A few days ago, I saw in a post of MarkG this link: http://apolyton.net/dino/press.shtml.
I wasn't able to find a copy of it in Firaxis' website, but I'm assuming it's a genuine copy of Firaxis press release on the dino's game.
It's a short text, so go on and read it. The most important part on it is:"FIRAXIS has announced that Sid's "secret project" is a fun, deep, fast-moving strategy game about dinosaurs in the prehistoric world".
I think it clarifies many of our doubts. Specially in the topic "RTS or TBS?". Whatever it is, it'll be a fast moving game and TBS games like SMAC and the Civ series aren't fast moving for sure. It can be TBS, but it should be much different from Civ.
Another important quote is "deep [strategy game]". This also mean that the game will require lots of thinking, but anyway, Starcraft doesn't?
Waiting for ideas (and angry messages, right Imran?)
