  • Giant. Death. Robot.

    2K publishes titles in today's most popular gaming genres, including shooters, action, role-playing, strategy, sports, casual, and family entertainment.




    Biggest Baddest Unit in Civilization V

    The time has come, Civilization V fans, to reveal to you the biggest, baddest, most awesome unit in Civilization V:

    Giant. Death. Robot.

    I'll let the Civilopedia do the talking:

    The "Giant Death Robot" is a giant bipedal mechanical robot armed with a variety of missiles, Gatling gun arms, laser-beam eyes and a deadly kung-fu punch. Although not currently found in the modern battlefield, no doubt across the world governments and evil corporations are secretly developing these metal behemoths even as we speak. When these robots come into service, all of the world's other weaponry will become obsolete, and humanity's fate will be decided by a climactic battle between armies of good and evil Giant Death Robots in the streets of downtown Tokyo (assuming that the giant radioactive monsters don't get us first.)

    How about some unit stats?


    Combat Strength: 150
    Movement: 3
    Required Resource: Uranium
    Required Tech: Nuclear Fusion
    Penalty Attacking Cities
    No Defensive Bonuses
    Can Move After Attacking

    Yeah. I thought you might like that.

    Boo. Giant robot walkers will never exist for military applications. They're not practical. Tanks are far superior for a number of reasons.

      Jesus ****ing Christ, what a TERRIBLE ****ing idea.

      Seriously. What the ****ing **** is going on over there at Firaxis? Did 2K mandate lobotomies for all staff members?

      What the ****?!

        But this is just for special scenarios, not the normal game, right?

        Right?

          at the description like it's some cool awesome thing that people have been either salivating over the possibility of having or will look at it and be like "OMG! AWESOME! Why didn't I think of that?!"

          Yeah. I thought you might like that.


          Oh well. I probably wasn't going to play Civ5 anyway. Never played Civ4. Civ5 doesn't seem like it's going to be that good of a game.

              Here's what I want, Giant Death Robots, I don't care what they have to do to get them into the game, but there must be giant death robots. And there must be a wide variety of giant death robots, there should be plasma cannon wielding giant death robots. Ones that just pound things with their...

                  And precisely when will low-gravity arrive on Earth, pray tell?



                  Al: Civ4 is, truly truly, the greatest strategy game ever made, bar none. I do not grant that title lightly.

                  I have... reservations about Civ5.

                        Of course HC would love this. And it would be Perfection that pitched the idea to Firaxis back in 2004!

                        BAN PERFECTION!!!

                              Yeah. It's going to be in Civ 5 thanks to you. So what?
