Hilariously the trailer is in perfect timing with The Final Countdown by Europe.

The would have earned so many bonus points if they released The Final Countdown music as the official trailer in the first place. It does work so very well.

Standalone by the looks

Though it’s built on the hex-based engine and structure of Civilization 5, Beyond Earth is not an expansion pack, but a full-fledged game that’s designed to be familiar to fans but also make fundamental changes to the way you play and win.

That's because the final countdown version is so much more epic guy should be hired for their marketing department.

In love civilisation and I love space so looking forward to this.

The vocals were in sync, but nothing else. Pretty keen to see more of this though, but hoping it does not go too far off the rails with sci-fi.
