	Perhaps.  If there IS in fact an Xcom 6 to be made.  The thing is NOT
to lose the present-day or near-future time setting, the general
unfolding of the storyline, etc.  I absolutely despised TFTD with the
underwater theme and Apocalypse did nothing for me either.  The
far-future setting was all wrong, the troopers were too small onscreen,
the aliens were just "bugs" and not tied to the present-day myths of
aliens as presented in UFO.  Sticking close to the original in that
respect is a must for me - so if you want to call it Xcom 6 after all
the updating or Xcom Gold, or whatever, so long as the original game
still shines through at the core of it I'll bite.
