Yeah, got my attention immediately.
They just published Highfleet, too.
Fantastic game that. Last time I played I got filtered hard but damn it's fun, I really like how the game doesn't hold your hand, and I really really like the setting and aesthetic.
Incidentally, I took a small tiiiiny bit of pride in that I discovered a game completely on my own before Sseth covered it. Also was talking to friends about it and how sseth should cover it. Lol
It was revived by a co-founder (not Sid Meier, the retired fighter pilot guy).
And so far, their stuff has been damn good. Not much is out yet, but the stuff that is is some of the best strategy gaming I have had in years.
Seriously, same logo and everything.
It's like I'm back in CompUSA and dreaming of the day I can buy a computer that can play Age of Mythology.
One of the first games I've ever played when we got our first PC was X-COM: Apocalypse, published by Microprose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InUQ1TebMGk
It's been over 2 decades by now but I still fucking hate Poppers and Hyperworms. Seriously, fuck those things.
At the start of a new game I used to equip as many agents as I could with Megapol Autocannons loaded with explosive ammo. Missions inside munitions factories were incredibly entertaining, the owners (Marsec, I think?) were always really mad at me for ruining the place because a single stray shot could set the whole floor on fire, and there were a lot of stray shots because why would I take aimed shots? My guy has a handheld Gatling gun and EXPLOSIVE AMMUNITION!
Also I never actually finished the game, because after a while you can research Toxiguns, which are amazingly effective against aliens, but they don't cause explosions or incredible civilian casualties, and that's just boring. They're basically hi-tech blowguns.
I solved the problem of "one last alien" by equippling people with unlimited ammo alien guns and sawing through all of the building supports until the whole thing came down
They appear to be going for a comeback... I cant wait and tbh havent been this excited for a game in years.

He's left back in early 1990s after MP was first bought by Spectrum Holobyte (who then canceled X-COM when it was still under development, just nobody told the devs and so they finished the game - management chaos was hilarious in the years before Hasbro and even more so later).
I'm sorry, sir... we only traveled back to 1998, not 1986.
Faggoty amateurs, these games are gonna be delivered via tape drive
Bought it Sunday and tried it out. Pretty interesting mechanics for the guns.
Low framerate in an official trailer?
That's probably because unlike every AAA trailer of the last 10 years, this trailer looks like it's 100% actual realtime gameplay footage rather than prerendered, pre-animated, cinematic bullshots.
Actually gameplay video, warts and all? I'll take it. I can't stand when I'm on Steam and I have to click through 3 or 4 videos to find one that contains actual gameplay. It's even worse on Humble monthly (which now that I have a minute I should probably go ahead and cancel). There I'll see games I've never heard of and clicking on the description and watching the video still leaves me wondering what genre the game is and what it's even about.
Well, not a good impression for me.
Well, alright, but I hope I never catch you complaining about misleading trailers.
I just have no urge to play a game with such low frame rate and/or lag.
It's okay, if they make better trailers, they can be sent to you.
heres a game reveal with no lag that you will like because it cost 20b and is drmed and probably online only but they hired a full trailer team because they are an EA size studio
oh yeah, and all the operators are le women
Oh wow. I can only guess the end boss is a zombie Tom Clancy.
Will we be spending hours upon hours organizing the perfect operation that only lasts 5 minutes?

THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES.
You haven't planned an operation until you've cleared an Prague Theater where terrorists are holding hostages on stage by having 3 simultaneous entries: one from the side balcony, one from the stage entrance, one from the far ground, all set off when you silently take out a sniper on the top floor, and then hurl a flashbang into the air to detonate above all of them.
"Delta, go."
The only other game I've seen utilize operation planning to this degree was Mobile Suit Gundam: Zeonic Front.
8 year old me got filtered haaaaard in that game. It was when you first start seeing Amuro's Gundam or w/e so probably pretty early in the campaign idfr
I can still hear Brad Swaile in that mission-
One!!
Two!!!
That sounds pretty realistic, tho. RL isnt like call of dootey. If there is modding, I will be totally in.
