Speculation: Firaxis Working on X-Com Remake?

[ori]

well that makes one decision easy for me

I'm not sure I'll like it. I still play the old games. For an FPS I can always play Heretic.

The anouncement of civ V made me loose the hope for the x-com remake...

There also is a fps about x-com... It sucks.

Looks like it is not Firaxis but another of one of the arrows in the 2K quiver which is making the new X-Com. The possibly sad thing is it is going to be a FPS.

Ugggh! That is sooooo not anything close to a remake. Yeah, we really need another FPS...

Wow, what a major disappointment. It's like they want to remake the XCOM failures that came after XCOM. If they don't want to remake XCOM then show some respect for it's legacy by leaving it alone. The people making this clearly do not understand what made the original game is such a favorite.

yeah that was pretty neutered.

We have the smiley beating the dead horse, now we need one milking a cow for this exact scenario.

Wasn't there a rumour there will be 2 new X-Com games? Hopefully they (Take2 choosing Firaxis of course) make a turnbased one as well, that's the only one I'm gonna buy, that's for sure!
