<div class="IPBDescription">UFO: Alien Invasion</div> I don't think this is old news -- a forum search turned up negative...
but yeah, a team is working on a game "heavily inspired" by x-com -- it looks like a remake to me, they're probably just not saying 'remake' for legal reasons or something...
<ul><li>3D engine (based off of the quake 2 engine)</li><li>multiplayer internet support (player 2 is the aliens - I'd be interested to see how they pull that off)</li><li>I assume it'll be free...</li></ul>feh, just <a href='http://ufo.myexp.de/' target='_blank'>go read about it yourself</a>!
here's a few screenies:
base construction:

combat:
<img src='http://ufo.myexp.de/img/ingame/ingame003.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
a map, randomly generated of course:

the world map:
<img src='http://ufo.myexp.de/img/menu/geoscape02.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' />
yada yada, go check it out <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
there's a 'technical demo' for download, but it's too late at night for me to check it out so I'll do that in the morning, unless someone else gets to it first :>

But still, for a remake its good. Shame they use the Halo plasma weapons for some of the alien guns though :/
