@jagenheim: It sounds like you're just put out because it's not turn-based. From the previews I've read so far, the game doesn't seem like it's just "An FPS with Aliens..." It's got the whole research thing, at least some level of management of XCOM, nonlinear mission structure, and probably squad tactics. It's a bit silly to assume that 2K is resurrecting the X-COM name simply for nostalgia's sake; sure, that will spark some interest and controversy online, but this isn't a reboot of Mario or Sonic the Hedgehog we're talking about here. It's X-COM, a franchise that, despite its critical respect, isn't really all that well known outside of PC gamers who were playing games in the early 90's. It seems to me the more likely scenario is that the people working on this are probably big fans of X-COM themselves, and wanted to make a game in that series.
