Civ V for concle ( spelling fail =P )

[King Commando]

if you won't support a console Civ V then support CivRev2

I can only think that anything that would bring a more cerebral game to the console market would be a good thing for gaming in the long run.

I played and enjoyed consoles for a long time before i was lucky enough to get my first pc, i loved many of the console games but for years i wished i could play a good strategy game and i never got to, it's a real pity that console gamers are so forgotten when it comes to strategy titles.

As long as the pc version does'nt suffer, Civilization for consoles is an awesome idea, you'd probably be surprised how many console gamers would jump at the chance to play a game like civ.

civ5 IS civrev2

*shrug*
It already feels like a console game, why not release it on one?

Not that I really give a damn about consoles...

Where's the answer "I don't care about consoles"?

Anyway, Firaxis' producer of Civ5 has ruled out that Civ5 would come to the consoles. See the interview here. Excerpt:



So if you want Civ5 on the console, don't hold your breath. On the other hand, Shirk's statements in this interview haven't been especially reliable either, so who knows ... (I still wonder what he meant with Civ5 being a "big sloppy kiss for the fans". Currently I'd rather say they're kissing us goodbye ... )

I'm not so sure about that though.
Look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWrUCjct_bQ#t=1m25s

And at 1m25s the guy says that:

[...]and civilization revolutions, which was our civ experience with consoles, taught us a lot about how to present this complex information to the players in a way that could be controlled with a gamepad; and used these lessons in civilization 5

I don't know why they would want to design the UI to be accessible with a gamepad unless they wanted to release it for consoles later.

yup civ5 reeks of console interface...

as bad as civ5 is on PC, i think it would make a top notch console game.

 

[Reginleif]

I am confused, what is this poll asking? What is a concle, do you mean uncle?

 

[h0ncho]

concle=misspelled console.

 

[Reginleif]

concle=misspelled console.

Im pretty sure he ment uncle. So i voted yes.

 

[King Commando]

i said spelling fail

 

[Reginleif]

I didn't liked Civ Rev, it was the most recist civ game since 3

civ5 IS civrev2

no it's not. V has a lot more in common with IV, than with Rev.

civ5 IS civrev2

no! Civ5 is CivRev, for the PC. Firaxis Produces Dennis Shirk SAID SO

quote from interview with Front Towards Gamer (available to all at the CFC homepage btw)
"...they decided to make 5 appeal more to those who might have loved Rev and wanted something more--but who may not be ready to leap into Civ 4's complexity."

It really is a freakin console game allready, adapted for the PC. It still makes my stomach turn.

EDIT:

nope, sorry, your wrong, and I just proved it.

Is this a joke? Have you played all the games in question? V is not like Rev, no matter what Shirk's intentions were.

 

[bryanb2007]

I read the original post, and thought oh that is clever he is comparing Civ V to Civ Rev. Funny, and then I read two pages of replies, and no one seemed to be in on the joke.

Hmm was the joke too subtle ? Or did I miss the point of this thread ?

It's no joke unfortunately. Some people actually compare the two.
