Well, the best hope X-com fans really have is that it's simply a new start. While this game won't add anything new to the basic gameplay, perhaps the sequels will improve on it. Or inspire more knock-offs. Probably won't, but there's always hope. And there's always a chance it will kickstart whoever owns the X-com property and/or the Gallup brothers into doing something. (In the latter case, something non-half-assed. Their laser squard remake sucked)
