GamersGlobal has published a 5-page long interview with Sid Meier in which Sid talks about the upcoming Civilization Revolution, MMORPG, consoles versus PC, gaming industry trends, original IP, and more.

Here is an excerpt:

Quote:
righthttp://www.civfanatics.com/images/sidmeier_sm.jpg[/img]I have been told by your colleagues that Civilization Revolution will be highly portable because there’s a core gameplay engine, and the rest is eye candy and interface. It is as easy as that?

It actually is! We’re doing a DS version, and the gameplay is exactly the same as on the 360 and PS3. We do not like the idea of ports or outsourcing different versions to other developers. We want to safeguard our gameplay, we want to make sure that, with all the work we put into the gameplay, it carries over to the different platforms. So we have a game core that has all the game rules and the AI and everything. And that’s the same on all the systems. It’s just the graphics and the buttons that are different.

The last question asked in the interview is about Civilization V. From Sid’s response, it sounds like we may hear something about it later this year…

Thanks to Joerg Langer of GamersGlobal for the news tip!
