New CIV III Q&A with Jeff Briggs

[chief]

Hey civers,

While eagerly awaiting the release of CIV III in Perth, Western Australia, I found this interview from a link on Wireplay. Hope you enjoy this Question and Answer transcript with Jeff Briggs as much as I did!

CIV III Q&A with Jeff Briggs

keep on civing!

[chief]

'confirmed' once again - NO DEMO

it's pretty sad replying to my own post, i know

BUT

i forgot to mention that in the interview it is confirmed by Jeff Briggs that there are no plans to release a demo.

*sigh* i was still clinging on to that last piece of a post-release demo

A very disappointing Q&A. The Questions were asked, but the Answers were very thin.

I think we delivered to fans what they were hoping for in Civ III.

[B]ut we're working on some cool multiplayer concepts that will take a new approach to the challenge of making multiplayer for a turn-based game fun. Once we have more details to report we’ll let you know.

That is a publisher decision, so we’ll have to wait and see.

All very "diplomatic"
