Firaxis have announced Civilization: Beyond Earth. Personally I was hoping for a new XCOM game, but a spiritual sequel to Alpha Centauri makes me happy too!

Just when i started playing the original game again... I'm not quite sure if i'll like this version though, but i'll keep it on the radar.

Civilization V was a disappointment (more a strategy _game_ than a civilization simulator like the earlier entries in the series). We'll see how this turns out, but I'm not hoping very much.

Well its not Alpha Centauri II :( but I'm still very happy and excited to see this. :) [And whilst Civ V wasn't a patch on Civ 4, I still played it for several 100 hours, so I think I got my money's worth].

I could never get into the Civ games. I just couldn't get over the fact that a cadre(?) of bowmen guarding a city could sometimes defeat an attacking tank division! ;)

Fun games to watch on YouTube though.

Sounds interesting, though I too had prefered a true Alpha Centauri 2. Played SMAC like few other games. Perhaps the best of the series.

I always pretended the bowmen had adopted the knowledge to use Molotov cocktails. :)

Here is the video from the PAX East panel where Firaxis unveiled the project. They talk a bit about the development and core gameplay elements.

I have to say I'm really anticipating this! Alpha Centauri was a great game and Firaxis is a capable studio. Yeah, Civ 5 wasn't universally loved (never played much of it personally, so I have no opinion) and XCOM had a funky strategic layer, but still... they seem like a good team. Even with inevitable flaws I think they can make something special with this.

Not sure if you mean it as such but this best review I've ever seen of the latest Sim City.
