The earliest games were only developed for computers. These were two-dimensional games with no real fun for the user. As the gaming industry started picking pace, many companies entered into the competition of video games. The competition amongst these companies got stiffer and demand for better user experience and graphics kept increasing. Computers were built mainly for doing complex calculations. Therefore, companies with dedicated devices for the gaming industry came into being. This new industry was called the gaming console industry. Different companies from North America, Japan, and even some other countries jumped into the race of building better gaming consoles for the users, like Nintendo, Play Station, and others.
Companies in the gaming industry kept going on with better hardware and software which resulted in more attractive and user-friendly games. These games always provided a better experience to the users than their predecessors. Game-making companies earlier didn’t care much for the users with older hardware. Now companies try to make games that have options to compensate user experience in order to run on older hardware as well. The development of the gaming industry has been so huge that now companies in the business are contributing billions of dollars to the GDP.
The game is also featured with AI. Four of the levels of the game that will be controllable through AI are; Tactical, Operational, Strategic, and Grand Strategic. The leaders leading the AI effort will have different sets of personalities. Each will have some strengths and weaknesses that would have a slight variation with each new game.
A newer twist has been added to win the game. You will have to complete the Utopia project to claim victory. To reach the Utopia project, you will have to complete a number of six social policy trees to start the project.
The final release date of the game has not yet been confirmed, albeit 2K Games is determined to release the game in September 2010. The current version of the game is for the Windows platform, although some are anticipating a Mac OS release as well.
Trends have moved even faster in the gaming industry since the online revolution took place. The first games were developed for computers and later they were developed for the gaming consoles especially dedicated to the purpose of gaming. New software engineers are making excellent games for handheld devices as well as iPhone, Android Phones, and other palmtops. Gaming technology is changing and the way things are shaping, modern games seem to excel their earlier versions by far in terms of playing experience and level of enjoyment.
