, , , , 0

Julian Gollop, the British designer responsible for creating the X-COM series of games, has set up a crowdfunding campaigning to help raise the funds for his latest title. Phoenix Point is aiming to raise $500,000 through the site Fig and has already reached more than 60% of that target thanks to the contributions of 4,600 backers. With some 42 days left remaining of the project, it looks likely that it will be successful. According to information released through the campaign page. Phoenix Point has been in development for around a year already. It is scheduled to release in the fourth quarter of 2018 for PC, Mac, and Linux. “We are creating Phoenix Point by taking influences from the famed X-COM franchise,” Gallop said. “We are updating our favourite gameplay features from X-COM titles such as UFO: Enemy Unknown and X-COM Apocalypse that I designed, and mixing them with some of the amazing ideas Firaxis Games executed brilliantly in their franchise reboots, to create an entirely new game whose essence lies

XCOM: The Board Game is bringing the alien invasion strategy game to our tabletops. This game is said to be a cooperative strategy game where one to four players aim to defend Earth from aliens. XCOM: The Board Game uses a digital companion app which is said to be easy to use, and available online or as an app. “The app heightens suspense as it both coordinates the alien invasions and permits a dynamic turn structure, something that would be impossible without its use.” The app is said to track the amount of time players have to react to certain events, forcing players to act fast. The roles that players play in XCOM: The Board Game are different departments of XCOM, each with it’s own responsibilities. These departments are The Commander, Central Officer, Squad Leader, and Chief Scientist.  Check out more on XCOM: The Board Game at Fantasy Flight Games here: http://tinyurl.com/q7ln75h

XCOM: Enemy Unknown pushed back to 2014

I have been keeping up with the XCOM franchise in the last few years due to having played the original 1990’s  game X-COM: UFO Defense. So when I heard 2K was doing a reboot of the franchise, but putting a modern first-person spin on it,  I got excited.  It just so happens XCOM: Enemy Unknown has been pushed back yet again. Originally scheduled for October, then March, and now they are now looking at a tentative beginning of 2014.  That however leads us to wonder what console it’s going to be coming out for.  Are they waiting for the next gen systems, or are they  going to do one big push to have it out before the PS4 and 720 come out.  That’s a risky move especially for a franchise that hardly anyone remembers, I know, I’ve asked. Either way, I’ll wait patiently to play reboots of games I loved when I was a kid.  As long as it doesn’t turn out like Bionic Commando.  [Source]
