"Civilization IV"... Confirmed?
From the related news item in Apolyton's 'Miscellaneous' section:
|
Quote:
|
In an interview with GameDaily, Firaxis Games President and Chief Executive Officer Jeff Briggs seemingly confirmed that one of the three titles being worked on at the gaming developer is Civilization IV. [..]
This is the first known word of any kind from any representative of Firaxis or Civ series publisher and franchise owner Atari confirming a CivIV is in the works. The latest title in the Civilization series, Conquests -- the second expansion pack for Civilization III -- was commercially released last month.

WHEEE!!!! Each one takes another 2 hours off of my normal amount of daily sleep. 
Here's hoping one of the other projects is 'Sid Meier's Colonization II', as well.

Hope we are not being premature.
I'd like to see Master of Magic 2 and a new X-Com title (I believe Sid has the license for both).

Set Task Reminder for 12/5/05 to see how far along Civ IV is......
I want a great product too....I wonder if we are talking about a major change in play style, concepts, etc...or a incremental set of improvements or features.

"Seemingly confirmed" doesn't raise my hopes. I put that one step above "probably we'll possibly develop it, maybe."

Really a nice (premature) Christmas present! I hope that the 3rd game is SMAC2.
Mark: Yes, it would be nice if you covered it. But isn't that what this iste really is all about?

I would love for Atari to give MoM to Firaxis, but unfortunatly the Idots over at Quicksilver have been trying to get the title for a few years. I pray the don't get it after what they did to the MoO series, but who knows?

I found it very interesting that Brian Reynolds wasn't mentioned once in the (fairly detailed) history of Firaxis...

So does anyone know who actually owns the rights to MoM. Did Infogrames Hunt Valley office own it, meaning that it is now Atari??
Or someone else entirely??

Hopefully they will develop the Civ4 "engine" with both games in mind.
