Who else wants Civ II like wonder videos?

Man, I miss those. I think what I miss most is the music- they're each about 35 seconds long, but they seem to be a buildup to some awesome piece of music, whereas Civ IV's is just.. dissonant and unmemorable. I wouldn't mind a mix of the two in terms of approach, showing how it was built and then showing footage of the real thing and/or art of it, but really, get the music right!

And the High Council.. Man, good times. I loved hearing them bicker back and forth, and I missed them dearly; it seemed a bit lonely in comparison. It was sort of nice to have companions that would go with you through time. And if they bring back the throne room improvements, I can die happy.

The current Civ IV wonder videos are plenty long for my tastes. The content might be improved upon, but any canned video that plays the same way every time is going to be watched once or twice at most by the typical player.

Hm, I personally prefer those Civ4 style wonder videos. This is just becouse they fit much more to the timescale the Wonders get build within the game. In Civ4 all wonder videos are using all the same style, not different styles like Civ2's did. Following the links abouve, it looks like Civ2 was blending modern looking pictures and modern looking videos for ancient/medieval wonders. This is kinda displeasing to me. Why they show the ruins of the Oracle or Pyramids for example, when I just rear that building? Just my 2 ct's.

SMAC-like wonder videos. Actually, just make SMAC 2 already, we've waited long enough.

I prefer CIV's videos over C2V, but that's just my opinion! :}

It's been so long, I don't even remember what the Alpha Centauri wonder videos were like.

And they can't make SMAC2. Firaxis doesn't own the rights.

They're easy enough to find on Youtube.

True, but as far as the videos go they can use the style without infringing.

Thanks for the link.

I can see now why I didn't remember them; those were utterly forgettable. The Civ IV wonder videos are a hundred times better.

If their purpose is to induce sleep, I would agree.

I also think they are better, but most of them could be about 5 / 10 seconds shorter.

I prefer Civ4 wonder videos.

Where do I vote to have the resources wasted on movies no one will watch a second time instead used to make the game better in some way?
