2K's upcoming game: Advent - Polidicks

Can't wait for The Neo-Bureau: XCOM Declassified. /s

There's some reused XCOM stuff in the concepts as well: [img]http://www.openxcom.com/content/modimages/SNKJRRGS052620150816.png[/img] [img]http://ufopaedia.org/images/c/c9/Movie_1_%28EU2012%29.png[/img] [img]http://www.openxcom.com/content/modimages/RJFKTZZR052620150809.png[/img] [img]http://ufopaedia.org/images/e/e5/Movie_8_%28EU2012%29.png[/img] [img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/83912562/advent_soldier_silouette.png[/img] Edit: And one of the ADVENT citizens has thin man eyes.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;47802531]First vibe is Watch_dogs: 2K edition.[/QUOTE] Yeah but 2K has a fairly decent track record of the first one or two games being great before they go to shit so this might be good.

At first I thought this would have something to do with Advent Rising. Sadly not though it seems.

[QUOTE=Mort Stroodle;47808148]Can't wait for The Neo-Bureau: XCOM Declassified. /s[/QUOTE] I still think they should of called the 2010 game something else instead of butchering it to make it fit the other games better.

Also, the hacking text says look for our [i]signs[/i]. Look at the images I posted.

Dr. Shen talks often about the impact of what we discovered on society (in XCOM). While the exploration of that was something I thought would be interesting, from what we've seen so far I'm hesitant on saying, or wanting this to be an XCOM sequel.

It looks like they're updating the website with more hacking text, as the "Protect" "Propagate" blocks of text now gets replaced with "we are still watching". This definitely sounds like a XCOM game to me.

[QUOTE=Durrsly;47808991]I still think they should of called the 2010 game something else instead of butchering it to make it fit the other games better.[/QUOTE] People may not have liked the FPS version that was going to be made, but fuck if it didn't look better then what we got in the end. Like, between a choice of a genuinely interesting FPS that isn't 100% accurate to the previous games, or a generic as fuck third person shooter, I'd take the FPS any day.

I'm just hoping it's cyberpunk

I also think that ADVENT gives off a feeling like EXALT in the name, not to mention the gene modding as well

Please be System Shock-related.

It seems very likely to be a new XCOM game, which is great.

[QUOTE=Valiantttt;47810518]I also think that ADVENT gives off a feeling like EXALT in the name, not to mention the gene modding as well[/QUOTE] I dunno, EXALT really doesn't seem like an interesting main antagonist group. Like, they're really just a big exclusive club for rich cunt suspender-wearing terrorists to make some cash off the alien invasion. They always struck me as kind of pathetic, getting curb-stomped by XCOM, who had better weapons, better organization, more resources, and better fashion sense. I don't see them being an interesting totalitarian government thing. If EXALT comes back, I'd prefer if it was in the form of a smaller group like the first game. The site is more "hacked" now. Here's the big changes: [t]http://i.imgur.com/8nIvnES.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/Y3AigXp.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/0vOxqug.png[/t] [t]http://i.imgur.com/7mDnedG.jpg[/t] This last one is most interesting to me. Looks like it's showing off the ADVENT soldiers. They seem to be wearing helmets and masks to conceal their appearances, three guesses why.

turns out it's another borderlands game imagine people's reactions id be annoyed

The hacked "Policed 24 hours a day" text is a link to [URL="https://downloads.2kgames.com/adventfuture/images/en/Advent-Introduction.mp3"]this sound file[/URL]. It doesn't really add much to what the site already shows, but it's interesting.

[QUOTE=ironman17;47803860]I don't know, for all we know Team 13 could be an elaborate cover-name and next thing we know Firaxis goes all Vince McMahon on us at E3 before revealing the game to be XCOM: Enemy Below.[/QUOTE] and then it was kojima all along [editline]27th May 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=Teddypimm;47811412]The hacked "Policed 24 hours a day" text is a link to [URL="https://downloads.2kgames.com/adventfuture/images/en/Advent-Introduction.mp3"]this sound file[/URL].

"Remember; WE will be watching..."

I went ahead and undistorted the voice. I personally thing it sounds a [i]little[/i] bit like Bradford, though I could easily be wrong. [media]https://soundcloud.com/kartoffelgranate/advent-undistorted-voice[/media]

[media]https://soundcloud.com/kartoffelgranate/advent-undistorted-voice[/media][/QUOTE] Doesn't sound like him to me. Wouldn't really make much sense for it it be him either, as this is clearly significantly in the future. Apocalypse took place like 70 years after XCOM: UFO Defense, and while the timelines aren't necessarily identical, that tech futuristic enough that Bradford would have to be way older than that guy sounds.

The humans in the concept art look like bald xcom guys with default armor

Gotta say, game aside that website is fucking cool

This is one of those concepts that could turn out either super interesting and thought provoking or just super generic and shit. I'm quietly optimistic though

snip i decided against it

I don't have any idea where people are getting Bioshock from, if anything this is XCOM related in some way. And the way it's being set up it sounds [B][I]A LOT[/I][/B] like XCOM: Apocalypse.

The distorted voice makes it seem like XCOM will be against Advent, acting as a kind of liberation force. With a name like 'Advent' I could easily imagine some fucked up gene manipulation to force some pseudo-evolution on the people to become more like the aliens. If it is XCOM, there's also the thread of [sp]"What the fuck were the aliens so afraid of that they invaded us?"[/sp]

Perhaps this game will follow the XCOM plot but play more like Syndicate.
