Check out the new developer diary for The Bureau: X-Com Declassified

2K Games is slowly but surely attempting to convince people of the sanity of trying to make a shooter based on the X-Com universe. And while The Bureau: X-Com Declassified has rightly faced a lot of opposition and skepticism since its initial reveal, it’s beginning to look better and better as we learn more and more about it. Check out the newest video, a developer diary, on the game, and tell me if you are convinced. The entire idea still sounds unnecessary to me, to be honest, but at least I can say that the game they are making using the license looks fairly interesting and not just a cookie cutter cash in like many of us originally feared.

Except for the graphics. Those graphics look awful.

The Bureau: X-Com Declassified is due out on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Steam for PC, in August. Stay tuned to GamingBolt for further coverage.
