I was also very excited to hear about a new XCom game, and then very disappointed that it was going to be turned into yet another FPS.
The turn based action was part of the charm of the original game (although XCOM: Apoc had real time as well), and I really did enjoy the "pseudo-turn-real-time" system that Laser Squad Nemesis brought into play. Too bad LSN requires a subscription to play multiplayer, I would have bought it otherwise... In any case, XCOM is not an FPS style game.
Anyway, I predict a game that may have its moments, but will be at best mediocre for the general population and extremely disappointing for old time XCom fans. Just an attempt by a company to capitalize on the name of a title and nothing else.

Sad.
