It looks good, I've only touched the original xcom slightly. It's just too dated to play, I'm sorry I feel bad for being so shallow guys. So I 'm looking forward to this. Funnily enough I can play old Sega Genesis stuff fine, but xcom just looks like assss. Yes, I'm being vain.
I did play with it a bit to get an idea of what it was like though, Xenonauts inspired me to play it regardless of looks. I didn't play long, but amazing gameplay. Now with this new one we'll have to see how it turns out. I already know I'm loving Xenonauts, I have a feeling it will have more depth than the remake. Though the remake certainly looks better and flashier. Though both games are miles above the original's sprites and stuff. Ewww...
