After predicting a release of civ5 before the end of October (more info), Kotaku today joins the large group of online magazines to features it's first Civilization 5 preview.
Like the other previews, Kotaku's preview has also been based on the early build demonstration Firaxis gave at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Their first impression is that civ V has "been modified to feel more true to life and more rife than ever with strategic potential."
After expressing their happiness about the graphics and the hexes, Kotaku has news about the computer specifications Firaxis is aiming at. "The current minimum spec Firaxis is hoping to accommodate are 256 MB video cards and dual core processors. That target might change."
The small preview ends with a surprise. "the developers said there will be surprises as to how non-military ways of winning the game, the standard cultural and technological victories, for example, will be designed."

This is good news as multi core machines have been pretty much industry standard since 2000. I just couldn't believe Paradox Interactive still doesn't offer multicore support even on new games coming out in 2010 as not having multicore support would be like not having a multiplayer option in this day in age. It's just something which should be standard on every game.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate. -
Huh? I'm pretty sure Intel and AMD started selling dual core chips in 2005. I would say they weren't the norm until a couple of years later.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

And from that far away, I'm assuming they're not doing a lot of damage.

Very possibly, but it would have been the single core one. The first Dual Core Athlon 64 came out in 2005.Originally posted by Oerdin View PostJon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

Athlon 64s have 64 processors. Hence the 64.
