Firaxis at Pax East 2014 - Speculations?

hype train.

Yeah, probably this. Even just a flash of a logo that says "VI" with Baba Yetu going on in the background would make everyone go ape.

Yeah, all we really need for an announcement is a slow pan towards the Earth with the letters "VI" fading onto the screen. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, Firaxis?

Do you mean global view is coming back ? Do you have insider information ?

 

[Magma_Dragoon]

They should release a gag game, Civimulation, a Civilization developer simulator. Regardless of what design choices you make, the entire fanbase hates it and demands you be fired within 24 hours of release.

 

[Dragonflow]

Then they'll show a screenshot of a spearman and an archer on a hill. This will lead to civfanatics dissecting it completely. Trying to find out if it's 1UP, hexagons, UUs or if that brown pixelated blob in the far corner might be a coffee resource.

I'd rather a fighting game based off of this:

Ah that's great. So many people are pumped and primed for VI and at least half of them are going to flame the hell out of it on release

Yes, my spies at Firaxis World Headquarters inform me that the next game in the Civilization series will:

a) Be called "Civilization VI"
b) Be the sequel to 2010's "Civilization V"
c) Be a turn-based strategy game
d) See the player leading an in-game civilization from the dawn of man into the future
e) Be utterly hated by 50% of the CivFanatics community and completely loved by 50% of the CivFanatics community, leading to a widespread flamewar upon release.

Wouldn't be ironic if a), c) be wrong?

 

[Talcove]

Or if just C was wrong - Civilization 6: Cooking Mama edition!

Yeah, probably this. Even just a flash of a logo that says "VI" with Baba Yetu going on in the background would make everyone go ape.

Yeah, just take out Baba Yetu and burn it in a furnace and it would be the perfect event!

 

[Teproc]

I had no idea people loved Baba Yetu so much... I mean it's pretty good, but really ?

That seems unique.

 

[Magma_Dragoon]

Augustus could have a bonus to Roman Cancels!

 

[Securion]

Since they said "Waiting for something new to play?", it should be a new game right? Not just some expansion...

 

[Dragonflow]

It must be Civ VI then.

 

[Magma_Dragoon]

or is it Sid Meier's Sigma Draconis?

 

[Eagle Pursuit]

Maybe they will go the Final Fantasy route. The next iteration will be Civ V:2

 

[Teproc]

It must be Civ VI then.

My bet is on something completely unrelated. That way I'm managing my expectations

You just made my day, thank you good sir.

 

[Babri]

Special Announcement = Civ 6. You shall see.

They are working on it already, probably for the last year (minimum). Working prototype and all...

This.
