xcom3?

[A kobold]

ok with the upcoming expansion to this. it got me thinking what would xcom3 be?


what features would a third game need, what story elements should be found and so on. So here is a topic with my personal opinions on what should be in xcom3 when it happens. this is here for debait and discusion and wild speculation.




*XCOM and ADVANT*
it is highly emplied that the ethereals are actually running from something much, much worse. and if I where to take a guess I would think xcom and the aliens now living on earth my have to work together to fight what ever that is.

this would do two major things: first it would give us a hole new set of enemies to fight allowing for a lot more varried game play and second it would allow us to have aliens as allies with unique features tied to them.

That and with a bigger threat we could have the game starting with beam weapon armed soldiers and aliens fighting these psionic abominations with weapons the likes of which we have never seen.


*vehicles and actual air combat*
mecs are fun but they are still just infantry with a different look. a few cutscenes and videos pre release made me wish for vehicles in xcom2 but that never happened. and man if we get a bigger threat jsut imagine having a tank, fight against some giant alien space crab with a singulatrity cannon on its back.



*we are the invaders*
in xcom we have always for the most part been on the defensive even in 2 while yes this is building up a resistance it is still on the defensive. I am hoping that in three we have to do that of all cool things from the first true xcom game and invade the aliens homeworld but in this case I would say instead of a home world a large space ship, with several missions on it ranging from small operations to crippling it.

We need to take the fight to the enemy. and having a new enemy with better tech it would be fun to turn the key and go from defending earth to kicking the ass of the well source of all problems in the current set of events.

idk can we x commmmeeeeeeeeet

You are playing X-Com 3, there was the game in 1994 (which is STILL the best of the franchise) then X-Com [2012] and now this. Frankly this might be X-com 4 because LW in X-Com[2012] was a whole other game, and X-Com 5 is LW2, so your question is what will X-Com 6 be!?

Carry on!

[Burncide]

The devs bothering to optimize it properly would be a nice feature.

There were like 4 or 5 Xcom games before the 2012 one.

As for what I'd expect to see in XCOM 3, I'd say I'm probably expecting a similar thing. XCOM Enemy Unkown we were defending, XCOM 2 we're fighting as a resistance movement, XCOM 3 we're the attackers on an alien planet.

Au contrare, There WERE many crappy games based on the X-Com universe, but none of them reach the rareified heights of the 1994 (or the possibly even better TFTD).
When I make statements you can be sure they are correct.

Your opinions don't overrule everyone else's, especially when they are insisting that something objectively factual isn't true. Keep acting like that, and we'll have to consider it trolling.

The Elders is all dead without The Avatar so I doubt that we'll fight along with them.

[Emanouche]

I say the next game should take the fight to the enemy, let us be the invaders for a change. >:)

[Gamefever]

We will have to wait cause there is one more DLC for Xcom 2 other than WotC.

[yodabauer]

Hopefully with Second Wave options.

I would assume we would take the fight to the alien's home planet

A new canon reset only this time it turns out that the Elders are actually time traveling humans.

[Python Jones P.I.]

I like the idea of doing TftD but changing the aliens to the Apoc aliens (Micronoids?) who could come from a liquid dimension hence why they start of in the sea, I can't remember who's idea this was (it's in the forum some where sorry) but there's also idea of combating rising oceans which sounds fun as well of course all the underwater physics done justice on modern engine.
