As for Armor influencing the amount of suppression being added to a unit, I'd say a character wouldn't necessary know what caliber bullets are being shot at him, moreover I think whatever the armor, nobody would be stupid enough to stand against hail of small-caliber bullets (maybe units with low Intelligence stat would...? ;D ) I agree with IceVamp about units being suppressed when bullets are being shot in their DIRECTION, not only when shooting at specific target. Even when shooting at a wall, behind which a unit is hiding, would lead to increase in suppression, but to a lesser degree? Also, an eventual hit on morale would be welcome IMO. By the way, great idea Devs!

Please keep in mind that it wasn't me who used the term "silly" in the first place. All I was saying is that it doesn't sound "dark and misty". As for Gauddlike and soapmode, I guess you might be right with the subtitle being introduce that would steer the unacquainted minds and give a hint as to what kind of genre this game represent more accurately. And perhaps it was indeed my memory that created that sweet aftertaste when looking back at original UFO's title.

great to see so many replies. Well, it seems most of you like the game's name. I'm wondering, since some of the "for" replies come from experienced, long-term users who most likely are keen on seein the title finished asap, what were your initial thoughts about the title when you first came on board? I'm not suggesting anything as it seems the "I like/dislike it" thing, obviously, comes down to personal preferences. I'm sort of thinking along the lines "maybe (well, most probably) I will come to terms with the title, and with time I might even like it". It might be Fridge Brilliance for some, it may be a matter of taste for others. My main concern was, as Pack.Wolf has noticed, that some people might pass on the game purely because it doesn't "sound" as if it represents the genre they're interested in. As for you, dear Gorlom, you do have some valid points. I dare to disagree, but I do that because pretty much everything you mentioned comes down to personal taste. You like it somewhat silly, I feel the game would gain much from "serious" approach instilling fear and terror in gamers. You find "Xenonauts" far better to market and, generally speaking, from PR point of view, I say it's exactly opposite (I do not force, "Enemy Unknown" or ANY other title mind you - I mentioned I'm not a very creative person. Somebody far wiser and qualified than myself should, if at all, come up with a name). And as for browsing by title rather by genre - you either misunderstood me completely, or I'm very bad at expressing my thoughts. In general, please read Wolf.pack's post as he sums up nicely what I was trying to say. Gauddlike, as much as I would like, I can't really argue with you on points mentioned - Xenonauts does stand out as an original title and can't be mistaken with any other. All I do say however, is "maybe we/you could come up with another, equally original title that would suit the game's theme more nicely". Says I and I alone Either way it would be nice to hear what developers think about the idea. Bottom line is, as ZZZ and Jean-Luc said, it might be way to late to change anything, so... well, I suppose it's still nice to have a heated discussion with fellow forum members!

Indeed I am - both judging and aware. If there were two, or even twenty games being published every year, I would pay close attention to each and every one of them. Since there are thousands upon thousands of games released every year you sort of start to adjust your level of attention, your brain "filters" out at least some of the games which, even by the sound of it's title for this instance, will most probably not interest you. Call it judging the book by it's cover (by the way - you are right, it is exactly that), but the reality is - with several thousand books out there and limited time on your hands to spend reading, what will you do? I haven't played the game. There might be some marketing value there indeed, but solely based on popularity. Since Psychonauts is a platformer, I don't personally think it would be a good idea to have this tactical/strategy game being associated with Pychonauts. Let's not forget it's a remake after all. And it does exactly that - ride on X-COM's heritage. Most of the customers, I think, will be people well acquainted with the original X-COM series, therefore maybe it should? That last sentence sums up EXACTLY what I think, even though it might not be what you meant I'd say - let's name the organization differently, perhaps with the name derived (not copied) from currently existing organizations or other "seriously sounding" names, like Defcon, Nospa (hah just joking ), Nama, USCIS, CPSC, Darpa to name a few. I personally think "silly" should be out of the mix - saving the world it a serious matter after all... As for your concerns ZZZ, I think it might not be that hopeless, but I guess the developers would be the only ones to know.

Hi everyone, This is my first post on this forum, so firstly I'd like to introduce myself - Cork (Ireland) officially joins the army of enthusiasts waiting for Xenonauts to be released. Now, about Xenonauts just mentioned... first of all let me ensure you that I do not want to sound rude, nor do I feel excessively self-righteous about my ideas, and let me warn you that possibly my post can cause quite a stir amongst forum members. I'm just expressing my opinion and are eager to hear what others think. Now, with that out of the way, without further ado... I don't like the game's title, Xenonauts. Can you change it? Now now, holster your guns, let me explain When I first heard about the title (which was about two weeks ago-at that point all I knew was that it's a UFO remake by a small/independent studio) I wasn't too keen on finding out what was it all about. Reason behind it was, believe it or not, the title. I'm deeply in love with original UFO and still play it from time to time, I was also repeatedly insulted by different studios trying to resurrect the UFO series and who failed utterly. I was then even more looking forward to hearing ANYTHING about any new approach to the topic. But Xenonauts couldn't be a title more noteworthy that other would-be titles, could it? It just doesn't sound like a suspense-filled strategy that would allow us to save the world from those blasted aliens we beat 18 years ago while biting nails at every single corner! It just.. doesn't sound serious enough. I would said Xenonauts could easily be a cartoon-style platformer about two guys dressed in space suits from the sixties, with obligatory antennae on their ball-shaped helmets. In my particular case I was quite close to ignoring this game altogether. But, by all means, it could be just me. Anyway, feel free to comment, criticise and all the usual forum stuff I do feel bad about not providing possible replacement names for the title, but I'm not a very imaginative person. I would say anything that would indicate close relationship to the original would be in place. I'm not very well versed in law either, so I'm not sure whether anything along the lines of just "Enemy Unknown" would be possible. That's it on my part, for the time being at least. I'm looking forward to finding out about your opinions, and (possibly?) ideas. Cheers!
