Not to mention, they talk about his reasons for going to this exotic location in the trailer. Are these reasons not direction connections to the original games?

The reasons for not liking this is almost on par with the dislike for XCOM. People are way to blind to see that they are almost perfect successors portrayed in a different way.
I highly doubt that. XCOM changed the setting (50s instead of 90s), changed the genre, removed all recognizable elements (like aliens, world-wide organization) and only thing I connecting it with X-Com is a similiar name and alien invasion. By that logic Half Life or Crysis is an X-Com game...

On the other hand Max Payne 3 only changed the setting, everything else that was part of MP is there. People are only disappointed/sad because we don't get another of many games set in rainy New York with dark, gritty noir tribute.
