You remember how there was that XCOM shooter under development, and how relieved we all were when that faded into the background and we got a new real XCOM strategy game instead? (Even if I haven't had a chance to play it yet, I was as relieved as anyone.)

I always thought, based on all the info 2K Marin had released about the XCOM shooter (Which is now third person, instead of a FPS, to better manage squad ops.), that it would be a very good game - but it would not be a XCOM game. I still think that it will be a very good game, but carrying, at the very least, a misleading brand as long as they keep it under XCOM.
(Firaxis XCOM' tactical battle game is also misleading, but in different ways.)

The latest trailer does not show much, but the material that 2K Marin had shown earlier (As in, before Firaxis' XCOM game was announced.) looked pretty good.

I really like the trailer, and if the game is anything as drama-making as it, it'll be great stuff. But it won't be X-COM.

I'll keep an eye out for your interlopers. If they reappear, don't delete them, just let me know, and I'll

By the way, in the original XCOM one of the alien ship types was called a "Harvester" IIRC and it included an operating theater where they were dissecting a cow. (I fell off my chair laughing the first time I saw that. Cattle Mutilators!)
Does the modern XCOM include that visual joke?

Wonderduck - I didn't do anything, but I'll gladly take credit.

Well...The ship is now called an 'Abductor' (Though 'Supply Ships' are sometimes assigned to collecting specimens.). There is nothing inside the ship - but if you find a landed UFO collecting specimens, you will find mutilated cattles immediately next to the ship, along with pods to store the 'samples'.
