The original UFO/X-COM was on PS1, I recall playing a demo of C&C Red Alert on the playstation as well and it was fine.
It depends how true they want to be to the original and they know that a strategy game isn't going to appeal to the people who only play CoD.
Saying that the full pic on the article does look like a third person shooter with exciting cover mechanics.

For what is worth Game Informer calls it "full-on strategy", not "action title with strategy elements" or anything like that.
TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."

Could someone please tell me, why there is no Xenonauts thread?!
No, we have no bears on the streets here in Russia.

There probably is, but with the search broken you can't find it.

Pretty sure I remember a Xenonauts thread from around Gamescom.
I'm sure there is one atleast.

Well, hexes aren't too bad (Firaxis are masters of hex grids, lol!), not so good for classic X-COM tho.

You would be naive if you expected them to make a 1:1 replica of the old game with pretty graphics.
Hexes make for deeper gameplay. That's great in my book.

The main problem of this screen to me is that it looks just like ALTAR UFO games did and i hated them.
I know that the XCOM shooter has a similar design and they have to follow it, still, this only makes it worse.
About hexes - they're much better if we consider human FOV, you're right.
No, we have no bears on the streets here in Russia.

Blue suit guys are cultists or disguised aliens from MIB series, i guess.

It's probably not a screenshot, it's even described as "speculation". Might still look like that, but lets hope not.

Damn, figures the first screenshot would be from the xbox. Oh well, doesn't look bad I guess. Hope we don't just get a silly port.

Eh? It's a screenshot. Guy added the boxes and annotations, speculating about the Ui elements.
Anyway, looks terrible.

It doesn't look that far from what I was expecting, it's a multiplatform title after all

I think it looks good enough, not really interested in the graphics as long as the gameplay is good.
That being that, i don't mind some pretty visuals as well, since X-COM looks terribly outdated by now, and Civ 5 looks really nice, so they're probably using the same engine.
Never played X-COM tbh, wanted to but it kept crashing, but i'll surely play this AND Jagged Alliance 2 remake

Well, compared to the other relatively normal looking soldiers.
I want to guess if i can get to the corner not count hexes!!
