Although it does have narrative elements, and certain signature aspects of Alpha Centauri have crept in, Beyond Earth is very much its own game.

That said, if I had come to Beyond Earth looking for a direct sequel or a modern update to the 1999 game, I would have been wildly disappointed. Online multiplayer on console requires Xbox subscription (sold separately). I was taken in by the living world aspect and the deep narrative with elements pulled from science fiction of the day. As with Civilization V before it, Beyond Earth looks like it's becoming all it can be as it evolves with these upgrades. I played Alpha Centauri extensively during a long Late Winter in San Francisco. Firaxis has since regained many IPs from now-defunct Microprose, but due to the vagaries of the game business, Alpha Centauri resides with its publisher, EA. One of the first games developed by Firaxis following its founders departure from Microprose, Alpha Centauri had the benefit of the expertise of Civilization Creator Sid Meier, but without the Civilization IP.
Its impossible to play Beyond Earth without comparing it to the 'other' Civ-in-space game, Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri.
