Thres gonna be a 3rd in the UFO series, need I say more?

's been out for ages and it's a bit pants, unfortunately.

Eagle of Fire 28-08-2005 06:48 PM

Yup, it's really a bad game. And it is in no way related to the Xcom games, except maybe for a somewhat similar story and gameplay.

And, as Beef on the Bone said, it been out for a long time now.

PS: Xcom 3 is Xcom: Apocalypse. ;)

Ohhh...shoot, sorry, I ment thers gonna be a fourth, I didn't count UFO 2000 as one.
UFO Aftershock (the new one ;) )

Eagle of Fire 28-08-2005 10:36 PM

Fourth is Xcom: Interceptor. :bleh:

Edit: well, I looked at your link... And the random picture it gave me doesn't give me much hope to find a good game when it will ship...

You never know, they might make the game Aftermath should have been - it had some good ideas for plot and a great setting (check out the intro movie) but the difficulty curve was flawed (as in the earlier ones, I found - particularly Apocalypse) and the squad AI was incredibly irritating. The screenies for this one had a better look to them and more variety. <shrugs> Wait for reviews, I say.

Even discounting Interceptor, this must be the 5th in the series surely?

efthimios 28-08-2005 10:59 PM

No, there were 2 more I think after interceptor.

Eagle of Fire 29-08-2005 12:14 AM

I know of at least one more after Interceptor. It was a FPS.

Personally I stopped counting after Apocalypse...

Hmm, this UFO Aftershock dosen't look half bad. Looks quite fun. of course we're all here because we know looks are decieving hehe. The series has gone down, but im optimistic. To go by looks alone, it looks fun, but not something i'd pay more than 19.99 USD for.

UFO Aftermath and UFO Aftershock are not really part of the X-COM series. Its just that some of the former Microprose designers are working together to make some money with the game name :bleh:
As already beeing said above, Aftermath has some nice ideas but is a bad game at all.
Lets hope Aftershock will be bether.
