Is this game worth buying?

[Mao]

Well? I'm a fan of the Civiliation genre. Is this game like it? I want to hear from the actualy players. Anyone?

[MarkG]

are you joking?
we dont even know the official name yet!

[VetLegion]

I want to be sure about this
Civilization III and Dinosaurs are two separate games right? right?
...and they are working on both..yes?

[Mao]

Damn, got me confused now...

[St Leo]

Yes, they are working on both. Brian Reynolds is doing CivIII for Hasbro and Sid Meier is doing Dinosaurs for EA.:-)

Ahhh...good

Let them play with their little toys (dinos) as long as we get CivIII

[Mao]

Shouldn't it be the other way around? Sid Meier doing CivIII? Or both working together?

Yes we do:

Sid Meier's Dinosaurs!

[Karhgath]

If you've read the diaries carefully, they haven't decided a name yet, the tentative name is Sid Meier's Dinosaurs, but that's not the official name

[MarkG]

the press release clearly says that the official name will be announced early 2000

Brian Reynolds did civ2, and that's why he's doing civ3.

[VetLegion]

And Brian Reynolds designed SMAC, CivII, CivIII. A Hard working man.

I wouldn't call 1 game every 3 years hard working, especially considering what a step down SMAC was.

[VetLegion]

Step down??

SMAC was revolution itself and it opened door for further improvements in the genre (CTP). It is a step up, and a big one. And by "hardworking" I ment something else. After the original civ, what did sid meier do? I think brian reynolds should get more credits.

Didn't Sid work on Gettysburg and after that he started on his secret project which is Dinosaurs. But I agree that Brian Reynolds has been short changed... he designed civ2 and SMAC but both have Sid's name on it.

BTW I'd rather have 1 good quality game every three years from a company rather than 20 pieces of ****e every year. Look at Blizzard, they probably only average one game a year, but their games are good and well cooked.
