[GS] Future Update?

[The Kingmaker]

Oh, you know they had to have recorded a bunch of Boromir memes the first moment they got him in the studio.

Still, it’s a nice tease.

If it really is new audio, it is very interesting. I dont believe they did any new audio for R&F and GS if I remember correctly. If one was inclined to hype, one might take it as a sign of a larger expansion. But Im sure no one would jump to that conclusion!

Either points towards new content. If Firaxis are going to recycle old audio, they will probably patch in a new mechanic they've previously developed but couldn't shoehorn into a previous patch, xpac or dlc.

New footage points towards new content and you don't need me to point out what that would mean.

There were new wonders, techs, civics (literally entire new era in GS), so there was no new adio only If they knew wonders, techs and civics they'd add in later expansions from the get go.

EDIT: Also RF trailer had Sean speaking If I remember correctly so they would have to have pre-planned trailer for expansion while not even the base game for it was complete yet

Sean voiced the GS civ intros. So they definitely got him in the studio for that. The only thing Sean didn't voice in GS was the diplo victory spiel.

The sean audio sounds like it has been cut before “one for turn”. It sounds like 2 different spoken lines.

*please end the news drought now firaxis*

It is a pretty rough edit. At first I thought maybe it was a voice test recording. But maybe it is some cut of "take one more turn" appended to "One does not simply..." sourced from LotR.

 

[leandrombraz]

Is it truly new or left over from some previous recording session?

That's old, they recorded it back when they was working in the base game. They already posted this back in 2016.

Whoa, dont know how I could forget about all of that.. Dont post when too tired on 1st of January I guess

 

[AntSou]

Ok, so nothing actually happened. Excitement level back to zero .

 

[Abaxial]

Perhaps they have fixed that stupid spiel about "great beasts of the Stone Age". Not to mention that barrel of muskets!

Heeeeey. I love the bit about the beasts of the Stone Age!

Well, I see a qualitative step: the last official statement ,"We are still not done!" by dshirk could mean "just" several (maybe even FAT) patches, but that would be it.

Now a tweet from Sid Meier's Civilization@CivGame (Official Sid Meier's Civilization feed) with "One does not simply ... take one more turn" by Sean Bean on New Year's Day will undoubtedly wake hopes beyond patches. And I see no reason why they would do that without actually planning more than patches.

The message I get is: "We will do more than patches, but don't hold the breath, we need more time, we cannot simply ... make one more [...]"

Oh, I see how you're reading it. I think you might be reading too much into it, but I like it.

Ok, another patch with an alternative scout (carrying a box) confirmed. When the scout enters a goody hut, the box blinks and shows whether [...].

Initially I heard this as "beasts of the Stonehedge".

Weather?

 

[AntSou]

Weather?

I read it like 'you guys finish the sentence I can't be bothered'

Me too. But a box that shows weather is much, much funnier.

 

[blackcatatonic]

I was very excited about the implications of the Bean Meme until you spoilsports pointed out the audio had been edited.

That said, they are deliberately toying with us, I believe, which I don't think they would do if there wasn't something on the horizon.

also, as someone who loves her pop culture references, the mere fact that they gave the Boromir meme a Civ makeover and even roped in Sean Bean's voice acting just makes me so happy on its own.

 

[RohirrimElf]

Agreed blackcatatonic.
