Laser Squad and X-Com series were graphic whore and sound whore gamesGrunker said:ITT: Form over content.

Only if you started playing games in SVGA era or later. X-Com had good graphics with very good use of special effects in 1994 and Terror from the Deep had great graphics.mr.doo said:Not that discussing this is that relevant since xcom has never been about the graphics but oh well.
Graphics, sounds and music did their part in not ruining the atmosphere
Er wut? Graphics aside, sounds and music in enemy unknown WERE the atmosphere. The screams of dying, the sound of movement, distant gunfire and explosions.
I disagree, I think when it comes to the atmosphere the game are very much equal, the problem with TFTD was that it was just xcom1 repackaged with new scenarios, a more colorful pallette and slight gameplay improvements but the core of the original game is all there. A bit of a wasted opportunity imo, a obvious attempt to cash in on the success of the first game, even if the result wasn't a bad game at all, perhaps even better than the first one.IMO out of the two, TFTD is the better game, while ET is more atmospheric.
Holy shit. It would be awesome if there are for example blind aliens but with excellent hearing.The Sentinels have extremely well developed sensory organs, allowing them to track their targets through a combination of visual, auditory, olfactory, and even infra-red signals.
I hope everything won't be stone-paper-scissors like this.During mission planning, CAF Intelligence reports indicated the aliens in the area were equipped with acidic, poisonous weapons. Thus each trooper is protected by a Sludge suit, which provides excellent protection against biological and chemical attacks, but very poor protection against incendiary weaponry. Unfortunately CAF intelligence was mistaken. The aliens sighted upon landing are equipped with incendiary weapons.
