wow, never expected that to happen. I guess now a new version of Colonization is in order

Kinda strange. I never got into the Civ games really (except Civ Revolution on console...lulz), and never played any Xcom games, but I think I'm gonna buy this day 1 nonetheless. I trust into Firaxis, they're a quality studio and are backed by a publisher who has the balls to fund and market a game from a supposedly "dead" genre.

 

All the power to 2K and Firaxis!

I believe they did a somewhat remake of that too

Stupid question: What's the difference between Colonization and Civ anyway? Do they differ in gameplay?

Here's hoping we might see an Alpha Centauri sequel or remake.

Yeah, BioWare Victory might taste some blood in case Xcom sells well.

Crap, I forgot EA has the rights to this one.

Colonization is much like a more developed version of Sid Meier's previous game Civilization (1991) in visual design and handling, but the two have marked differences in gameplay.[1] Instead of forging a nation from nothing, the player manages the cross-Atlantic expansion of an established one in the service of the Crown. As the colonies become more self-sufficient their subservience shifts from boon towards bane, and to win the player must ultimately declare independence and defeat the Royal Expeditionary Force in battle.

mind = blown

More rumors: Next Xbox and PS4 to be shown at E3 2012

 

That's gonna hurt Nintendo a lot.

The new x-com has currently climbed up to the top of my list of most anticipated games. Firaxis know their stuff, and they've got a pretty good track record of remaking classics (true the other classics they've remade has been sid meier games, but still).

Move if you want Dark Souls on the PC.

Oh boy, now that would bring a whole new level of griefers to the game. Would be interesting to see how well they could port it.

I voiced my support in the dedicated thread on their forums, I'm curious to see what the hype behind demon/dark souls is about.

Demon's/Dark Souls is the new Diablo - in terms of addiction and wasting time.

 

Plus you get some real nightmares from it. So if you like your beauty sleep, DON'T PLAY THIS!

i would LOVE dark souls on pc, if only for the possibility of mods.

Mods? Elaborate.

Mods? Elaborate.

To make the game harder, obviously.

"Given the sales of games such as The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim and The Witcher, there is a large market for games like this. PC gamers love unforgiving, hardcore games."

 

Ha ha, oh wow.

Edited January 6, 201214 yr by virumor

my thoughts exactly, skyrim being unforgiving and hardcore? i'd bet that whoever thinks that doesn't last 5 hours with dark souls.

Most people probably won't care, but Katawa Shoujo got released a few days ago.
