I just want a proper sequel to Alpha Centauri. Haha
God damn EA and their I.P. Shenanigans.

Still, will be interesting to see what improvements they make to the formula or if they continue to play it safe.

With a console release day one, I imagine the safe route is what was decided. Ironic considering Alpha Centauri’s entire design philosophy was the game to be fun lol

Alpha Centauri was a little bit more nuanced in my eyes verses Civilization.

It's story is vague enough to allow for interpretation from a philosophical perspective by leverage strong characterization of the factions.
The planet also acts as an additional character, which will respond to your civilizations development and goals in various ways.

Basically the different factions are not just different skins with a few setting changes... Which is why Civilization 3 reviewed poorly verses Alpha Centauri.

Thankfully Firaxis has stolen some of Alpha Centauri's positive aspects and rolled then into Civilization 4 and 5 and other sequels... Like the Utopia project end goal which is basically the Alpha Centauri's equivalent of Ascent to Transcendence secret project.

I still prefer Civ 5 to Civ 6. But even if it isn't as good I expect it will be different enough that I will still buy it and enjoy it and have zero regrets getting it. Lets hope they can manage that

Civ 5 was probably my favourite since Civ 2 (or Alpha Centauri, if you count games outside of the mainline branding).
