Just wondering - I don't know how the two compare, but I suspect the newer iPhones have about the same power as a Nintendo DS. Does anyone know whether Civ Revolution will be ported to the iPhone ?
I have not seen any indication that Firaxis plans to do this, so I would categorize such a proposal as a long shot. I presume Firaxis has turned its sights on something new...
While I would love to see CivRev (or ANY Civ, for that matter) ported to the iPhone/Touch, I am realistic enough to know that:
The controller is completely different from that used for the existing versions. They would have to come up with a completely different method of handling that.
A completely new set of graphics would have to be produced.
Probably most important: CivRev is in Firaxis' rear-view mirror. They are well on to other things.
They did do a decent job with the interface. Personally, it's a little clumsy, but probably the best that can be done with a purely touch-screen interface.
And it looks like the port was done by 2K-China. Firaxis would have had oversight, but probably most of the Civ dev team was not involved.
And since they did release it for the iPhone/Touch, I'll close this thread and point to the new one.
