Don't know about that, but some Kenny Loggins would be good for the portion of the game focused on in this latest Joystiq entry...

Seeing as we're having some degree of customization in this game, I wouldn't mind if Firaxis got permission to use certain Ace Combat superplanes as alternate models for the more advanced interceptors. Like, for instance...

CFA-44 'Nosferatu'

Fenrir prototype

Uhm, that's one of the default hairdos for guys in the original X-Com. I thought it was a clever in-joke.

It's not an in-joke. It's a preorder bonus.

Euirogamer - Why Firaxis' XCOM remake had to have multiplayer, and why you shouldn't worry
PC IGN - XCOM: Enemy Unknown is Turn-Based Gameplay, Real-Time Fun

Multiplayer confirmed. Including Playable Aliens

Roger Rambo · 2012-08-10, 12:28

This sounds like about the best way you could do it. And honestly? Multiplayer is one of those things that would really work well with an Xcom game. I'm glad they added it.

They even have an achievement for JUST a single soldier surviving every mission in the game.

That's ALLOT of civilians. And it is nice that you can get civilians evacuated after getting into contact with them.

This is definitely gonna get preordered by me sometime. I think I want the special edition art stuff, so I'll probably get Amazon I think.

Waven · 2012-08-27, 18:27

Gameplay looks so good. Some elements of it remind me of frozen synapse, which is a huge plus.
Really looking forward to this.

Unsurprisingly, folks have mirrored the stream on YouTube; here's one:

Still wondering if asynchronous play is possible in versus mode.

Actually it's not Peter Cullen doing the voice, it's confirmed to be Jon Bailey, who's known for doing a ton of voiceovers for commercials and trailers.

Still, he does an awesome Peter Cullen impersonation.

Livestream Recording Link

This is the recording of the 2k Games Live Stream at PAX that ended an hour ago, which includes two XCOM MP matches along with Borderlands 2 gameplay.

Here's the timetags to skip to the XCOM-relevant parts:

42:55 - First MP Match
2:00:00 - Second MP Match
3:48:40 - Singleplayer Demonstration with PC UI

LoweGear · 2012-09-02, 02:35

From last night's stream:

Dude, you should've returned to the Skyranger when you had the chance...

Also, they showed off an early build of the game that's a lot more action packed than the final version:
