Civilization series heads to consoles, handhelds |
This could very well be a groundbreaking announcement for strategy fans on all platforms, or at least for fans of Sid Meier. It's just been announced that the Civilization series will be taking a step into new territory in the form of Sid Meier's Civilization Revolution, which will be made for the console and handheld platforms. Firaxis Games will be developing Civilization Revolution, with 2K Games taking care of publishing the title.
If you're wondering what's going to be new with this game, look out:
Some of the key features that will resonate with fans of strategy games and the Civilization franchise include 16 civilizations to master and lead to victory, an array of famous historical leaders to play as or compete against, and accessible maps and streamlined time scale for quicker games, intense combat, and constant action. In online multiplayer mode, players will compete for world conquest and glory among their peers as they battle in teams, head-to-head or epic free-for-all matches.
In addition, auto-matching, ranked games, leaderboards, achievements, downloadable extra content and integrated video and voice chat make the online play more versatile and fun than any previous version of Civilization and will allow players to see where they stand against the competition. Finally, the position of ruler of the world can be settled online.
No word on where the game will be made playable, but there's a good chance we'll be seeing it on all the consoles. We'll have more on this when we hear of it. In the meantime, let us know how you think Civilization should be handled on the platform of your liking.

first post and a stratergy game on psp NICEEEE!!
i have something sooooo intersting to tell you, 1st POST hahahahaha!
Cool civilication for psp! And first!
I hope they make it were you can play against each other across console platforms. It would be cool for me to use my PS3 and play against my friends on their X360's.
Civ is one of the best games ever made. i can't wait to see it on my PS3 and or PSP. would be cool to play on lunch brack and i'll how thay said. streamlined time scale for quick game but i also hope there the full game also that takes like 20 hours to beat.
did the creator of civ say he loves sony playstation? wouldn't it be sick if i was ps3 exclusive? hha since we support mouse/keyboard
people that can't spell.
"Break"
BTW: This game is going to be awesome, can't wait for it to come out for my psp and 360.
first of all, the 360 also supports usb keyboards
and the point of moving it to a console is to have access to a controller, instead of the retarded setup of mouse and keyboard, that i still can't get used to for more actiony games.
i hope this goes on the wii cause that is the only console my parents wud buy, not because of price but"because it is exercise." Also this shud go on psp. The grafx wud be perfect.
yaga yaga yoooooo
Lets take a computer game put it on a console and make you use a mouse and keyboard. You must have a job in marketing you retarded monkey.
Besides the wiimote would make life so much easier than both either way. And since Civ has been more about gameplay than graphics anyway, it fits perfectly.
freakin yea!
i hoped this would come out for psp, hope its out before x-mas!
It could be worse, they could of bought you a PS3 HAHA! HAHA INDEED!
This is good news but they should have released a game like this ages ago. This is a game I will be definately buying and anyone else who ''acquires'' this game should also buy it to show their support.
at least !!! my dream comme true ...
I was wondering if ennyone was going to make a civ3 homebrew .... but .... it's way better civ 4 !!!
Yet your not... your 2nd
Yet your not... your 3rd
you just need to post this and get 14 people to register to get a 60gb ps3 it really works

go to that exact url
What, are some kind of extremely obese kid who won't do anything to actually lose weight? You don't get any real exercise with the Wii. You'll get carpal tunnel before losing half a pound. You're parents are extremely dense
I wonder if it would somehow also include Alpha Centauri. That would be the icing on the cake. :) I'm very excited about this news. Sid Meier is a god! ^_^

Type in the exact url above and refer 14 people to get a ps3 package of your choice
Why did you buy a ps3 when all your friends are at xbox live?
Play Civilization 1 SNES rom on your psp or Civilization 2 e-boot from ps1 iso on your psp...
