Somehow this gameplay video is meh for me.
Animations got like 3 frames, colors, sprite models are also strange...
I don't know. I will wait for some review first.
I had high hopes, but this video...

I bought it. It's perfect vapoware that someone finished with his massive will and grit. The strategic layer is in 4:3 stretched to higher resolutions or just blackbared. It's just perfect.



EDIT: And CTD after selecting subtitles in options

WTF, the video looks MUCH MUCH worse than the alpha gameplay for the pre order thingy. Will try the iso demo but this is very odd.

Installed the first one and this one is definitely slower due to switch to 3d models instead of sprites. The death animations are slow and can't be speed up. The graphics are cleaner but the font is shittier and seems like it was put last or never really put much thought into it.

The gameplay is same as in previous version. Being serious there is some solidity in it. The first one, GOLD version was ok for a UFO clone, not great. It tingles that AP based turn based games part of my brain but in all honesty Xenonauts and total conversion for OpenXCom are way above this.

not sure tbh Very Happy
reading up the website there is UFO2Extraterrestrials: Battle for Mercury and there is UFO2Extraterrestrials: Shadows over Earth and that they were deeloped simutaneously.
The one that released recently was Battle for Mercury and reading the first page here priginal 2011 pitvh was Shadows over Earth

Found this on their wikipedia

Quote:
Until 2007 they had been producing their first project UFO: Extraterrestrials.
They are currently focusing on development of its prequel UFO2Extraterrestrials: Battle for Mercury (originally called UFO2Extraterrestrials: Shadows over Earth).


so it actually is that game from 2011 it seems lol

yeah it's weird. information is sure a bit unclear on this

several news sites also seem to say this game now was previously known as shadows over earth, but then I dunno where they got that information. wikipedia of course also doesn't cite a source. Couldn't find a press release or anything about this stuff.

one things for sure though. it's been in development for a long ass time and looks old even for a 2011 game Very Happy
