Here is the city as seen at the start of ME3....
....and here is Earth in the cinematic trailer (for a better look at the new Earth city, watch these two videos: Fall of Earth, First Mission Gameplay.....
could not find a proper image of the new city dang it. Anyway, as it can be clearly seen, London looks almost identical to how it is now, but with a few futuristic buildings here and there, very much likely how it would be, you're not going to demolish every building in the planet to make shiny ones just because it's the future.
Here's a few images of what Im talking about....
Now in my eyes, that's much better. It gives the sense of what culture it belongs to without taking you away from the era you are in. Now, the city portrayed in ME3 may be a new one build from the ground up in the future, but it just doesn't feel like Earth, as the buildigs look to alien like. When I see it, I don't feel like it's Earth in any way.
Here's another....
....now this one looks very futuristic (Tokyo?) yet feels human made, not like those building that some don't even have windows. We humans put windows in all sides of a building that faces the horizon BW!
If it is a new city then alright, it kinda makes sense they are trying to make it look futuristic, but I would have gone in a different route that actually tried making you feel you are in the gritty 'n' dirty Earth that I know and love.... and the dirty 'n' gritty Earth described in the Earthborn background and Planet description and codex. Just saying, it doesn't look the way that they've said it did.
Now before I finish, thank all who took the time to actually read it, and this is all based on my own opinion, I ain't saying it is like this, as there must be people who like the new city and all that pretty lovey stuff.
And oh look, the song of the Fall of Earth trailer, found it while searching for the previous videos. Pretty good stuff.
