Not that Impressive

Exactly, we've got about a year left yet (give or take a few months) and they're about 60% done, so they have lots to finish yet, and I'm positive there will be improvements to what we've seen already.

They said in many articles that the graphical leap from TS2 to TS3 wasn't going to be as big as from TS1 to TS2. And honestly, it would be pretty impossible to do. Going from 2D to 3D is pretty hard to top. Now they are enhancing the graphics greatly, but not changing the core of them.

I myself want the gameplay changes more than anything else, and I want them to run on my computer. So I'm fine with this tradeoff. I understand the want for great graphics, but when it comes down to it, you're playing a game to play it, not to look at it.

asking them to make the same leap as they did from TS1 as they did to TS2 would be waaaay too much. that was mind-blowing.
but i mean, I was impressed... i thought they looked very realistic, or at least waaaay more realistic than TS2 sims.
one of the house pics doesn't make it look all that different, but if you look closely, you can see many many improvements.
be impressed! join us!
