X-Com 2 Coming to Consoles in September

Thanks for beta testing. Quite literally, because it had its own technical problems.

"The port will be handled by a relatively new developer called The Workshop, founded by veterans from Call of Duty studio Treyarch. "The incredible reception of XCOM 2 has been rewarding and humbling for the team, and we’ve known console fans have been clamoring to play the game too," XCOM 2 creative director Jake Solomon says. "As avid console players ourselves, we’re excited to work with The Workshop to bring XCOM 2 to all of our fans."

Very exciting stuff. I almost bought a PC for this. Glad they decided to put it on consoles. Thank God, they didn't design this for PC only, otherwise we would've never seen this gem on current gen platforms.

Enjoy the cold leftovers.

Predicted this. Anyway, okay game but it's not for me.

Oh, yes. Yes. Yes. This is great.

Will be getting it for sure.

I'm just glad that everyone will enjoy this game and it's a lot of fun when I played it at launch.

It will flop on consoles. They are just wasting their time and money. Consolites will never appreciate it as it doesn't have 20-minutes cinematic and 10 hours of sliding and climbing lol And you actually need to think playing it.

You're right. Instead it crashes to desktop.

As opposed to incessant game crashes, troubleshooting all sorts of errors, and an unoptimized mess that won't even run properly on some very high end GPUs and CPUs?

Playing the PC version is still recommended.

Haven't played X-com before. Where do I start?

"Please PC, may I have some more"

Play XCOM with the enemy within DLC. Super game.

Only on a very limited level.

Get Enemy Unknown. It's on Vita, PS3, Xbox 360 (also playable on Xbox One), iOS, Android, and PC of course.

Exactly.

PC version has even an additional puzzle mini game. This is a game for true intelectuals. Monkey brains of console gamers won't be able to handle it)) Probably the dev will include a banana into the collector edition as an incentive ))

Thanks for testing.

C'mon PC bros. You knew this was going to happen. (well some of us believe it) Nobody REALLY believed them when they said it wasn't coming out on consoles, right?

Port will be handled by a new developer. It'll be Batman: Arkham Knight on consoles!

RNG "gameplay"

This is great news. The game is amazing.

Wow pretty rough for PC-gamers to lose one of their most prestigious exclusives just like that. PC can't catch a break lately it seems. GS should make a late April fools vid comparing the versions.

Meh big deal. Squadron 42/Star Citizen, and Total War: Warhammer will still be on PC anyways. XCOM 2 is just a bonus to toss it to consoles.

That guy probably was disoriented by the sectoid on the previous turn.

Absolutely disgusting.

They better bring some of that "console optimization" secret juice for the port, as the game ran like ass on PC release in certain parts, bit better these days but still a bit to go.

Fairly sure I was reaching single digits in the last mission.

Hope it sells better than the first one did on consoles, it's an amazing game!

I don't know. He seems to be aiming right where you have to aim.

This is great

This just killed me.

Especially after reading the post before this pic.

Aimed completely tongue in cheek at some of the usual suspects who spam similar nonsense.

see @Sushiglutton for example, keep your bowl high Sushi and maybe you'll get some more from the overflowing table of PC gaming! "Buh buh Bloodborne and UC4" lolz

I'm waiting for Steam summer sale to pick up this game.

Good that you are able to find comfort in upcoming titles. Not everyone can handle such a massive blow so calmly. Wow, right in the motherboard, but I'm sure PC-gaming will bounce back.

This game didn't run very well on my PC which is criminal, so I stopped playing. Right when I was gonna pick it back up the original came out on the Vita, so I went there instead. Maybe one of these days I will see how the PC version is performing. I bet this game will be a mess on consoles too. This screams "cash grab."

So this includes all the DLC or no?

Hopefully the optimization is better this time around. Funny how when they promoted the game, they appealed to the PCMR type by saying how they would be able to focus on PC only and take advantage of it, then it releases an unoptimized buggy mess. I'd also imagine they'd patch in controller support because iirc XCOM2 still doesn't have controller support (aside from the Steam controller)?

Don't really care about mod support, but an option to adjust timers would be nice, or just an overall more logical balancing of them would be nice as well.

The Vita version of Enemy Unknown is pretty damn buggy too, lol

PC gamers can keep their PC games.

I used my 360 controller to play it ...

Huh. I thought it had a 98% chance to be on consoles, but knowing XCOM logic, I think we all made the same assumption.

He won't understand you. Let me speak console gamer language:

Bruh that dude was wowed by the bug bruh lel

On the higher difficulty levels on ironman, it is quite difficult. Did you beat I/I yourself? I mean only 1.1% of owners beat XCOM on Impossible, and only 1.2% beat XCOM2 on Legend, and that's not even with ironman on, so you can just savescum constantly.

And don't tell me it is too luck or RNG-based because that simply isn't true lol.

Yeah it is. I just don't get it. Why can't they fix their games? What god rig were the testers playing Xcom 2 on? How fast did this Vita port of Enemy Unknown get made? I guess it doesn't matter since they got my money both times. But still!

You have misspelled your username.

@blue_hazy_basic:

So you had to use some hacked together mod because Firaxis is too lazy to implement one of the most common control methods out there into their game? Interesting...

Nobody seems a bit concerned that it'll be a third party studio doing the porting? A brand new studio at that.

That is of no issue. This announcement serves only so that we can make fun of PC gamers. We're not planning on buying this.

"Please PC, may I have some more"

Yeah, let's ignore all the times PC gamers have begged for console games.

To this day they still beg for RDR. They begged for GTA V from the second it was announced, and it wasn't even a good game. There are tons who've started begging for Halo: MCC. They begged for FFX-X2 HD, and now beg for FFXII HD.

There is no such thing as misspelling a username :P A username can be any unrelared combinaton of letters and numbers.

I'll still refer to you as John.

PC gamers almost entirely depend on console games to justify those £1000 graphic cards. As it stands - 2 strategy games and 1 space sim (that will never be released) are the only - not enough- reason to justify a graphics card.

Entire genres once PC - FPS - TPS - RPG - Racing and now primarily designed with consoles in mind. It's all console games.

If anyone's Oliver Twist here - it's pc gamers

Considering Firaxis themselves were totally incompetent with PC optimizations even for those with high-end rigs, I'd honestly rather have a third party studio do the porting.
