will people play civ2 after civ4 comes out? Inflate your Upload Space

yes I asked a similar thread in civ3.

I'm just wondering how long this game can last. It has legs.

People are still playing it now, so I don't see any reason why that would change with Civ4. Unless Civ4 really is brilliant...

Then again, my computer probably won't be able to run Civ4 anyway, and I have no intention to upgrade my computer anytime soon. Certainly not just for Civ4.

I seem to remember this question being asked when Civ3 was imminent - the answer remains, "Oh, Yes!"

It depends how good Civ IV is.
If the multiplayer is good, many may switch.

But then that's for the multiplayer community anyway... There's still a vibrant creation community for Civ2 as well. And for that aspect it depends on how good the customisability of Civ4 is gonna be. Civ3 was a big disappointment there, but Civ4 is looking promising from what I've seen so far...

I'll still play it once every few months.

The game's graphics and modability are amazing... I have yet to see Civ II's Brilliance equaled in a TBS.

Civ IV looks more promising than Civ III, but Civ II will always be one of the few computer games I will continue to play and enjoy for many years to come.

Chess and Go have lasted a pretty long time. IMO Civ2 has what it takes to last quite a while, too. To me, Civ3 does not have the classical look or feel of Civ2 (I especially hate the cartoonish leader graphics). Don't know about Civ4 yet, but if it is just a complexification of Civ2, it will probably not pull me away.

I will ALWAYS play Civ2...I have Civ3, but I only played a couple of times...then back in the box it went. If I hear a lot of good things about Civ4, I may buy it, but to me, Civ2 is the best!
