This is a LEGO

  I'm really interested now, don't know if I will like in the end, but that shot really got me now.

On a positive note, the graphics are beautiful...on a negative note, Origin is ugly.

Isn't that a tram station sitting right in the middle of the track?

[NCGAIO]

Just a matter...   is a image of EA of the new game ?


I can not find on the official website ... is part of some video?


Just curious since all textures and the dimensions are different from previous images.

if you look further up the line there is a second station with a tram going thru it ... not sure how?

if its identical to the one in the foreground then the support posts should have stopped it and its not going to do the customers much good having a tram run over the top of them

. In fact the trams  are made of new type of biologic material with anamorphic transmuter integrator    that absorbs the passengers as he crosses the station without dropping knock to reconstruct them at their point of destination. Another amazing discovery of the same time of the Glass Box

  I do not know if this picture is the game but coincidence or not the same material appears in several images from the official site.

  Looking carefully we will see many other novelties such as junior firefighters ... or maybe giant fire trucks. Semaphores height of buildings ... maybe for the transit of helicopters. Buildings that move away from the flames ... thus avoids the fire. Large trees in the sun transparent ... avoid shading the streets, etc ...

  In the case of the sun and almost certain that the new world of simcity told with several of them which explains the various different directions of the shadows.

  The video for the E3 show  carefully analyzed  have a reality in 3D that will be worthy of the best graphics workstation that your's pocket  can pay... unfortunately it is not my case...  Free vision camera and zom linear approximation instead of steps. While it is a bit confused as to eliminate the grid because it seems that she is still there for the placement of buildings.

  Anyway being less than eight months of the launch have not yet seen any clear picture of the game in operation, which prevents me from meeting the repeated calls for pre-purchase these after each demonstration. Who knows paid to name a building!

  I hope all excited that pre ordered remember to follow all this because it will certainly be reimbursement more difficult  if you do not like the game instead of simply cancel the purchase.

Well, if their technology is that far advanced, maybe it's time for EA to produce matter transport devices that collect the information of all elementary particles and their states of your body into one large "Wetransfer" like file, send this to another station which reconstructs your body completely out of dead materials. This would mean you would be murdered every time you go somewehere and again when you go back. But it would not need any tram- train or whatever transportation system.

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to calculate a stable orbit for a planet carrying life in a multi solar system? I think the EA people are really brilliant if they indeed succeeded here! This must truly be a game for Terring!

So now please stop fuzzing around at this new brilliant game. I'd say: if you liked LEGO and never felt like detailling further than that this new game will be perfect for you.

I want to see a farm area and see if they have as good of detail as many of the lotters have done.

Where you got that top secret information on this next step of technology transmuter? Are we being spied on?

..... So now please stop fuzzing around at this new brilliant game. I'd say: if you liked LEGO and never felt like detailling further than that this new game will be perfect for you.

Friend .... I very much appreciate all your work over SC4 but ...

You have your opinion and I have my ... like most who post on the subject ( not exist anything real image of the game running ) ...

So I can not share the opnion that the game is brilliant ... Sorry.

ps: the post about LEGO is not mine so I think that here was mistake.

Greetings.

Well, apparently I should have made my sarcasm a bit clearer. As far as I can see, and that is only in the images that are flying around, the game still looks like candybar-amusementpark-WaltDisneynightmare-legosimplicity (un) realism. In no way it looks like something I'd like to buy. But hey, I'll wait until they finish the stuff. And then some. I have the habit of buying games (the three I actually bought since 1995) when they cost about € 5,-- and have still some people actually playing it.

[NCGAIO]

Sorry friend ... I did not notice the sarcasm so I replied as above.


But you have not said where he got the information about our new super ultra plus master transmuter?


    I'll have to report to our superiors!

Now wait just a minute here folks, LEGO is amazing! If I'd gotten a penny for every hour I've spend playing with legos, well, I would have all the time in the world right now to spend on simcity 

Anyhow, I admit this screenshot, it looks a bit erm, how to put it, cheap?! Not to mention to obvious mistakes in it. However one thing that has bothered me from the first annoucment is this tilt-shift perspective. For me tilt-shift is just a photographic gimmick, like sepia or black-and-white. Fun to use once in a while but definitely not for an entire game. That said, I can imagine how ten years from now, when the community has released it's modding powers and the tilt-shift is counteracted and many amazing things added, simcity5 will turn out to be a very nice game after all. We just have to practice some patience and in the meanwhile rejoice in sc4!

If you haven't seen it on the site of EA yet, here is a night shot of the new game:



It looks a bit cheap to me, still. For example, look at these pictures:

[mike3775]

The pics look nice, but the more they show, the more "kiddy" it seems.

Not kiddy, but they definitely look like CGI, not realistic.

Real building get dirty and have imperfections...the buildings in these screen shots are just too perfect.

Toyland ... I keep expecting to see Noddy and his little Taxi

[j-dub]

You know what, if modding allows, that might actually just well happen! I couldn't draw him out by memory since the show has been off for so long in my RL, but maybe we can see him face down, and even include the whole Noddy shop while we're at it!

I think what got me thinking about Noddy was these pictures especially




I keep expecting a giant hand to reach down and add something to the model town ... and I know its very early days, but there are no fences anyway in the residential picture just open parkland, it just doesn't look right
