This looks really promising, I can't wait for the gameplay trailer.
*Alien activity intensifies*
How much longer till the reveal? :v:
I'm waiting for the revelation that it's possible to save and acquire human-sectoid hybrid squaddies.
They're probably going to be a bit more pink this time though, since the sectoids are now like 7 foot tall pink assholes.
Did you guys see that flying HQ? It looked fucking awesome, I'm already imagining how I'll decorate the damn thing.
It will be interesting to (hopefully) see some gameplay during E3.

And now i have BeagleRush's theme for Ironman Impossible ringing in my head again.
[i]God damn it.[/i]
Never played any of the XCOM games. Hearing about this new one makes me wanna try the reboot one that came out recently. Should I play the shooter one too? I hear bad things about that one.

Aaaaaaand hype train has reached destination.
As I was saying before the thread closed, if the modding tools are as extensive and open as they say they're gonna be, right up to making our own classes and aliens, this could be GOTYAY for so many people for the sheer replayability and content value of it all. Hell, maybe some mad genius will make the next Fall From Heaven with XCOM 2?
That said XCOM 2 does come across as a little plain and lazy in terms of naming things. Back in the day we had UFO Defense as the original, then Terror from the Deep, then Apocalypse, THEN after many years they rebooted to XCOM: Enemy Unknown with the expansion called Enemy Within, and now it's just "uh yeah it's the second one" when they could have added an interesting and relevant subtitle like "Terror from Within" or "UFO Uprising". Doesn't matter all that much, but it's the little touches that help.

I like to think of The Bureau as cute. I didn't like it though. Not because it wasn't strategy, I just didn't care for it.
Holy shit, Hybrids (or some kind of analogue to them), Snakemen, a huge flying XCOM base, machetes, stun-drones, so fucking hyped. Looks like the aliens are totally overt in their control. I'm personally glad they're going the alien route rather than the EXALT route, there's [I]far[/I] more interesting character designs to be had with aliens.
With the flying base, and how they talked about city centers being built world-wide, I'm guessing this it's just going to take place in one city. I'm betting there's going to be more strategic elements, with a slower skyranger and positioning your base around the world to avoid detection.
That Opening Post.
I love it.
That's a pretty swank OP there.
And holy shit that reveal. I am bouncing off the walls I am so fucking hype.

And like I said in the trailer thread, I would not object to the XCOM Initiative recruiting turncoat aliens, like later on you're able to recruit a Snakeman who wants to tear the Ethereal oligarchy down to the ground just as much as you do.

Post-trailer plot-twist: you actually work for the aliens, guys shown in the trailer are the new EXALT.
Best OP/10
Who is ready for grandma Vahlen, dead Shen and grandpa Bradford? I wonder if this is actually a sequel or an alternate timeline.
Also looting system, woo. Hope it comes with a full grid inventory.

There's a screenshot of a jungle map, I'm sure it's not going to be just cities.
So either the plot takes off after the [sp]Bad-Ending condition to EU/EW[/sp] or soon after [sp]destroying the Temple Ship, a much larger army comes to conquer, according to what that one Ethereal saying "There is a a threat greater than us"[/sp]
I'm really hyped either way.
New tactics are going to be fucking awesome. Can't wait to breach from an alley and ambush some fucks. Or carry my fallen soldiers to safety, even.

For a Nov 2015 release date, you can bet it will be.
Have not been hyped like this in quite some time, even if its just Xcom EU with a fresh coat of paint with modding support i'm so fucking keen.
Shouldn't the trailer for XCOM 2 be in the OP? The other threads aren't going to be popular after a couple of days.
So I wonder how they're going to handle [sp]the Volunteer surviving.[/sp]
The thread is called "XCOM 2" and XCOM 2 isn't in the OP at all.

My automerge!
The current UI, direct from the site:
[IMG_THUMB]http://downloads.2kgames.com/xcom2/media_images/01_x2_screens_media.jpg[/IMG_THUMB]
Pretty similar so far, but some of these bars and abilities look interesting.
Thread Title is supposed to be V3, i fucked it. Anyways ill add the trailer soon, i just wanna work some photoshop magic first, to make a "case" about XCOM 2.
Welcome back, Commander
I can't even remember the last time I was actually hyped for a game release, and I wasn't particularly overwhelmed with the idea of an X-COM sequel at first, but the fact you're the guerilla resistance now and its set further in the future just has me really excited about X-COM 2
