Quote:Which makes one wonder - the market for a good Turn-based is filled with seething discontent - why doesn't anyone capitalize on it? I mean, seriously, they're not that hard to make, but apprently no game developer who's worth their two bits are willing to tackle this.
the brothers (Gollup)who made xcom should gallup back to what they know and we love , make money for sure !
It seems as if take2 games , or 2k games are at least thinking of a UFO/Xcom revival , have a look at Strategy Core site , hmmmm , very interesting .
EDIT : xcom page

Really looking forward to this. No hit-points, yay! I hope the physics are working. Squad-based Combat Mission scenario with X-Com / JA gameplay sounds fun to me. I also hope that this is a wargame, not some action-rpg (again). The thing that gets me most excited, however, is that this will be TURN-BASED. Not sure what you need 100's of different guns for?
Release will be around June 15 (according to their forum and slitherine's website).
If this is remotely close to a turn-based version of Company of Heroes or Men of War, I MAY be able to uninstall JA2. I really need to flank/shoot/interrupt something else.
For anybody interested: strategycore has a nice article about the game: http://www.strategycore.co.uk/articles/previews/team-assault-baptism-of-fire-preview/

lockieI have been playing UFO Extraterrestrials
How do you like it? It is pretty good, hu? I like that there is a reasonable large amount of maps so that playing the same "type" of environment doesn't get instantly boring, however there is no randomization on the maps, just enemy positioning. I also like the weapons / research progression, it is much better than UFO:AI, which isn't done yet, I know.
However I believe you can't die if I remember correctly? Or was that UFO:AI? Basically when you get shot you fall to the ground and then the amount of time you need to heal depends on how severe your injury was. I believe you can "cheat" this a little by prolonging combat and appying med kits, maybe I am confusing this with UFO:AI again?
The flying saucer aliens are pretty deadly, you better take them out as soon as you see them, one hit and your guy is almost done for.

True . Not so annoying though , as you lose the troops for a considerable time , depending on severity of wounds .
Quote:The flying saucer aliens are pretty deadly, you better take them out as soon as you see them, one hit and your guy is almost done for.
The further you go , even the 'floating blobs' , which are one shot kills earlier , are tougher and deadlier .
Balance seems good weapon progression too , all in all , not a bad game at all !

HoMM are capitalising all right on this market (Heroes of Might & Magic). But thats about it.
The game industry is the new Hollywood nowdays. Delivers cheap action thrills in a package 10 times more expensive than a movie ticket. And people buy it. It's that simple. Games for people with brains don't make money, because you wont rush to buy the next addon as easy as a 10 year old would.
That depends on how shiny you like your games... Form the top of my head, that wasnt mentioned here: The free Battle for Wesnoth. Panzer corps very enjoyable [..] Paradox has been making deep strategy games for a while (including HOI if you don't mind RTwP)
Anyway there is nothing more more annoying than someone who goes to each blockbuster movies, just so they can complain how shallow they are. AKA as people who keep playing AAA TBS and.. at best AAA TBS should be consumed one year after the fact with some mod that add depth.
