I'm a big Civ fan, so I can't help but get a bit excited for this. I wasn't blown away by this overview, but there are definitely some interesting concepts in there, like simultaneous turn-taking. Release date: autumn 2024

heck yes! i will be playing this day one for sure! u?
I'm just trying to work out whether simultaneous turn-taking will result in me losing more or less of my life to this than I do to every new Civ game.
Civ V and VI have simultaneous turn-taking, so you should be able to get a good idea already! I'm unsure about prior Civs because I didn't really give them a shot.
Huh. I guess my memory is skewed by the earlier games and having a brick of a laptop when I played Civ 5. It was probably just processing all the AI moves.
I haven't actually heard of this until now but yes, yes I am.
Glad to be of service 🤣
Well, I hadn't heard of this but will certainly be giving it a go! I'm starting to get concerned that if I pay too much attention to Just About Video Games I will stop going outside...
Keeping an eye on it, I do hope it turns out good as it looks like it has potential.
The trailer from 5 months ago sold it to me better than this overview though. Some of the things they focussed on seem a bit of a nothing feature, like little clusters of animated wildlife on the map. I think what makes me sceptical is the game overview video seems to follow that Xbox presentation template style like the starfield deep dive video. It puts Starfield in my head and that didn't really work out.
Gameplay trailer, I think this sells it a lot better:
I agree; I wish they'd gone a bit deeper into the game features in the overview. I've just watched the trailer you shared, and it sure is pretty. I want to play already.
Yup I'm in
