Where is the road coming in from the west and the northeast? The port is not even in the right place. Compare that layout to the real Britain from UO: http://uo.stratics.com/content/atlas/britain-map.shtmlI apologize for the Stratics link. I went with the top of my google search.

In VGA colour? LUXURY! In my day, the world of Ultima was simply different shades of green.

You didn't have the color card for your Apple //e?
Regardless, wrong map is wrong. They need a stronger Ultima brand lead if they really want to tap into the audience that cares. Not that the lay of the land makes or breaks the IP, but come on. There's a current Ultima game still live a decade and a half later that itself is based on a map that stretches back almost 30 years. What possible reason is there to change it except eff-you-for-caring?

Almost as glorious as their tears once they realize the nerds would be the only ones paying them to play this game.

fuck geographical consistency, the biggest issue is the art direction. That tree house, that goddamn castle right at the gates. And what is that to the north? A theater?

It would take a miracle for this game to get anywhere near HOMM3's level of greatness.

So, official website has been relaunched with a trailer, screenshots, and the announcement that the game will initially come out only on iOS; http://ultimaforever.com/I think the website and the related content speaks for itself, but I'll leave you with the following, anguishing and very complex and thought out question:

Outstanding! That looks like they even screwed the card reading at the beginning up.
They exceed all my expectations. This will be a monumental trainwreck. I can't wait.

I'm starting to think that, for whatever reason, some of the screenshots posted are just placeholder ones (or, maybe, that dialogue snippet posted above is like, you know, the "second page" and final part of a longer phrase with an actual, "virtue-test like" question) .  Yes, darling, but why that naughty look (and is the lack of "the" before "Queen" and "as" before "I can" acceptable?) ?

That art style is pretty bad. And why is Lady British not speaking Elizabethan english? And why is the font not good? And whypad.

Yes, the grammar is acceptable (setting aside that she doesn't talk like Lord British, and that she ends a sentence with a preposition which is generally OK these days, but still bothers some people.)

Except for the whole thing about how those who haven't heard of Ultima aren't likely to buy it, and those that love the IP are cringing at what's being done to it.

This. No matter the grand dreams, Choice-based RPGs have come too far for Ultima to matter as a brand or game experience without a shitload of marketing of an actual good experience that convinces an entire generation that "good choice-based RPG" isn't Skyrim or Mass Effect before 3.
