Looks pretty nice! Can't understand why people want old fashioned 2D graphics type "Railroad Tycoon." It would look ugly, IMO. The RR2 graphics were already good, so it can only improve now.

After having seen the screenshots of RRT3 I must admit: The graphics in RRT2 was much better than the graphics in RRT3.. usually the graphics would get better during those years, but it didn't in this case

Here's what I don't like about 3D tycoon games

• 3D games just can't give the level of detail I love (That's 3D tycoon games I'm talking about)...
  
• 3D tycoon games makes the controls much worse...
  
• It requires more computer powers than 2D games...
  
• It takes more time to make a 3D game than a 2D game

Sorry, but I can't see the benefits of this "Everything should be 3D" thing going on...

I personally hated the graphics of RRT2, and while I'm not generaly a fan of 3D when it's not neccisary, i do like RRT3 graphics over the second.

And apparently tunnels are possible, atleast.

The preview even mentions underwater tunnels.

Sounds better and better...

I just hope they have gotten rid of these HUGE bugs:

- Whenever I got far in the game, all my trains kept crashing, even though I just replaced them with the newest model
- You have to edit the scenarios to be able to get the # of opponents you want to play against...

Are you OK, Osweld?

That's funny, I thought he was checking his 'pits to make sure he smelt fresh.

I thought he was some guy trying some 80s disco dance.

[General Ludd]

You uncultured savages that's the red mage from Final Fantasy. And yes, he's doing a disco.

[General Ludd]

I've got a head banging white mage, too, but she doesn't show up too well on the white/grey scheme.

Well I never played the original, how was it?

It's good, particularly when you consider how old it was. You can find it somewhere on the Web.

If you are more of a buider than a muckerfinancier, you'll love the original.
