That Shoulder cape looks patrician as fuck
When are they going to tell us the fifth class? Wasn't it supposed to be announced at the last failed stream?

No. Earliest is September.

I imagine since it's actually a new thing they want to save it for a while.

yikes that's a long ways out

hopefully we see some of the strat layer before that?

I was guesstimating. Don't bank on it. But I wouldn't expect it for a good time off.

My money is on PAX for that.
So basically 2 months away. Prime falls on Aug 28-31 this year, so we gotta wait 'til the end of the summer.
We might see a bit more gameplay and class data before that, I suspect though.

Going silent wouldn't build interest in the game. Though I imagine what we will get will be little drips of information.
It's weird because I don't know what I want to know, I just want to know more.
Do you guys think that XCOM 2 will have a playable demo at Gamescom? They seem to have a pretty large booth this year, so I'm hoping to get some gameplay there.

IIRC this hasn't been posted. Apologies if it has.
edit: the commentary-less version, to be specific.
Advent goons look baller. I hope we can get their armor as deco unlocks or something.

sounds like the ADVENT are speaking german, or some sort of mixed language.

We didn't save South America, so this is gonna take a few days...

Probably some tactical conlang so that you can't tell what they are saying.

XCOM Previsualization. Not sure what can be drawn from it.
Analysis:
-Possible insight into Grenadier - grenade launcher secondary weapon?
-Some showing of waypoints system?
Stream starting shortly, be back soon.
Where is the stream happening?
Twitch, like all firaxis streams.

so basically they put an emphasis on integrating cinematic stuff without slowing the game down. i'm pretty sure that camera cut for the nosedive into the window was dynamic, and they literally meant that overwatch fire will follow your troop to his/her next cover so you never know if they're gonna make it until the last second. awesome.
Analysis of stream:
-Hacking is for more than objectives and turrets - doors are affected
-Extraction - not all missions require it (presumably you leg it after those or something) and it will take two turns to arrive.
-MECs indirectly confirmed to be cyborg units
-Hinting on speaker in intro - pretty likely thin mint
-Bradford concept art
-Overwatch mechanics confirmed for real, not demo magic. Move ranges were demo magic though
-Car wrecks destructible
-Berserker roar made with flamerthrower, pig squeal, tiger and elephant sounds and yelling firaxis staff.
-Exalt no longer in play. Possible other factions though.
-XCOM lost due to Council turning their backs on XCOM early on.
- And last but not least, cover affects concealment - with it both allowing closer enemy approaches with full and flanks continuing to be your bane.

No, I'm saying the advent mecs started as humans. Also, my kingdom for a bad reading rating.

Damnit. Got my hopes up for nothing.

Don't abandon entirely, we still don't know what the trooper effecting loot does and what the 5th class is, but yeah, implausible.
Also, there was mention of beam weapons. I could see several ways to read that:
XCOM only gets lasers, no plasma
Or
Plasma is renamed
Or
It works similarly to Xenonauts, and we have 4 weapon tiers.
