X-COM XCOM 2 + War of the Chosen Expansion Thread

Straight out of some fucking Pixar movie.

In other news, OpenXcom TFTD support is a thing that is happening. Way more excited for that, frankly.

Looks low-fi, yet not so low-fi that the second floor of a building will fall down when you blow up the first

If you can actually blow up buildings

 

[Cyberarmy]

We can already blow up buildings in X com EU and EW, so yeah it'll be in.

No no, I mean actually take them down. Demolish them. Not just break their walls. DESTROYYY :kwafuckyeah:

 

[Gozma]

Nah, they would have put it in the trailer if they had a buildings-fall-down gimmick

I hope someone mods TFTD to another color scheme. I'd love to play it, but I can't stand all that puke yellow.

You can blow up SOME walls and debris. Some are indestructible.

This one is right.

 

[Ovplain]

Please be good.=(

Only in xcom can you shoot at enemies 2 feet away from you and still miss

Once again, NerfNow

 

[Nomad_Blizz]

Well played.

Reminds me of the Lego police station I had as a kid.

 

[Dr Skeleton]

I don't really like how it looks (comical swords especially), but PC exclusive? Might be cool.

 

[tripedal]

*unsheathes katana*

Spoiler

looks pretty good, procedurally generated levels are a big plus

 

[sser]

Looks interesting. I noticed that the 'rebels' are out of the city, coming in to invade and cause a ruckus. So I guess you play the part of the invader this time instead of just defending stuff, an interesting inversion at least and might make for some proactive gameplay. Melee makes a lot of sense if the game's mostly gonna be in the close-quarters of a city. Only problem is I thought any 'city' elements in the first XCOM were the worst parts because the engine does not handle multiple-floors nor building destruction all that well. That's definitely gonna need to be the biggest improvement. That and ditching 2-AP which isn't going to happen.

 

[GrainWetski]

Well, they pissed off NeoGAFFE by announcing it as a PC exclusive, so at least something positive came out of it when the game inevitably turns out to be shallow crap.

 

[Space Satan]

Melee is ok. I cannot remember ho many times I encountered aliens close on and how useful Mech's punch was.

 

[Torrasque01]

I should remember not to browse non-specialist websites. The biggest retardation I read today was that X(-)COM should be RTwP and the best systems for tactics are
WEGO > RTwP > TB.

 

[Luka-boy]

No no, I mean actually take them down. Demolish them. Not just break their walls. DESTROYYY :kwafuckyeah:

Exactly.

 

[Morgoth]

Destructive environments should be technically possible (and prolly the reason they had to skip the console versions), because it uses UE4 like Hatred, and Hatred has beautiful destruction.

 

[bonescraper]

Haters gonna hate, D1P for me. Stealth, corpse looting, procedurally generated maps, proper mod support, sounds awesome (the screenshots look bad though). Also, i expected it to be a PC exclusive.

 

[Thane Solus]

dont like the sterile art direction, cartoonish. The characters in the trailer have no expressions and look like some manboons, much worse than in XCOM EU, but i guess its just a trailer.

good news overall, will see how bad they fuck up, but it might be good enough if they learned some things from XCOM EU. So yeah

if we have a better strategic layer this time.

 

[Latro]

no full destruction, no buy

I'm sure there's a lot of nuances modern Xcom misses, but having access to a mech that can't devastate an entire area seems sacrilegious. Saying "fuck naw" to a terror mission and just levelling everything is way too fun.
