Civilization VI

Some interesting stuff like multi-tile cities ala Endless Legend and some sort of dynamic research shown so far, also some level of unit stacking?
Begin hype sequence.

I'm kinda sad to see the Civ V style probably go away. I liked the Art-Deco-y design.

We are doomed. It's just that whatever is going to kill us all just happens to be, from a scientific standpoint, pretty frickin' awesome.

WOOT.

I very much dislike the $80 CAD price tag though.  I might wait till it goes on sale, which I usually don't do with the Civ's.

Edit:  I guess its equivilent to about 62 dollars US at the moment, which isn't entirely unreasonable.  I'll think about it.

I got burned when i bought a game of the year edition just to get informed that the edition does not in fact house all of the expansions.
instead i got a bunch of pointless nations and a random map generator or something.
And knowing them buying civ6 will equate to just getting the demo since all the features previous games had will be reintroduced at a later date for an exorbitant amount of money.

It's already been confirmed that CivVI is going to have the features from BNW and G&K.

That trailer is hyping me up more than it has any right to really :V

But I guess that's what you get when you combine awesome music with what sounds like Sean Bean. Anyways, the new features sound really cool, love how they're taking cues from other games in the genre to spice up the core gameplay of Civ. Also agreed on the art style, while it's by no means bad, CiV one was way nicer imho.

Honestly a bit hard to get excited about, for me. With all the stuff that's come out lately, Civilization just isn't the big quality name that it was half a decade ago.

I loved Civ Rev, but just the association with it makes the graphics seem much worse than they actually are. The details are actually pretty good compared to Civ 5 and the designs look nice as well.

That being said, I definitely preferred Civ5's style. It still felt stylized while looking realistic.

Probably, they must've realised it'd be easier to just make a new game rather than to continue trying to fix the mess that was BE

Is this supposed to be a website? It seems to have failed worse than I've ever seen a site fail before, and I'm not even blocking it from running javascript.  :o

Me and my roommate have a long standing tradition.  Randomly out the blue one of us will suddenly just say "Civ?".  If the other responds "Civ?!?!" then we both must waste way too many hours playing Civilization multiplayer.
