He also talks about how the game was a life-changing experience for him, that drove him to be where he is now.<\/p>\n<p>Being a huge fan of the original X-COM games myself I can really identify with what he&#8217;s talking about. The way he talks about the gamer&#8217;s challenge and the feeling that your small victories really mattered because you couldn&#8217;t get your men back. There&#8217;s no way he could be faking this kind of thing. We have the lead designer&#8217;s love for the game, that&#8217;s for sure. Now, that can&#8217;t be a bad thing right?<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ocDyANHhfLs\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"365\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake Solomn talks about where did he started from to make XCOM: Enemy Unknown, and what excites him about the new game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1668,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"registered_only","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[466],"tags":[742,741,699,572,697,780,751],"class_list":["post-6727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-videos","tag-2k-games","tag-firaxis-games","tag-ufo-enemy-unknown","tag-video","tag-x-com","tag-x-com-ufo-defense","tag-xcom-enemy-unknown"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1668"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6727"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6727\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.spacesector.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
