Hi all. Tell me what u think about UI?

[ljoshalata]

Sorry about style, I'm not the great Topic Starter, but please share with me and forum and PDX what you think about mobile-looking UI, especially after Vic2?

Let me start - I agree with the need for a new UI, but now it looks very mobile and reminds Anno 1800, which does not suit the GLOBAL strategy such as Vic2.

 

[Imperator Trotksy]

As of right now I wont judge it too much, it just got announced and the UI can be changed before release.

 

[SkYHawK 2600]

I agree on that, UI looks a little bit old, but I'm sure it can be updated easily. UX already seems to figured things out quite nicely. I could suggest that bringing the guys who made the CK3 and ask them to revamp a bit could solve the problem without much work.

 

[Imperator Trotksy]

Also aside from the UI, I feel the map seems off but looking back at other paradox games before release, their maps went through changes before being released.

 

[Vernichtere]

Its ok. It will also change. And i play paradox games for 20 years now. So i always expect bad UI at the start.

 

[Nicolaes]

It reminds me of a mixture of Anno 1800 and Civilization 6...

It looks alright though I guess, menu never has been too big of an issue for me, I'm more interested in what those menus contain right now.

There is definitely something off about the UI/Map. Feels really low quality (pixelated?) for a new game.

 

[Nikolai]

Seems good enough, especially for a alpha stage game.

It doesn't really feel like Victoria, 1 and 2 both had a similar aesthetic that this one lacks

 

[Niko92]

First thing that I thought of was Empire Total War for some reason

 

[Ninking]

I very much like having the buttons to the left instead of at the top. It's how I keep my windows toolbar!

 

[Horagor]

I prefer CK3 UI. I think the vic 3 UI take too much place on the screen and hide a big part of the map.

Edit: Also maybe I find the UI too static for a next gen grand strategy game, portrait moving like CK3 make the game really more alive.

that's what i'm talking about

but they also said that this is not a direct sequel and it is clear that they are trying to sideline for new players

Definately agree, for a game that is not going to be released anytime soon the UI is well situated. Since now they announced people will mention their points and whenever they bring in people behind closed doors they will also mention the good and the bad parts.

As of right now, from the released screenshot the map feels weird (maybe the angle?) but I would need to be in game and scroll around to get a feel for it ( )

 

[Nostalgium]

Looks like an alpha UI to me, and a good one as far as they go. I've no doubt things will change before release.

 

[EastonAugustus]

I hope they get rid of the CK3 3D pops. I understand that they may be doing so in Vic 3 to sell us flavor clothing or something, but I think it looks ugly and won't age well. I prefer the Pop icons like in IR or Vic2.

It's pre-alpha. Map still WIP

 

[comandi]

i do not like it, but it is very early... a lot will change. it is time to celebrate. we waited a long time for this

It looks like it is made by the same people who did the UI/UX for imperator and CK3. I like neither of those.

I was unhappy with the Imperator's interface on release, I liked its further iterations more
