Thread discussing XCOM 2 in regards to the recent gameplay that has been shown. If you want to discuss fetishist stuff please go here: >>320061205
>>320064090
Game looks great. I'm officially of hype level 11/10 I'm honestly so happy they're putting in this much effort to the sequel. For awhile it seemed like firaxis were being lazy shits, I guess they put priority in xcom 2
I hope this game flops horribly and then they port it to console. The first one was decent, but I have no interest if this one will be PC exclusive, just don't feel like using my spreadsheet machine to play vidya and I'd prefer if they designed it around the controller.
The game will like hot garbage though so the PS4 port is pretty much inevitable. I may pick it up used in the bargain bin a few years down the line.
>>320065017
6/10 pasta.
>>320065017
Having played the first game on both PC and console. Bought PC, friend gave me the console one. The game was pretty good on console. Was marketed badly IIRC.
Can't wait honestly. Hoping we get more footage of missions, I wanted to see someone attempt Black Site on legendary.
>>320065017
Did you even try with that bait?
>>320064090
I'm fucking hype as hell. The clipping and wall hacks being much worse than in EU and several animations were awkward as hell such as smashing laser window "glass" every turn and the floating body when carrying and firing. Here's hoping they fix all that before the release.Or in XCOM 2: Ayylien Assault
>>320064090
Remove xeno
>>320065297
Yeah, based on how Beagle's run went on normal it looks quite challenging I think that's assuming all of the modifiers for legendary were put in. Maybe I was wrong, but I didn't see any health modifiers in at all. I think it's good to see Beaglerush not just plowing his way through every mission especially when he got extremely lucky in a lot of situations.
Going through xcom 1 again on ironman, im too shit for classic and above modes
this game has got me hyped i honestly cant see this being a mess like the other games ive played recentlymgs5
New Independence day trailer out too, where the fuck did that creep up from.
>>320065392
You really bit into that hook, didn't you?
>>320065605
They said that the build was a few weeks old. I wouldn't expect it to be perfect, but I think there will be a lot less. It seems like they improved the wall stuff to. In several cases I've noticed when shooting through a wall you actually see some minor destruction or bullet holes as well.
>>320065752
>New Independence Day
that shit was completely unexpected, how the fuck did they keep it under wraps so well
I was reservered. A defence mechanism to shield me from dissapointment. Alpha Centauri was my favorite game and BE was the biggest let down ever.
But when Beagle blew up that roof to remote hack a terminal with one turn to go, I could not longer hold it back.
I'm hyped as fuck. It seems they've really iterated on X-com and made a lot of right decisions.
I hope the DLC they announced is actually something good, the first one seems like it's just cosmetics which would suck. The second sounds like it could be similar to the nemesis system from shadow of mordor or simply alien assassination missions. The third one will probably be good since it's a new class but hopefully it's not some unbalance ass and is integrated well with the actual base game.
>>320066000
Pretty hyped, im glad will smith wont be in it, you just know his cunt son will be forced into it.
>>320066084
steam store says something like an alien will tracking you down through missions. so nemesis in xcom
>>320065017
>>320066000
I remember rumours about a new Independence Day movie.
>>320066067
The destructible roofs are going to add a lot to the game as well. Staying high is now going to have its risks with falling damage + explosive (hoping the AI is advanced enough to exploit this)
>>320066443
Say what? never ever? Not sure if you understand this mustards, but that really doesn't apply to PC games because unless you live in some mud shack in Africa, you own a fucking PC or laptop. This game could play on a toaster. If it doesn't get ported I'll just pirat it, no biggie

>Already announced paid DLC that releases in the summer that will have a new class
Fucking Firaxis jews. Day one pirate.
>>320066809
What's wrong with announcing a new class will be added as DLC? They never said there would be 6 on launch and also said new classes can be made by modders.
>>320066665
Never ever doesn't apply to anything except third party games. There is always a chance for a game to go multiplat even with an exclusivity deal for a set amount of time. Even then, I don't think it will go to next-gen consoles anytime soon. It depends on what firaxis wants to do, but with the changes they've made and their inexperience with consoles it would probably be like creating a new game and totally not worth the little amount of money they will get. It's sad to see such corporate slavery that you won't buy a game on a machine that isn't owned by Sony.
>>320066665
Booting into the menu doesn't count as "playing" and your $700 PC doesn't count as a "toaster"
Remember: Never ever.
>>320066809
So what if they just keep the DLC hidden till the summer then announce it, does that make you feel better?
What would you guys think if Firaxis made a RTS spin off of XCOM next? Personally that's should of been what they did with Bureau?
>>320066665
Not sure if you understand this but the game sold like fucking trash on the fifa machines and porting it probably isn't worth their time. It's not exclusive because the makers of the platform are paying them to not release it, it's exclusive because it's more efficient to just ignore consoles since there's not an audience for the game there.
>>320066809
What's wrong with this? All their doing is announcing the DLC they plan to make early?
>>320067184
Please god no, we don't need an apoc sequel.
I wonder if stealth still exists in the game. Like turning invisible, I want to have a squad that can pop in and out of concealment.

Watched some gameplay from Mad Mexican and it looks fucking amazing.
Customizing weapons, assigning researchers,in depth soldier customization, the 4 different classes I saw looked boss, apparently there's a fifth one.
It just looks like XCOM: EW, but with more shit and better graphics/animations. I love it. Dragons Dogma PC release will keep me entertained long enough to contain my hype for this.

Oh you are so right my goyim friend! Video game companies always wait until everything else is finished before starting work on DLC!
>>320070704

>Can you name a AA/AAA studio in 2015
>everyone else is doing it guys it's fine
Can you be less of a publisher please.
>>320071298
Seriously, explain to me what the issue is. XCOM EU launched with 4 classes and got one as DLC, XCOM 2 is launching with 5 classes and getting one as DLC. It's not day 1, and it's reasonably priced.
I'd pirate too if I thought Firaxis/2K was being scummy, but this seems like a completely reasonable DLC plan. I feel like people just want to hate anything with a Season Pass. Sometimes it's warranted (fucking $60 season passes, or day 1 DLC). But a $20 season pass to be fulfilled over a year or so?
>>320071878
Do you honestly think it will take more than a few months to make the items they have in the DLC.
>>320072001
they're also telling you exactly what's in the season pass, which is a lot better than every other company does
>>320071878
Would you feel better if they announced it after release? Is that seriously what's upsetting you?
>>320071298
The exact same thing happened with EU/EW.
Who wins?
>>320072001
They're also releasing full mod tools fro free

>even the creators of sci fi material don't have imagination anymore
I want the straight edge age to end.
>>320073857
Sci fi was always the genre most devoid of imagination. Just subpar writers parroting current trends in futurology.
>>320073669
It's almost here senpai, we just need better batteries
http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/04/daewoo-robotic-exoskeletons/
>>320073857
It's called just a little bit into the future.
It's just that there's a lot of stuff just coming over right now that it serves as more than enough material to feed this generation of sci-fi, and secondly that most attempts to predict the far future seem so utterly hopeless that writers just focus on the near-future.
>>320070116
They're like power armor because they're the opening of the dev process to PA. Not talking in game but I'd assume so. I'm talking real life. Any pa is going to need a basis of an exoskeleton suit.

>>320073850
>doesn't improve graphically
You're memeing pretty hard their friend. XCOM 2 is a pretty good upgrade aesthetic wise be it UI, textures, fidelity of destruction/explosion, lighting, etc. You probably just don't notice it because they both have the same art style that really doesn't look that good.
>mechanically
Is procedural maps (note this includes aliens, place of objectives (possibly time or the objective itself), alien objectives, envornment, cover, possibly right down to the enemy AI, etc. not a mechanical change to you? There's also dark events (alien macro), revamped geo-scape, overhaul of engineer and scienticist system, stealth mechanic, loot system, customization and character pool.
>>320074869
I don't think they're targetable
>>320074678
just because technology advances doesn't mean peoples imaginations need to stop.
but people without imagination don't realize it.
>>320075116
Well, it's either this genre or that "muh singularity" stuff if you want sci-fi, though there's always some weird and unique stuff around if you look. It's just that this invention of the internet and relative failure of interplanetary threw a big curveball in the way of sci-fi authors. Still, I do miss stuff like Neuromancer's cyberspace, when life took inspiration from sci-fi rather than the other way around.
>>320075025
You could still throw grenades can't you?
>>320075675
considering you're trying to stay stealthy, hucking grenades at civilians probably isn't the best plan
>>320074993

It's a sequel so what exactly are you looking for. Also, I see nice deflection. You know what they say if you can't argue just call them shills my friend epic post.
>but wow procedural maps
You're greatly underplaying the impact this has on the game mechanically and for the replay ability.
I suggest you just don't play Sequels it seems you didn't like them. How much did SMB1 change from 2? Not that much. Same for most sequels. Here are the biggest changes:
>more destructibility and roofs are destructible
>objectives ever mission and alien objectives as well
>new skill tree for the classes
>weapon customizations like ammo, attachments, etc
>new alien units
>much stronger equipment for early game
>geoscape isn't bullshit anymore
>you now assign specific engineers and scientists to tasks
>new resistance story
>stealth mechanic
>much more compact better looking UI
>game looks a lot better from EU/EW
>loot system
Each of these has it's own subset which will affect them game a lot more.
>>320075116
It's not that people don't have imagination either. It's just that the tested Scifi tropes are stopping to be science fiction. Hell some fucking texan built a functional plasma gun.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvrQciFL0ig
The real issue is that Giant robots and powered infantry armour and laser guns are now feasible things that, with enough money are within our reach. If you told someone from the 20's that the stuff in their comic books would be a reality now they wouldnt believe you. That is leading to the scifi genre as a whole to become less Scifi, and it's becoming more and more noticeable.

I think you have a misunderstanding of what the word imagination means.
because it's certainly not
>just follow some tested tropes
>>320079163
I think you don't know what a trope is.
"trope has also come to be used for describing commonly recurring literary and rhetorical devices, motifs or clichés in creative works."
You literally cannot write new scifi without accidentally a trope. It's impossible a this late juncture of literature.
>>320079018

Do you think all the people working on a game wait until the day of release to stop working on it or something? That's not how a large scale development process works.

Yeah like Frozen Throne, which gave you an almost entirely new game for half the price. Or Yuri's Revenge or Brood War or Opposing Force or Throne of Bhaal. They were definitely planned to gouge consumers, I would hate to go back to those dark times. I love "dlc" "content", who wants a whole new game just give me one option cut out of the base game so I can give more money.

>>320083437
It doesnt even have shadow and dynamic lighting meanwhile Todd manage to salvage them with his broken engine. Firaxis has never been known for GRAFIXX and their genre doesnt need it. But it just look bad technically. The lego look of rng maps dont help.

ehm enemy within gave you an entirely new game with a new resource type, a whole new enemy faction in the campaign and multiplayer, two new tech trees, 4 new mission types and a new subplot. You dont have to buy any previous dlcs to enjoy it. So some devs are still trustworthy enough even with modern practice.

They aren't working on the DLC. It's called an announcement would you honestly prefer them to announce it after they release the game and the offer the season pass without any info as to what the DLC is?
>>320087124
No, even worse. He is laid back, a Chrysalis springs forth from the ground and claws his face. He barely survives, he becomes twitchy and receives the "crysalid claw" scar. However, with some careful play, he could get a kill the next mission, survive without damage and he will go to laid back.
He's got his best friend with him on this mission, everything is going great. A viper suddenly appears however and rips his friend out of cover. They won't be able to get back into cover, the Viper has higher movement.
Your Twitchy soldier tries to shoot the Viper, but misses. Just dumb luck you say, you will get them next turn.
The Viper decides to strangle your soldier that was pulled. One more turn and it's gameover for her. This shot needs to hit. It's only a graze, the Viper crushes it's victim. Your twitchy is now panicking, a frag is released, but his poor aim and judgement causes it to bounce back onto him.
Once again, he's barely alive. It was all his fault, he is a failure. But the commander won't let him die, he deserves it, but he says he still has a job to do. Hopefully, it will be the last.
>>320079997
The release dates have been noted the only Hong coming anywhere near a few weeks after release is possibly the cosmetic stuff. Seriously though you are paranoid as fuck what makes you think it's cut content it's not day 1 dlc.

This. The air game was nothing more then frustrating. It's better to change it from a combat simulation, to it's intel form it is now. Air game is part of your resource management, which is exactly what Xcom is all about in the off time between missions.
You are choosing between getting Intel points, or finding mission sites and if you get greedy and don't move to other parts of the world fast enough, then you get found and shot down.

Not to mention the left click bug. Seriously, this is the reason that PC is Superior. Not even just the power, or modding. Better controls.
Speaking of controls. I am loving that waypoint stuff. I completely forgot about it from their first little gameplay show off until Beagle used it.
No more will we have to fight for your troops to STAY TO THE FUCKING RIGHT!
Where is the link to the new gameplay?
I don't know why you guys are actually trying to discuss a video game on /v/, this has been a shitposting board since 2012/13~
>>320081779
you realize that the dlc doesn't come out until summer right?
if they had waited until after launch and called it an expansion instead of dlc, would your autism be sated?
I just want to say that this cover art is 4SPOOKY holy fuck I don't even want to look at the catalog because I'm afraid of seeing it looking back at me

Lol.
We're going to be able to recruit some of them, right?

>Because that kind of tech is slowly starting to become current generation gear
No, it's not.
>>320096739
No, got to wait for mods to fix that or have some kind of gene splicing class.
Would you do it /v/? Would you splice yourself with alien DNA to ensure the future of the rest of the species? Even though it would mean being shunned by the rest of society?
>>320096261
>day one DLC now releases months or even years after release
The industry is ruined day one DLC can release years after just so the devs trick you. They lock everything out of he game. Every single DLC/expansion is day one cut off disk content. I can't believe they wasted this long to release the legion expansion for WoW fucking scummy assholes they locked that out of the game years ago.

I would get all of my limbs amputated so I can become xcom's version of a dreadnought, but I am hesitant to become part AYYYY
>>320096937
I don't give a fuck about the species or what society thinks of me, will it be fun? It sounds like it would be fun so yes.

>deliberately cut out portion
>literally only thing coming out soon after release is cosmetics
I think you're just baiting us at this point. You've been the samefag posting in this thread for forever. There is no reasoning in your head you honestly believe Firaxis would release a class DLC almost a year later just to trick you into believing they didn't cut it out of the game.
>>320096937
The 5th class hasn't been revealed yet.
>>320067184
They should pull a Fire Emblem and make a J-pop idle RPG dungeon crawler spin off.
>>320097423
I'm pretty sure they won't have an alien defector class, they already deconfirmed that with Vipers, I don't think they will have it with the others.
Best you could hope for, is like I said, gene splicing. Just pretend it's an AYY that got a higher dosage of the human genes.
>>320097576
It won't be an alien defector class, but surely some humans have been given human DNA hat aren't subservient to ADVENT.
>>320097778
Nope, first thing ADVENT does is place that key looking thing into your head for complete obedience.
Which calls into question Doctor Tygan's loyalty. I wonder if that will actually come up in the story.
Anyway, betting that the fifth class is an infiltration unit. The aliens don't need it anymore because they operate in the open, but XCOM is the shadow warriors now, they need to be able to move about without being discovered.
So a class that can set up traps and as long as they aren't observed doing it, they won't be attacked. Basically, XCOMs version of The Spy.
>>320098104
The ranger really already serves that role... That would be nearly entirely pointless since an entire skill branch of being a ranger is dedicated to being a scout plus they already said they don't want this to be a stealth game and that unit sounds way to stealthy.
>>320098309
Well then at the very least I want C4 that we can wait to use on the unsuspecting AYYS. I want my mines back.
