Game looks really good. And it's out sooner than I thought.

Looks fantastic. Do kinda wish it was Halo Tactics instead however. Gears is probably more suited to Xcom, but I'm not particularly interested in the universe.

Hopefully they're wise enough to include mod support, as imo that's usually what separates good strategy games from timeless ones.

Didn't this use to look worse graphically.? Now it looks like Gears 5 with a tactic interface which is pretty cool

Oooh, if this is actually good... I just got burned out on Xcom2 but this genre is loads of fun. And JD looks majorly cute šŸ„°

Been waiting for this forever since the announcement, can't wait. Looking well worth the wait.

Doesn't seem to be permadeath... probably for the best.
Wonder about that 40 hour length... It's going to be really hard to balance that difficulty and progression curve.

The game looks way better than I initially thought it would be. The graphics are almost Gears 5 level.

If you'd told me back at the 360's launch that XCOM would have enough of a resurgence that Microsoft would use this license to make a turn-based tactics copycat in 2019, I sure would not have believed you.

They're not holding back, this looks good.

My only negative, is that the fact that it looks like it has a campaign with a main character means we might not be seeing permadeath like X-Com?

Other than that I'm liking what I see.

Glad that at least it seems the reason they were so quiet on it since it's announcment a year ago is because they had some cool stuff planned. Considering how much of a mess Gears5 ended up being I'm going to cautiously wait until it comes out to see just how much live service they pump into the game, but it seems like good Xcom fun

Then who is it? I know nothing about the story in these games, only played a bit of Gears 5.

Looked kinda like him? Or a young Marcus Fenix (that his correct name?) šŸ˜…

Some of the in-game animations look pretty stiff tho, hope it gets smoothed out
It seems to be all new characters, except for the main villain who is from the comics
Apparently it's Kait's dad actually.
