Looks cool. However, that generic alien design is kinda a letdown.

Generic? Yeah obviously... Have you ever played XCOM?

this looks really awesome. cant wait to give them my money this fall! 

never played the old Xcom game thought the gameplay looked cool after seeing this trailer i'm on board with the new xcom kids!.

this looks really fun. I hope they have some co-op of some sort.

I really love the side view of the base.

-Here is 10 dollars, go by what you need.

-But I do not know how to count, mommy.

-OK, you can buy 3 candy items. You can count to 3, can you?

I am really having hard time believing that people have trouble with handling limited set of units.

It's not about helping "us retards" out. The game is working the same way as before, they just put those time units under the hood so you can focus on the actual tactics and decision making. But you're still choosing between moving far and then not having enough "time" to shoot, or being more conservative with your actions and not over extending yourself.

But it seems that people just hear "simplified" and get offended because they're so cool and they can count to like a million, BACKWARDS.

I'm an engineer, I get a boner from numbers as much as the next guy, but It's a good thing that games stop showing those numbers. Take health for example, most games nowadays don't show "OK YOUR HEALTH IS 45" cus 45 makes no sense as a health value. They instead show a health bar, or your character looks kind of fucked up, or the screen starts getting red.

It's the same thing, and its not cus they think players are dumb, its just cus showing those numbers gives no value to the experience.

Yeees! I love the animations and camera work.

Looks Great, can't wait to see more.

I'm looking forward to being terrible at this game

This has me really excited. The earlier trailers which made it look like FPS were a horrible decision. Those completely soured me to the project but this has swung my opinion around 180! It looks to play more like Valkyria Chronicles than anything else modern I can relate it to. Now, is this coming to the PC, too? I find these types of games (like DAO) work best on that platform, but on the other hand, I never had a problem with VC, so I'm not sure which platform I'll pick this up on.

Firaxis continues to leech my wallet. And yet I am not disappoint.

I fucking hate this trailer so much! Every day I watch it and it makes me so mad because I can't play this game right now! Curse you lateral flow of time!

Aliens are here, this is our last stand, and they are taking people?

I am ready to finish the fight against the reapers, made by Firaxis.

So turn-based shooter with some interesting ways to make it look good plus SimMilitaryBunker?  Looks cool!

So this is an XBLA game and XCOM is still that FPS based in the 60s?

I liked the art style of that one shown a couple of years ago.
