I don't think it would be any surprise if they did- but that hardly qualifies as an announcement. Looks more like a placeholder.

Indeed, and with multiplayer too. After reading about all they gonna do for multiplayer in Europa Universalis 4 (a game that take ca 100 hours + to play from finish to end) it should prove that MP has a purpose for epic strategy games. Sales will show how people just loves it as well.

I hope when they do make GC 3 that it feels alive. I find I can't play any other space game since Distant Worlds. DW just feels so alive with all kinds of things going on. Plus the new expansion is awesome.

Lies! Everyone knows that 4X games are dead!

Not just 4X games, but PC gaming is completely dead ... and for that matter, the PC itself is dead!

PC gaming has died even more often than WoW has been killed.

PC been dying for quite long time. Guess it has a lot of necromancy-practicing supporters.

Funny Brad. The announcement for Galactic civilizations 3 has been announced ever since 2009. I thought the game was dead when Sins of a solar empire came out then I found the Ultimate edition, I pretty much dropped Sins after that. Right after Sins I tried Spore that was a mean joke someone played, or Pc gaming is really podunk. Someone was probably playing a mean joke asking about Galactic civilizations 3 right after you came out with Twilight of the arnor.

As for console gaming it doesn't make sense to me. If I Didn't have a computer then I might want some other medium, To begin with it is more flexible. you can do more than just play games even if you don't have the internet. This world thinks you can't use a computer without the internet. If you don't have good enough hardware you can make your computer better withowould ut buying a new one. You can always make he computer your way. The problem with computer gaming is software not hardware; unless, the computer users don't want better computers, so we shouldn't blame the computer when people don't want better machines. Lets really take a look at video game console prices. It's not that the consoles are superior to the computer. It's that the console people are willing to pay more for consoles than what computer users are willing to pay for computers. Not to mention technology is supposed to drive down prices on older hardware, so the new hardware relatively stay the same price that the old hardware used to be. This is basically true for the computer, but not for consoles prople are paying $500 for what they used to pay $56. While on the computers people are paying $300 when they used to pay $1100. If you noticed I took into account the change in technology. This is why computer gaming can't dye.

This is why Laptops and desktops are superior to other models. First I noticed that the Netbooks and Ultrabooks are underpowered and don't have Dvd players. The desktop is superior to any of that touch crap that they keep shoving at us. They keep scaling down the computer. While telling us that we would rather not be able to use our computers, so they don't crash. They are trying to turn computers into calculators, so they don't crash.

I wrote this not taking into account the official anounce ment of Galactic civilization.

Frogboy is joking I know.

I think it is kind of sad that programmers will make games for multiple gaming platforms, but not for computers. Or that game places will not sell games for the computer, or that the stores that will are currently shrinking down their sections People are saying the Xbox is better than the computer when in reality it is not after a year it has come out.

I Think that since the computer would be a better avenue for gaming considering it is all around a more flexible piece of technology. Even if a lot of people don't take advantage of its potential.
