Graphics look terrible, literally exactly like the first one.

Graphics aren't everything but when it comes to these city builder games I feel like it's a genre that has some of the biggest room for improvement and I'm just not seeing much here.

You're delusional.

It's a smaller bump than I expected. Maybe modders will help with that.

What the fucks is with this forum and their graphics obsession....
 
Graphics are alright. I just wonder if it will be different enough, or will it have enough content to justify a sequel over playing 1 + dlc.

Check your vision mate, it looks way better than first one.

Seriously, this game gets slept on too much. I absolutely love it and now it's on GamePass Day 1, holy shit. I am going to take that day off from work. This game is like digital crack.

Just scrolled up--if you think the graphics look the same, you're saying you never played the first one because this is a massive improvement.

I love the game but, this genre is not "oled friendly".
Just like the sims, age of empires...
As long as you display other things sometimes it's not a real issue, unless you only play that game.
OLED "burn-in" is not caused by a static image for hours, it's the accumulation of that static image over time.
So a game (or anything) with fixed UI does the same to the panel if it's displayed 100 hours straight as if it was displayed for 100 hours but for 2 hours on 50 days.
And with burn-in prevention systems it's less of an issue now with pixel-shifting and darkening of static elements.

I played many hours of Cities Skylines and Transport Fever 2 on my OLED TV (50+ hours each) and it does not have any signs of burn-in.

Also, many games have static UI elements, smaller but still static, like Zelda BOTW and TOTK, hearts and other UI stuff do not move, yet it's not an issue.

graphics are nothing for these types of games actually.
 
I can't wait for this game. The Devs had been putting out feature videos over the past month and I'm incredibly impressed with what I've seen so far.

The map size looks ridiculous.

Ya, it isn't great. Even if they made it perfect for controller it just feels wrong. Just like playing a fighting game on PC.

Good thing the first one had Keyboard and mouse support on console, as will the sequel likely.
