00:05I'm Jake Solomon, I'm the lead designer of XCOM Enemy Unknown
00:09and today I'm going to give you a glimpse of some of the later game aliens you'll be facing off
00:15against in XCOM.
00:25So as the invasion wears on, the aliens, they're going to get more aggressive.
00:31They're going to start targeting cities around the world and the innocent civilians who live there.
00:38They're going to unleash horrors on the people of Earth unlike anything we've ever seen.
00:57Of course, as the leader of XCOM, it is going to fall to you to defend all of us.
01:04Now, XCOM is not like other games in the sense that in XCOM your soldiers are vulnerable.
01:09They can definitely die and to prove that point, we are joining a squad already in progress.
01:15A squad of rookies that is already hurt, they're low on ammo, they are scared.
01:22Any one of those things in XCOM can get you killed.
01:27We're going to take our last rookie here, move him up into cover,
01:31and then hunker down and try to wait this thing out.
01:39Now, unfortunately, what you hear there is the call of the chrysalid.
01:44And of course, we brought back the chrysalid, one of the most feared enemies in all games from the original
01:49XCOM.
01:52And we get lucky here, take one of them out.
01:56But our second soldier, not quite so lucky, suffers a fate worse than death, which will become clear in just
02:05a second.
02:08A heavy floater appears, an incredibly powerful flying unit from late game,
02:14far overmatching the rookies we've brought, kills them in one shot.
02:19And of course, to make things interesting, a berserker appears,
02:24and beside him, a sectoid commander, who among other things,
02:28has the ability to take control of our units, and make them do horrible things.
02:35In this case, they can kill themselves with their own grenade.
02:42A final rookie here.
02:44Evac! We need emergency evac now! Dammit! Now!
02:47Wisely panicking and calling for help.
02:51Help! Help! Someone help!
02:56Commander. Permission to send in the Reaper Squad.
03:07Now, to face off against these late game aliens, we need the world's best.
03:13And so we're bringing XCOM late game soldiers with all of their different powerful abilities.
03:19One class we haven't shown much of, the Psyonix class,
03:22where they use their mind as a weapon.
03:25And who has a bigger mind than Sid Meier himself?
03:28He's going to lead our Reaper Squad here.
03:31Now, remember the rookie that was attacked by the chrysalid?
03:34You can see what that does.
03:35The chrysalid bites, zombify soldiers, and if you don't kill them in time,
03:39then they spawn into...
03:44...new chrysalids.
03:48Bubbly, the only way to fight chrysalids really is to stay where they can't reach you.
03:54And so for that reason, we're going to send in our Archangel soldier,
03:56who's wearing the jetpack armor, fly about two stories up, and take out the chrysalids from afar.
04:03Now, this is a completely leveled-up sniper, so he has the double-tapped ability,
04:08which allows him to move and shoot multiple times in a single turn.
04:20Now we can send in Sid.
04:22And the psionic soldier, like the sectoid commander, has an array of mental powers.
04:29And here, we are going to take control, if we can, of this heavy floater.
04:39At this point, we could make him do whatever we want,
04:42but what we're going to make him do is sort of turn the tables and make him eat his own
04:48grenade.
04:55Finally, we have our leveled-up assault soldier, and she is wearing the ghost suit.
05:01It gives her incredible mobility, as you can see.
05:04She can run all over the battlefield, and it grants her limited invisibility,
05:08which is nice when you need to get close to the big, tough, deadly aliens.
05:12The suit also has an integrated grapple, which we're going to use to get it to the roof quickly.
05:19And that puts us in range for a shot with our alloy cannon, and that'll take out this berserker.
05:28So we have made short work of the aliens, but in XCOM, the battle is never quite over.
05:39Now, Cid has all of the troops gathered up to face off together against one last big threat.
05:57Now, obviously, we are going to need all of our firepower to face off against this.
06:07And we'll end it there.
06:10Thanks for watching, everyone.
06:11See you on my sport.
06:13See you soon.
06:16Bye-bye.
06:16Grazie a tutti.
