Right down to the “GET TO DA CHOPPAH” ending. You’re outnumbered, outgunned, and in danger of being overrun-so move fast, complete your task, and get the hell out. From the minute our demo started it was clear this was not about killing every alien as much as it was about staying alive long enough to complete your objective. Whatever the case, it’s clear the ensuing two decades post-invasion have wreaked havoc on XCOM.
How does humanity perceive XCOM? Do they have support? Why are they fighting? Is it out of habit? Out of fear? Or to combat legitimate injustices? In other words, terrorism.Īnd while “One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter” is cliché, there’s no denying it makes for an interesting setup. The mission we were shown at E3 involved a team of XCOM guerrillas quickly infiltrating the aforementioned statue unveiling, with the goal of blowing it to pieces. There’s definitely a They Live vibe to the proceedings-and for a story-light strategy game, that’s a surprisingly complex theme to explore.
