After finding Xenonauts I have also find that new 3d games with the Xcom name have been made recently.
Seems the name has become popular again!
Hollywood strugeling with new Ideas could maybe make a Xcom movie.
What do you guys think would be a good format for it?
I think a three part movie series (tv movie, or cinema depending on budget) would be awesome, maybe with three different styles,
Part 1 mystery, thriller, horror. The Aliens reports start trikling in, until the full invasion is a fact.Seen from various viewpoints of leaders, squad members, scientists and civilians that will be followed through the 3 parts. Maybe ending with some countries allying with the ETs, while others form XCom.
Part 2 Action, horror, war movie sci-fi. Serious WAR movie! Ala 'Bridge to Far' with a lot of reverse engenering and such.X-com responds to various types of missions. Earths forces are all but down for the count, when the alien base is discovered of world.
Part 3 Adventure, Action, Horror. The team of now surviving veterans and rookies are sent to end the alien threat on its home turf.
