From Strategyinformer.com: "Civilization V's Lead Designer Jon Shafer isn't a particular fan of multi-platform titles, it seems.

Speaking to Strategy Informer last week, Shafer mentioned, in response to a question about Ubisoft's R.U.S.E. and motion control with strategy games, how he preferred seeing games tailored to individual platforms."

Great to see a Developer being truth to it's platform. Thank god for sparing us all another terrible consol port.

Love you Sid.

This is pretty much expected. Can you imagine Civ2 or 3 on a console? It'd never work with a controller.

MaxOpower5023d ago

Expected, yes. But it doesn't make it any worse.

Civ 2 WAS on the PS1 haha, not sure how it played though.

I don't think there is much of a market for complex strategy games on consoles anyway, if you enjoy these type of games, you probably have a capable PC.

Civilization Revolution says hi. And, it didn't take all day, but it was a very deep game, a gateway drug to the entire genre.

While it was great to have Civ on my PS3, I'm glad that this ones is for the PC.

I want the Civs of Old where you had to manage everything and it took you all day to complete the game.

I know the shame. Not this game but I have about 5 different games with humiliating time in them.

It's about 4-5 hours a day, every day since launch.

Edits: bad math initially.

How ideas of civilisation have shaped gaming

Philip Boyes:
When I was a kid, I played a lot of Civilization 2. I played a lot of strategy games in general, but having a deep love of both history and sci-fi, the epic sweep of Civ 2 from prehistory to the stars held a particular appeal. I loved taking my little people from their huts and ziggurats to the world of science and advanced space-flight.
