Support NeoGAF

[Antiwhippy]

Excellent, I actually like Alpha Centauri more than Civilization.

I wonder what makes this PEGI 18.

You won't believe the space bikini design on space cleopetra.

 

[OldAsUrSock]

This is why i would personally like to see them bring it out on the PS4 or even X1. If my laptop can run Civ5, a PS4 could run it with no problems. And it's not a game with a overly complicated control scheme.

This PC elitism on GAF fucking kills me sometimes. It's worse then the everything must be 30k resolution 9000fps arguments.

GAF doesn't have much PC elitists. A few existed, but they got banned.

 

[1000 Branches]

plus the added brand recognition of Civilization - win/win!

too bad this didn't warrant a quick steam firesale on xcom complete -_-

That might just happen yet lol, remember, the game isn't officially announced yet.

 

[A Serious Man]

I need this right now.

 

[Teletraan1]

Good. I wanted an AC type game. Even if they had to call it something else. Good on them for working around the nonsense in the games industry.

 

[Ysiadmihi]

Looks pretty awesome. Also glad we're not moving on from Civ5 yet.

 

[Armaros]

Good. I wanted an AC type game. Even if they had to call it something else. Good on them for working around the nonsense in the games industry.

In the end it might be better for them to use the civilization name, its more widely known, and has been used recently.


I must have this game in my veins now even tho I'm already engrossed in AoW3.

 

[Weeman0313]

I'm a little bit afraid for this. Civ 5 took 2 very expensive expansions to make it enjoyable for me. I really hope that doesn't happen for this game.

 

[ACIDTITAN]

 

[suddenlyissoon]

I wish it was just an expansion to Civ 5. I think it'd be awesome to have a long game where you conquer earth and then can travel in to space, only to conquer it slowly too. Some civ's would be stuck forever on earth and some would own entire planets.

 

[Vyer]

Omgomgomg

 

[ito007]

oooh my gosh I'm so down for this. I could definitely use some space with my civ

Age of Wonders 3 and a spiritual successor of Alpha Centauri in the same year?

Where am I supposed to find the time for all those 1 more turns?

Hearts of Iron 4 is q1 2015. Are you man enough to play it?

 

[Armaros]

And galactic civ 3

Death by "one more turn" games!

The only solution is to play both at the same time and while one is processing AI movement you play the other.

ITS THE ONLY WAY DURANTE

Alpha Centauri 2: Hexagonal Boogaloo

Looks cool!

 

[jph139]

Awesome - never actually played the original Alpha Centauri but I've heard nothing but good things. Should definitely tide me over until Civ 6 at the very least.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Do we know if this is a full fledged game on its own, or if it is a pseudo-standalone expansion for Civ 5 like Civ 4: Colonization was for Civ 4?

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

nvm

 

[Tworak]

this looks very, very interesting

 

[XiaNaphryz]

SMAC sequel in spriit? I'm onboard!

Just need equivalents of people like Lal, Dierdre, Morgan, Miriam, Santiago, etc.

 

[Myomoto]

I foresee a drastic drop in my productivity this coming fall.

 

[Apenheul]

This could be GOTY for me, can't wait to play it.

 

[Mudcrab]

I hope this will be as good as Alpha Centauri was.

Maybe after the first few expansions... Still my hype for a new Alpha Centauri can not be stopped.

 

[Captain Tuttle]

Well, time to upgrade my ancient PC.

 

[XiaNaphryz]

Hearts of Iron 4 is q1 2015. Are you man enough to play it?

Too hardcore for 99% of GAF.

I hope they have voiceovers for the tech advances again like in SMAC. Maybe have Morgan Freeman do it and give it a Beyond the Wormhole vibe. ;P

 

[brd]

Wow, so hyped, just hope it doesn't feel as incomplete as vanilla civ 5 so you dont have to wait for two expansions before playing and even longer for the modders to get to civ 4 level.

 

[Impeccable]

I don't remember much of Alpha Centauri but what I do remember is being hopelessly addicted to it at a young age. My hype is rising quickly!

 

[FACE]

I hope it is, though. Imagine they could do with those secret project cutscenes.

Like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lva8L-J8x04 but even more depraved, and gory where applicable. Yes please.

I love those secret project cutscenes, some of them are pretty fucked up.

 

[Kurdel]

So fucking hyped over here.

 

[SparkTR]

Do we know if this is a full fledged game on its own, or if it is a pseudo-standalone expansion for Civ 5 like Civ 4: Colonization was for Civ 4?

Well, they said AAA game so I'm assuming something big and new.

 

[Durante]

Hearts of Iron 4 is q1 2015. Are you man enough to play it?

I've never gotten into the Hearts of Iron series. I realize it's one of my biggest failures as a PC gamer

 

[ghostmind]

Holy moly

 

[Zia]

Please be good, please be good, please be good.

I also recently revisited Alpha Centauri and it was too archaic. Firaxis has been on a roll for a few years now so I have hope, even if it (probably) lacks the depth of AC.

 

[Lingitiz]

Holy shit.

 

[OldRoutes]

Looooooove the box art and the in-game art!

Really excited!

 

[TC McQueen]

I'm hoping this is great and comes with mod support out of the box. There's a ton of possibilities for a game like this.

Day 1

 

[Neuromancer]

Do we have any idea if this is PC only or also on console?

 

[SpokkX]

Do we have any idea if this is PC only or also on console?

Probably not a popular opinion but i would love this on ps4

 

[Nirolak]

We should find out momentarily as the panel has started.

 

[industrian]

RIP industrian's spare time. We hardly knew ye.

Nothing is stopping them from doing somethign like that. Crusader Kings and Europe Universalis IV link save games in a similar way. I doubt it, but it would be fucking rad for sure.

 

[Wubby]

Really exciting news!

 

[joezombie]

Is the panel streamed anywhere?

 

[LastNac]

Any chance of a console port?

 

[Neuromancer]

We should find out momentarily as the panel has started.

Good sir I am on tenterhooks here!

Probably not a popular opinion but i would love this on ps4

Psst... Me too...

 

[nbthedude]

Isn't this panel live right now? No live stream?
