Wheeee!
I'll need to wait until I get my new laptop with Windows 7, I guess, since it won't run on XP?
I seem to recall reading somewhere that it's 6+1, the "+1" being your combat robot thingy (what was it called? SHIV?), which you can add as extra to your squad — or maybe it was 6 in total with the robot. Umm, can't recall the source, so this is all from my shaky memory, i.e. take it with a grain of salt.JDR13 said:I wonder what the max size of your squad will be in the full game though.
Likewise. I have preordered both games and fully expect them to offer completely different experiences, but still enjoying both (hopefully!). While the Firaxis game is a lighter, more streamlined (not being snarky here) take on the original XCOM with nice spiffy graphics and other modern bells and whistles; it's with Xenonauts that I'll get the truer XCOM experience in all its inventory fiddling, squad micro managing, action point counting glory.Nameless one said:With Xenonauts we are getting remake that is more true to original so I am hoping that Xcom:enemy unknown will be different than original(which it will be based on demo let's just hope it's in good way).I pre-ordered both games already so I am hoping for best.
Nope, no XP. I'm not real certain why that is because it isn't using high end DirectX graphics. Maybe it's using non-graphic DirectX features only found in 10+? Or maybe they just don't want to mess with ancient OS's.I'll need to wait until I get my new laptop with Windows 7, I guess, since it won't run on XP?
Word of warning: I've been playing on Ironman mode which means you only have one savegame file which writes over itself after every round. Basically you can't cheat the system by reloading if one of your squad members die. I've put a solid 10 hours into the game and I'm really enjoying it until… my savegame file is corrupt and I have to start all over. Really really frustrating. With a mode like Ironman and one savegame file you would have hoped for better stability.
does this mean its released?
how about the concerns of repetitive cities (which is also somewhat of an issue in the original) that were found in the demo?
Yep - check the Steam forums, lots of info in there.
If your using the steam forums to complain about xbox/ps3 copies, Ha, i laugh at you and your controller.
What's "classic mode", and how is it different from the normal game?
