I was about to say, "hope they don't make it too retarded for the consoles." But, then found out (through the wonderful commenter's here) that it won't be coming out on PC, which makes me somewhat happy, but kind of sad. Oh, well least I got Civ4 still.

Apparently Jason Schwartzman was the inspiration for their eyebrow model.

Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, Napoleon, Genghis Khan, and Lincoln. Again. Way to shake it up, 2K.

Apparently there is no hotseat multiplayer. A real shame IMHO, as part of the point of consoles is to hang out with a buddy or three drinking beer.

Cleopatra looks horrible caricature of that Thandie Newton (The girl in Mission Impossible 2 and Chronicles of Riddick). Apparently the Egyptian queen also doubled as a lady of the night or something.

Should be a nice game though.

I am very glad that we are getting some slower paced multiplayer games on the consoles. While I enjoy running around shooting everything that moves, it is nice to get games like this to help counter-balance the mayhem.

Now instead of just shooting my friends, I can also break treaties with them and invade their lands. ^_^

Ah ok thanks guys. It does look kind of stupid graphics and content-wise, but I just really like the civilisation-specific units and army formation and stuff... I'd like that on Civ IV.

@Conor M: Console exclusive, entirely. Been stated it's never going to be on PC. Take that with a grain of salt though.

They best add Cyrus/Persia to the website. I've seen screenshots of that Civ previously in the game and I won't buy it if it lacks my favourite units and culture now all of a sudden.

@Conor M:

It's console only. Civ 5 will be on the PC.

Also...

"CR is the first of the Civ franchise to be presented on home consoles and it sports some fancy new graphics,"

Please, stop. Civ and Civ 2 were on consoles!!!

I will probably have to buy it. I'm like Mel Gibson's character in "Conspiracy Theory". I have to buy Civilization like he has to buy Catcher In The Rye. I'll probably own both the Xbox 360 and DS versions. Shit, I don't own a PS3 and I can see myself buying the that version too! =p

I'm a bit confused, is this completely console-exclusive, or is it also coming out as some sort of expansion to Civ IV?

I'm a bit confused, is this just being released on consoles? Or will it be released as an expansion pack to Civ IV on Windows too?

May I submit Exhibit A in the case of this not being the first console version?

Thank you, your honours.

Couldn't find a box shot of the Amiga version, though.

I'm not sold entirely on a Civ for consoles but my love is so great I'll probably buy it anyway.

I guess I'm going to have to dig up my copy of the first Civilization. It's funny how games of Civilization only take like half an hour now because everything happens so fast on newer computers.
