Syndicate FPS

[Henry_Broodsonson]

If you're going to remake 3rd person tactical shooters as FPSers then where is the UFO - Enemy Unknown remake?

Yeah I do.

It was a nice concept but.. yeah it was a bit weird too.

well looking screenshots of this new syndicate FPS, i feel it lost the feeling of the earlier part of the game... where you fight with shotguns, uzis, miniguns... the only thing i didn't like of syndicate was the gauss gun spam in the second half of the game.

There is a FPS XCOM/UFO'esque game coming out...

Also it appears someone is working on a newer version of the old UFO series...

Which is basically the same Strategy rts as the original, though it's not out until march 2012. Apparently this takes over from where the original XCOM UFO Defence (I coulda sworn it was UFO:Enemy Unknown, but there's been plenty of clones over the years) left off.

Back onto the original subject, might be interesting but it'll probably end up more like a Deus Ex clone in my opinion.

The FPS game looks like a car wreck already.  Worst franchise abortion since the movie Aliens 3.

Also Xcom is/was not RTS, its TBS: turn based strategy

XCOM Apocalypse was, well you had the choice between turn based or semi rts (having the option to pause it at any time to issue orders), though I'm not sure if it was as popular as the previous 2.

There were another couple of UFO'esque titles that came out over the last 5-6 years the Luna & Mars based ones, but I think they'd completely detached themselves from the XCOM franchise, I still have them kicking around somewhere gathering dust
