Does anyone know if all of the characters are named, or if you can create your own soldiers? One of the most fun aspects of XCOM for me is playing with friends, and making ourselves into soldiers to see which one of us misses 90% shots like an idiot...
Where is it confirmed that the game won't be coming to Xbox One until after April 2020?
it looks awesome.I guess I can reveal I'm working on this game :) all the comments here and elsewhere are making my day
We don't know really know anything about what happens out of combat aside from the armor/weapon customization of the existing characters. It does seem that there is a chance you'll have other deployable troops though, trailer shows a failed sub-objective for not deploying a scout unit, and also shows an objective stating characters x, y and z must survive.
Rod Fergusson tweeted it.
I'm afraid I can only repeat what's already being said/shown :)
I guess I can "answer" this one because I have absolutely no idea, the game is single player though so I don't know if something like that would have any use
You mean "Halo Laser Squad?" I've pitched something similar several times based on linear and ballistic sandbox weapons so that you use isometrics for height and splash damage calculations as well as line of sight. Still turn based, but with a metagame of saving power ups to use as amplifier/defenders per turn (bubble shield, turrets, active camo etc). Oh and a very rigid hurry up clock to make it feel more tense and pressured.
One of my first ever jobs as an adult was taking screenshots of Laser Squad on the Amstrad CPC464 (and actually typing and debugging entire user-submitted BASIC games). I loved that game.
Gears Tactics is the fast-paced, turn-based strategy game from one of the most-acclaimed video game franchises – Gears of War. Outnumbered and fighting for survival, recruit and command your squad to hunt down an evil mastermind who makes monsters.
In this lavish book, the full development process of the characters, weapons, armor, enemies and environments of the game is uncovered. From initial sketches through to beautiful final production art, the evolution of Gears Tactics is revealed, accompanied by fascinating insight from the artists and developers. Take a step into the war-scarred world of Sera and experience Gears of War from a whole new perspective.
I think with Gears games they usually have a turn off blood or gore option in the settings. Still not Mario, but it helps tone it down. I suspect Tactics will have something similar.Bleh at the ultra violence :P
But the gameplay looks solid, and I just finished Mario + Rabbids today and was just searching for something with similar gameplay, will definitely check it out
Yeah okay, I'm just annoyed at the trend in gaming regarding violence, it's a bit too much sometimes.I think with Gears games they usually have a turn off blood or gore option in the settings. Still not Mario, but it helps tone it down. I suspect Tactics will have something similar.
No idea. I don't think they have talked about it much. I think they have really only showed the game a couple of times. E3 2018 and the most recent game awards.Yeah okay, I'm just annoyed at the trend in gaming regarding violence, it's a bit too much sometimes.
The game looks good though!
I have kinda missed it for some reason, have they talked in depth somewhere about how it works? Do you have action points to spend on movement and action? Do you choose your gang at the start and do the characters have individual skills?
They could totally make a Warhammer-like IP from this, I'm getting vibes from my youth playing 40K, Mario + Rabbids pulled those strings as well, love the strategic side of it all.
Probably previews soon. Still a while before the games comes out. End of April.
