GamesRadar have had a first exclusive look at XCOM, the 2K FPS inspired by the ever popular XCOM games from the early and mid-ninties. The Bioshock developers aren’t a cocky bunch, not in the slightest.
“We’re really good at making shooters”,
according to 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.”
Sounds interesting and looks even more so. Check out the screens below and tell us what you think.
I’m loving the 1950s setting. Lovely! In the 50s in America the idea of UFOs/invaders were quite real to a lot of people. It should get a nice feeling of paranoia across. Fantastic!
Visually the 50s look it great too. Dull primary colours, shades of yellow and brown and clean and sharp character design. Retroplayer likes.
