the face of earth. Seeing community ideas and white nose they generated during Chaos Reborn campaign..painful. Though playing a few games with him was fun, he's damn good at hjs own games

Im glad he hid in a supplied bunker and works on what he thinks the game should be.

Very true. Chaos Reborn was great initially but got bogged down by a lot of crap.

Looks like some No Man's Sky generated horror.

"Hah ha hah... That's not a gun... THAT's a gun!"

"Taking cover is for weak-willed console peasants!"

From the looks of it humans can have parts of their body damaged. See the body-icon over the human?

Thank You for the screenshot!!

The alien gun has obviously WiP textures. Other than that the pic looks really nice. Phoenix Point has ways more potential than CrapHeap XCOM2 ever had.

The gun the alien is carrying looks like the artist stuck together a few other guns then scaled the model 2x up.

I don't Get why such abomination should use guns instead of just melting people with claws, spitting acid or whatever monster stuff, it feels weird

Honestly, from what I saw it looks like only starting monsters will have guns.

Don't you guys hate it when they hype you about a game and then you don't hear/read anything about it for months? Drop a pic at least Gollop!

At this point I would be happy with just 100% confirmation they got money to make it.

John composed the music for the original X-COM game in released in 1994.

Starting with a Lovecraft quote is

Damn, even Broomhall is back. Music in the teaser sounds very "horror-generic" though. Hopefully the full tracks will be awesome like in the original.

Eh? The original what?

 

[Alienman]

X-com. The music in Apocalypse was also awesome.

STOP mentioning Apocalypse.
Every time you do that, someone will reinstall full of wonder and amazement.
Just to be disappointed by the many bugs and shortcomings and longing for the game that could have been.

You heartless bastard.

My face is tired

Nobody's a pathfinder until they've pathfound something

Fourteen months and you stoop to poetry. That's how bad it is.

Beautiful utopian horseshit

"Fourteen months" sounds like the time they developed Phoenix Point till now.
