Next but not 5 maybe?
Like the next bf...
After the ut series, Civilization is going to console now
I hope the pc version won't be just a console port. And I doubt it won't be.
Nice paradox. DS has "power to rival a pc"

GamersGlobal: Last question, what about Civilization 5 ?
Sid Meier: We should talk again sometime later this year...
Sid Meier: Well, Civilization Revolution is all the best parts of Civilization.

I have been told by your colleagues that Civilization Revolution will be highly portable because theres a core gameplay engine, and the rest is eye candy and interface. It is as easy as that?
It actually is! Were doing a DS version, and the gameplay is exactly the same as on the 360 and PS3. We do not like the idea of ports or outsourcing different versions to other developers. We want to safeguard our gameplay, we want to make sure that, with all the work we put into the gameplay, it carries over to the different platforms. So we have a game core that has all the game rules and the AI and everything. And thats the same on all the systems. Its just the graphics and the buttons that are different.
Well, Civilization Revolution is all the best parts of Civilization. Of course, were addressing a new audience, and we want to take the best advantage of the nextgen console hardware.
GamersGlobal: What do you think about PC games versus console games?
Sid Meier: The PC will be around for a long time, it is certainly a big part of our future plans. A number of the ideas were currently looking at internally are both PC and console. The nextgen consoles have the power to rival a PC in terms of graphics and processing. So it makes sense to build them both on the PC and the consoles. And were seeing that with a number of games. PC is still the best place to play a MMO. It has unlimited internet access, so downloadable games are still strong on the PC. Blizzard has certainly done a great job of keeping the PC upfront as a gaming system. And it continues to get better and better with new graphics cards and so on. Right now, we see this rich set of platforms, from the DS through the consoles to the PC, so were able to just say: This idea, where will it fit best?
