Same here. Been even making my own remake of this Can't wait for this, even though there are some doubts about game mechanics and controls.
really liked the demo whether i'll get @launch is doubtfull due to farcry3 n ass creed3 being 2 tempting.. might hang on for sale price. seems like there's loads to it. nice that it is slow paced n tactical with loads of weapon/main base upgrades. my overall view of the enemy choice is a bit of a negative. anyone seen?

mmm reward 3 option on steam for pre-purchase is civ5 (potentially)..@70%. tempting....would cost me £25 as I have funds left over...mmmm
if i get civ5 free i'll def get it. btw very easy to lose a soldier in this...those aliens are good shots.
I think, in the demo, the very first mission was designed to loose soldiers if u r talming about it. afterwards i kept playing demo and done a mission. And lost noone. And yes enemy damages alot which makes the game challenging.
Nice vids of gameplay here on classic ironman mode. Vids contain spoliers but i found the guy playing funny and game interesting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KPGHW1A2hI&feature=relmfu
Seems to be on consoles,not on PC yet though,comes out in USA on 9th everyelse is 10th or 11th i think.
Another review. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2012/10/08/xcom-review/ This game was always had a good chance of being good with firaxis behind it,also the Project leader is a massive massive fan of the original game so i knew it was gonna be good.
Is this mainly a point and clicker? or can you play 3rd person shooter mode too? I see it's dx9, i'll probably leave it then.
Oh well thanks anyways fellas, i'll be laying low then until hitman. Hope it's a nice game all the same.
