Forum Overview :: Guess Who Fucked Up X-Com Now

Yeah, the problem isn't the year, it's the total FPS devotion. by Fussbett 06/12/2010, 2:27pm PDT Imagine they set it in the 1950s at the birth of the X-Com organization. Like, you're actually part of the newly formed CIA, right after first contact, having to scramble to figure out how to fight this strange new menace. Allot your CIA budget for new offices and operatives in different states, buy APCs and cargo planes, move your scientists (all German names) around to best research the recovered aliens and their tech... And fine, if you MUST, make the fights realtime and allow the player to get into the fight as one of the guys on the ground. Also throw in lots of jokes about how the CIA is only half-convinced that the aliens don't have some affiliation with the Commies. The game ends when a boss enemy/invasion is repelled using the brand new weapon of the US, the hydrogen bomb (usable thanks to the advances from alien technology, unlike the actual hydrogen bomb of the early 50s). Some players will go to the final invasion without hydrogen weapons completed, since this is an X-Com title, so nothing is on rails of course! Of course! With this major victory achieved, but the huge task of protecting Earth still ahead for humanity, the final cutscene is a meeting at the UN, all the countries sharing their alien info and tales of destruction. The US representative then gets up starts a speech where he talks of the great success the US has had in dealing with the alien menace, and proposes the idea of spinning off the CIA alien veterans into a global anti-alien organization, funded by all countries who wish protection. His speech continues as voiceover while we see people gathered in front of a building. A curtain falls away in slow motion, revealing a big chrome sign, X-COM, right as the voiceover ends his speech with the words "...UFO defense". Applause. *credits*
