I hope it's like the space layer in Call To Power!

Everything I've seen of this (and they did show a small amount of gameplay at PAX East) makes me think this will not be Civ 5ish or another Alpha Centauri.  AC was pretty grim, and that is not the tone of Civ games.  I'm very excited to see what they have come up with.  AFA dev time, keep in mind that Firaxis has at least two complete teams working on different projects at any given time.  I'm very optimistic we will see a solid game this fall.

Another good article here:
http://www.polygon.com/2014/4/12/5600008/civilization-beyond-earth-trailer-screenshots-announcement-sid-meier

And make no mistake, Sid has a hand in every game that comes out of Firaxis with his name on it.  If you never read or heard any interviews with Jake Solomon (XCOM designer) about how Sid interacts with the teams, they are worth looking up.

Interesting article, thanks Chris. It made me think- I would love to see a future Firaxis game called Sid Meier's Civilization: Return to Earth where those Alpha Centauri (or wherever) survivors return to Earth to find ? ? ?

Futurama rocks.  Actually, I think that quote is not from Head of Nixon, but Zap Brannigan.  Either way, it's one of my faves.

McDonough: I'm much more irreverent when it comes to Civ. My favorite Civ was Civilization Revolution, actually. There's a drama there and a speed there and a liveliness that the core Civ kind of lacks, and we're try to bring some of that into this project.

Uuuuhhhhggggg.  :(
