Massive Chalice team in Skype call with XCOM's Jake Soloman
Project lead Brad Muir and designer John Swisshelm from Double Fine have released an hour long Skype call they had with XCOM: Enemy Unknown's Jake Soloman, discussing the return of turn-based strategy.

2K Marin has been busy 'evolving' the planned XCOM experience announced way back in 2010. Thanks to Firaxis' XCOM: Enemy Unknown, "the time is right" is explore a new experience in the series.
It seems the XCOM shooter has become a "high-stakes narrative" that's imbued with "core XCOM concepts." It's all rather fuzzy as to what that means, but we can expect to hear more soon.

All this new-fangled hardware for the next generation consoles wouldn't typically be something a PC centric developer like Firaxis would care much for, but producer Dennis Shirk says they're paying attention.
It's what Microsoft and Sony are coming up with that goes into the machines, like Kinect and PS4's new controllers with 'Move built in'. They're becoming "much more attractive" to PC studios.
