Big deal made out of a big bad I'm apparently supposed to have heard about? Look at all these heroes you know and love вЂ“ I recognize maybe 3. Massive buildup to revealвЂ¦ a complete unknown. This trailer presupposes a knowledge of Marvel comics that I neither have nor am particularly interested in acquiring. I mean, if Jake Solomon says he's excited to be working on it, let's take him at his word? Also, the fact that it's apparently a very different sort of tactics game than simply Marvel XCOM is not necessarily a bad thing. I get to retell my favorite story from the comics as a new Tactics RPG set in the Marvel universe. Midnight Suns is the game that my team and I have been working on for a while. IвЂ™m looking forward to actually seeing some combat in the coming months, and the social stuff. TheyвЂ™ve earned enough credit that IвЂ™m not worried about them shitting out a quick cash grab game. I get what youвЂ™re saying, but this is a squad level, turn based game by Firaxis. You walk around in third person in your base and form relationships (they were very careful to say these are purely platonic) with the heroes to power them up.

It sounds like a cross of Freedom Force and the base elements of Fire Emblem Three Kingdoms. And it also sounds very much like it has little to do with Xcom other than the developer and it being turn based, and probably deserves its own thread. A lot of the time, the combat in this game is not like: 'will I survive?', and more like: 'how many of these guys can I take out with one ability?''Д«asically it sounds fun. Then the fantasy's like: 'I'm definitely the coolest guy in this room', right? And I think that's the one we wanted to get across. It's not the fantasy of 'I am a godlike superhero and I'm fighting Hydra or whatever' - it's a different fantasy. You talk about the fantasy, if you're a soldier and you're terrified of these aliens, that's one fantasy, like: 'OK, I'm holding on for dear life'. we very quickly saw the things we did before don't match up with what this game's about. 'The thing is, it ticks the same - it is turn-based tactical combat - but I can't explain how different the combat is, in terms of, I mean, if you just start from the thematic side of things. ('Some might even think that there were leaks that painted this as a 'Marvel XCOM'', he joked). Not sure that logic checks out but don't let me get in the way of you being angry they aren't devoting all available resources to making the one specific game you want.ДЄs for the combat itself, we'll likely get a much better idea from the gameplay reveal in a few days' time, but Solomon was keen to stress how much it varies from what they've done before. More heroes, story arcs, just like that F2P Marvel game.ДЄ lot of hurdles preventing me from returning to XCOM so we can get more Superhero Marvel content.ДЄt first I thought you were making a joke but by the end of your post it felt like you sincerely thought you were being called out.ДЄpparently, there is no possibility of some other game they might develop before XCOM 3, even if they weren't doing the Marvel game.

I'm also concerned with Disney searching for games as a service and how much DLC content could be wrapped up in a Marvel game. I'm not thrilled with the idea of another developer making stuff for the constant superhero content churn. I want XCOM3 as much as the next person, but this could actually be really good.Д«ut what am I going to do if I can't have a fully-formed hot-take opinion on things with which I have no direct experience?ДЄt least a person if you want to call them out you silly goose. Lets wait until we see gameplay before we start being all doom and gloom.

Xcom 2 made whole
