Speaking of Microprose and Brian Reynolds, I would absolutely die for a new Transport Tycoon game.

That was pretty much the first video game I fell in love with, after Warcraft 2.

That's a neat game to update. I approve.

Although I do not like Civilization: Revolution. It's probably great for those who are new to strategy games, but I've played too much Civ 4 at this point.

Civ Revo looks great. I finished the demo yesterday and it made me very happy. I will buy it fo sho.

The controls are great. There are many gameplay innovations that make it easy to play on console.

Its still Civ, but new. And I cant wait for XBL multiplayer.

As for Colonization, I never played it. I am not sure about this Civ IV/ Colonization. If it comes to Mac, I will check it out.

I got into Civ with Civ 2 but I have to say I was really impressed with the Civ Rev demo. It's obviously a lot more streamlined but I was suprised how much of the "civ" feel they managed to keep. Can't wait for the full version.

I completely agree about the Civ Rev demo. I thought that the concept of playing Civ was still alive and kicking, but you didn't have to worry about any of the micromanagement. I'll grab the 360 version when it releases for sure.

On topic, I don't know what this new iteration will offer that I don't already have in Civ IV... I guess we'll know more this fall.

Awesome.

I spent months playing the original, I hope this game does it justice.

I loved the original as well, and played it a ton. I hope it plays as good as the original. I just wish they didn't ditch the name as I'm sure most people are just going to assume its a add on for Civ IV. Just the fact they named it this makes me worried it will play like an add on, rather than having the unique systems the original had (such as choosing founding fathers).

Never played a civ before. After playing the demo for revolution it made me want to try other ones. The demo was pretty long and cut you off right when you were getting somewhere

Hopefully I will be done with Sins of a Solar Empire before this comes out, 'cause I do want.

Probably won't be done though... that game is easily the most addicting PC game I've played since... well Civ IV.

I loved Colonization (more than Civ, even).

Wikipedia says there was some controversy about the game ignoring slavery; wonder how they are going to handle this in the update.

>2K Games says the title will feature "all-new graphics" >-- although we can't tell much difference from Civ IV

Not new compared to Civ 4, new compared to the classic Colonization. Silly joystiq =)

I actually hope that it IS an add-on for Civ4 as far that it adds it's features to CivIV and they aren't exclusive to this game. Of course, if this includes everything from vanilla Civ4 through BtS, it won't be an issue.

But if it's just vanilla Civ4 w/ these new colonization features, and it doesn't add it's features to my xpanded Civ4....well, that'll just plain suck.

I hope that made sense to people besides myself....

Those are some yummy water graphics.

I hope it gets released on steam on the same day as retail.

Funny, I feel I was discussing this a few months back. Was there a recent poll asking if we wanted it remade?



Because I did. And I'm happy. Although the FreeCol guys might not be.

Civ IV is still getting expansions and is still an awesome game!

I am happy with this - lets home they make Alpha Centauri II with the Civ IV engine next.

ZOMG! I've been waiting for a Col remake for hundreds and hundreds of years.

Well, months.

Ok, days... but it felt like years!

About time Colonisation got an update. I loved playing this game back on my Amiga 1200; it's one of my top 10 all time favourite games.

I just recently picked the original back up and played it for a few days, still deliciously good after all these years. Also, if you're looking for a fix yourself, check out [freecol](http://www.freecol.org/).
