Any News on Alpha Centauri 2 ?

Sid, please make Alpha Centauri 2. Please!!!!

 

[voltar]

Yeah... Just don't make like Civ V... IMO Civ V NOT civ... one unit per tile was nonsense. The polygons I could have lived with

 

[killaman]

Agreed. The team that made Civ V really screwed up on many levels. The hex tiles is fine by me.

There's been multiple threads here asking for Alpha Centuari 2! If you have a look at some of them you can see some of the background surrounding your request.

 

[Lovebird]

I also want SMAC2.

 

[Helmling]

We all want it, but we shouldn't hold our breath.

They can't make it. EA owns the rights to Alpha Centauri. And EA won't make that game. It's too hard for casuals to play it. Sales will be pretty low. Or it will be dumbed down into oblivion or turned into a FPS where you shoot mind worms.

It's too hard for casuals to play it.

Actually we casuals can play and love to play a game of any complication, all that's needed is to provide us with a thorough, progressive, click-here-and-then-there tutorial (the kind that was present in Civ4, but surprisingly not in Civ5), and the Citizen difficulty setting. Add cheat mode, sandbox mode (which is relaxed exploration without competition), shiny trophy room — and ANY game becomes casual

No EA would turn it into command and conquer, or spore.
