I guess I'll wait a bit. The graphics look a bit bland and RT doesn'T scream like buy me.
I liked the VO trailer though.

So it's utter shit.So here is my opinion of MOO4.
While this game have upgraded and improved some things, for example the UI, smooth overall gameplay with short loading times (turns) and almost no lag or other issues. The game still lack in most of the other areas.
This seem to be from the fact that they took MOO2 and then began to hack away at it until they could sell it to todays market of consumers with no attention span.
Instead of improving on MOO2 they removed feature's like: Less race traits, no turn based combat, worse research tree's.
While i like the style of the galaxy, the planets and yes even SOME of the race's most of them look overall bad with bad artstyle's and bad ship designs.
There is a bunch of things that feel like it missing like: The ability to place a colony on a planet where you have a base. Maybe its due to me playing MOO2 as of late, but it feel as if there are a bunch of buildings that have been removed.
There don't (unless i'm stupid) seem to be any way to move food from one planet to the other. There seem to be a large (story) based pointer that some race's are "war like" and others are more democracy built. Yet there are no souch things within the game.
I'm also not a huge fan of the "you have to move at the points we tell you" instead of the more free form movement of MOO. I get why they did this (multiplayer) however it seems like a overall downgrade. And yes i know there are new things so that you can make choke points but... Yeah...
Overall its a downgraded version of the older games with a few improvments but overall it's worse.
Can one play it? Yes... There are worse games out there. But if you are looking for a MOO2 game that have been improved upon with more research, race's, choices and new interesting features. Then sadly you will be disappointed.
That's cute sir, but it's wrong. Those creatures definitely look exotic, but anything looking like that, no matter how intelligent, couldn't create a civilization. They fail at basic level, they can't use tools. Creating something totally alien is almost as simple as creating yet another humanoid bear (speaking with Russian accent). I'd like to see someone making an effort to design something alien yet plausible for a change.
an theey decided to make another bipedal ... FFS ( HUMANOID)
Save me 40 bucks, thanks.Played it a bit. I don't think it deserves a detailed write-up so I'll put it simple: babby's first 4x strategy.
turn-based combat in 4x with a big scope sucks cocks anyway.

MOO 1 was also more streamlined, and it was the better game as far as I am concerned.it looks like the Master of Orion reboot is shooting for the simpler, more streamlined tier
In other words: the game is going to be generic as fuck.
I'm edgy and I'm out.
what you mean bipedal civilization and tools? thats serious lack of imagination bro
So, all our hopes stayed with Ray Fowler project.

It's not that simple. You need a decent set of limbs capapble of good amount of lifting and precission and a good set of senses.So, something air-breathing that has a brain and appendages. That's the minimum criteria for a technological species, imo.

wouldn't be able to create all that high-tech shit when this is all they can see
It awlways bugged me
If you allow magic and fantasy, anything is possible. I'd like to discuss scientifically plausible ideas though.mind control
But that's NOT all they can see. That's all WE can see of what THEY can see. That image simply represents the overlap of our visual ranges, as we cannot see the things that are in the image that are outside of our range.wouldn't be able to create all that high-tech shit when this is all they can see
