It is well known news already but
I belive it won't be better than TTD ...
and it's graphic does not come from TTD (it's worse than TTD)

Looks like it comes from RCT (which comes from TTD), but I wonder why 
the graphics look so bad compared to RCT, which looks already bad 
compared to TTD.
He should switch to 16 or 32 bits colors :D

That wouldn't improve it.

Currently, locomotion just sucks.

Maybe he should start again from scratch and get this idea of stations 
in the air out of his brain. This just looks sooo ugly in small towns 
and is very very unrealistic.

It sounds also, according the screen shots, that the layout of the track 
is still totally anarchic, without any notion of network (more than 2 
stations on the same line).

No One forces you to build a station different groundlevel ;)

Now there I disagree. Elevated stations do exist, you know. And can be very
effective - see e.g. the station Amsterdam Sloterdijk (Netherlands), where
three levels of tracks cross each other. If only that were possible in
TTD...

That must have been the challenge for Chris. Hopefully those elevated stations
don´t henpeck the game. :o)

Seems that you never saw this in reality, eh?

But I agree that the graphics do suck tremendously. The opposite of
seamless. Not to speak of those blurry buildings.
But the ugliest are the elevated tracks. Of course they must exist, but
their look is a catastrophe!! Seems like some kind of sidewalks beside the
tracks with bricked walls to fence them. Aaargh.
