/civ4xg/ - Civilization and 4x general

It looks so bright, I thought they're gonna go with EL artstyle.

But that's okay. It's a lot better than ugly dark-as-my-soul BE graphics.

>Civ V complete edition 75% off
Should i buy it? i never played it online

>Civilization VI
Is that real?

surprsingly good online with not-inbreds

make sure to play 'simultaneous'

Just go open steam and see they will offer you to pre-order it.

I really hope it's not how game going to look at the end
I looks like some random f2p shit

Why does it look like a facebook game?
Is it made by the same interns who failed with BERT?
Why does it look like it's made for 6 year olds?

Also, essential mods improve the base game by a huge margin.

Bumping because we've been waiting for this to revive this general, for better or for worse

Start talking about it you fags, don't let this bin

>This art style

Oh my god it looks like Godus, that failed Peter Molyneux tablet project...
Oh boy

I would've been fine to returning to a Civ 4 cartoony style but this is too much

How much do you want to bet they're going to push a tablet version

It just looks real weird. The models are higher detail, but then the color palete, though nice, looks weird with the detail.

Dude, Civ 4 nailed the cartoony look. This just looks like that F2P Age of Empires reboot

Granted, I don't want to judge it too much by its looks. Civ is about the gameplay, not so much the visuals

It almost always boils down to the tabletop aspect of looking at the strategic view anyway

HERE'S TO HOPING IT DOESN'T NEED 2 EXPANSIONS TO BE GOOD

>Only 4 people in unit
>That gay ass mobile visuals
Pls tell me this not going to be dumped down civ for casuals and consoles plebs

>HERE'S TO HOPING IT DOESN'T NEED 2 EXPANSIONS TO BE GOOD
It's good to see you still have some innocence left. Of course it will.

>HERE'S TO HOPING IT DOESN'T NEED 2 EXPANSIONS TO BE GOOD
It's fucking Firaxis, user.

Why would they downgrade so hard from semi-realism to downright flat lighting, flat textures, and flat color palettes?

I'm scared they're going exactly for that "friendly" look to appeal to casuals and plebs and not intimidate them, like you said

In Firaxis' defense, XCOM 2 was great and it doesn't even have expansions yet

I can't, because you're loosing you shit over simple visuals when we have no idea about mechanics.

Seriously, why is everyone loosing their shit of graphics when shit like combined arms and multi-tile cities have been confirmed.

Because if I'm going to be looking at a game for over 1000 hours, I better like the way it fucking looks mang.

I don't like how this looks

That might sound like shallow criticism, and it is, but I think it's a valid nitpick. It's like if whenever you wanted to play chess the board and pieces looked cringy and awful and you couldn't get another set

The only thing we can judge now is visuals

And it looks like casual f2p game from facebook and people afraid we going to get one of it but for 60$

>seriously, why is everyone loosing their shit of graphics
Because it's literally almost all that has been revealed at this point. Pictures are more solid than the names of a few mechanics and concepts.

So which Civ V introduced civs are NEVER EVER coming back? I'm gonna bet Shoshone.

Just saw the Civ 6 trailer. God damn I'm hype. I'm already going to prepurchase it tonight and I seriously fucking hope it doesn't end up like BE.

The graphics just scream "WE WANT THE CASUAL AUDIENCE" and "LOOK OUR GAME IS JUST LIKE CLASH OF CLANS PLS BUY"

OH FUCK, WE'RE BACK IN BUSINESS

The game is being developed by the same Firaxis teams that developed the expansions on Civilization V, and it is expected that most of the new mechanics introduced in these will be present in Civilization VI at its launch. The game is being developed with a new engine that is expected to be more friendly to modification.[5] The game's visuals and tools featured were inspired by the Age of Exploration.[6]
What's Age of Exploration?

>already going to prepurchase it tonight
Jesus Christ user, why? They've shown fuck all so far other than three mobile-tier screenshots and a high price tag.

I have a Civ problem

GODDAMN CASUALS AND NORMIES RUINING EVERYTHING

The trailer was kind of mediocre though user
It was just some Scottish guy talking over historic footage, and the monologue felt a little too forced

It'll take more than that to get me hyped

Is the trailer voice going to be the narrator? I don't like it. It reminds me of those shitty ads you hear on British tv channels.

strawpoll.me/10185109/

...

Screenshots look like theyre from a smartphone game. Maybe youll pay for microtransactions too?

>new narrator
Wh-what happened to the old one?

Holy shit you guys are back
It looks like a mobile game, I have nothing against cartoony shit.

Thanks

>Civilization 6 is already on the top sellers on Steam

WHAT

THEY HAVEN'T EVEN SAID FUCK-ALL AND THE GAME COMES OUT IN LIKE FIVE MONTHS

THIS FUCKING PRE-ORDER CULTURE IS OUT OF CONTROL, JESUS CHRIST

Are people seriously THIS anxious to part with their cash nowadays? Holy shit

Is "buyer beware" not a thing anymore?

>Scottish

From where did you get that poll?

It's from reddit, google the poll.

William Morgan Sheppard is a bit old, plus why would they use him for a new game?

The graphics are awesome. Civ V was terrible about visual hierarchy. The landscape, terrain, resources and units aren't immediately distinguishable at a glance. The muted color scheme makes things blend together a bit more, because most of the colors were similar in tone and brightness. This new style makes everything a bit more distinct and 'pop' more.

To demonstrate my point, I removed the color from a Civ V and Civ VI screenshot. I think Civ VI holds up better because of the more geometric lines and more dynamic use of brightness, whereas Civ V becomes a bit muddled.

The only thing that looks bad are the mountains. Everything else looks nice.

fucking disgusting

firaxis should be ashamed of themselves

just fucking fired the civ art team and replace it with the art team from xcom 2.

Well at least it seems that wonders are fuckhuge which is cool.
Ain't the map going to be too crowded though?

>The visual presentation of the game is inspired by the maps and tools of the Age of Exploration
OK, now I get it. I thought AoE stood for a game or something.

Though I'm not seeing similarities at all, mate.

Civ is fucking dead.

Fuck all of you Vfag.

IV is the last good Civ.

Look at what you done you retards.

You support casualization and mass DLC.

Now you get what your just desert.

Fuck V and fuck firaxshit.

Mountains and trees need to go and I'd love it if the rivers looked nicer, grass looks flat as fuck but I guess that's what they were going for. The rest looks alright, although the units are weird. Why are they only four of them and why do they look like plastic?

I still much prefer the detail in the Civ 5 screenshot user.
When I want precise information to tell at a glance where everything is, I use the strategic view to see it as a board game. When I want eye candy, I play normally

With the new Civ, they're not even giving you that option anymore. It's simplifying for simplification's sake

I can just hope this is not a design trend

>check the archive
>this general has been dead for months
Wow. What happened? Just a lack of games?

they're not even zoomed to the same angle and extent you stupid mongoloid

null comparison

>and mass DLC
Are you forgetting the fact that Civ IV was a broken mess before Beyond the Sword fixed everything?
Of course you are.

>loose
i swear people are doing this on purpose at this point

Civ VI's buildings and units are okay but the terrain in general looks like shit, like OK the water is pretty and nice cliffs but the grass, the tiny little pinecones from HoMMVII or some shit, and holy fuck the mountains and rivers.

Remember when BE says they don't understand what makes AC so A.E.S.T.H.E.T.I.C.A.L.L.Y. pleasing?

The current team is filled with neckbeards without style.

Heck even IV with their spocks and baba yetu are more pleasing design-wise than the shittain that is V.

VI looks like shitty mobile EC crap.

are we calling it cix?

>mass
That's the key point retard.

IV doesn't have the stupid fucking amount of random shitty unimportant Civ DLC just so they could pander to normie.

>mfw Australia or New Zaeland will be in the game.

Reddit already fix it

V-babies are casual and normies. What do you think?

>mfw that actually looks a lot better

Didn't that only happen with vanilla til that one guy got sacked/left and the practice pretty much stopped?

...That's actually not a half bad idea

+1 vote for Cix.

Meant for and I forgot my face to boot.

it looks the same kind of shitty, just made to look dark-as-my-soul
fuck, design is dead

I can't wait

this

Why does Atlas always carry the world on his back? It's supposed to be the fucking sky, not the world.
>Aphrodite is supposed to be MILF as fuck compared to the Olympians
>every time she sluts around she's technically /ss/ing
I didn't say it looked good, but it definitely looks better.
Lmao what the fuck is that
unironically would play, those girls are qt

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

maybe he's doing a handstand and holding the sky with his feet, ever thought of that?

No, because he's not a big enough guy to hug the world.

unf unf

>That art style
Sid Meier rolling in his grave

Sid Meier is alive and likes cartoon graphics

The one on the far left looks like some deviantart-tier shit.

(you) (you) (you) (you)

No seriously what the fuck is it supposed to be

for you

I don't really mind how it looks desu

5 with both expansions is pretty good, calm down you retard, its not like a new title being released somehow prevents you from playing an earlier one

cix does look like a tablet game though, which bothers me quite a bit

>ten thousand people preorder it within the hour
>there's just the announcement and no gameplay footage at all
>not even a 'Ships with CIV:Remastered' present
normies confirmed for worst yet again

>how do I google
It's a shitty mmo civ knockoff

>second on the left
Facefucking when
>cix
Transgender leaders when
The hype is massive though, I almost did it myself.

They are both ~5 tiles wide.

The angle in Civ VI doesn't occur naturally in Civ V. I doubt it will happen in Civ VI either, they're using it to show off the artstyle but the gameplay will likely be more overhead.

...

This is what casual actually believe.

Why weren't they able to create their own music?

Holy shied you're back, we're alive~
Wait a fucking second are you slavposter from /twg/?

Creativity as well as aesthetic taste die with IV. It's filled with manchild and neckbeard there now.

>not posting the alex one
God damn it, one job.
