Console gamers ready for strategy games, says Sid Meier |
Ó
Civilization creator Sid Meier is confident that console gamers are now ready to take on turn-based strategy games, and he is now taking steps to ensure that console gamers will receive their ample share of games that require more brains rather than reflex. "The console audience is ready to step up to strategy gaming, especially when we can present in a way that looks cool and sounds cool," he said, adding that console gaming now allows for more innovation.
While Meier and Firaxis is now all-fired up to develop more Civilization games (and turn-based strategy games) for the console, Meier emphasizes that they will not in anyway neglect the PC platform, as it is still a crucial part of their development. For them, the PC still is the platform that serves the hardcore Civilization gamers.

I hate strategy games on the console. You NEED a mouse to scroll the screen (no the analogs dont cut it) and keyboard shortcuts are essential as well. Sid Miers needs to give it up and retire already. I will never buy a strategy game for any console.
please please please

Ps3 version will be canceled anyway.. Unlucky ^_^
I mean, it's nicier than a chair. And anyway my wireless mouse and keyboards are working perfectly with the ps3 so it's cool I suppose.
I'm saying "I suppose" since I don't really like sid meier games. :( sorry
The Wii is the only console that could potentially manage one well. Unless you're going to add mouse and keyboard support, games like these should stay on the PC, and when they're made well, the DS.
Well thats just it isn't it both Xbox and PS3 support Keyboard and Mouse. So why not. How the hell does a Wii support RTSs better? I don't think anyone will want to play Mii battles or whatever the hell they call those things.
I love civilisation, just plain love it. I would love a Civ1 remake on GBA. and a wii civilisation can be extremely cool! just hanging on the couch and controling your empire with one hand! CIV ME!
