Since 1996, developer Fireaxis Games have produced numerous award winning titles from the great mind of Sid Meier, notably the Civilization franchise. Civilization, has always had a home on the PC, but back in 2008 the franchise made a terrific debut on current generation consoles with Civilization Revolution. Since then, the series has returned to the PC, but with Fireaxis now hiring for console talent, could we once again see Civilization come to consoles?
LAS VEGAS -- Civilization is one of the gods of strategy games, where you oversee the creation of a whole society in competition with other civilizations. It debuted in 1991, and now at 25, it has become one of the cultural touchstones of the game industry, something that everyone recognizes or has played in the past.
Maybe I'm saying this because my PC is shit but I really would like a good console Civilization game on par with the PC ones.
Civilization Revolution wasn't half bad...just dumbed down a bit
Interesting stats, but they missed the most important ones- how many relationships were ruined? And how many jobs were lost?
I still remember the day my dad finally convinced me to go and peel the potatoes by turning off the power to the entire house.
I think I lost about 5 hours worth of game play that day.
Its official Civilization Revolution is Headed to The PS Vita!
Why the video show R2 button in the bottom right of the screen?.the game can hit vita,but this video look fake.
They're not showing the game, it's not even confirmed yet, how would VitaBoys get a hold of a gameplay video already. Looks like it might be the first CR, which was released on PS3. But why it shows "Civilization V" at the beginning is beyond me.. just a very confusing way of making a vid for a topic like this
To the two above, no... You obviously don't know what 'dead' means. As long as there are games coming out for a platform, it's alive. So, you're both quite wrong.
To be fair, there's still games coming out for Dreamcast. Vita isn't dead, but it's also not thriving.
Saw the title and knew that there would be a comment saying word for word what you said (not even joking).
Also, if a port of some strategy game is exciting news for the Vita you can safely say it's dead...
Screw it, you fanboy's can remain in denial, I'm done, nothing more frustrating than trying to be rational with the irrational, enjoy your annual Vita port.
It's dead when Sony says production of the console is discontinued and developers stop making games. Until then you're just being over dramatic. People have been saying it's dead for three years and yet I'm still seeing new consoles hitting shelves and new game releases.
Based on many posters around here if anything you're defining it as undead.
Dorkly: "History is written by the winners, and that applies to games, too. While we hold up our post-apocalyptic wasteland adventures, period piece assassinations and Liberty City crime sprees on a pedestal, we would do well to remember the little guys. These underseen, criminally underplayed games didn't do well critically or commercially, but they were still wonderful experiences. Here's a small list of recommendations of unsung heroes of the PS3/Xbox 360/Wii era."
Alpha Protocol has some fantastic ideas in its conversation and story progression due to choices. I really enjoyed my time with it.
A spy rpg can be done with amazing results if handled correctly.
God Hand
Partly because I just recently discovered it and its insane.
What a gold nugget.
Suck it PC gamers!
Love Civilization!
I really liked Civilization Revolution, and would pick up another version on console day one.
I have played Civilization 5 to death, and Im ready for another Revolution. (Maybe with K&M Support, and maybe even Move Support on PS3)
I'm normally a strategy games type of guy, but man I just could never get into these. I tried the demo for the last one on PS3, and it was just... bleh.
I love Civ games, though I miss the old school ones.
