Beyond Earth Screenshots

I think one of two things: they're some dictator's lawn ornaments, or given the flooding and obvious damage to the ones remaining, a Ramses' temple at the Aswan High Dam-type relocation project may have happened. -Only enough funds to hit the high points, the GP & Sphinx.

I totally stole the Cairo link, BTW.

This might be extrapolating a little much from some concept art, but I wonder if the planet you land on really is habitable for humans. Those marines certainly look like they're wearing the equivalent of spacesuits. Then there's this:

This is supposedly a colony, which is either a proto-city in BE or the city equivalent. The text reads (in part):

-Photosynthesis, air, food, water, wind, sun light, energy, ?electricity?

-A self-sustaining eco system

Again, this would seem to suggest that the surface of the planet is not suitable for humans. I wonder if that has any effect on gameplay (what sort of resources you're extracting?), and I wonder if you can terraform the planet, and if so, I wonder what effects that would have on gameplay.

It could be like in SMAC where the air had oxygen and nitrogen enough, but people could not breathe outside without "gas mask" type filters.

2K tweeted a collection of Beyond Earth wallpapers, but it's just the astronaut looking out the window one in different resolutions. It's a nice shot, though.

An old model in a slightly different setting ... the Marine (Purity Affinity):

More unit concept art From Civ's Facebook page:

Spoiler:

Concept art showing three Level 3 Naval Fighters each focused on a different Affinty. How will the Affinity you adopt mold your civilization?

Although as some on Facebook mentioned, the labels don't look right.

Edit: Looks like they fixed it.

Pretty neat looking, although they do look a bit like shoes.

dammit, lori, i was just coming in here to post that. :wiglaf:

[Lorizael]

Get a more boring job.

Here's some new concept art for the Purity affinity:



I'd like to see the counterparts for the other affinities. Harmony should look like a bird, and Supremacy should have no cockpit.

Those designs look neat definitely worth a try

Some very high quality screenshots (some duplicates of older ones) have been released.

I really like the astronaut with the assault rifle. The Purity ship looks like a Red Alert 3 Assault Destroyer, though.

The Maracana stadium seems to be missing from the Christo Redeemer picture. Are these people not watching the World Cup?

[Aeson]

Probably something to do with the Great Mistake. Banning of all sports? No choice but to leave Earth!

[gdijedi7]

No, the Great Mistake was letting the Gains come back to Earth.
