Civilization Is Headed for the Stars

Awesome

I want to go to there

#FuckThePlanet #WeOut

The PC Gamer interview has a lot of good details about what this game's going to be like.

*Comes Immediately*

Alpha Civtauri?

**** me, I didn't see this coming, just hook it to my veins when it's done along with Oculus and I can finally escape this planet, at least in my mind.

Anybody know if this is supposed to be considered a spinoff or if it's going to fill the role of Civilization VI?

Yes.

@tonetta777:

From the info that's out there this is more of a sequel to Alpha Centauri but includes a lot of things from Civ 5 so I wouldn't expect Civ 6 anytime soon after this comes out.

Read the title expecting another expansion to get me hooked back into Civ 5. A new game to get me addicted doesn't sound to bad, though.

Yes, yes, YEEEEEEES!

Alpha Centauri 2, then Sim Golf 2 guys.

@ultraboi: If this is Alpha Centauri 2 in everything but name, then this is a day one buy for me.

I'm flippin out over here

I'm so in on this game! Sci-fi CIV just take my money !

In response to Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth, Electronic Arts is proud to announce Alpha Centauri II!

exclusively for ios!

want to rush Industrial Automation research for only $3.75??

Hell yeah.

Finally, Alpha Centauri 2! Took them long enough.

Interesting

Finally, I can begin the Ascent to Transcendence in glorious 1080p.

After the heroic sacrifices of colonel Zed, Prophet and the rest of the squad to protect it from the aliens, fucking human race leaves the planet?!

Wait.

Alpha Centauri status: reinstalled.

I really want to like Civ games but I just cant get into them. Everything feels too fake, or on rails. Its like oh her come Gandhi again to threaten me for tribute.

I can't even articulate how excited I am about this. I can finally stop harassing Firaxis devs about Alpha Centauri 2 on twitter!

YES.

I can't tell you how itchy it makes me that Civ V stops right at the dawn of space travel. Those bastards knew exactly what they were doing.

YESSSSSSSSSSSS

Well…I suppose I'll have to clear a couple hundred hours from my schedule now. Thanks, Firaxis. D:

Finally that Alpha Centauri spiritual successor we've been waiting for.

hey this is a great! really nice video too

Alpha Centauri 2 basically? Yeah, okay.

There's a scene in that trailer that, pyramids aside, is eerily similar to a dream I vividly remember from my childhood. It freaks me out in a nice way.

I imagine it's called this because they don't have the rights to the name Alpha Centauri anymore, right?

Never played Civ but now I'm in

4X in space? That'll never work!

Can't wait!

Yes please.

33rd and Lex looks like that currently. Are we running out of time?!

Yes, EA has the rights to AC. Also Civ is a bigger name at this point so it makes sense either way

Not normally a civ fan but I might check this out.

Space?
Space.

@john1912: seriously! I hope this is different.

Sid hasn't disappointed me in 30 years. I'm on board.

If "global warming" leads us to getting to space faster, fuck it, my car is idling 24/7!

I usually don't get exited for things, but this made me tingly.

ABOUT TIME!

It's beautiful man :')

Well everyone has pointed out the obvious. But another classic 4X game I'd love to see get a proper sequel (if not in name) is Master of Orion II.

This is now easily my most anticipated game of the year other than Witcher 3.

D: Civ in space?! Sign me up! I look forward to this consuming my life (like Civ 5 did) this fall!

Edit: This trailer makes me think of the Interstellar trailer

I'll take 10!
