October's game of the month ships next week.

 

[Kon Tiki]

Why do they do this? Why don't they ship during the holidays? Why must they ruin lives?

 

[commish]

I've already quit my job.

[Acosta]

Good thing my job is about videogames...

... but not about only one!

Sid Meier hates us.

 

[Bregor]

w00t!

Already pre-ordered.

 

[Xellotah]

Looking forward to it ... Hope it works on my humble PC.

 

[Spruce Moose]

Me too. Mine can barely run FEAR, and doesn't meet the specs for Quake 4.

Not that I care about those games, it's just the sad state of my PC that bugs me. It should be able to run this though.

I hope.

 

[Tim the Wiz]

Oh shit! There goes any hope of doing actual work this month.

Damn...did that sneak up on anyone else, because I didn't even realise it was out in October...

 

[Unison]

I've preordered the LE from Gamestop. Can't wait!

I've found the software requirements here

Sh1t my machine only just beats the minimum requirements ...

 

[SpoonyBard]

My CPU is little faster than the minimum 1 GHz, but somehow I don't think it's enough for the larger maps

 

[siege]

# Windows 2000/XP with SP1 or higher
# Intel Pentium 4- or AMD Athlon CPU with at least 1,2 GHz

[Spruce Moose]

Wow, that's pretty forgiving. Cool.

My old beast should handle this no problem.

Unless they're fudging the specs.

 

[Rayven]

got fired from firaxis last week. they suck...but the game is a lot of fun.

 

[Kung Fu Jedi]

The biggest time sink in gaming is about to hit stores. I love this game. I hate this game! Civ4 looks great, but I might as well say goodbye to my friends and family if I pick this up.

 

[Doube D]

ah, welcome to the greatest video game series of all time. Civ 4 >>>>> all else (console and pc). Nothing else can compare, nothing. can't wait.

 

[jakershaker]

Sweet gaming ahead!

that's me. i went to school for animation, but ended up on the marketing/web team at firaxis.

 

[Bigfonzie]

[DEO3]

Ahh, that's cool. Hope you find work elsewhere. Good to hear you think the game came out well.

 

[Yossarian]

Where can I find out if my laptop's vid card will work? Its nothing fancy...

 

[Victrix]

Hot. Buzz is pretty positive about this from the diehard civ fans.

And don't look for an AC sequel, Brian Reynolds is off doing Rise of Legends (and that's no bad thing)

yep. and besides, 2K would have to purchase the IP for firaxis to develop (EA still has it).

What is firaxis doing on DS?

 

[Blackace]

You speak the truth. While I had a bit of fun with Civ 3, it was no where as good as Civ 2 was.. imo.. This looks promising but I really hope the computer doesn't make cities every 3 spaces again..

 

[foxhunt99]

Preordered mine on amazon with Age of empire 3 already.

 

[NetMapel]

This is a cool website that will actually test to see if your computer can run certain games. Install the harmless ActiveX and proceed !

Just out of curiosity, why did they let you go... time don’t seem to be bad at Firaxis?

And on a happy note, Civ 4 going GOLD is the best news I have had all month! I can't wait till my preorder gets in.

Bah, all you bastards are just happy to be getting your crack shipments ... fuck how I wish I didn't have a degree to finish.
