This opinion piece at Grab It dissects the recent announcement by Sid Meier's Firaxis that Civilization Revolution 2 will be a mobile exclusive, suggesting it is the end for the series on consoles.
LAS VEGAS -- Civilization is one of the gods of strategy games, where you oversee the creation of a whole society in competition with other civilizations. It debuted in 1991, and now at 25, it has become one of the cultural touchstones of the game industry, something that everyone recognizes or has played in the past.
Maybe I'm saying this because my PC is shit but I really would like a good console Civilization game on par with the PC ones.
Civilization Revolution wasn't half bad...just dumbed down a bit
Interesting stats, but they missed the most important ones- how many relationships were ruined? And how many jobs were lost?
I still remember the day my dad finally convinced me to go and peel the potatoes by turning off the power to the entire house.
I think I lost about 5 hours worth of game play that day.
Its official Civilization Revolution is Headed to The PS Vita!
Why the video show R2 button in the bottom right of the screen?.the game can hit vita,but this video look fake.
They're not showing the game, it's not even confirmed yet, how would VitaBoys get a hold of a gameplay video already. Looks like it might be the first CR, which was released on PS3. But why it shows "Civilization V" at the beginning is beyond me.. just a very confusing way of making a vid for a topic like this
To the two above, no... You obviously don't know what 'dead' means. As long as there are games coming out for a platform, it's alive. So, you're both quite wrong.
To be fair, there's still games coming out for Dreamcast. Vita isn't dead, but it's also not thriving.
Saw the title and knew that there would be a comment saying word for word what you said (not even joking).
Also, if a port of some strategy game is exciting news for the Vita you can safely say it's dead...
Screw it, you fanboy's can remain in denial, I'm done, nothing more frustrating than trying to be rational with the irrational, enjoy your annual Vita port.
It's dead when Sony says production of the console is discontinued and developers stop making games. Until then you're just being over dramatic. People have been saying it's dead for three years and yet I'm still seeing new consoles hitting shelves and new game releases.
Based on many posters around here if anything you're defining it as undead.

I suspect the answer is yes. I swear after the release of the first one I remember Firaxis saying that the series didn't work on console. Personally, I thought Civ Rev was great on my Xbox.
I have to be honest - it makes sense if this was the case. And, it actually wouldn't bother me. It'd be awesome to have a game and dev of this calibre on iOS exclusively.
I think these types of games are great on PC and they are a match made in heaven for mobile devices too. Console, maybe not the best platform for it
i thought civ rev was pretty good on ps3 i would buy another one.
i play civ on pc also. i actually prefer the pc ones but the console one was decent more relaxing.
strategy games are boring dont really care if they are on consoles are not
