Civilization: Beyond Earth

It looks like the next Civilization game will be leaving Earth for the stars. Looks pretty interesting.

I saw the announcement yesterday, they could not get the rights to the alpha centauri name from ea, not that its really going to be another clone.

Well, we've been able to build space craft in Civ for a while now so I guess this makes sense.

Being a Civ-o-holic, I may be forced (by my own lack of willpower) to buy this and check it out. :)

That looks like it's going to be pretty cool. I've always loved playing the Civilization series.

I've been waiting years for the "Alpha Centauri" sequel. :)

I picked up Alpha Centauri from a GoG sale earlier but will keep my eyes on this as well.

I do actually have Alpha in boxed form as well which I used to play ages ago as well.

Cool! Looks pretty interesting! :)

The trailer looks super cool. I'll try it!
Thanks for the post.

Loved the intro! Very interested to see the progress of the game :)

Kind of freaking out right now. Been a Civ fanatic since the very first DOS based game (yes, I know, the fanatic unit was introduced in Civ II). Didn't usually bother with some of the Civ spin-offs, but this looks really good. Always wished we could extend the game past Alpha Centauri (without mods or scenarios).

me too! i loved the original Civilization game back in the DOS days. actually downloaded DOSBox just so i could still play it once in awhile. can't wait to see the new one when it goes live.
