Oh, good. 
Well, let's see. What has Sid Meier worked on...
Pirates. A remake of that maybe?
Railroad Tycoon. Already being worked on. Nothing new to announce, probably.
Civilization, in many different flavours (Civ1, WinCiv, CivNet, Civ2, etc..). I hope he is done with it. I love the concept and have played all of the games, but really, I don't think there is anything to improve without radically changing the gameplay, as Civ3 + PtW has shown clearly. (That is, they tried to change a lot of stuff, but in the end, while the game is good, many people were disappointed. I don't think the legacy will continue. Not this time around, any way, I don't think. Unless, they choose to go fully 3D on us, in which case that might be it...)
Colonization. Don't know how much to bet on that, but it would be sweeeet.
Magic: The Gathering. Meh. Don't think so. Not E3 scale.
Gettysburg and the Civil War Series. That may as well be it, but I didn't particularly like any of those games, so I'm hoping they would choose something else. 
Alpha Centaury. Would be nice, but like mentioned above, chances are slim.
Any other speculations?

Yeah its probably that x-com remake, or something in that series. They've had the license now for what, a year?

Don't see Sid Meier working on X-COM. Can't imagine that at all...

Well, I did a search of these forums, and here is what I found:
http://www.gamespy.com/articles/aug...ier/index.shtml
An interview with Sid at GenCon...
On the second page it says:
quote:
Sid Meier: Yes, we're looking at some of the older games and seeing what might look good.
GameSpy: Would that include your old stuff? Like Pirates, F-15 Strike Eagle, Gunship…
Sid Meier: … Silent Service, Red Storm Rising, Covert Ops. And we're looking at the other games as well.
GameSpy: Like Master of Magic and X-Com?
Sid Meier: Yes.
GameSpy: You realize Usenet is going to go nuts over that answer.
Sid Meier: We're not going to announce our next game until October or so.

I don't really think that is a sufficient identification of Sid's intent to do X-COM. Though now I can actually see him doing it, as opposed to before, when I thought such a thing would be impossible.
Another thing:
quote:
Sid Meier, in an recent CGMagazine interview, expressed interest about redoing XCom or Master of Magic... and made some cryptic remarks about Pirates!, whilst some petitioned him to make a sequel to Antietam!

Posted by DarkCloud. I searched for more on that on the net, but there doesn't seem to be any more info... Well, that's about it.

No, really, there is a new X-Com game in development, but I can't tell you if Sid and/or Firaxis are involved. |
If you are talking about the one that is covered in great detail by Gamespy, then no. Neither Sid nor Firaxis are involved in that. And plus, it has been announced a loooong time ago. Called UFO: Aftermath. Developed by some unknown (to me at least) Czech team.

Civ4 maybe? 
Or MoO4? It is Infogrames after all. Might wanna fix the mistakes of the third iteration by bringing in Sid. Either that or another SimGolf thingie.
