warlord gandhi was never trustworthy, same like hindu saladin.

@@arthurheidt6373 wasn't salidin a muslim?

I've heard others say that too, but I don't understand why.

Same here. I guess the scene (and the cinematic in general), shows how even in the future, we still carry that distinct "human" trait that only our own history has given us.

TheRinzl2r I discussed this a little on /civ4xg/ and came to appreciate the role the priest plays in that scene. If anyone else had touched the glass one might have assumed they knew the cosmonaut on the other side. A priest is one of the few people you would assume doesn't personally know the cosmonaut yet might expect to see at the launch site. Two people who don't know one another sharing such an intimate moment in this context is admittedly powerful.

That's called autism.

+pentraksil Nice projection.

+porkbellyroast I just liked how it seems that everyone was working together for the Chosen without non-Chosen assholes rioting and shit like that

same, i love that scene for so many reasons. so subtle but full of meaning.

That happens with each launch to ISS from Russia. Priests bless the ship and touch hands threw the glass.

You can look on youtube for Russian priests blessing all the trips to ISS>

Same here ! Even though I’m an atheist

Unfortunately some wise guy thinks it means Sahn Yoon personally ordered me to execute Gabe Newell. Next they're going to investigate Hyun-Woo Sun for for reading too many documents about Gumbi.......... didn't know Chinese could work for Chungsu. Is Misook max farmed? Edit: this is magic for "apologies for losing control of NSA"

As a fellow parent, I agree.

Uhh..what? Just for turban? 😅

​@@DBT1007let the man appreciate the attention to detail

Thank you for this comment it made me smile

Years later, this is still the most memorable scene of the intro. Considering current circumstances: whether you’re religious or not - faith in humanity, our future, is becoming harder now than before as we seem to be getting closer and closer to the precipice of our own Great Mistake.

@@Tenuto40 literally searched for the video because of this scene

@@Tenuto40 nah that's nihilisim and thinking you have control over your life talking (you'd be surprised how little you actually have) talking the Human race will live on beyond us don't fret over our fate just live your life and be a decent human being faith or no

At 1:47 they intentionally and mockingly show you the Third-Eye-Pyramid. That should've been hint enough to tell what'll really happen to religious people and orthodox priest especially, in the case of the application of eugenics on humans, but sadly only a few will understand.

Truth is a matter of perspective

Kroposman 230 What truth? The absolute is universal, not subjective.

Ibos - Yet we percieve the truth differently. The truth is one, yes. But people's perspective on truth will decide whether they accept it or not. Knowing the truth is one thing, but accepting it is another matter entirely.

Kroposman 230 So what do you think is the truth?

its not amazing, it show all ignominy of industry and society. ****ing pops on launching platform is so disgusting! tfu

@@igor_grinder The whole point is that humanity is trying to find a future considering how doomed Earth seems. It is the combination of our ingenuity and our tech to save ourselves.

Eternal and new*

@@igor_grinder, yet, launch vehicles are also being blessed IRL.

Yer if we faced a disister where Earth was dying like this we would prob just fight over the scraps rather than work together

Thank God we have Interstellar for that...

I NEED MOAR! In all seriousness I've seen Interstellar at least 20 times

"Passengers" coming out this christmas HYPEEEE

holy shit i just noted this comment. HYPEE PASSENGERS!

AnAsian2010 *dad's

That'd actually be something I'd love to watch, andwith them having to deal with new foods and creatures? I would love that.

Isn't this effectively the plot of Interstellar?

I'm pretty sure that's the plot of Avatar. Except Civilization obviously has less morphism fuckery.

***** I'd count Starship Troopers too we meet a alien race, head to their planet and go MERICA on them lol.

Skwigelf100 And isn't just Pocahontas in Alpha Centauri.

Daughter? I always thought she was his wife!

I don’t have children yet but I imagine your whole universe becomes about them when you have them. I’d like to think in his shoes any father would be satisfied that his children had been given the chance to live on even if he was left behind.

I'm sorry for your loss

Ah, a fellow person of culture.

heh you can inquisition all of the planets native life just as easily playing as harmony than you can playing as supremacy. honestly the aliens in that game are so severely underpowered, late game units can just one shot all of them, and colossal aliens never seem to attack cities

I played Supremacy once. It felt evil. Like, pure evil. I could never play it again.

Your Purity salvation is at hand!

@@degus12345 I played it for the first time and only saw one colossal alien and it was for a quest... Also not one in game cinematic and kinda disappointed the world doesn't change as civilizations advance. It's basically just the graphic on a tile changes and no other systems in the game change as civilizations advance. I would think after 5 games prior and a triple A price tag with included expensive dlc content and the game is still below my expectations. It's a 2014 pc game... This feels like some playstation game from 20 years ago with modernized but still kinda old school graphics. The gameplay is really lacking for what it should be nowadays and with all their experience and ability to reskin concepts they already perfected in five games.

@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeep sadly I have to agree with you, this game could've been so much more

Agreed! Once I got over my "but it's not SMAC" irritation, this is a great game. I am not sure if I would think that w/o the soundtrack, though 😅. Between the soundtrack and the game really capturing the feel of exploring an alien place, this is a classic, imho.

bcause this game was too far ahead than its age, maybe. now, it's clear there.. our future is pessimistic. we keep growing in population. our 2050 not gonna be a golden era or something. overpopulation imbalance the global ecobalance. climate crisis becoming worse and worser now. clean freshwater becoming so scarce and yet, once we got big rain, it gonna be a big destructive rain that causing big flash flood. but sadly, we still dont have the tech to live on another planet. yet. even in 2100, we still dont have that tech yet.

@@DBT1007 Nah the game just wasn't that good gameplay wise. It had nothing to do with the setting.

@@XMysticHerox It was very heavily war-focused, which can be appealing to parts of the Civ community only.

Because the gameplay was just not fun. I've played through it a bunch of times, I really wanted to love this game. I absolutely adore the sci-fi setting, the overall aesthetics of the game, I think the soundtrack is one of the best video game soundtracks ever... BUT... the gameplay was severely lacking, the AI doesn't have a clue what it's doing, and after the initial fun of exploring the planet and settling new colonies, it just becomes a grind to reach the victory conditions. Beyond Earth *could* have been amazing, but in the end it felt like a low-effort space expansion for Civ 5, with a standalone price tag.

When the father watched his daughter leave earth with a smile?

Same here. Especially the "...we were chosen." and the violin afterwards.

Because this will be our future very soon...

Matthew Elwood Choked me up thinking about my daughter...

@@Matsmellwood This scene gets to me every time.

Yea I don’t get it lmao

I am Big Brain it’s Russian culture to sort of “christianify” various stuff. We do it with cars, guns (google it!), battleships and etc, the belief is that it protects the user and the object from bad luck

@@ee214verilogtutorial2 russia do that all the time with their rockets. probably that's why they fall so often :D

Absolutely agree XDDD

@Ygor K Just statistics. A lot of launches means a lot of accidents)

russia do that all the time with their rockets. probably that's why they fall so often :D

pff its not "powerful'. never was. it is ignominy of industry

@@Adam4ik3579 That explains why even Americans use them.

@@Adam4ik3579 What have you been smoking. The Russians operate the primary transport ships for the ISS and I've yet to hear news of any ISS astronauts dying on launch or reentry.

@@Adam4ik3579 But they don't lol

Sid Meier's Civilization Sacrifices are a pain-(Don't attack me, let me finish!)-but.....it was *all worth it....* ( ;_;)

It could be that you shed a tear for the things that are beautiful in a way that leaves you breathless, rather than something that is purely sad.

Why, he would gladly welcome her and her superior army and way of life in EVERY single way! And he will feel honored to have even seen a glimpse of the great Apostles and ANGELS of his daughter's army, and be grateful they came to put them out of their poor and pitiful way of life. SUPREMACY FOR ALL!

F

this is pretty neat.

Of you make this like a series or something, in will literally freak with excitement! So good, great job guys!

What happens to the old cinematic trailer? Will it still be in the game?

I really really hope that it will be not just "reskinned" Civilisation 5, but a complete rework with all those excellent abilities and unique gameplay, as it was in Alpha Centauri: Alien Crossfire, it was a Great Game.

PressHereToSeeMyTits It will be a "reskinned" Civilization 5, given that it uses the same engine. Whether that is good or bad remains to be seen.

First, Paul, I love you, man! Second, I would want to be stranded on an island with Europa Universalis IV. That game is awesome, and it has almost unlimited playability. I've spent around 300 hours in it just playing as individual states in The Holy Roman Empire.

TeamTurnover Prefer to play as the Byzantium. Nothing like snatching glory from the jaws of defeat and restore the western half of the empire.

Hey Paul, I've been excited about this game since February!! This game is gonna be so awesome!!

TeamTurnover Czech FTW!

if there was internet, i'll just download one game and delete it when im done tor redownload another one if it was really one game only, i'd pick dota 2 if i cant play online, but can download mods, i'd probably pick kerbal space program if no mod, no online, no patches, pure singleplayer only, i'd pick galciv 2/3

no, we see every factions

better from the whole lore of the game

Not possible. Its our Earth they just left, and no leaders are insane, war-mongering (except Brazil and the ARC), or evil in any way.

Sadly no nukes in beyond earth :(

Great analysis

competition is a good way to develop as a species

So is cooperation.

It also glosses over the shameless slaughtering of natives (humans were the aliens, not the miasma) and bulldozing the landscape that pushed humans to the edge in the first place. Sustainability and balance, which were the major themes, is not emphasized at all.

Томас Непотребко Just look at the history books.

The future babe. Also that's a problem but travelling through space is not?

ItsTheGreenBin Exactly. Travelling long distances is a much more down to Earth (sorry) problem than defeating the physics of entering the atmosphere head on.

***** Emergency manuevers?

TheRinzl2r Killing themselves won't solve the emergency you mention :P I'm taking it really seriously :) engineering.mit.edu/ask/why-don%E2%80%99t-spacecraft-burn-or-veer-course-during-reentry-space

Maybe in the future there are improved heat shields, and there is something wrong with the ship, so they can afford to risk a steep reentry.

Well put.. They could've done any group if they wanted. But it just happened to be a girl from the Protectorate. And that's fine....because she's human and just like everyone else in that cinematic..looking for a new home.

The Priest is from the Eastern Orthodox Church, yes. They did extensive research on what one looked like, cross and all. the pendant he's wearing portrays Saint Christopher, of Travelers.

Seeing where SpaceX is heading right now, this trailer isn't really far-fetched

I, for one, am more cynical. How long until we take our wars to our new homes? How long until we unleash weapons of mass destructions on a new earth? How long before we soak this "Terra Nova" red with blood?

Ivan Lee a very very very long time. Not even me or you will live to that day

Leonardo Mendez I rather not have my descendent conscripted and fight if he/she doesn't want to.

Ivan Lee you a philosopher or something?

i am still waiting for New Zealand to be added to Civ 5

Captain Ban With the power of sheep!

Captain Ban They're in BE, you know that, right?

but not in civ 5

+Jacob Valentin technically Polystralia is a fusion of SEA, Australia, and NZ. since the Wiki didn't mention Singapore, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam as part of it, i think Firaxis should clarify what happened to them (and why they didn't explicitly mention SEA if they did fuck up)

what are your current thoughts on the game? did you play it for more than one hundred hours?

Brahmin Herder You do know that radiation shielded glass exist ?

iniudan No, I didn't actually :C Guess I learned something new.

That is exactly the boat I am in. I just can't play Civilization responsibly. If they had an option to ban yourself from playing a Beyond Earth for a designated period of time like a few weeks or months then I would buy this in a second. As it stands now I can't buy it because I know I would abuse it.

haha get wrecked firaxis completely abandoned SMAC AND beyond earth to focus solely on civ 6 dlc

25% appreciation of the trailer

+WhoToTrus Wait wait did i actually find a intelligent atheist on the internet?! Stupid of me you are Russian my brother by blood of course you are smart :D

+Tojetaj Nikolic Well, Agnostic. But, Privyet Miya Brat.

WhoToTrus Насвегда братан, до конца так же ми Сербии са вами.

I feel the same way. I am agnostic but still wear the cross because it's a part of my culture. That's what I think is one of the most distinctive traits of the Slavs, the union of tradition and modernism. And I hope I too see a Slavic Federation in my lifetime.

Ты идиот и опозорил Россию

i Tought the same thing, drunken command mission management

HOLY SHIT, WE PAID THE LOWEST POSSIBLE BIDDERS AND IT DIDN'T BLOW UP ON IGNITION LIKE ALL THE OTHER ONES!!!

***** Jesus, dude

They're finally on their way

really? people call this game racist? what's wrong with them!?!?

Miguel Román I dont know. I think this game isn't racist in any direction but i would prefer if every faction has a Male and Female leader option...

lol white people aren't calling it racist. Nobody gives a shit, if anything, its black people who are always calling things racist when they really aren't.

RCDeltaFixer In the comments, some people are.

***** Wait, some anonymous fool on the Internet is calling something racist? I'm SHOCKED.

Hey, I mean, they bless AKM-74s/T-90s/MiG-29s too.

I didn't see any Russians on this trailer

The scene with the Orthodox priest depicted Russians

@@ST0AT nope, if you played the game, you'd know that the name you're looking for is Slavic Federation (which-according to the wiki entry, isn't even entirely Slavic, but consists most of Eastern Europe. Maybe what you're seeing there is a Greek priest blessing a Romanian astronaut before the takeoff from a Hungarian launching station)

@@AceOfClubsHUN Now you listen here you little shit!......
