One Last Trailer Before The Bureau Is Out

Gotta admit, this one has me pretty interested in this weird, delayed game.

Considering everything this has gone through, it looks surprisingly okay

Patrick was totally right during the morning show: this looks way better than it has any right being, but it's gonna have to wait until the Steam winter sale. I still have to buy GTA5, Watch Dogs, and a whole goddamn new console.

Too many other things coming out on the same day, i've got choices to make and I dunno if this makes the cut, but perhaps one day.

Man, tomorrow's going to be crazy. I'm still super interested by the premise here, and I definitely prefer this approach to the FPS they were showing a while back.

Goddamn, those Mercury era space suits have me sold on this... still disappointing to not have base building and research but what the hell, looks cool.

The era it takes place makes this look pretty interesting. Still, what the hell is this now? Not an FPS? Looks like Mass Effect a bit. And don't tell me to google. That's a conversation killer!

@stryker1121 Mass Effect without the RPG elements seems to be the general consensus. Squad level, third-person missions, all pre-generated and single player. Lots of ordering your two companions to use their equipment and powers whilst also fighting yourself.

Other than the perspective Brothers in Arms is probably the closest game I can think of. The quick look EX was an okay view of the combat but felt a bit light on the sense of how involving the game will really be.

But, fuck it, I've got to pre-loaded for those shiny space suits ;)

The game looks really awesome. I am not sure if it will be a day-one purchase for me, low on funds, but I am loving the generation theme and atmosphere.

Hah, pre-order at Gamestop for one pistol, or pre-order on Steam for every single X-COM game and Spec Ops: The Line for free?

So, I does this game attempt to be consistent with the story of XCOM: Enemy Unknown? Unless they throw some sort of reset switch at the the end, there really isn't any way to explain the modern XCOM unit's lack of knowledge and tech.

They explain it. this was explained in the QL with the game devs.

When did anyone say that there is none of that? I expect it to have levels of this at the very least similar to Mass Effect.

@budwyzer: Oh yeah, what I understand is that you'll get a 'Normandy' style base, so something to walk and talk through. You won't actually make base building and research decisions though, as I understand it.

It was mentioned in the recent Gamespot look with the developers.
http://uk.gamespot.com/the-bureau-xcom-declassified/videos/the-bureau-xcom-declassified-feature-6413079/

I imagine you'll absolutely get the base expanding and have more to look at, side missions, etc - so I'm happy with that. You'll not have the same tactical control over construction as you would have in the classic games though.

This might be a good game but I think it is going to bomb so hard sales wise.

Weird, I read a review on Destructoid this morning and was confused about why none of the other big sites had reviewed it yet. Went back to the site now, it's gone but it still pops up in Google when searching for "Bureau Review"

I'm guessing they posted it early on mistake.
