<strong>[ Game -> Interview ]</strong>
<a href="http://planetcivilization.gamespy.com">PlanetCivilization</a> has posted an interview they did recently with Soren Johnson from <a href="http://www.firaxis">Firaxis</a>, who worked on the superduper <a href="http://www.civilization4.com">Civilization 4.</a>
Here's an interesting bit:
<blockquote>Can you tell me anything about Sid's next project?
Soren Johnson (Firaxis):
We have a bunch of games in the making. We were just acquired by Take2, and that's opened up some extra resources for us. <b>Sid has been open about the fact that he has been taking a look at the next generation of consoles. Coming back to the complexity issue, the console games are becoming a little more ambitious, so Sid is becoming interested. I of course can't talk about anything specific now. </b>
We're also looking into some older pieces of IP that Sid has, that people were fans of in the past and that we might re-develop in the future. We're also talking about some brand new original PC strategy games that are fresh. We're probably going to be developing a couple of these at the time. Should be an exciting time for Firaxis.
</blockquote>
Coming soon - Alpha Centauri: Ghost.
Fucking consoles.
