Everyone should have a read of the PC Gamer article.

I am nervous about them leaving Earth's history, but it sounds like they are taking a really cool approach, and I understand it was time to take a risk!

Worth it for pyramids in the ocean scene.

I wonder if it even much of a risk though.  

I mean looking at it, the lead designers seem like newbies so I can only imagine they have a second "Civ Prime" team working on Civ 6 as we speak.

And I imagine they're using the same engine for Civ 5 or Civ 6.

Either way I hope it's a big success and leads to more adventurous choices.

Fall From Heaven 2 was the best part of Civ 4 and Fantastic Worlds had a badass Fantasy Scenario way back in Civ 2 days.  So a fantasy one could be awesome as well.

Ohhhh interesting way to look at it.  I didn't even think of that, it didn't occur to me that this might not be 'Civ 6.'

But I feel like they really risk splitting their base.  I mean there is already a tonne of people still on Civ 4 (me for example) primarily!

awesome! love civ games, and this one's in space!

I would like to say day one purchase, but not sre it would run on my pc

As you say a lot of people still play regularly Civ 4/5, plus they launched an expansion for 5 last year. A game with a different setting allows them to attract people that may not be interested another classic Civ. This project gives them an oppertunity to let classic Civ rest while also putting out a new big project that isn't a huge departure from what they are known for.

Would love for this to be on the PS4

I'd take that over a PC version, but I'll gladly get it on PC if that's the only option.

Why do you all mention console versions? This is a PC game. And it should remain as such.

I'll be buying this on stream the second it's avail. Then planning my new PC build.
