TIME TO HIDE IN THE BACK OF THE SKY RANGER!

[Chronische]

@mkwarburton86 Laser weapons have a higher accuracy rating, I believe.

[Grimreaper1977]

@Chronische yes, laser rifles are badass ^^

[Chronische]

@Grimreaper1977 Blaster bombs are badass

[highflyingdwarf]

@Chronische How about naming a weapon in this game which isn't badass ;)

I'll give you a cookie if you can do it

[keiyakins]

@highflyingdwarf The starting pistol. That thing is NOT badass,

[highflyingdwarf]

@keiyakins Touche

[HotaruZoku]

Fantastic.

@IronJackalTw

1. Stop SHOUTING.

2. Until you understand what *emergent* gameplay is (and it seems you don't), you are basically arguing with yourself.

3. If it concerns you so much, start making your own games, as I do.

[Siddhartha2]

nice ....

[Siddhartha2]

nice job...

[Siddhartha2]

nice job

[ldicker]

I can't believe how awesome this game still is even 17 YEARS after it was released! I used to spend hours and hours and hours playing this game when I was a kid.

Games like this are far and few inbetween and it's exceedingly rare for such an old game to still be so playable despite the kind of graphics we expect today (they were excellent at the time).

[MediaFilter]

@ldicker Totally. This game is like one of the pinnacles of emergent gameplay -- a design ideal which it seems many game designers have forgotten following about 1995.

[silveryoshi75]

1:14 is the best thing in the game

[DehnusNorder]

I love how the super muscular midget seems to wink before opening full fire ;). As if to tell anybody who isn't alien around him "Don't worry ma'am, I'm from the Intrerwebs!".

[kaizerchar]

do you know where i could get the original geoscape song that made me chill so many times? ty

[KageAKUMA1]

Very Good Cover... Massive Satisfaction :)

[mager56723]

Funny, i though UFO defense was having rookies go up against chrysallids and getting them all killed one by one

[mager56723]

wait, tacling a MUTON terror mission with Personal ramor and the STARTING rifles?

those guys are flipping screwed

[KindaTrue]

Wh-

Did you not see that dude get BLOWN IN HALF by these rook's sheer manly bravado?

That's UFO defense right there, bub

[MajorIronwood]

@mager56723 must be the expendable troops.

[MediaFilter]

@mager56723 haha

[Chronische]

@mager56723 Or they are the most badass x-com agents ever!

[thekkl]

@Chronische You say that now, but you may change your mind when you realize all those shots they just so cooly fired off at the aliens all missed. Yeah. Not only that but there were civilians standing behind them. They got hit. Not sure how, but they fucking did.

[Chronische]

@thekkl So, obviously, the sheer balls of the agents made them go berserk and start killing each other, making them eventually all panic and flee.

So it was a success.

[HotaruZoku]

@thekkl *laughs* And the grenade rolled two blocks.

[Alignn]

@Chronische

complete coincidence, but just as I read that, 0:25 kicked in

aw yeah

[Jendalar]

@mager56723 Autocannon auto-shot taking down 3 mutons yeah!

[3L24]

@mager56723 hey hey they had a minie gun to :)

[mager56723]

@3L24 MUTONS

STARTING WEAPONS

PERSONAL ARMOR

THEY ARE FUCKED

[RunnerLP]

@mager56723 Nope, those are the badasses you WISH you started with.

[Gregsclafani]

@mager56723 I entirely understand. I will add that it is also worth noting that these x-com agents are FLYING.

[k4l4suPP]

Great Job man! Keep it up :)

~Trolly2 from UFO2000 :)

[Rnova2]

The intro Remake of X-com is great, the only thing that feels the lack of sound effects, if any would have been perfect had you. on a scale of 1 to 10 I would give him 9 points

[VillainousOperative]

GET...

...THE HELL OFF...

...MY GOD-DAMNED PLANET!!

Nice remix, I could definitely slaughter aliens to this tune! :D

[nedlee1]

Really cool!

[Alignn]

Sounds kind of what it'd be like if there was a XCOM: The Animated Series

[CloudDideletVII]

They are called Muton, one serious bad mutha@£#% aliens!! Can't wait to play the remake

[LeonSylon]

they are so easy, especially when you have the power to mindcontrol them xD

I'm more afraid of those orange coat-aliens (dunno the english name)

[VillainousOperative]

Ethereals, dude...

They're friggin scary.

[LeonSylon]

kinda. Especially in the last mission, where they always try to mindcontrol your soldiers. gladly, I controlled one of those ethereals with that alien rocket launcher and BLASTED the alien mastermind-thing *maniacal laughter*

Oh, Plasma-Hovertanks rock, by the way^^

[VillainousOperative]

Nice one!

And Plasma/Hovertanks are definitely FTW... I started a new game, and it's kinda hard getting used to not having them as scouts. I have to use Rookies instead... hehehe... >:)

[chris15939]

I think is time to create good Remake this outstanding game.

[GelionEldar]

Thats the intro for X-COM Gold. Much better than the original.

[Vikingmetal82]

Verrrrry nice remix :)

I wonder why they never turned X-Com into a TV-Series...would have been kinda cool, i think :B

[shootanputan]

Yeah I know what mean. I wish they would bring back cartoon and comic book cut scenes in games.The only other game know of that can compare to x-com's intro is strife.

[GelionEldar]

X-files? ;)

[ImperatorSolarius]

It's missing a great deal of the old Electronica sounding charm, I'm afraid. A good attempt, but not the same at all.
