Jake Solomon, creative director of XCOM: Enemy Unknown and XCOM 2 is joined by Eurogamer's Chris Bratt to tell the remarkable story of how a dream project almost didn't get made. Enemy Unknown, released in 2012, brought the XCOM franchise back from the grave and was extremely well received by fans and critics alike. However, its development was anything but straightforward. As Solomon himself has said, in regards to an early prototype of the game: "We lovingly crafted the biggest pile of **** that anyone has ever made." So how did Firaxis turn it around? Come and find out. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/egx
