CTP2 not looking different enough....!

[red_jon]

Judging by the screenshots does CTP2 look all that different to the original?

It even seems that there is no "medieval" (castle) city style AGAIN! This really annoys me as around half the civs should use this. I know this is fixed with a patch in the original, but should we pay for a second game we only have to patch up again?

And some units look exactly the same as the original too.

Surely the whole point of a sequal is to change it!

the point is for the game to PLAY better.....

Of course the point is to play better, but it would be nice for them to supply new graphics as well.

No!
Like MarkG said, the point of a sequel is NOT to change the way the game works or looks, but to improve on the basic idea. It definitely does NOT mean changing everything, as you seem to imply.

I'm with you, Mark. I wish people would get over the graphics thing. It's tiring.

Two things. One, I'm getting sick of hearing about people complaining how CTP2 won't be "different" enough from CTP1. Two, red_jon, if you don't like the graphics that much, then change them yourself.

The main thing that annoys me is that the city styles are the same- i.e with the absence of a medieval city style (like the un-modified CTP1).

Sure we can change the graphics ourselves/ download patches and generally DO ACTIVISIONS WORK FOR THEM- they're producing the game, it shouldn't be up to anyone outside Activision to have to modify it to improve it.

Don't get me wrong, I am eagerly awaiting the realease of CTP2, the lack of visual change in many units/ cities just dissapointed me a bit.

Activisions works very hard for a good gameplay and you are dissapointet, because there some same graphics from CTP? Brrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuuuuuu.......


Make it better and then we see....

I don't get you all. If you wan't good game play, and not concerned with graphics, then why stray away from the original Civ's, or even Alpha Centauri?
Good graphics is the only card Activision has to play.
