Rene Speculation: Art Style, Graphics, and Lighting

I think to compete with other games, it would need to be both very realistic and very beautiful. I could see changing as graphics capabilities change. Honestly in the simulation game category, TS4 still looks very attractive compared to some of what is out there. I say that while agreeing that it's an older game at this point and time will move on. I think Rene would need to offer something new. Maybe they could make options to choose more or less visual realism. They could probably offer different options for the lighting in the game for different players. I could see being able to choose the degree of brightness, warmth or coolness of the colors, and maybe some options for different types of players whether they want a smoggy, dark world or the opposite.
