how do you go from civ 5 to this iphone app looking game

 

[Tagg9]

I'm not being funny, but it looks exactly like Civ V to me.

 

[Rentahamster]

Looks neat.

 

[Rixa]

Looks really good. Where are these pics taken (url)?
I guess its time to upgrade my laptop to new when CIV 6 releases.

Edit: Thanks @Spiritfox

 

[BreezyLimbo]

The fog of war effect is reaaaallly nice. Like burnt parchment. I like it.

Do we know what leaders are in the game?

I cannot emphasize enough how much I love that fog of war.

The only leader I've seen so far is Teddy Roosevelt for the U.S.

Do we know anything about what actual civs will be playable? I haven't been able to find this info anywhere (other than some details on USA).

So far we only know China, Egypt, and America from the gameplay reveal recently.

 

[Durante]

Looks great particularly in the first shot, which is closer to the distance I actually play these games at.

Ah OK. I hope they put in some interesting new Civs in the base game.

 

[NumberThree]

Yeah that fog of war is really nice. And the game looks great otherwise too at the zoom level you'd actually play the game at.

[stoff]

Love the colours, but I agree that the forests need to be denser, as they create too much visual noice atm and destroy the map's readability.

Can't wait to play it. De-stacking the Cities sounds like such a great idea.

 

[Sinatar]

Still not big on how it looks zoomed in, but zoomed way out (which is how it's going to mostly be played) it looks fine.

 

[Disxo]

You played civ v? This looks way more complex and at the same time simplistic

 

[Tworak]

still looks terrible. the artsy direction seems to be trying to be blizzard and failing hard in the process.

 

[Luigi87]

Screens look better than the previous batch, though maybe it helps that I knew what the art style would be? Either way it looks quite good.

*dead @ Holy City for † Greatism*

 

[bathsalts]

There's no screens with unit icons, hex grid or the like turned on is there? I do like the unrevealed map, rest is unoffensive, graphics is at the bottom of priorities in a Civilization game anyway.

 

[tiebreaker]

Not digging the art style. Zoomed out looks a bit better.

 

[LuuKyK]

suck it, "this looks like a crappy mobile game" haters.

It definitely doesn't look like a mobile game but it also doesn't differentiate itself too much from the early entries of the series. The game needs a big change graphically imo. It just looks like they keep releasing expansions of the same game instead of a sequel at this point.

 

[tcrunch]

I like it, aside from the plants in the zoomed in version.

 

[MrJoobJoob]

This doesn't look like a graphically demanding game, so hopefully one day they port it to consoles.

 

[Pineapple]

Civ V actually looks far cleaner when the camera is pulled back. It's easier to identify cities and landscapes. In the Civ VI image, everything seems to kind of just blend together.

 

[Carl7]

Looks much better.

 

[MK_768]

I mean it doesn't look like a mobile game. People saying that are just trying to hard to shit on the graphics. It definitely doesn't look as realistic(?) as Civ 5 but it does look nice. It looks different and that's not a bad thing.

The mountains bother me. That's it lol. I love the fog of war stuff though

 

[jon bones]

loving that art style - can't wait!

 

[Disxo]

They just keep improving the formula which in some ways doesnt consider the graphical improvements as much as some other games.

 

[BitStyle]

I like the style. Hoping it looks good in motion

 

[JoeMartin]

I agree. Looks to be the forest's fault. Where cities distinguish themselves by individual, distinct buildings, they've too given that characteristic to the trees in 6; makes the whole scene look too busy, to be honest. Edit: Also good lord over-saturation. Not a fan.

 

[mclem]

Love the visual design of the Fog of War, there. Wonder if that gets updated as technology increases.

 

[KojiKnight]

Not a fan of how the units look, but I'll forget about it about 6 hours into my first play through.

 

[Transistor]

It can be ASCII graphics and I'll buy it because it's fucking Civ

 

[stoff]

We already got to see it in motion:

[NoblesseOblige]

I think it looks great, an in actual motion the 'cartoony' part seems to dissipate.

 

[ZombiePlatypus]

I'm in.

 

[Omikaru]

I had some misgivings about the visuals, but this puts my mind at ease. I love the fog of war.

 

[AnathemicOne]

Going to reiterate as many have done in this thread: that fog of war is fucking sexy

 

[Aureon]

Civ V actually looks far cleaner when the camera is pulled back. It's easier to identify cities and landscapes. In the Civ VI image, everything seems to kind of just blend together.

The camera angle is different - the Civ VI screenshots has far more tiles in it due to that, so obviously it's less clear. Tiles are much smaller, especially in the back of the screen.

 

[littlebigman]

As soon as this comes to OSX, I'm down. Civ has always been the only RTS series I legitimately enjoy.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

suck it, "this looks like a crappy mobile game" haters.

The tree models still look mobile game quality. They look awful and I can't tell if they are the only things holding the look back for me. I love the cloth map aesthetic they're going for and most everything else I think.

Maybe it has to grow on me, but I think I really prefer Civ V's aesthetics. Still, can't wait to see what VI brings to the table.

 

[Anno]

I love that the fog-of-war just looks like a blank parchment map until you see an area for the first time. Then when you move your vision away the map is filled in with the pencil drawings of trees or water or mountains as if your scouts were drawing it as they explored the wilderness. It's an awesome choice of art design.

!!!

 

[Steel]

I'm not being funny, but it looks exactly like Civ V to me.

It looks different, but not "6 years between release" better. It's more like a sidegrade.

Mind you, I don't really care that much about how it looks. I'm just wary after BE.

 

[Shepard]

I'll buy because it's Civ, but V craps all over this new style. Even Rising tide looks a lot better (shitty UI aside).

 

[Nzyme32]

Definitely happy with how Civ VI is looking thus far

 

[LuuKyK]

!!!

lol Falk.

I obviously mean the more recent ones, as in Civ IV and V.

Edit: I did say early entries. Oops. My bad.

 

[Falk]

Not gonna lie, I have a craving for the simplicity/brokenness of Civ 1 but I really can't stand the awfully-sluggish-by-today's-standards UI, even of the Windows version.

 

[Carl2291]

Man, I'm gonna play the shit out of this game.
