XCOM EU XCOM Pitch Cinematic

[Drakous79]

Found XCOM Pitch Cinematic video on Youtube.

 

Original Pitch Cinematic created by Firaxis Games in 2008 for the purpose of exciting 2K Games to the idea of an updated XCOM strategy title.

To be honest, I like spooky feel of the concept :wink: The original and XCOM EU are strategic and tactical battle against alien invasion. Referring to the tactial layer, I care what and where to shoot without losing soldiers - go in, clear, get out - no worries, no fear. But in the concept, I would actually equip spare underwear prior to entering that house!

 

And imagine a fight with that thing at the end - better to party with bunch of chryssalids and sectopod!

 

Seems like designers did the job well done.

 

Also noticed time units in the video. I think 2 move system + abilities works fairly well and is user friendly.

 

Overall I love the 2012 remake. It has great ideas, good music and enjoyable play (164 hours so far - going for Classic Ironman next). Wish it could have better support for mods (more var config from inis, foundry projects, techs, perks, weapons, regional maps, textures, and my personal wish - customize country + country text next to flag).

I actually prefer the way the sectoids move in this pitch concept; the more animalistic manner presently degrades their creepiness too far for me - I like the gobllinesque manner the Pitch Sectoid skulks away.

 

That and the use of original Xcom music +1 :)

Like mostly the new game comparing that to released. But what I do like is that its not a City in every map, loved my old crashed ships in that setting, miss my wheat muching aliens.
