Star Wars Zero Company looks great but Terminator fits the gameplay better thematically.
Ofcourse I'll be getting zero company but I've always felt that the Terminator franchise fits the Xcom gameplay better.
The human resistance fighting against the machines, gradually building up their tech so they can defeat skynet, at the same time Skynet is advancing their own tech.
The story begins at the point where the human resistance is starting to organise and has won a few key victories and Skynet has predicted the outcome where it is defeated. In order to counteract this, it begins a secret project akin to Xcom's avatar project, the time machine project. Now the victory conditions could go one of two ways: the resistance could defeat cybernet and destroy the time machine project creating an alternate reality happy ending or to keep in canon, the project cannot be destroyed but Skynet units are always increasing in strength and it is up to the resistance commander to decide when they are strong enough to complete the final mission and send Kyle Reese back in time.
Skynet could have all sorts of units, the hunter drones, the bike drones, the huge metal terminators the classic t-800s the t-1000s and so on.
What do you think? The Terminator franchise is ripe for interesting gameplay but I think it is underserved.
