so its black and white, but with fur!

the original was close to being great, but the creature was just a little to stupid and the levels just a bit tedious, hopefully years of feedback and improved specs will bring us what we expected the first time.

*very* early days. Still the old landscape engine....I fully expect that to change.

Keep an eye out for the PS2 version of B&W.

Still haven't finished that stupid 3rd island where they steal your creature. In fact, I haven't played it for yonks.

The addition of more exciting inter-tribe warfare looks nice though.

Did they scrap the PS1 version they promised way back when the PC one came out? I've not seen it in the shops.

The PS1 version was done outside of Lionhead and I'm not sure whether it was good enough to put out. Maybe they decided it was just wiser to can it and continue with the PS2 version which was done by B&W Studios and, therefore, more under their control. I don't know.

Well, it looks very nice, but so did the first one and we all know what that turned out like don't we?

I think I'll wait for the reviews...

Er, afaik, these screenshots were made using a dumbed-down version of the B&W1-engine which they use for the development of B&W2. That would also explain why it (at the moment, until they properly use the new engine) it looks worse than B&W1. Why you think that it'll need a monster PC - judging by these ugly screenshots - is beyond me, tbh. I was playing B&W on my old PII 266/Voodoo 3.

Why release screenshots now if it's running on an old version of the first engine though? I mean, it looks awful.

It's just so early, why not WAIT a year and focus on the sat' companies stuff - BC/Fable, B&W on PS2. I can't see the benefit of doing this, unless the new engine code is ready for E3 and the screenies are very early.

i second johns comment, it does look terrible.. surely releasing screenshots of an early version is shooting yourself in the foot. the fur is horrible, they've just opted for a few randomly placed textures rather than coding a nice little fur system which deforms edges (ala Star Fox)

I *want* this to work, but I'm going to keep my damn distance until they release a demo before I bother actually looking forward to it. B&W was too much of a disappointment.

Hmmm... Judging by the amount of satellite projects that have been canned by Lionhead recently, methinks they might be putting a large amount of effort into the B&W2 engine and their other game, "The Movies"...

Why did they have to can Unity though - Was looking forward to Jeff Minter's comeback...

/was also looking forward to Unity

I wonder how well it would've sold outside of the hardcore oldie gamers*

*i.e. those that remember Minter's stuff.

If they want a virtual pet game then they should just go ahead and write one. Just don't try to make it Rome Total War at the same time. The first game was a disaster because it mixed genres up without any clue about how they might work together.

I'd rather shoot my creature and get on with population management, tbh.

After "Black and White", I'm gonna just hold back on the enthusiasm a little...

I know, I'm a cynic. Sue me.

"I'd rather shoot my creature and get on with population management, tbh."

That was my thought in the first one, "Hey this could be a neat little god type game if it wasn't for that annoying pointless creature thing." Too much fannying around trying to teach your creature when really I wanted to zoom in on the world and watch my little humans shagging....never did catch them at it though.
