X-Com has never been subtle. Just putting that out there. Cinematic camera is an option that can be disabled though according to Lead Producer.

I would rather put it like this: the first game was subtle because of it's limitations. I still hoped that psi would be invisible. The point about cinematic camera is that I love it, but seeing from an alien's perspective would break the immersion for me, so it's a really hard choice to me.

I actually hope they hot-key it on PC. I'm not going to want it on all the time, but I do want it for those awesome sniper shots and spray-and-pray building assaults.

It also might be like an auto-scout when aliens kill you. It depends on whether you can see how many aliens are with the one that just killed your guy.

[MarcAFK]

Maybe they'll put in an option to turn off alien perspective cam?
I'm sure a modder will add that in at some point anyway.

[Drakale]

That gameplay footage looked pretty slick. I still dislike the way they handled psi training, but that's just personal preference. I can probably skip it in game anyway and use good old fashioned bullets.

New footage. Fast forward to 3:51:40. The official 2K feed shows the new mission fully, without interruptions and narrated by Pete Murray from 2K. It also shows interceptors in action and a new mission where they breach a UFO with soldiers decked out with carapace armour and laser weaponry and meet an unknown alien. Both parts are in surprisingly low (blurry) resolution. Will post high-res stuff once I find it.

The interceptor bit looked a bit disappointing since I couldn't discern any options beyond the obious "abort" order. Work-in-progress perhaps.

I want it. I want it! WANTWANTWANTWANT!

[Mephansteras]

Yeah, really hoping the interceptors get more to them. Making them less interesting than the original is not what I want!

Best interceptor system i saw was the one from xenonauts! that is what i call interception

Yeah, but it's too micromanagy  for me, I play xenonauts for tactical battles on good old soil. I like the interceptions but essentially they become too much of a chore once you hit 10th ufo.

The intro sure wasn't subtle for it's limitations

I was talking about the game . Also, the intro was still much more subtle than holding psy-balls in your hands .

Jumping out of a rocket powered plane while firing a chaingun into a crowd of people to hit a neon green spandex'd giant monkey is more subtle than glowy hands?

Inaccurate physics and aliens are less out of place than flashy fantasy magic in sci-fi, yes.

I'm sorry, but I'm going to have to go with "meh" on this one. It's just a visual representation of a gameplay element, and I can't say that I see anything wrong with it.
