Let’s hope for something more like 2.

BoxOfFeet,

I hope so. 3 was awful, I didn’t even finish it.

You missed out. There are some really cool artifacts late game. One of them makes your slide move faster than pretty much all vehicles.

mox, do games w Sid Meier’s Civilization VII - Gameplay Reveal Trailer

This looks like the live stream of the gameplay reveal, starting now:

www.twitch.tv/firaxisgames

mox, (edited )

Highlights as I remember them from the live stream:

  • Play progresses through 3 ages: Antiquity, Exploration, Modern
  • Continue as a different civ when starting each new age
  • Map expands with each new age
  • Leader choice is separate from civ choice
  • Districts
  • Christopher Tin soundtrack
  • Gwendoline Christie narration
  • February 2025 release

Edit: Here’s the rerun:

Yorick,

Also noted :

  • Navigable rivers
  • terrain has cliffs
  • armies seems to be condensed, with generals leading them. Fighting looks to be constant in some way? (or that’s just the render for the trailer)
  • cities seem to expand much more
  • the leaders looks to have some stats which can be improved

  • Play progresses through 3 ages: Antiquity, Exploration, Modern

Anyone want to bet there would be more ages after DLCs are released?

I’m guessing Industrial and Information ages added before and after Modern age, respectively.

Also a possibility of a humankind style neolithic era?

But yes, expecting some required DLC unfortunately.

But civ is a patient gamer staple - just wait for 8 to come out and 7’s dlcs will be cheap! 🤣

Nighed,
@Nighed@sffa.community avatar

Interested how the map expansion will work in multiplayer.

Concerned about the era resets.

I like what they appear to have taken from humankind (eras, leader swaps, outposts/yowns, map elevation?) and old world (tile improvements culture bomb)

Also concerned about how the maps seemed to just be cities, no gradual domestication of the world with farms, mines etc.

mox,

Concerned about the era resets.

What resets? The impression they gave was that you keep what you’ve already accomplished when moving to a new era. (It’s always possible that I misinterpreted something, though. I guess we’ll see.)

Nighed,
@Nighed@sffa.community avatar

There was something said (maybe by a youtuber?) about upgrades merging with your town centre or something on a new era (because so much is specific to a single era). Almost like playing 3 games on the same map.

It also implies that tech disparities will be reset twice a game…not sure if that is good or bad.

oxideseven,

Sounds similar to Humankind. Which is nice cus I like that game.

Prunebutt, do games w Indiana Jones and the Great Circle - Release Date Trailer (December 9, 2024)

Why do they use mocap if the animations still look fake and videogamey?

Maestro,

That's wooden acting for ya

MilitantAtheist,

Isn’t it just the way Harrison moves?

Prunebutt,

Harrison Ford doesn’t move as if his limbs don’t have any mass, though.

I was just wondering if we’re gonna get any news of the prequel during Gamescom. So glad to hear that it was not among the games 2K cancelled earlier this year. Hangar13 did great with the Mafia Remake so I am extremely hyped for this.

@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

Was hoping the movie would have killed the franchise and force them to move on and make something original again instead of wallowing in IP rot.

lud,

At least the games are usually fun to play.

The story will be meh, but I doubt the gameplay will be bad.

BroBot9000,
@BroBot9000@lemmy.world avatar

The gameplay loop is only fun when the dialogue is funny and it hasn’t been funny since 2.

I’m just so over looking at virtually identical gear with slightly better stats that were randomly generated.

blanket, do games w Sid Meier’s Civilization VII - Gameplay Reveal Trailer

Wish it didn’t require a 2k account. don’t need another account to play a video game.

obinice,
@obinice@lemmy.world avatar

Why would you need an account to play a single player, non cloud hosted game?

deegeese,

Shitty publisher mandated launchers.

Link,

They are getting rid of the launcher for Civ 6: pcgamer.com/…/2k-removes-its-pointless-launcher-f…

CarbonatedPastaSauce,

Good, I wonder if they removed it for Xcom 2 yet. I haven’t played that since they sideloaded that crap into my steam install.

circuitfarmer,
@circuitfarmer@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Didn’t they announce that there would not be a launcher? Also removed for Civ VI.

alilbee,

It doesn’t. They mentioned there would be a unique skin for Napoleon if you signed up but it didn’t sound required.

blanket,

The steam page literally says that it requires a 3rd party account for online play (just not required for offline play). so I’m not sure if that’s what you’re referencing.

alilbee,

Ah, there’s the catch and confusion. Not required for single player but required for multi, I guess? Not sure how others play Civ but that’s not gonna affect me. I’ve only ever played these games solo besides a very rare duo game.

mox,

Uh-oh. That’s the sort of thing that would lead me not to buy it.

arudesalad,

It’s probably to make cross-platform easier (since it’s releasing same day on all platforms)

HeavyRaptor, (edited )

Ah, so that’s why your leader now appears when you are communicating with a different civ. They had to add this for bullshit skins monetization.

Edit: I wonder if this will be moddable: I now wanna see Master Chief teabagging Cleopatra when I declare war

arudesalad,

It’s the same as civ 6. Having a 2k account gave an extra leader for Rome, all leaders have unique abilities, it’s not just cosmetic.

It is probably moddable as custom leaders were possible in civ 6

dan1101, do games w Sniper Elite: Resistance - Reveal Trailer

Love the Sniper Elite games. The maps on 5 were especially atmospheric.

What an insane trailer. Love these guys

Maestro, do games w Path of Exile 2 - Early Access Date Announcement (November 15)

How does Early Access work for a Free-to-play game?

Modva,

Only some people will get access I presume

Prok,
@Prok@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t think so… Otherwise I’d hope there would be a mention of it being closed, or how to sign up

Prok,
@Prok@lemmy.world avatar

Just indicating it’s not feature complete, likely only a portion of the campaign will be playable.

silverchase,
@silverchase@sh.itjust.works avatar

Path of Exile has used its own early access system multiple times before. If it’s anything like the 3.0 closed beta, the most recent time this happened, they’ll send waves of invitations to signed-up site users.

JusticeForPorygon, do games w Goat Simulator Remastered - Announcement Trailer
@JusticeForPorygon@lemmy.world avatar

Didnt they just release the sequel a couple years ago? How will this differ from that?

figjam,

They’ve remastered skyrim like 400 times. You just gotta give the people what they want

OutlierBlue,

What people want is TES 6. Remastering Skyrim is what they’re doing in the meantime to earn some money to stay afloat while they waste everyone’s time.

jjjalljs, do games w Borderlands 4 - Official Teaser Trailer

They all have kind of bad pacing. Takes too long to get to the good parts, spends too much time walking back and forth or driving around. The core gameplay is meh- it’s more about levels and gear stats than like strategy or execution. It takes too long to get enough skill points to do interesting things.

Unless they address that stuff, I’m going to wait for the game to be in the bargain bin.

potustheplant, (edited )

Almost as if it was a looter shooter. Oh wait…

jjjalljs,

“looter shooter” is irrelevant to most (arguably all) of the complaints listed.

Brickardo,

Nah, that’s not it - Warframe did it right

DarkThoughts, do games w Sid Meier’s Civilization VII - Gameplay Reveal Trailer

I'm a bit torn. On one hand it seems like a step back from the Civ 6 cartoon garbage. On the other hand the ground textures still look like blurry paint vomit. It's kinda weird because the foliage and mountains / rocks seem to be in a higher resolution and much more detailed. I guess it might be WIP and a remnant from Civ 6.
The unit sizes also seem gargantuan? I guess that part would not be as hard to fix via mods but that was already a compatibility nightmare before, especially when the mod authors quit.

So, graphically it might be a buyable Civ game again, but...
Picking a new civ or mismatching leaders makes me worry though, because that sounds awfully familiar to another game that had a similar terrible feature. The Aztecs turning into France while being led by some Japanese dude just does not feel right.

The FOMO unlocks to bait you into signing up AND buying the cartoon shit are a hard pass for me though. Selling that as a "thank you" is nothing but insolent.

Etterra,

Oh ffs what is it with people thinking it looks like a cartoon. As for scale, that’s every 4x game.

DarkThoughts,

Are you seriously claiming Civ 6 does not have a cartoon art style..?
And no, Civ V had a much better unit scale & diversity, especially with certain mods.

Visstix,

From what I saw of the gameplay is that civilizations are sorta locked on a path, but you get a choice of similar civilisations. Unless you play in the style of a different civ and unlock certain milestones you could unlock other paths. At least from what I understand.

DarkThoughts,

I honestly could not really tell. The UI did not give me a whole lot of information there.

mox,

TIL some people play Civ games for the graphics.

jorp,

Not graphics, art style. It’s a valid critique and not snobbery.

mox, (edited )

TIL some people play Civ games for the art style, assume that others who notice think it’s snobbery, and go on to nitpick nomenclature.

DarkThoughts,

No, you got it backwards. I don't play obnoxious eye cancer games that cause me migraines and look ridiculous. When you go from Civ V with diversified & smaller units that shows basically big armies, to some World of Warcraft-esque eye bleeding mobile game like art style that shows units as a single big cartoon unit, then that's just not what I want from a game like this.

technomad, do games w Mafia: The Old Country - Official Teaser Trailer

That was an enticing trailer, those stringed instruments got me.

KombatWombat, do games w Sid Meier’s Civilization VII - Gameplay Reveal Trailer

At 15:05 it isn’t clear what is meant by a “full campaign”, but it does sound like you can set up games to be only one age. I hope so, as I am skeptical about swapping civilizations. It was actually the primary thing that put me off Humankind, rather than a selling point. Resetting not only your Civ’s identity but also the world’s resources, map size, and the tech tree is concerning. If one age isn’t an option, I am sure mods will save us at least.

Mod support and multiplayer are huge interests for dedicated fans, so hopefully we will get more information soon. VI improved a lot from V, so I expect it will be good.

I prefer the new graphics to Civ VI’s overall, but I don’t want to say it actually tops V until I’ve played it myself. A few screens seemed visually unfinshed. Story events, navigable rivers, leader skill trees, and the calamities at the end of ages seem intriguing at least. No mention of a world congress, hopefully they have a better system in mind than VI’s.

Still curious about culture progression. They didn’t show a card system like VI, so that at least makes me hopeful. Ideally I would like a permanent unlock/upgrade tree and a way to temporarily boost something at a cost in another system, like edicts in Stellaris.

Looks like districts and wonders still take a tile to build, but now other buildings do too? Cities sprawl out a lot, and are diverse within. Perhaps we will be able to build duplicate buildings that were previously one per city, especially since they mentioned city specializations. It also seems like workers/builders might be attached to a particular city rather than movable units.

Overall, I’m a bit less excited and more worried. There were a lot of changes from V to VI that I was disappointed with from the onset and honestly they did not grow on me.

@radicalautonomy@lemmy.world avatar

At 15:05 it isn’t clear…

Did we watch different videos? Because the one I see linked is only two minutes long.

Kinakuta,

They must be referring to the full stream, maybe this one? www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tc3_EO6Bj2M
