What should Firaxis next big game be?

[General Ludd]

I think that was a broader "they" in reference to the crapy remakes...


Anyways, My vote goes for SMAC. I really liked that game and it's setting, and they could do alot with that. Colonization, on the other hand, is greatly over done now. You might aswell play 1603 AD, Europa Universalis, Conquest of the New World, Imperialism, ect...

Whooooops. Take my foot from out my mouth...well, Civ3 kinda sucked, anyway.

I think it is time for a new game. That can sink or swim on its own merit, not just by using the name of previous games.

Yeah, that would be nice aswell. Hard to vote for that though without knowing what the game might be.

I don't know, perhaps Firaxis should be put out to pasture.

X-COM.

They got the license and they spent so much time on it. Not to mention there is kinda a gap in the genre.

New TBS! Sid shines when he does something new.... he doesn't really seem to care when he does sequals.

I thought there was progress on the new X-COM game.

I wonder how that will apply to Pirates 2. Technically of course it's a sequel, but it's been so long (and technology has advanced so far) since the last game that is practically a brand new game.

If they are capable of making a good product, I would vote for SMAC2, but since I don't think they're capable, I voted the 'stop making games' option.

[DrSpike]

Well we might as well let them try and see.

[trickey]

A new TBS game, that way we won't have any expectations.

[Arcainite]

Firaxis' next game

I think Dinosaurs would be pretty cool also! I vote for that! And in second place for me would be Alpha Centauri 2!

a new game - somewhat along the lines of a "simnation" a cross between simcity and civ. Like a city builder, but on larger scale, with emphasis on politics, economics, society, and planning, with foreign policy and war taking more of an "offstage" role. More likely to be pausible RT than TB, but that wasnt an option.

Alternatively - how about another wargame? Could also be RT, like SMG.

AC2 would be good, but only if the production values are nice and high. I can't abide the 'graphics don't matter' posse.
