PC games

Is the game going to come out for PC's. If not what is the best gaming system out there that the game will come out for? As I only have a PC now.

Bioshock? It's BEEN for PC since it came out. Unless you're talking about BioShock 2. But even then, I'm pretty sure it'll be made for PC too.

I am talking about Civilization Revolution. I have Civ, civ 2 civ 3 and civ 4. I need civ revolution. But, I do not think that I am going to purchase a new and different system for revolution because it seems to be something like civ 4.

You posted this thread in the wrong subforum, so I moved it for you. Please post topics in the relevant subforum.

To answer your question, the game has not been announced for the PC.

I checked around and Im sorry to say no I was hoping for that my self!
Anyway's It's your own decison on the console but if you like awesome graphics I would recommend PS3,For gameplay Xbox 360,and for portable gaming Ninetendo Ds Hope this helps!

Civilization Revolution is coming out only for Xbox 360, PS3, and DS. As for the best console, all three have identical gameplay and online features. The 360 and PS3 look identical, but the DS is 2D graphically. Otherwise, they are all the same.

Like Elizabeth said, it's the same game on all three systems. If you don't want to buy a system, then you won't play CivRev.

For myself, I've got a DS. CivRev = Civ anywhere!

If you'd like a little more of an explanation about this, I recently had this same conversation with MTV:

“This is not a PC game,” said producer Jason Bergman to Multiplayer. “It’s been designed as a console game. It’s very, very different from ‘Civ[ilization] 4′ and we don’t want it to be looked at as ‘Civ[ilization] 5.’ We don’t want people to think that this is meant to replace the existing ‘Civ’ games. This is a totally different game, created exclusively for consoles. It is never coming to PC.”

And it’s not because Firaxis don’t have the manpower or technical hang-ups. The prototype for “Civilization Revolution” originated on the PC, but the interface was created from day one to be manipulated with a gamepad in the player’s hands. “There was never a mouse interface; it was always designed around a controller,” continued Bergman.

Last week, 2K showed “Civilization Revolution” to the San Francisco-based media (we had a separate demo a few days later at 2K’s offices). Bergman said a common question was over enabling keyboard and mouse support in the PlayStation 3 version. Microsoft doesn’t allow the feature, but Sony’s had no problem with it; look at “Unreal Tournament 3,” for example.

Bergman’s rationale is simple. “…the answer is no, because why would you need to? The game has not been designed for that [controller]; we would have to make a new interface for that. People sort of assume it’s the other way around, like it is with the PC RTSs that are ported. This is not a port, this is an entirely new game.”
