Watch XCOM designer Jake Solomon try to sell his new strategy game to customers at a game store. It is not an easy sell. Even to people with Xboxes in their cars.

“The next step for shooters” is kind of playing pretty fast and loose with the truth there, I’d say 😛
That said, I’d totally have bought it today if somebody in JB had tried to sell it to me when I was in there at lunchtime.

Unfortunately he’s selling to the CoD crowd. I’d fall at my knees, kiss his feet and thank him profusely for creating this game and personally selling it to me…
Don’t ask what I’d do if he GAVE it to me.
The game, that is.

I really want this game, I’m a big fan of the original games.
But that sales pitch was awful, the next step in shooters? Your remaking a game from the 90’s it’s not the next step. It’s reviving a genre that got lost. But it’s not a new step.
I want this game, not sure about getting it on release as I’m still having a blast on Pandora. Melee Assassin FTW!

This game looks like utter trash to me… and don’t like how it popped up after the announcement of 2Ks’ XCOM and has somehow stole the limelight. Cheap marketing ploy in my opinion.
*2K actually is publishing both… still looks cheap and nasty, Unreal Engine 3 skinnerbox (not to be confused with what AAA devs can do with Unreal Engine 3).

It’s getting the limelight mainly because (a) it’s coming out soon and the other one isn’t so they’re spending the marketing dollars and (b) this is a real XCOM game i.e. turn-based strategy. The other looks to be a fairly generic shooter using the XCOM name.

I know it’s ObviousTroll in disguise, but 2K’s use of the XCOM name to try and sell a mediocre looking TPS is the cheap marketing ploy… in my opinion.

I want this game, but I don’t think ol’ Jake could sell me on water in the desert. Listening to him makes me want it less.
