Art style?

[NEILHEEL]

Just wondering everyone's generic thoughts on the new art style of Rome 2.

[Sharpe]

Yes.

[triptyck]

Yes.

strongly agree.

[Sun Jetzu]

its cool, idk if you mean by the box art or whatever though

[Rebel_Caesar]

It was if it would have been, as well as it, but, since it wasn't it definitely should have been and in that case, would be another situation in its self, but of course if you knew it was all along then it would have been in your mind.
In theory.

Way to post and say absolutely nothing

@OP: I am liking Rome II's art style very much (from what I have seen so far)

[Lord Tomyris]

Given the title Total War: Rome 2 the art style is devoted to the very early 21st-century views of that crucible of western civilisation made by and for computer gamers. These are infinitely careful studies of the soldiers of that era, measured and precise, and of art work that ranges from the spreading panorama of the user interface, to the more modest but enchanting details of a unit card. They are extraordinary in their ambition, their accuracy and their technique but they are wholly 21st century in achievement — indeed they could well be described as the culmination of all that British game designers have striven to achieve.

I like it.

[ISG01]

Needs a tinge more, hmm... je ne sais quoi!

[MrBoBo1]

I like it, it's gritty, in a good way. I like the unit cards alot as well. Not really getting the complaints tbh. pre- Empire/Nap they tended to look like something made in paint shop pro.
Shogun 2 in comparison had quite a beautiful UI and this looks to be the same.

The [pre-]alpha was awful. Yellow piss filter, awful levels of contrast, just an eyesore.

It looks mostly better now, though.

Dude if you fight in Carthage it will still be yellow piss. The developers said that they want the battlefield to resemble desert like conditions. Sorry to ruin your day.

I guess we will fight in the piss.

I agree, alpha looked awful, the new screenshots look pretty nice though.

I think the yellow/orange color of Carthage is because of the fact that the city is on fire and the sunlight is filtering through the smoke. Here's the city when it's not under siege and on fire:

I hope this means City View managed to make it to the final game! I really want to see cities on their full spledour, not when they are on the verge of destruction.

[LordInvictus]

The presence of cheering citizens makes me think that this is a parade. Maybe there will be parades during city view?

It looks like the cutscenes are in-engine now rather than FMV's.
