>Hopefully the next X-Com release is a REAL follow-up to X-Com 1 and 2.... >From what I've read on various newsgroups (including an interview with a Microprose agent, I believe), After XCOM 5 (the Space Hulk/Quake ish 1st person shooter), XCOM6 is indeed being planned, and is aimed at being in the vein of XCOM 1, 2 and 3....whatever that translates into. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say that the company stated that it wanted XCOM veteran fans to think that they would get some of what they want in that game. FWIW, though I loved XCOM1 more than any other game I've played, I did manage to find XCOM Interceptor enjoyable enough (more than many games I've tried), and largely because of its R&D and base-building side, which in many ways reminded me more of XCOM1 than Apoc did.
