Exciting news, but deep down I'm losing hope that this will be a game that excites me more and more as the release date approaches.
"FPS" is one reason. Granted, that's all I really play these days and the genre that I enjoy the most, but to me X-Com was all about outfitting your squad and taking control of an open battlefield. It was slow paced but very suspenseful and rewarding.
Sadly "2K" and "360" are the other reasons. I ran into so many little aggrivating annoyances with Bioshock 2 on the PC that I only got about 25% through the game. I put just about all the blame on their shoddy and convoluted keyboard/mouse support. I was never able to get immersed in the game because I was always fixing the sensitivity or trying to get my re-bound keys to work properly.
I'm still going to keep a close eye on this and hope for the best.
