Civilization: Beyond Earth

I'm pretty stoked tbh, it'll basically be CiV but AlphaC with customizable Civs


Should be good

Civ: Beyond Earth is billed as a ‘science fiction-themed entry in the award-winning Civilization franchise’, delving into humanity’s future on an alien world. In a press release, Sid Meier is quoted as saying, “We’ve always let our fans create the history of mankind, and Civilization: Beyond Earth will now let them create the future.”

The game features revealed are as follows:
Seed the Adventure – Players will establish a cultural identity, select a leader and sponsor an expedition by assembling the spacecraft, cargo and colonists through a series of choices that directly impact starting conditions when arriving on the new alien planet.
Alien World – Exploring the benefits and dangers of a new planet filled with dangerous terrain, mystical resources, and hostile lifeforms unlike those of Earth, players will build outposts, unearth ancient alien relics, tame new forms of life, develop flourishing cities and establish trade routes to create prosperity for their people.
New Technology Web – Reflecting forward progress in an uncertain future, technology advancement will occur through a series of nonlinear choices that affect the development of mankind. The tech web is organized around three broad themes, each with a distinct victory condition.
New Quest System – Quests are infused with fiction about the planet, and will help guide players through a series of side missions that will aid in the collection of resources, upgrading units, and advancing through the game.
New Orbital Layer – Players will build and deploy advanced military, economic and scientific satellites that provide strategic offensive, defensive and support capabilities from orbit.
In addition, the press release has stated that Civ: Beyond Earth ‘will be among the first wave of products optimized for the latest in AMD graphics t[echn]ologies, including: the new Mantle graphics API, for enhanced graphics performance; AMD CrossFire™, for UltraHD resolutions and extreme image quality; and AMD Eyefinity, which allows for a panoramic gameplay experience on up to six different HD displays off of a single graphics card.’

Three screenshots of the game in this early stage of development have been released to the press, revealing a strong resemblance to Civ5, with hexagonal tiles and a familiar graphic style, though overlayed with the ‘dangerous terrain’, ‘mystical resources’, and ‘hostile lifeforms’ referred to. However, the 2K press release makes absolutely no mention of Civ5, indicating a desire to develop a complete standalone title. The description of the game and aforementioned features, meanwhile, strongly indicate that Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri has served as inspiration for Civ: Beyond Earth, potentially providing a spiritual successor for fans of the acclaimed 1999 game.

"SORRY, I couldn't hear you over the sound of my tits! what were you saying?"

Yeah so basically it is Alpha Centauri 2 but with that still looks like a fun edition to the Civ famaly.

Let it be said to stockpile nukes for the inevitable mindworm rape and the purging with holy fire of the thermo nuclear kind.

"Sir reports from Outpost 6 are complaining of headaches and wriggling sensations in their heads?"

"Lieutenant... arm the warheads, target designation is Outpost 6."

Remember shoot or die!

It is basically....They can't use the name Alpha Centauri as Paradox Interactive holds the rights I believe...they bought them last time for the first game....


EDIT:

the other reason I'm excited is that, with CiV,IV,III,II,I I always have what little immersion broken when I think about the fact that I'm the Persians fighting the Chinese with Portuguese allies in the Jungle on the bones of Napoleons Rev. France....its not a huge thing but, eh, that won't happen if your colonizing a new world...also, sometimes I'd like to play a civ but then I think about their bonuses and go blegh, then look at the civs with bonus's I do like and think, blegh, I don't want to play as them....


should be good, if I read any more news I'll link it here

I think it's EA who holds the rights to AC. I read it on the internet.

Could be good.

-I would if I could, but I can't so I won't.

yeah, might be EA...I was on the CiVfanatics site and they had the announcement...I then read something? about someone holding AC...but, shrug...

Hmm, I'll give it a go. But as I said, didn't like hexes.

From what I read , if you didn't like CiV then don't bother, because it'll be that on alien planet....like, not even exaggerating ....I think it'll be VERY similar to CiV, and by similar I mean almost exact....


I think it'll change just enough to make it interesting
