The Bureau: XCOM Declassified

Citata

2K Games announced today the development of XCOM, a new first person shooter exclusively on the Xbox 360 and PC. XCOM is currently being developed by 2K Marin, the studio behind Bioshock 2, which sold millions since launched. The game will be filled with a suspense-filled narrative and distills it into a tense and unique first-person shooter experience.

“With BioShock 2, the team at 2K Marin proved themselves as masters of first-person, suspenseful storytelling, and with XCOM they will re-imagine and expand the rich lore of this revered franchise,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “Players will explore the world of XCOM from an immersive new perspective and experience firsthand the fear and tension of this gripping narrative ride.”

XCOM is the re-imagining of the classic tale of humanity’s struggle against an unknown enemy that puts players directly into the shoes of an FBI agent tasked with identifying and eliminating the growing threat. True to the roots of the franchise, players will be placed in charge of overcoming high-stake odds through risky strategic gambits coupled with heart-stopping combat experiences that pit human ingenuity – and frailty – against a foe beyond comprehension. By setting the game in a first-person perspective, players will be able to feel the tension and fear that comes with combating a faceless enemy that is violently probing and plotting its way into our world.

 

XCOM will be available exclusively on the Xbox 360 and PC. No release date are set but it is slated to come out this year. Check back with us later this week for more.

The Official Xbox Magazine got the first look at 2K's upcoming XCOM title this month, with the first details on the game revealing that there's cause for both hope and concern among fans of the original's strategic twist.

 

The causes for hope? As promised when first revealed, there is some element of research and strategic planning to be had, with researchers and engineers working on new weapons and a choice of missions on offer that come and go in real-time, meaning the game's outcome will vary depending on which ones you choose and complete.

 

And the causes for concern? Well, the report makes it sound like your actual input on things like research is minimal, while the missions you can choose sound pre-programmed, and not the result of your active measures in combating the alien menace. Worse still is the suggestion that, at the time of the playthrough, while you had allies in the field with you as part of a promised "tactical" throwback to the original games, you couldn't actually issue any commands to them.

 

The other key take-away from the piece is that, story-wise, this isn't your Grandfather's X-Com, your Air Force base, FBI credentials and retro aesthetic a world away from the sci-fi trappings of Enemy unknown and Terror From The Deep.

 

Head below for a summary of the entire thing, which we'll point out now, is a game still in development (so stuff can change!). It's all sounding pretty great as a new game. But as an X-Com game? I'm beginning to have my doubts.

Though we've seen OXM's coverage of the upcoming XCOM reboot, PC Gamer also have a piece on the game, and it's now online. There's not much new in the way of info, but there's now some screenshots for you to...enjoy?

 

As you can see, this isn't a 50's-inspired America, it is 50's America. And while we've already caught the gist of the details from OXM's article, the following quote is new, serving perhaps as the crux of both the developer's intentions and long-time X-Com fan's fears.

 

"We're really good at making shooters" says design director Jonathan Pelling. "We've got a lot of experience doing that, and I think that provides a unique opportunity to present XCOM in a much more immersive and intimate format. Putting it into the first-person shooter is going to blow it up a little bit."

taigi 50' Amerika.nauji screenai.....errr...viskas lyg ir idomu ,tik nereikejo jo pavadint Xcom,arba nereikejo sakytr tada kas ji susijes su Xcom serija...damn..gal jie nera lose Xcom..

After one year from the latest updates on XCOM, the guys at 2K Marin shamelessly take advantage of the spotlight at E3 to show a new video game and announce, in so doing, the day of marketing on PC, Xbox 360 and, new to this 'Today, the PlayStation 3.

 

The glorious saga that has made the fortune of MicroProse, the XCOM has only the name and little else: the title, it will be a first-person shooter set in the '50s when a group of government agents finds himself forced to face a scary alien mutant form rained down from heaven (or some absurd parallel dimension) and managed to take control of a pleasant country town.

 

In the trailer you can view at top of this article can be seen for the first time power system devised by the developers to change the gaming experience in a manner not too different from that experienced with weapons modular BioShock 2, their latest work. The output XCOM is expected for March 6, 2012.

cia gi tas pats ankstesnis Xcom kur buvo kuriamas ,tik dabar pakeistas pavadinimas dalinai ir kazkiek pats zaidimas. nera cia naujas zaidimas.

A slew of new The Bureau: XCOM Declassified press previews went live a short while ago as 2K Games debuted the game’s first gameplay trailer.

 

We’ve summarized details from IGN’s article below. You can also read up on previews from Eurogamer, GameSpot, CVG, Joystiq, and Videogamer.

 

- Game has the same short gray sectoid soldiers as Enemy Unknown

- In Declassified, the sectoids move in real time

- The press demo has the sectoids moving in real time, and following a tall, lanky master as they brazenly strolled across what used to be an idyllic 1960s small-town America mainstreet like they owned the place

- Area is a warzone, lacks human life and is scarred with the smoking remains of bombed-out cars and burnt corpses

- Control a three-man squad

- Slow time with a button press, entering Battle Focus mode

- Play as XCOM agent William Carter

- Use Battle Focus to order your two disposable and renamable partners

- This alien encounter occurs 47 days into the invasion, though it is 1962

- The freshly minted XCOM bureau already has a variety of advanced weaponry and abilities at its disposal

- Other two agents have laser submachine guns and stat-boosting backpacks that look like unlicensed particle accelerators

- Carter only has two abilities at this particular point: a telekinetic lift and squad heal

- Battle Focus control wheel gives you access to your partners’ Engineer and Commando abilities

- The two can move, shooter, and also use a flashbang grenade, a proximity mine, the ability to summon a turret, and a Force push power that blasts weaker enemies out of cover

- Most of these intend to get enemies out from behind cover for easy kills

- Aliens can and will dash for cover

- The team hopes that the third-person tactical combat will make the game feel like an XCOM title

- When a soldier dies, you can run over to revive him or order the third squad member to help him up

- Eventually, they’ll bleed out and take their leveled-up abilities with them.

- Replacing casualties is slightly easier than in XCOM, since you don’t have to level them up before their class is revealed

- Zudjari: dying race of nomads who need to consume planets in order to survive, and they’ve enslaved familiar XCOM aliens like the sectoids and mutons to serve as their front-line soldiers

- Zudjari commanders have many different abilities, including recharging shields, calling in turrets, etc.

- Collectively, the alien force is known as the Outsiders

- The press demo eventually leads players to the XCOM agent DaSilva

- DaSilva’s men were seen earlier as the burned corpses

- DaSilva has been infected by the Sleepwalker virus, a bug that causes humans to bleed black goo from their faces and become mentally trapped in a loop of the last few moments before infection

- Players can determine the fate of certain characters through their decisions

- You can tell DaSilva to encourage him to hold out for a cure or let him go out in a blaze of glory to take down as many aliens as possible

- 2K Marin says that the black goo-ball silacoids are intended to function like attack dogs in World War II and cause trouble for entrenched soldiers

- Muton: brutish soldier, roughly 12 feet tall, covered in heavy armor

- No base development, no researching technology, and nocapturing live aliens (you’ll simply pick up a dead alien’s gun and start firing

- Some optional side missions

- Won’t be able to go on random missions like Enemy Unknown’s abductions and UFO recoveries
