Call To Power 2 Cradle 3+ mod in progress: https://apolyton.net/forum/other-games/call-to-power-2/ctp2-creation/9437883-making-cradle-3-fully-compatible-with-the-apolyton-edition
I've seen too many jaw-dropping tech demos turn out to be disappointing final products to get excited about this one. Those pictures sure are pretty, though.
it looks fantastic but really doesn't seem a massive leap except in the textures. i think i read somewhere you need a video card with 512mb or 1gb or ram to run it with full textures... it just seems like diminishing returns for me lately in regards to graphics. i hope with this next generation graphics will come to more of a stand still and gameplay will be the defining property of a game.
I think it's the textures or 'skinning' that really makes it shine, however. It actually reminds me of the infinity engine games that use really high-res artwork, only applied to a 3d mesh.
Not to trivialise the lighting and polycount, ect... but those are just more subtle.
