  • it will release on my birthday,.... :P 9th march

  • why cant they just make it an actual game people would buy. this is just stupid

  • Ive been waiting for this game Im pissed its not out yet

  • Its going to be realeased in 2013 so you'll never play it

  • Comment removed

  • Arriving 2011 FUCK YEAHH....wait what..

  • did this game come out? it never came out in ireland

  • Started off looking like L.A. Noire, then turned into L.A. Noire with fucking oily, alien monsters.

  • It got delayed. Tear? :'(

  • This isn't the first departure from the turn based shooter format the X-Com series of games has taken. Bit disappointed by graphics though :(

  • I wish they could have at least brought back old X-Com enemies like chryssalids :(

  • nuke town has its own game?

  • @STEVATUNA this is the '50s set in the XCOM universe

  • DAMN I CAN'T PLAY FPS GAMES SO I BETTER HAVE A LITTLE CRY ABOUT IT.

  • eh

  • 0:08 That is the House from "The One That Got Away" By Katy Perry! Holy SHIT!

  • so many fps nowadays

  • BEHOLD!!! ITS THE ATTACK OF THE BLACK SPERM &...tEtriS BlockS?Really?And the people look like the guys from Team Fortress!!! But good idea of an old fashioned town attacked by Aliens,But Really?

    XCOM: TETRIS MOTHER SHIP INCOMING!!!

  • So, I'm confused. Are you supposed to be like Majestic 12 hunting Aliens? Because the Game Informer cover showed a Grey Alien. But this shows like. Black sludge. No I haven't played the one from '94 so idk what it's about.

  • ironi : when the oil start to kill the americans XD

  • im sorry a game set in the 50's where you run around shooting black shit

    i think i'll pass

  • looks hard as hell omg

  • if you don't like this game than play the X-com remake.

  • Black stuff looks like that black shit out of resi5. Looking forward to this nonetheless though

  • I like the setting and premise. I'll definitely get it to see how it fits in to XCOM plot-wise. It looks fun, and I don't think it deserves all of the flak it gets. Realize that this is a prequel, there is probably an explanation for why the aliens do not look the same. While I agree it doesn't look near as fun as XCOM, there is no reason to attack it, it looks fun on it's own right. Plus, now that there is going to be a true sequel, why complain?

  • Everyone who wants the REAL X-Com go to Xenonauts.

  • Xcom's Aliens don't look like that. At all.

  • Wow there's some PS2 graphics going on in there lol

  • So this is a game about suburban white people in the 50's being terrified of encroaching blackness...uh....yeah. :(

  • Is this the same game, or different as xcom:enemy unknown (2011)

  • man it is the remake of xcom the first game unkown enemy

  • why does this feel and look the same as another Bioshock? take pictures study them for weaknesses....and?

  • LOL DELAYED TILL 2013! DERP

  • LOL IGN TYPO IN THE DESCRIPTION "Check out the new trailer for this thrilling new XCOM trailer"

  • @MrTracker12345 LMAO a trailer withing a trailer?! TRAILCEPTION!

  • looks cool, I'll try it. but to me it looks like it would make a better movie then a game

  • XCOM and XCOM: Enemy Unknown are like a repeat of the X-COM: Alliance and X-COM: Genesis days, except that now they'll probably actually see the light of day. SWEET!!!

  • This game will be great

  • Rule #1 No FPS shall be an RTS

    Rule #2 No RTS shall be a FPS

    Similar examples Brutal Legend. Great Game bogged down by terrible gameplay mechanics.

  • ehh......

  • GOOD NEWS!

    There will be ANOTHER version of X-COM. Faraxis, the developer of the Civilization series, has just announced on January 5, 2012, that they are working on a remake of X-COM: UFO DEFENSE. It's called "X-COM: ENEMY UNKNOWN", and that one will a squad-based strategy game.

    Don't believe me? Google for: "Faraxis X-COM"

  • They call this XCOM?? Slicks of fucking OIL??? FPS???

    THIS is an insult to all the years we all spent playing the UFO and XCom games!!!!!!

    THIS IS A DISGRACE!!!

    I FUS RO DAH ON THIS SHIT!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAA

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAA...(shoots himself)

  • @chobankovic Chill. Look up X-COM: Alliance. Even many of the original developers thought a Squad-based FPS was a good idea, as that idea almost dates back as far as UFO Defense (1995 or so).

    I'd say the biggest insult is all the crappy UFO titles that came out in the mid-2000s that just sucked. No one knows how good or bad this game is going to wind up being at present.

  • this game has been moved to 2013 thanx to all u PC faggots moaning bout it not being like the original blah blah... calm yo tits bitches. theyre remaking XCOM: ENEMY UNKOWN... consoles will have the upclose ground version of it like mass effect looks and PC will have both the upclose and the skyview of it like command and conquer... better graphics. same world view u guys love to stare at. and both systems are gunne be played the same with those strategies you love of limited ammo n stuff.

  • so... this game out yet?

  • Looks like a ps2 game

  • Comment removed

  • WHY??? The aliens in xcom aren't moving oil slicks! What happened to individual races???

  • Really? An FPS reboot of XCOM? What's next? A multiplayer shooter remake of Myst?

  • Although 2K Marin basically just took a dump on their fan base, I'm still planning to get this game... whether or not I actually BUY the game is still in question though >:D

  • Que es esta mierda, no te puedo creer que le pongan XCOM a un FPS del monton. Un robo total dejense de joder es vergonzoso.

  • this does not make sence should i play the first games to know the story or should i just not care

  • @MrDubblejinx The game is supposedly a prologe, so either way

  • @MrDubblejinx * Prequel

  • In the beginning I loved this idea. Taking the X-COM gameplay and then put yourself on the field sounded like an idea that would put the player in a much more exciting experience. At least from my perspective. But then they even cut out the essential part of not killing your team members? That was the reason I would buy it! The fact that I start to care about them, and see them fight by my side. The feeling I could have when I couldn't save a teammate is gone and so is the chance of me buying it

  • Science in XCOM:

    Observation - Outsider infiltrators are physically weak

    Theory - A shotgun shell could blow them to kingdom come

    Experimentation - [BLAM]

    Conclusion - THEORY CONFIRMED.

  • Love how its set in the same living room and then outside the front yard :D

  • so this is basically like that new movie with invisible aliens. but this one is better because you can shoot these with guns. yay

  • Use your science bullets to shoot the things!

    Use squad based tactics to get your allies out of the way!

    Its an intricate game of tactics where you shoot everything!

    We don't know anything about our enemy, apart from their love of cover and generic humanoid appearance!

    They are turning people into monsters by entering their face! Its like nothing we have ever seen all the time!

  • @MrCompassionate01 there is a other xcom game from Firaxis.. it seems more legit than this.(squad based tattic game -it seems similar to freedom force in gameplay but I am not sure) but I am very careful..

  • Kind of disappointed your main enemy just appears to be slime. But I'm not expecting a 2 min trailer do the game justice, still looks very interesting to play and I'm looking forward to buying this.

  • FUCK ALL YOU PEOPLE COMLAINING ABOUT THIS! STARCRAFT WAS THE BEST RTS SO GTFO, THIS NEW GAME LOOKS FUCKING SICK

  • @codyschuyler You are mixing two types of games up...starcraft was is a RTS, X-COM is a TBS... two different things m8

  • Well, I really liked Bioshock and suspect this will be a fun little game. Seems more of a 50ies meets 2001 plus Astronaut's wife*, though, than X-com. Oh, how I wish they'd remake Terror from the Deep, the best in the series. :P

    *Don't bother seeing it if you haven't, it's really not that good.

  • Comment removed

  • lol @the butthurt xcom fanboys raging for xcom being a fps when it isn´t released yet.

  • @megakillerx We are raging because this game is a obvious cash-in by 2K. I think they are doing it because they want to make a quick buck before Bioshock Infinite comes out, and besides they're making a TBS remake of XCOM so in the end everyone wins.

  • @DjFobse95 You're attempting to rationalize with a YouTube user "megakillerx". Just wanted to point that out.

  • Cancel this and just let Firaxis handle everything.

  • What's up with the ugly graphics?

  • srsly WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?!

  • So basically they took everything that was great about xcom (the entire premise of a series of games) decided it was no longer relevant and then proceeded to shit out this generic FPS hoping no one would notice??? Xcom isn't exactly the biggest name in video game history, but it has a small player base of loyal fans.You think your fans aren't going to notice this is regurgitated FPS bullshit??? Congratulations, you just ended a franchise. I hope the hundreds of dollars you make were worth it.

  • @KacyKaine "2K Marin assured they would keep elements from the original game, such as squad and base management, free-form non-linear mission progression, and squad-based tactical combat" This makes me curious about it. It's clearly not related to XCOM in anything but name though. Different time line and different aliens. Two true XCOM remakes are on the books though. Xenonauts and XCOM: Enemy Unknown.

  • SUX ASSSESS

  • Looks awesome. Fuck the fanboys & haterz.

  • @mattsn1p yeah but they slapped Xcom over a fps Xcom is an rts

  • it reminds me of the movie the Darkest hour

  • They took out the cartoon look to "appeal to the Call of Duty audience." They are not even trying anymore

  • Good news for REAL X-com fans: FIRAXIS is doing an X-com strategy game! Google x-com firaxis

  • thumbs up if you want cole phelps for protagonist

  • This looks like it would be a terrifying and awesome game if it wasn't BioShock. Honestly, the graphics are the same, right down to the way you hold weapons. What a load of crap.

  • watch?v=nc7IVbY3UYg

    Way better "sequel" than this one...

  • Wtf is this? Seriously, approaching 2 decades now waiting for a good sequel to this game. Just downloaded the original from steam and it's still an awesome game(works fine on Windows 7). All someone has to do is slap a coat of paint on it and it'd be golden. Instead, I'm having to face the reality that I may die of old age before I see a good sequel.

  • nothing bout the origonal this is 2k the good ones are microprose

  • Meh

  • This might be a good game but prolly wont come close to the original RTS

  • @MEumbridge XCOM is a TURN BASED strategy, not REAL TIME.

  • Honestly, this doesnt look like the Xcom I know

  • 1:54 i do that with ants!!!

  • @SeamusMcCarty It's set in 1962!! : )

  • While this seems it could be a potentially good game... this.... this just isn't the X-Com I know and love. Thumbs down to 2K, this game had better got some sort of twist to make this fantastic like the original was.

  • xcoM rip

  • Goody! Another game to wreck to X-COM. Another game that's nothing like the original.... And sucks. Did I say it has nothing to do with the original ?

  • cant wait

  • man this game looks amazing

  • I have to watch an ad, to watch an ad..... WTF

  • I love that every aspect of this game involves a shotgun... what a piece of shit! This isnt Xcom at all! its just call of Duty 2 again... with Aliens...

  • This is comepletly different than the last game

  • Looks like pants; Xcom isn't supposed to be Team Fortress: Greatest Generation Edition.

  • I think 2k really love the 40's!:)

  • this abortion isn't xcom.

  • What the imperial fuck is this. It's good, but would be better if not connected to X-com.

  • Yes, it's bioshock game named xcom. Nobody ever did a decent sequel after the great xcom series.

  • Seriously?! A Dark Slime Shooter game? Named XCOM? Must be a joke...

  • 20 thumbs up and I will pre-order this

  • Lol this looks more like Bioshock than XCOM. Not that thats a bad thing since Bioshock is one of the best games of all time.

  • this looks stupid :(

  • @stothecb

    quoted for truth

  • This isnt XCOM, its Bioshock with XCOMs name slapped all over it. Fuck you 2k Marin for turning one of the greatest RTS games ever into a generic FPS.

  • @DjFobse95 At least it looks like a rather decent FPS, things could be much worse.

  • @DjFobse95 sorry but bioshock is not a generic fps

  • @DjFobse95 XCOM is turn based, not real time.

  • @DjFobse95 I can agree with you on them riuning a TBS (not rts) by impementing heavy fps gameplay, however you cant just grab every game with a 1950s setting and say its bioshock or fallout.

  • @ChazznSmash I apoligize for my mistake by calling X-Com a RTS I was rushing out of the door and didny have time to correct myself. Secondly im not judging the game because its set in the 1950's, im judging it because it looks like Bioshock, from the weapons, the art style, the graphics, everything. To me this game looks like a rejected DLC for Bioshock 2.

  • @DjFobse95 WAHHHHH

  • @DjFobse95 there's going to be a RTS and an FPS being released

  • @DjFobse95 BIOSHOCK WAS AWESOME!!!!

  • @DjFobse95 again, X-COM is not an RTS... It's a TBS...

  • @CarlosReapeR Support Xenonauts... it's on Desura. the Alpha is amazing.

  • @CarlosReapeR ...very funny

  • @CarlosReapeR turn based strategy?

  • @DjFobse95 Dude game isn't even out yet and your telling the Devs fuck you... srsly guy? Wait for the product to come out before downing it you fucking idiot.

  • @DjFobse95 Oh not this nostalgia shit again. Get over it, XCOM was dead anyway, you ought to thank 2K.

  • @DjFobse95 so you didn't know about the Remake of X-Com: Enemy Unknow comming this year?

  • @ElGatoNinja I found out after i posted this comment :D

  • Comment removed

  • needs better aliens i dont want to run around shooting slime or slime in human bodys come on what are you thinking?

  • i was waiting for the Ghostbusters to show up for some reason

  • How you dare defile the memories of the great rooftop Xcom series!!

  • this game looks horrible- and what really sucks is that if (or rather when) it fails, we'll never get a real xcom game

  • What ever da fuck that dat Creator been smoking lol????????????

  • STUDY THEM.

    *Shotgun blast*

    SCIENCE.

  • fucking killing a grease stain

    WTF

  • desecration the light name of X-COM: Enemy Unknown

  • ALLRIGHT ANOTHER MOFKN FPS GAME

  • I preffer Sumer Mario Bross than this crap

  • @junker87stuka1 Well I think that "Sumer Mario Bross" is utter horse shit compared to this game.. play something that's not overrated for once in your life.

  • Once I saw this game in a Xbox mag I knew it would be good. And all it took to set me to getting the game was a creators diary log and this trailer; cant wait for release. The 1940's America theme is awesome, better than all these new games set in the furture.

  • @Rydia20 yes yes I mean games set around that era, from the 40's to the 60's, anything with that vintage "old" America feeling

  • BETRAYAL!!!

  • The franchise went downhill with Enforcer and things anyway, I wouldn't be too surprised if this game flops. I'll be disappointed and heartbroken, but not surprised at all.

  • the graphic it looks like its for ps2

  • looks cool, but wtf is going on?

  • well good to know that suggested system requirements for this game will be p4 @ 2.80 Ghz 256MB video card and 1gb of RAM oh and the suggested OS would be like Windows Xp or Win2K

  • So all the aliens are a bunch of ink splotches?

  • @2PAC4LYPSE From gamestops website, it says 3/6/12 sadly. I thought this game would be here in time for the holidays. But looks like when this comes out, I will be getting closer to Grand Theft Auto V:) but yeahhhhh 3/6/12 :((((

  • release date?

  • I think the comments just go to show 2 things:

    1. People don't know shit about the game industries developers and history

    2. Fanboys are still a huge scourge on this planet. You guys can berate all you want, clinging to your past without even playing the actual game. If you love the classic so much, then go fucking play it instead of bitching

  • games based on the future are getting kind of boring

  • @iGoTExXxTRa well its a good thing that this game isnt based on the future

  • To see, without equivocation, one the GREATEST games of ALL TIME, a game I loved as a child, a game that combined elements of strategy, action, and resource management that required you to use more than one brain cell and yet was still incredibly fun, being "remade" into this garbage! Yet another FPS that requires a minimum IQ of no more than that of a shoelace?! *sigh* Words simply cannot express my sadness...

  • I think next year we will see good single player fps'.

  • Beginning kinda looks like Mafia II, doesn't it?

  • 0:55 OH no, its the puke from Jennifer's Body

  • we see after if game is out then we give rating not now lol omg i love alien games.i wanna play this

  • l.a noire/bioshock/50's much?

  • @thiswask It IS supposed to be in the 50's and its the creators who made bioshock I think too ( I may be wrong there) And the L.A Noire part idk, In the older x-com games you also could study them and those things.

  • @JTGN7 No, Team Bondi, a branch under Rockstar games (GTA & Red Dead Redemption) made L.A. Noire

    2K Boston is largely responsible for Bioshock, However, 2K Boston, Marin, and Australia all used to be one company, multiple studios working in unison. Now they are split with Marin working on X-com, Boston working on Bioshock Infinite and Australia providing support for both. Not lecturing , just informing you.

  • @theabridgekid I didnt say 2K boston made LA Noire :) check again.

  • fail game.march 2012 is gonna be released.

  • i grew up with x-com when i was a nipper. turn based, watching planet earth spin as aliens pinged on the radar, thats X-COM. This is looking like another bunch jumping on the fps band wagon to match COD and Battlefield... no sense of pride anymore for the old school gamers

  • Comment removed

  • this reminds me of bioshock kinda

  • @NinjaFaceGames Same creators so that's probably why

  • how the hell is fighting slime gonna be fun

  • As good as this looks, I just don't think it's right to completely change the gameplay genre of a game series so iconic as XCOM.

  • have u noticed that 2k have always made games set in the old days bioshock 1 2

    darkness etc

  • That lady at the beginning is scout's mom.

  • who cares about this shit,does it have good multiplayer?
