I just rewatched the Gatekeeper reveal, and oh shit.

1) The shot after it opens up looks like it might have been a psi drain that killed the guy and automatically zombified him.
2) This suggests that they might just reanimate anything killed by their psi attacks.
3) Between (maybe) psi drain and a psi AoE attack - what if I'm really wrong about them being evolved discs and they're actually evolved ethereals?

They are probably failed Ethereal-clone/human hybrids that were put into lobotomised cyberdisks because silicon life never gets any respect...

TotalBiscuit previews XCOM 2. Seems like there's a lot more stuff now, and some of the new stuff seems like it's directly inspired by Long War improvements.

HMR stands for Hazardous Materials Requisition, not Horrible Massive Ruination, though I can understand how one could get confused.

I've resisted hype assimilation for this long....but TB's video destroyed my will to resist. Still debating a preorder but I don't think I'm going to do my usual "'wait 6 months to play that thing everyone is going crazy for." There is so much more joy joy built into the game now, it's delicious.

Question from TB's vid though: is the building space within the ship really just that 4x3 or 4x4 grid?

It looks like a lot of the core buildings are hardcoded into the larger spaces around it, so the grid will solely be for more specialized things.

Fifth class spoiler out there already?
Well, RIP me keeping up-to-date with Xcom then.

Also is the TB video any different from the other two-mission play through that were done a couple weeks ago?

You should really look to the wilderness for your stealth ideas, it has been doing it much longer than you have after all. Take squids for example, that ink trick works pretty well, and in water too! So you just sneak into the dam upsteam, dump several megatons of distressed squid into it, then break the dam. Boom, you suddenly have enough water-proof stealth for a whole city!

It shows later-game stuff, and a glimpse of a new baddie or two.

Uh, sorry I haven't been following this.  Where does the P2W come into this, or is it (hopefully) a joke?
