- FORMAT: PC

-
- For months, X-COM (in North America) and UFO (in Europe) changed thousands
- of people's priorities. People no longer say "I will do it right after
- this TV show or even after my golf game". Now, they simply say "I promise
- I will do it right after having played X-COM".
- Unfortunately, they never get a chance to do it because they will play this
- tremendously addicting game forever!
-
- Why is that? Well, nobody knows exactly, but I am sure that tracking
- aliens all over the world with a squad resembling Rambo is the essential key
- for the success of this game. Plus, if you add excellent graphics, strategy,
- and management resources, you end up with one of the best games ever
- released!
-
- Now, you may be asking yourself, why am I talking about X-COM when everybody
- is already playing the game?
-
- Well, it is simply to announce that "X-COM: UFO TERROR FROM THE DEEP" will be
- released next April. What? X-COM 2 the sequel? YES!!
-
- ────────┐
- The Plot│
- ────────┘
-
- X-COM 2 takes place when their brothers' cosmic emissions start the
- re-animation cycle of the aliens from the depths. Sixty-five million years
- ago, the colonization ship T'Leth crashed on Earth and the emergency systems
- initiated the suspended animation for the aliens on board. The alien's home
- world, however, never received a distress call. For ages, the computers
- tried to awake small groups of aliens to attempt a colonization, but failed.
- As gold is the base metal in the hyper-alloy Zrbite, aliens have been
- sinking ships for centuries to recover the precious metal.
-
- With the energy bursts launched on earth by their brothers, the computers
- are now fully operational and have begun a systematic awakening of the
- aliens. Earth is in danger and your mission will be to eradicate the alien
- invasion.

- What is new?│
- ────────────┘
-
- As you understood, X-COM 2 is set in the marine world of oceans and will
- feature new effects like the coloration given to objects by water.
- X-COM 2 brings new alien life forms with their technology, weaponry, and new
- missions both on the surface and underwater. For example, on the surface
- you will visit islands, ships, cities and ports, and underwater, you will go
- in coral constructions, sunken ship wrecks, alien bases, etc... The number
- of tactical sites has been doubled and the animation level has been
- increased by ten times.
- Effort was made for a new audio system that creates an out-of-this-world
- atmosphere and brings the player into an alien world with nightmarish
- creatures all around.
-
- The online encyclopedia present in the first episode shows the new creatures
- and the mutation technology in a more structured manner.
-
- Aliens's strategy is divided into two different parts. The first part can
- be resumed by setting up various strategic locations around the globe to
- control the seas. The second will be to recover the necessary artifacts to
- regenerate the core of T'leth and awake the ultimate alien, the Great
- Dreamer.
-
- In this game, you will have to fight with new technologies that fit into
- the marine environment: specific weapons, submarines and floating bases.
- During the game, you will recover advanced alien technology that will give
- you the means to battle these sea creatures.
-
- So, now that you are aware of this new jewel called "UFO TERROR FROM THE
- DEEP", do not miss it!
