This is why Civ VI has cartoony graphics
It extends a games lifespan. The newest cod will look out dated in 2-3 years. Star Wars: BattleFront will look outdated in 4-6 years. Imagine all your cartoony games you play now and give the realistic graphics of the time period. They would outdated as ♥♥♥♥ (TF2) compared to what they have now.

You really notice it because it's such a change from the style of Civ5. It's understandable why some would find the shift from realistic to cartoony hard to adjust to.

What I find slightly strange is how they mix the cartoony and realistic graphics. They have realistic looking water and coast, but real cartoonly looking pine trees.

The leaders are certainly cartoony. Almost too much IMHO. (though I have only seen two)

I think I can live with it if they do everything else right however.

Extending the lifespan of a flop doesn't do much for replay value, and games have flopped on bad graphics before.

You can't call a game immersive if it feels like you're playing with toy blocks on some casual mobile port. That, I feel, is the biggest grief. Most people took one look at it and said "Ugly, I don't want to play it." and potential buyers are worse than toddlers; once bad taste sets in, you can't fix it.

That's probably why they backtracked and released a more fleshed out graphics look after the initial pictures.

if you're looking for immersion in a civ game, you're gonna have a bad time.

'That's probably why they backtracked and released a more fleshed out graphics look after the initial pictures.'

that's not what they did at all. they may have supposedly tweaked the contrast but they havent changed their vision one bit for the whiners.

Oh, ok. I guess I've been casually engaging for 6 hours straight on my Civ campaigns. Don't get me wrong, I don't want something that will break my graphics card, but if I'm running a civilization, it should look like a complete civilization, not a village in Clash of Clans.

the detail levels of the new game far surpass civ 5, and the new cities in both their day and night forms look absolutely gorgeous. for me their recent gameplay videos have squashed any reasonable doubt over the graphical choices.

The detail level and graphical style hasn't changed at all. It just looks like someone post-processed the initial screenshots in a really dumb way.

Have you actually looked at Clash of Clans itself, rather than the TV ads? Thunder posted a side-by-side in a few places on the forum, they really don't look alike - even with the original screenshots.

Thunder always comes to the rescue.

Ok, I am extremely integrated in Civ 6 development,I don't actually work for them, but my uncle does... As a matter of fact, he agreed with the new graphics. He told me that, One, The map will be easier to read zoomed out, think of when you mistook a farm for a mine. Two, Easier on graphics card as stated above. Three, It looks pretty with the day and night cycle. Hope this helped!

Okay, I admit, that was ambiguous on my part. What I meant there was that when they released the images, it looked like they hadn't worked very heavily on the graphics. The later screenshots looked like a later stage of development. I get that they wouldn't have undertaken a graphic development redirection at this point, but, after the initial swell of disdain for the graphics, they released the better looking images to quell complaints.

Still, it seems to me if they're chasing this direction of graphics, the effect of controlling a grand empire seems somewhat diminished by the aesthetic of controlling a few colossal, garish units on a vibrant, colourful backdrop.

I'm not trying to complain about the new game, by any means, I want Civ 6 to be good, and so far, the intricacies of the game seem to be going great; changes to city expansion, much more interaction with individual tiles and, the one graphic thing that I do like, is the papyrian fog of war.

More efforts in that direction, I think, would be well received. It's not graphics-intensive, but it adds an element of seriousness to the grand-scale gameplay. I'm probably not articulating this right, because despite however they make the game, it's probably still going to be good.

I just don't want to drive a Ferrari that looks like a Daihatsu, regardless of how it handles and how many luxury features it may have.

I played it, but not a great deal. I'm exaggerating, no doubt about it, but it seems the core of the complaints about graphics centre around the disjuncture between in-depth, immersive gameplay, and surface-level aesthetics. It works for games like Terraria, but I don't think I'd want Total War to look like Terraria.

Sorry for necro-ing (Is it considered necro after 4 months idk) But if someone is willing to throw down SGD$75 for a game like this, they arent too far of from a decent graphics card that can run Civ 5 pretty well.

IMO, its just a really sad way for them to maybe(?) cut costs and increase profits, cause people who play the game are majority more on the mature side and cartoony graphics dont sit well with most of them im assuming. The graphics is just a real put off. If they had just implemented the district feature and then retained civ 5 graphics with a bit more improvement on the AI. I wouldnt complain. Can't say the same for the rest of the audience but im pretty sure most would be more comfortable with realistic graphics.

Civ5 and CivBE had cartoon graphics, i really can't understand the problem.

I don't think a different art aesthetic has any impact on cost. It's still using more detailed 3D models than previous games.

It's not even THAT cartoony. It's just using brighter colours and making certain map elements larger. The only major difference between the last one is the way the FoW is displayed and I really love what they did with that.
If you want an example of a cartoony strategy game, check out Advance Wars (which is also awesome).

The games that tend to get remembered most fondly are those with distinct visuals and a coherent art direction. This isn't usually the case when you take the "realistic graphics" route. Better in the long run to have good visuals over realistic ones.
