What people forget or ignore, is the fact that the first game was available for consoles and it was pretty much identical to it's PC version brother (judging from screenshots and videos anyways).M0rp43vs said:I may have squealed like a giddy school girl watching this. How they're handling Base building and glam cam are pretty clever ways of reinvigorating and adding more style to the turn based genre. Though just wait for the people to cry out about time units being simplified or it coming on consoles as well.
All in all, I can't wait for it to come out. I'd play the original game on steam to pass the time till it comes but I can't figure out why the colours are all freaky and 5 seconds time whizz by so quickly
I'm a newcomer to the series, I bought the first two games in a Steam sale many moons ago and I just can't get into them, I'll eventually will, but as it is, it's an overwhelming amount of information one needs to know to just start playing the game.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for complexity for video games, I love the Civilization series, because Civ 4 had a great tutorial and I can play Civ 3 without much trouble, also Civ 5 is very noob friendly. I'm very confident that Firaxis will get this game right for both the newcomers and veterans alike.
