Pre-Release Footage Of Civilization VI Shown!

I think we will see even more at E3 this year. Looking forward to it for sure.

 

This created a lot of buzz in the gaming community when it was released. I hope to see more before the game actually comes out which is highly likely to happen.

 

The territory lines seem a bit distracting though. It feels like puzzle pieces, instead of global maps. They should just remove it entirely, or just color the floor to the designated team's flag. That's basically my only complaint, it looks like a bunch of puzzle pieces on a board, and it doesn't add to the immersion of having civilizations.

 

Yeah, that is a problem a lot of strategy games have, some stuff is so useful to know, but at the same time, in order to show it you have to break the immersion of the game. I think it should be definitely more subdued, but I still think it is needed.

 

That was a good article, gave us a good look into what to expect in civ VI. I for one, am not a huge fan of the art style and think it looks to cartoon like. The realistic look of civ 5 was fantastic, and I am disappointing to see it go in this direction.

 

Love the art style they're taking. Almost looks like Sims 4 in color tones and texture? The little encampments and mines and farms look beautiful. And the UI looks a bit smoother and more refined than the last games. Looks a little reminiscent of CivRev to me

 

It's good that the old 'Culture' aspect is being improved and becoming more relevant. I always thought that the game's designers heavily underestimated the impact of culture on human societies. Now we basically have two tech trees, one dealing with social relations in the general populace.

That Teddy Roosevelt design is like: . They still have enough time to improve the animation, though.

 

Looks pretty awesome from this little bit of footage, I love the graphics and textures, it definitely gives the feel of "old" and "unique". Should be a fun game!

 

The hype is definitely real! I cannot wait for October, though it is quite a shame that I will have to be in school and not playing this game all day... XD

 

I am a fan of the art style. I know some say it's not realistic enough but I like it. Who knows, maybe it will grow on those people. It will be a lot of fun no matter the design.

 

I get tired of the grim dark styles of games like Skyrim and Guild Wars. I like when the colors are bright and shiny... XD

 

Sometimes I like to avoid the teasers and spoilers and the clips of games, but in this case it is just one of those games that I have to look. I have been waiting too long with too much anticipation not to take a little peak. I like what I see too, which just makes it all the better. Thanks again.

 

I am a fan of the artstyle as well. It's a well realized style and unique from the other civilization games.

That said, the gameplay for this looks really, really good. I'm glad that Firaxis seems to have learned from their mistakes with Beyond Earth.

 

I think it is creating quite a buzz this time round and honestly, the graphics and art style really seem much better in my opinion. It seem somewhat traditional yet with a slight realistic touch to it. I hope it will not be a let-down when I truly play the game.

 

From the looks of how much buzzing is around the gaming world it seems like this will be bigger than any of their other previous releases. Hopefully it lives up to expectations because if it doesn't then a lot of people may be turned off to the title completely altogether.

 

Does anyone know exactly how big the game world actually is? I am a huge Civilization fan and have been looking forward to this release for quite sometime, and am just hoping that th game world itself actully expands to its full potential. This is a great franchise and am overjoyed to see it getting another release!

 

I am in love with the idea of in-depth customisation! This is what attracts me to this new Civ, along of course, with the huge amount of other improvements and changes to the base game. I have always enjoyed the freedom that any sort of game gives the player, because at the end of the day, you are the one that needs to feel in control over everything you are doing, and in order to do that you need the game to allow you to make certain decisions and change things so that the pieces fall as you wish. By Civ choosing to give you more freedom of choice (with the new tech and civic system) that alone opens up the world for you, and I feel this will make the player even more engaged with the world. Oh, and don't get me started on the graphics! Print-screen any frame and put that on your wall, it's a masterpiece! The new game engine really shows its power by making the world come alive with clear and smooth graphics. Even the way in which the fog of war is represented is so unique and enticing - it reveals and hides areas you pass through with a gorgeous map effect fading. This is how you create immersion at a deep level! All this talking about Civ made me itch to play the game even more, when was it coming out again? Tomorrow?

 

Usually the more sequels to a game there are, the more they improve and I'm really seeing that a lot. It seems like there's going to be a lot of content and along with the new features that they're going to add and also bring back, I think this will be a great release. I guess we'll just have to wait and see for now.

 

Holy christ! It definitely looks extremely amazing!!! It's surely going to be one hell of a game, looking forward to it, the only thing is that I will probably have to upgrade my PC but come on, that will be a must to be able to play the game, come on, it's beautiful, it will be worth it!
