Fuck it, I'm hyped. I don't even care if I will be disappointed, I refuse to live in a world where a TB Sid Meier game that puts you in charge of a space flotilla is met with anything else but the most pristine of enthusiasms.
Looks incredibly meh.
Pretty much the standard issue TBS reskinned for space theme.
Didn't Sid Meier recently say that Revolutions is the game he always wanted Civ to be?
Nah this was like 2013 or 14. Way after Civ 5 was released so Revolutions was definitely not his latest at the time.Someone giving exaggerated credit to their most recent release? Surely this has never happened before in the history of cultural products.
Completely unfair comparison. Sid is a guy who has set his sights on his goal of producing shovelware for profit, and largely succeeds at his goals: He wants to make shit, and he makes shit. Molyneux is a guy who comes up with plans far too ambitious for him to execute, and, of course, fails. The two are in no way comparable, even though they both produce shit. At least Molyneux tries, even though we have little hope for him.He's gone fullretardMolyneux and I don't have much hope for this, especially since it's on a fagPad (the most consoletarded tablet) and nothing else.
You think the Fable series is just down to being too ambitious? Shit like that doesn't happen by accident, it takes careful planning to create something that bad.Completely unfair comparison.

In that regard, Sid Meier is a man who clearly grasps what is within his reach. His reach may not extend far, but he knows what his limits apparently now are.
With a name that big, you'd have to work hard to actually LOSE money.Molyneux makes money too.

B&W 2 was a p. good game, managing to be innovative and fun. The sheer amount of content in there I'd say qualifies as ambitious. Yet Fable etc. were utter pieces of crap. Why? Because he knew it would appeal to the IQ<80 market of The Sims, Skyrim and [insert Bioware title here] players that today are the majority of "gamers". Thus, planned.With a name that big, you'd have to work hard to actually LOSE money.
I doubt that. More like he shot too high, and had to cut a lot of corners. That's his pattern with everything post-2000-ish to date: Aims high, drops the ball.
I'm pretty sure you're thinking of the leads on Civ BE saying Revolutions was their favorite.Nah this was like 2013 or 14. Way after Civ 5 was released so Revolutions was definitely not his latest at the time.Someone giving exaggerated credit to their most recent release? Surely this has never happened before in the history of cultural products.

Sid himself hasn't been directly involved with a Civ since 2 if I'm not mistaken.
Which is a quote from 2007 when he was trying to sell it. I bet Civ 5 was also the game he always wanted to make and CivBE was too!http://www.gamespot.com/articles/360-ps3-portables-getting-civ-ilized/1100-6173277/
"Meier said of Civilization Revolution, "[This] is the game I've always wanted to make!""
"Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution is a 2008 iteration of Civilization developed by Firaxis Games with Sid Meier as designer for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, Windows Phone, and iOS."
'cept he wasn't particularly involved with 5 or BE except as generic Firaxis dude, whereas with Rev he was lead.Which is a quote from 2007 when he was trying to sell it.
