Will XCom: Enemy Unknown affect this project?

(1/2) > >>

Toga Jon:
I have just came upon the news that the new reinvention of UFO Enemy Unknown will be released in the 3rd quarter of 2012. http://www.xcom.com/enemyunknown/agegate.html

Does anyone know if this will have any affect on the completion of this project. Will people still be happy to get involved when there may be a commercially developed alternative. Also with there be any copyright issues if the publishers think that this project is too similar to their own creations historical titles?

H-Hour:
It's not the only commercially developed alternative in the works. It will depend on how the game comes out.

But at the end of the day, a closed source game is what it is and can not evolve, so I doubt it will have a huge impact on UFO:AI.

Toga Jon:
I really hope that it does not impact UFO:AI as I have doubts about how good the new FireAxis version will be. At the moment it is the open source ability for modding that gives me the most hope of a proper UFO Enemy Unknown style experience.

You know, Firaxis are former Microprose employees and what did Microprose develop a long time ago? Right, X-Com. Circle closed.

Nutter:
Doesn't mean it'll be good.
There's everything from executive meddling to that 'wider audience' crap to contend with.
