SE5 screenshots ugly?

It is based on much experience over the years with games being dumbed down or otherwise reduced in gameplay to make time for ever-fancier graphics. Surely it is possible to have both (and there do exist examples out there), but it tends to be less common...

Dizzy, please maintain the general level of civility of these forums. Thank you.

Rgr, rgr. Not meant as a personal insult to anyone, although was a sure kneejerk heated reaction to the thought some want to keep the game in the stone ages and think it will still be commercially successful. My bad, I actually thought everyone wanted it to be successful.

And while $15k is sure a chink of change, its NOTHING, NOTHING but a drop in the bucket to where it needs to be. If that's all it makles we wont ever see SEVI.

Like I said, w/o a good 3D front, it's just an ancient game that wont see the light of day on game shelves... er mb it will if those 300 peeps buy it preorder so MM can buy an endcap at Best Buy when it rolls out.

How can I say this nicely for those w/o higher brain functions... As fans of SE, it is your duty to see the game prosper so others will buy it. You spreadsheet jumkies need to see beyond your noses. Your appeal is in the minority. If you sent MM an email complaining about advanced graphics and higher CPU requirements cuz ur too cheap to penny up replacing your obsolete 5 yr old comp, then you arnt needed in the SEV ccommunity, thanks, pack your bags dont let the door slam on your arse on the way out. Bye Bye.

For everyone else, Im glad you realize that graphics sell. And SEV needs big numbers. Hell, I want to see Peter Jackson direct the Space Empires Movie. Is anyone working on a script?

If I Could as for one thing to make SEIV better, it would simply be to have the top down images rendered in 3d so that when they are facing in any direction, they are clear and not distored as BMP's are. Hell you probably could achieve this without 3d, have multiple angle views for the mini's. Past that, spinning gif plants would be cool. The rest are modding and bug fixes.
