It's not what the PC players would do is it? And you know how they sniff at the streamlined console game. But uh oh, did I do it using military might? It's totally valid it's just. I've conquered the world, outmanoeuvred some of history's best known leaders. But if I can just hold out the one day it will come. It would be so much neater if I could just wipe the board clean and start again. And I bet bloody Bismarck and the Germans attack me while I'm all-in elsewhere again.Īnd what about the temptation of starting over again - can I push through it this time? My empires tend to get awfully messy and unfocused as the game rolls on. But will I be ready? I don't want to do what I normally do and underestimate how strong an empire really is, and suddenly face a swarm of armies descending upon me. Then when I'm ready, I will tiptoe over his border and declare war. Now Genghis Khan wants to be friends - shall I shake his hand? I don't want to, he's a menace and I don't trust his moustache, but maybe a truce will do for now. Or how about science? Maybe one day I will take the Aztecs into space. Next, what kind of civilization would I like to pursue? Is military muscle the focus of my research, or do I want to wow my people with cultural wonders instead? Decisions, decisions. Would I like to put down roots here, next to a beautifully unspoilt river and rich grassland, or there, next to a mountain range glittering with riches? Then, where would I like to create my empire? A bewitching question. I can write my own history, I can cheat time and have the ancient Romans take on Queen Elizabeth. Would I like to be Cleopatra or Gandhi, Lincoln or Catherine the Great (while I'm on the subject: check out Helen Mirren's Catherine the Great on Amazon Video, it's good - saucy but good)? In this world, they all exist together. And it seemed like everything could be controlled by pressing A.įrom the moment I chose a character, I was smitten. It was bright and colourful, big and chunky. CivRev was friendly, it was warm - it came out in the summer and I remember it feeling a bit like summer. It managed to streamline something complex without sacrificing the essence of what it was.
It was wonderful, CivRev, to use a bit of the old lingo. To make it work, Civilization, Firaxis would have to redesign it. A menu-heavy, micro-managey desktop game doesn't naturally translate to being played on a controller while slumped on a sofa a few feet away from a TV. PC players and console players like slightly different things. And it was with this spirit someone at Firaxis made a wonderful suggestion: What if now was the time to bring Civilization to consoles? I suppose it was to do with games going online into a bold new frontier. It was the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 generation and for some reason it felt like a new age. And there was something in the air back then. Had I known I actually would be spending all day in my pyjamas in 2020, I might not have minded, but this was 2008. I wanted to spend all day in my pyjamas playing conqueror. I'd hear them talk about spending whole days or weekends engrossed in it, and how they wanted cultural victories by building great wonders for their people, about how they wanted to shape their worlds.

Revolution looks likes it's going to be a worthy addition to the series it's visually on par with Civilization IV and from what we're hearing thus far, it sounds like it's improving on the tried-and-tested formula. If you're a big fan of the Civilization series, but too much of a traditionalist to accept having the next game on a console, then you're missing out.

Also there are unlockable maps, scenarios, and mods to be found offline as well. This brings better balance to more ancient civs in the latter stages of the game and vice versa.Īnother revealed detail about the game is the confirmation of downloadable content such as multi-player maps and scenarios for the PlayStation Network. One interesting news bit is that each civilization not only gets one bonus throughout gameplay, but will get a different bonus as the game progresses into a new age. Civ enthusiasts might want to check it out the site has a lot of new information on all sixteen civilizations, specifically on their rulers and the unique bonuses each civilization will receive. The official website for the upcoming console game Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution is now up and running.
