Gaming news site <strong>GGL Wire</strong> posted a video interview from the floor of last month's <strong>E for All</strong> convention with <em>Civilization Revolution</em> producer Jason "Loonyboi" Bergman. In the interview, 2:30 minutes long, Bergman explains the reasons for porting <em>Civ</em> to the console, gives a basic overview of the game and discusses the online options:
<q>This being a console game, we really wanted to do the best multiplayer Civ ever. So we're going to be online for PS3, for 360, for Wii and DS. All versions have 1-vs-1, 2-vs-2 and 4-player free-for-all. And because it's a lot faster-paced game it works really really well on XBox Live, on Playstation Network, on Nintendo WiFi connection.</q>
The video also shows portions of the game's trailer and footage from the floor of <strong>E for All</strong>, including (to the best of our knowledge) the first-ever footage of <em>Civilization</em> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosplay">cosplay</a>: someone dressed up as a Barbarian leader <img class="nofloat" src="http://static.apolyton.net/forums/images/smilies/scared.gif" />
