According to two registered trademarks, EA could be planning a new game for the Alpha Centauri franchise.
The cult turn-based strategy series hasn't seen a new game since Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri was released for the PC in 1999. In 2009 the EA owned trademark expired, but these newly registered trademarks by EA have sparked speculation from fans that a new title is expected to be announced soon.
This is a nice collection of classic. EA has opened its vaults and released a series of classic PC games to Steam for the first time ever.
f you haven't already, consider getting 8-Bit Armies or the new 9-Bit Armies. They're made by some of the same folks from the older C&C, with very similar mechanics; it's just the aesthetics that are completely different.
C&C Red Alert 3 and The Saboteur were two different yet completely unforgettable games to me from a better era of EA.
Elessar comes up for air from playing the new Civ game long enough to review it.
We're well into the first week of August, and the summer's hottest days could be just ahead. There's still a debate being waged over climate change policies proposed to help curb its effects, but in some video game that debate is over and the effects of climate change lead to a bleak future. We speak to Dr. David Robinson, New Jersey State Climatologist and Professor in the Department of Geography at Rutgers University, to find out if these video games' vision of a post climate change future holds more fact or fiction.
Wow. This is an incredible read.
I will be voting up the article and the site. Thank you for submitting this!
Well written, thought provoking and intelligent. Great job to Steven Wong.
Alpha Centauri was a good game - Civilization in Space. The only thing in my opinion that destroyed the gameplay was when after the factions discovered the tech to create off-shore cities...I hope they won't do that again.
Somehow i can see them making it casual friendly. Cartoony graphics with 'cute' and 'funny' races.
I remember this game! Hopefully they don't butcher it into a completely different game.
Yeah, an Alpha Centauri game without Sid Meier, how exciting... I hope they don't ruin it like they ruined the CnC franchise after letting go most of the staff from WWS.
I think it would be great to see a new Alpha Centauri game for the PC. I also would enjoy a Vita version too. Because I think the touch screen could work well for the game.
