NoXTheRoXStaR Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Awhile back there was a X-COM fansite called X-Command, I'm sure some of you old tymers remember it. The site is now closed. Anyway, I remembered there was a section dedicated to Deleted material from X-Com Games, (or something to that extent) I recall seeing a backdrop image of an alien that resembled a Shark or Sharkman but was removed by Mythos. Does anyone happen to have that image or know of where I might be able to locate it? Gimme some feed back mates! Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazedc Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 I support this man's claim of the existence of XCommand! I recall it also featured some sweet animated GIFs of walking Spitters. I don't recall the Shark stuff, though.Where is Byron these days anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKF Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Ah XCommand - that's where I hail from. I think the deleted material has been saved and archived here somewhere, but now that I go to look for it, can't seem to find it. I think the shark man was used in one of the early promos of the game, but was cut in the end. - NKF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoXTheRoXStaR Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share Posted February 9, 2012 Thanks m8s! I knew I had seen it before, shame they didn't include the sharkman into the game, that would of been badass! <--Check the avatar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silencer_pl Posted February 9, 2012 Share Posted February 9, 2012 Maybe they changed sharkman to tassoth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomb Bloke Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20080220222442/...com/index.shtml I still use it for reference every now and then. Other "aliens" that got cut were some variants of the Tentaculat zombies. There was a plan to have infected troopers retain their armour - they'd've looked about the same, but with zombie heads. The sprites made it into the final game but aren't used. sp1ke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talon Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 If those appeared on the island terror missions then we have LAND SHARKS sp1ke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsathoggua Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 iirc the Tasoth were originally planned very differently, so I read although ive no idea how. Also is it only me that sees this or do tasoth in tactical missions take on a distinct masculine or feminine look (for a reptillian hell spawn at least) depending on how the fin crest faces? And we do have those^ they are called lawyers:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
