Civilization Revolutions looks pretty good

Full story and tons of screens at VE3D:

But just look at this screen:



A) food/hammers and commerce. I bet there is a research/treasury slider, but there doesn't seem to be any commerce squares worked
B) Resources (sulfur)
C) Ability to micromanage worker production (see the R - Assign Workers)
D) Build unit/building



Proper attack/defense values and modifiers.



Unit veterancy upgrades!

Looking at the other screenshots, this actually looks to be a pretty decent translation to Civ on consoles. I wrote it off at the time it was announced-something about "tanks with hydraulics" bouncing like hoopty cars or dancing bears, but this looks really darn faithful to core Civilization mechanics.

Nice job Firaxis-this will make a killer PS3/360 online game if you really can sit down and play through a match with some friends in a reasonable amount of time (my main issue with Civ4 MP on the PC).

Someone is reaching for an excuse to get a console!

Nobody is going to play this on console, you won't find any online gaming here.

It'll take more than just a stripped down version of a game I've played tons (and still don't tire of) already to get my to buy into your console shenanigans.

I was just pointing out that the console version of the game actually looks somewhat authentic to core Civ gameplay, which was honestly more than I was expecting. Especially in MP, which in all honesty looks better than the multiplayer function shipped with the PC product (since the PC multiplayer takes FOREVER just to play a game).

If a turn-based PC strategy game with high system requirements can move one million units on the PC in today's day and age, I think that it might get more pickup on at least the 360-especially if the reviews are decent.
