"Civilization IV"... Confirmed? - Page 4

SMIFFGIG · December 19, 2003, 21:01

Hopefully Civ4 will be better than Firaxis's last piece of utter crap called Civ 3

but i doubt

wilebill · December 22, 2003, 12:58

How on Earth did it take me 3 weeks to pick up on this news item.

Reminder to self: Check front page once in a while rather than go straight to OT forum everytime.

And if you do that, you'll become a deity quicker

If you want to help out, we have a threadmaster sign up thread- I think it's buried on page two of this section

Good luck!

Huh??

Civilization III has been the best Civ game to date, IMO.

Just for the record, even though this is a fanboy site where the moderators banish critics, critics who thought Civ3 sucked have valid opinions.

AustralianJeremy · December 28, 2003, 23:54

Looking forward to it. But I'll wait for the "Gold" edition next time. Been burnt too many times...

Sean · December 30, 2003, 18:17

Just a quick post to say this news (civ 4) has made my day.

Flinx · January 1, 2004, 16:03

October 2006 at the earliest, preferably October 2007 otherwise why bother? Any sooner and they could just release two more expantions to Civ3, make just as much money and get the same result.

I'm scared

to be happy

about this news

Lambiorix_be · January 2, 2004, 13:53

Great news!

I do hope they focus on the epic games and not on scenarii like in conquests....(nor on multiplayer features)

VitalyB · January 3, 2004, 15:45

Pfff.. I am still waiting to Alpha Centauri 2

.

angryyouth · January 4, 2004, 20:34

i cannot wait for another civ to come out. it might give the developers a chance to develop a somewhat decent diplomacy and casus belli system to replace the one that destroys the game experience for me so often

I think I know what you mean: When you have shared many gifts and made relations to the other AI civs very good, and suddenly for no apparent reason they declare war on you. They do this even if you can beat the hell out of them easily and then you have the silly alliances... in that case, both puny and majestetic forces assemble behind your back to swarm in from all sides. No matter how good a diplomat you are.

Michael7586 · January 9, 2004, 16:06

Personally, after the hideous CIV3 product, I don't have much hope, but I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised!

Sirotnikov · January 10, 2004, 11:53

I hope they go back to the epic feeling civ I and civ II gave me.

And that it won't be boring like civ III (sorry guys)

HuangShang · January 10, 2004, 20:59

so What will be new in Civ4
will they really do better, how about some graphics update, afterall, it is only a TBS, they should make everything prettier w/o raising the spec requirements too much anyway

Chuckles · January 11, 2004, 04:22

COOL

d=me · January 11, 2004, 21:48

Firaxis is just a bunch of cheap greedy bastards that rip off 1/100000 of a brain idiots with their so called "games" that is not any better than romance of the three kingdoms series from koei, with their civilization 3, and now they're going to make a 4? With what their infantry? tank? A guy can make a better game in his basment. How much did firaxis spend on the whole civilization 3 project with the expansions, five bucks? Because it seems like it.

Nikolai · January 12, 2004, 11:13

Anything more you would add?

Grow up...

Ozymandous · January 12, 2004, 16:14

I'd also like to add my vote to hoping Sid does a Colonization II one day that is more fleshed out and deeper than the original.

I just hope that Civ IV isn't CivII with different graphics like some wanted CivIII to be... If the game play of CivIII were implemented with better diplomacy like in MOO and a few other games it would be great.

d=me · January 14, 2004, 01:55

No, it's you that need to grow up. Playing little kid games with generic units that is extremely low in number. Can't memorize the units? Well that's your probem.

Yep. Have you tried the C3C Age of Discovery campaign?
It reminded me a little bit about Colonization, with the treasures you need to bring home and stuff. Allthough it does use the poor Civ3 game engine, it's quite fun.

Also a great paradox game called Victoria has used some of these good old Colonization concepts, like the pops in which has different roles and stats, and the loads of different resources in which you can trade to get income, or use for production. You need for instance a number of smallarms to build a division and you need clippers and artillery pieces to build manowars, etc.

Daveybaby · January 14, 2004, 19:20

Dont forget that the feature set is going to be drastically cut down even from CivIII, in order to be able to fit all of the required functions onto the XBox controller.

But at least there will be 3-d graphics to compensate.

thats a joke, by the way.

Uncle Thade · January 16, 2004, 22:21

I am going to dance the happy dance all night long and then play CivIII all weekend!!!!! CIV 4 is a coming and I will kick all those little Civ's that thwart me back into pre-Civ 2 days... Yippeee Kiyay Mother&$%#@^&!!!!
