[Gargantou]

OMGZ!
I can't wait.

 

[destrukt]

looks very promising, didn't get into civ3 too much, hopefully will now.

any word on a demo ?

 

[Xune]

This can't come soon enough, I've dabbeled in the othr Civ's and Alpha Centuri but this will be the first time I've actually been geared up for a propper game.

 

[dream431ca]

Alpha centarui was the best strategy game I ever played. This game loos awesome as well...how far can you go into the future?

 

[Gunner]

Meh I don't like the new graphics but if the gameplay is the same, I'm definitely buying this.

 

[kirovman]

This looks very promising, I think it will be a game I will enjoy throughly.

I never liked Alpha Centauri. I think its because I love history, and I like being able to identify with the technologies and progress of my civilization. In Alpha Centauri, it was all random new stuff. And to answer your question, I think the game goes up to 2050, just like every other civ.

I am extremely excited about this one. I definately need a timesink, since my girlfriend of over a year broke up with me. Whatever. civ > vaginas.

lol, that's the spirit!! :cheers:

 

[Mattigus]

Haha, I just watched the video review. It shows a bunch of medieval knights swatting a helecopter out of the sky. That is some skillz.

 

[Gunner]

I just watched it as well, that nuke at the end put a huge fat smile on my face

The one thing that really bothered me the most was probably climate change in Civ 3, I hope they removed that.

 

[kirovman]

Every piece of new material on this is making me more excited to play it. Release date in UK?

Gunner, did global warming ever affect you significantly? I only noticed the occasional tile changing to desert or whatever.

Maybe they're gonna have something to do with "The Day after Tomorrow" for global warming

 

[Fonaki]

It looks ok, but it's not my favorite gamegenre. Also am I getting Quake the day after tomorrow, and then there won't be long untill aftermath is out. So I've not got the time eighter...

 

[marksmanHL2 :)]

Looks fun, might be the first game i buy in aaaaages.

Well I just hated having to clean up the pollution

 

[kirovman]

Well I just hated having to clean up the pollution

Oh yeah sure, I hated that too.

But if you put your workers on automatic, they should have gotten round to it.

 

[Xune]

Well there's a pollution rating for cities so I supose there is the scope for Global warming.

Perhaps it's an issue that the UN (ingame of course, in real life they're too buys snorting coke and pretending to be busy) deals with, like nukes and the creation of a non-proliferation treaty.

 

[kirovman]

I think that the options for all kinds of new diplomacy will be fun, it was rather limited before.

 

[Gunner]

Yeah it was basically pay or demand tribute and lame alliances that lasted five minutes.

 

[Mattigus]

Well I just hated having to clean up the pollution

In the new game, theres no polution. How great is that?

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Release date in UK?

My thoughts exactly. Game.net don't have the game up on their site, like it does not exist, we should hopefully know my monday

 

[Xune]

Tomorrow for the US, 28th for the Uk (and, I would assume, the rest of Europe).

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Hmm, not bad I guess, its a Thursday, and thats when my weekend starts (technically wednesday and friday are my weekends off

 

[StardogChampion]

Game says Nov 4th for the UK - http://shop.game.net/ViewProduct.aspx?cat=10406&mid=326438

 

[Xune]

Play.com say 28th, and they're doing it £10 cheaper.

 

[Gunner]

In the new game, theres no polution. How great is that?

That's fantastic news moouahahaha!!

 

[kirovman]

What about nuclear pollution?

 

[Gunner]

Well if nukes still hit tiles surrounding cities then there will probably be radioactive pollution.

 

[Kangy]

Play.com say 28th, and they're doing it £10 cheaper.

My Amazon dispatch estimate pointed at that (it was due for tomorrow) but I was playing around with the order, and when I moved it to first class, it jumped up to a dispatch of 2nd November. Weird. Maybe the release date for the UK is a bit shakey?

 

[weskerQ8]

man just wooow !!

anyone know when will this game gonna release ? for pc for sure

 

[Xune]

Yeah, it looks like things are coming a bit unstuck with the releases. America was supposed to be today but it's now tomorrow while in the UK we can expect it around the 4th.

No good reason for the Europe delay, the game has been gold since the 19th, it just looks like the publishers are sitting on their hands. Ah well, they'll only loose sales due to leaks created from the American market.

 

[xLostx]

it's just not my bag baby

 

[Raziaar]

WOO! Will have my game tomorrow I think! I'm PUMPED!

 

[kirovman]

It got 92% in PC Gamer UK!

must buy, woooo! Only 2 more days, October 28th apparently!

 

[Kangy]

It says 3-4th November on Amazon It'll be dispatched tomorrow if it is due for the 28th, anyway, so we'll know then.

 

[Raziaar]

I get my game today guys.

Proud to be an american, where at least I know I get my games first!

Yeah, well, we get all ours on DVD in awesome DVD cases, so nyah

 

[Raziaar]

Yeah... c'mere you, i'm gonna rip yer roo legs off!

 

[Kangy]

Yeah, well, I'll milk yer udders!

In the ideal world, you just preload the game a week or two prior to release and then you get it instantly on the day. Shame that publishers are obviously terrified of that.

Silly rabbit, udders are for cows!
