Weapons can also do up to twice the amount of damage they do in the current game. It's rare, it's very rare, but it can happen. Really powerful plas weapons may only do one hit point sometimes when you fire. The damage that your weapons do, the range of it, is increased drastically. Some of the options are taken directly from the original game. You don't have to beat the game after Second Wave comes out. It's retroactive, so if you already beat the game, it will recognize that. But then there are 16 total options that are hidden behind beating the game. When Second Wave goes live, there are four options that will just be automatically unlocked for everybody. This was kind of a way for me to experiment with that and bring that back in the framework of the modern game. Some of those high highs come from the unexpected nature of the simulation in the original game.
But by doing that, it also trims some of those high highs. I trimmed some of the unevenness of the game by making things a little more discrete, making the choices more discrete. I think that the simulation aspects of the original game had… It had some really high highs that are difficult to replicate. I've heard it described as board-gamey, which i think is fair. Modern XCOM is much more of a strategy game. The original game was much more of a simulation. Solomon: I'm a pretty hardcore fan of the original game, and when I look back on the original game… I don't want to give myself too much credit here, but this is sort of hindsight. Their ability to test that already was very helpful for me.Ĭan you give an explanation for why Second Wave wasn't included at launch? They were maybe an unwitting partner in it, but they definitely helped by having that out there. Then I added the soldiers healing slower in Marathon mode. I adjusted some of the balance because some people felt like the starting random stats weren't balanced well. They should heal slower as well." I thought, "That's a really good idea," so because of that, I monitored that and I read the comments on it. Somebody I was reading said, "It sucks that the soldiers don't heal right. There's Marathon mode, which makes the game much longer. In fact, I ended up changing it a little bit because of stuff they found when they turned it on. *Unlocked prior to completing a campaign.
