Republic Preview
pc.ign have a look at the upcoming god sim Republic. The game promises to be an interesting departure from standard sim gameplay, with an emphasis on manipulation and political intrigue. The sample screen shots from the game’s “Totality”engine are pretty damn sweet.
And what an engine it is — Hassabis showed off a medical building that featured curved edges, tiny details, and a helipad that when zoomed into revealed that the grating around the edge was actually made of individual polygons rather than a simple texture. At first glance, it seems to be what SimCity 3000 aimed for originally — a fully 3D look at a living city, down to the street level.
