New box of PTW

They have changed the box of PTW?

WRW · September 8, 2002, 11:23

IT'S WONDERFUL...

... BUT WE HAVE TO BUY TWO GAMES TO PLAY MULTIPLAYER!!!

MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!!!

Andrew_Jay · September 8, 2002, 11:57

I don't think there is a Play the World and a Play the World Multiplayer . . . but yeah, you'll need Civ3 and Play the World to play multiplayer, but I'm pretty sure you knew that already.
Though the new box is interesting, I just noticed it on some game site a couple of days ago.

very civ

Hagbart · September 8, 2002, 16:31

What was wrong with the old box?

Dida · September 8, 2002, 16:46

The new box art is lame. We don't see much other than the 2 hands. WTF.
I look forward to play PTW, for free of course.

brianshapiro · September 8, 2002, 17:29

i dont like the two hands , i like the background to them though

statusperfect · September 8, 2002, 17:53

ugly box

Darkworld Ark · September 8, 2002, 21:24

Nice box!

Did anybody else notice the Eiffel Tower in the backround?

asleepathewheel · September 8, 2002, 22:24

nice manicure

ok box, but not one that I would think twice about before throwing away.

The_Aussie_Lurker · September 8, 2002, 23:29

Yep, I noticed Darkworld!!
I also noticed the helicopters! Though it might not mean anything, one can hope that it means that there will be new Wonders and Units above and beyond the ones mentioned in the reviews!

Yours,
The_Aussie_Lurker.

I don't think they would put that on the cover unless PTW included helos and an Eiffel Tower GW. But what's that castle thing in the top right... another wonder ?

Mr. Schwang · September 9, 2002, 00:21

Box is gay...as the game probably will be too. It's all about the money you see...Firaxis dousn't give a BEEP about what we want in the game, all they want is our money.

Then I guess you don't have to give them your money, do you? I for one am looking forward to the release, gay box or straight box.

Not too crazy about the arms. Other than that, I suppose it looks fairly nice.

Carver · September 9, 2002, 02:45

Next Question: What will the Eiffel Tower do?

Hagbart · September 9, 2002, 08:47

Too many pyramids!

MarkG · September 9, 2002, 09:06

The old box was better

The diplomat · September 9, 2002, 11:17

the new box art is fantastic. The arm wrestling is such a great metaphor for multiplayer.

wervdon · September 9, 2002, 11:23

I think its a HUGE improvement over the old box art at least.

Master Marcus · September 9, 2002, 15:46

The new art is fantastic and I find the box to the point for the historical evolution of the civs involved. I like both the hands AND the background, it's just we see too much helicopters since they are quite useless in the game yet ( we never saw choppers on SMAC's box , and they should have been there because THOSE ones were quite overpowered ).

Slax · September 9, 2002, 15:52

That is really lame artwork. Brutal.

Oh well...doesn't matter.

Alex · September 9, 2002, 16:00

I like the new art. My wife is horrified with the man's nails, though.

The old box was too bland and uninteresting.

Alfonso · September 9, 2002, 16:05

To my I like the two boxes, I do not have problem...

Gangerolf · September 9, 2002, 16:50

does it really matter what the box looks like? it's whats inside that counts

d_dudy · September 9, 2002, 17:09

does anyone suppose the new box art means the world map won't be included???

yeah, i just mentioned that because i was disapointed that they couldn't get that in the first game, but i'm looking forward to ptw.

box art looks kinda aoe though, don't ya think? i think the first one suited civ's subtle class more, like the civ 3 box.

kring · September 9, 2002, 17:32

There has been no mention of an Eiffel Tower Wonder in any of the press releases or interviews.

Andrew_Jay · September 9, 2002, 19:49

Hey that castle is that one by that . . . guy. I have a 3D puzzle downstairs but am too lazy to look. it's a pretty cool castle, built in 18th century (I think) and made to be a sort of fairy tale castle.
I think it's in Austria, or southern Germany.
I don't think that just because there is a picture there it's necessarily in the game, I've heard no mention of an Eifel tower. And there is already a helicopter.
