I think generally, the overall graphics are ok given that we can't see the detail really well given the compression of the screen shots. Firaxis certainly needs to fix the roads, the units are not very clear, and some of the color choices are questionable. On the other hand, the I think the terrain looks good."Pessimism: Every dark cloud has a silver lining, but lightning kills hundreds of people each year who are trying to find it." - demotivational poster

Well, that must be the "polishing", doesn't it?Comment

People will probably attack me for this, but I like the graphics. The compression makes it a little hard to tell, but I think the units will be easily discernable in-game. The terrain colors aren't perfect, but they aren't horrible. And there's no way that hovering road can be in the final game.
Damn you pessimists

These screenshots are the ugliest thing I've ever seen. I know even in the Civ3 clip, that was about a minute and ten seconds, the graphics still didn't look clear. If the graphics still don't even look good on video, when are they going to look good? I'm sure they will look good when we finally play game but from what we've seen so far they don't look clear. You can't deny that.However, it is difficult to believe that 2 times 2 does not equal 4; does that make it true? On the other hand, is it really so difficult simply to accept everything that one has been brought up on and that has gradually struck deep roots – what is considered truth in the circle of moreover, really comforts and elevates man? Is that more difficult than to strike new paths, fighting the habitual, experiencing the insecurity of independence and the frequent wavering of one’s feelings and even one’s conscience, proceeding often without any consolation, but ever with the eternal goal of the true, the beautiful, and the good? - F.N.Comment

How can you base this on the video?? The video is a grainy shakycam -- it couldn't give much of a demo of anything specific, just a little peek for us.Comment

Graphics Schmaphics
Graphics do not make a game (at least, not one like Civ), so why bother hating on the graphics? I still play MOO2. How are the graphics in MOO2 relative to, say, Quake III? They're terrible! But for some reason I keep playing MOO2 anyway.<p style="font-size:1024px">HTML is disabled in signatures

I like the graphics, sure there's something they really need to change (did someone mention a hovering road
), but the gameplay is more important than graphics
This space is empty... or is it?Comment

All I'm saying is that from what we've (maybe I should say I instead of we) seen the graphics aren't clear. I haven't seen the E3 so maybe the graphics look clear in that. I'm not sure how the final graphics will look but from all the screenshots and the single video I've watched the graphics aren't clear. I will admit that the graphics looked very clear in the resource preview, though.How can you base this on the video??

Of course they don't. Gameplay is the most important part of the game but clearity is a big part of the game also. If you have to strain your eyes miserablely time after time trying to find out what unit that is or whatever, then the game is no longer fun. I want to be able to recognize units, etc... right off the bat, like in Civ2. Is that really so much to ask for?

I like the graphics. The irrigation tiles everyone complains about certainly look more realistic than one-pixel blue lines in Civ2 and the hovering road would definitely not be in the final version.

I went back and watched the trailer again and the graphics really didn't look bad. I think they were just shrunk down too much for the clip.Comment

Generally, I am a firm believer of the theory that graphics does not make the game. However, since my disappointment that Civ3 would not ty to implement the rise and fall of civilizations concept, I have begun to doubt this theory. Civ3 graphics resembled glorified Civ2, not an distant cousin as Civ2 was to Civ1. I would have believed that they would at least try to iplment the SMAC concept of varying grades of terrain, but my hope seems to have been in vain. My only consolence is that it could change and that at least better graphics would ensure taht Firaxias makes enough of a profit to try with a Civ4 later on.*grumbles about work*Comment

Few hours ago I played Civ 1 and it's great. This game really kicks ass.
