Permalink Submitted by 12345MasterC on Jun 19, 2012

It would be cool if they could include drivable cars, ships, and planes like what was in the previous simcity 4. You could use them for trade and do missions such as flying passengers to other regions or for delivering cargo from ships and planes which could give your city a lot of money and rewards. Also, what if you were able to walk around your city through the eyes of a sim? Think about it...

Permalink Submitted by FSleeper on Mar 22, 2012

Without exception, the thing I LOVED prior SimCities for and HATED SCS for was with respect to wondering what would "grow" in a region. I LOVED SC for only "marking" off an area and attending to the needs and watching the animation of things building and especially, maturing into more and more and more, over time (The slow, building animations were cool - sure and hoping for even more details/time taking this time around). I HATED SCS for the very fact you plopped stuff in.

PLEASE someone say this is NOT going to be a "plopper" =P

Permalink Submitted by Reviresco on Mar 08, 2012

Looks good... But what is at the core of this game?

I hope there is the zoning feature in this game, like there was in the older editions. I like being able to zone an area and actually watch it grow from nothing, into a thriving area.

**I dislike the attempt in later additions to reduce features to just "plopping" a office building, home, and so forth. That takes the fun out of watching it grow, and change. In other words boring, dumbed down features akin to SimCity Societies!!

Have these graphics, with the feel of SimCity 3000 at the heart of game play. With multiplayer as an option, not a forced feature.

Now it comes to the spyware/malware known as SecuRom... I will not pay my hard earned money money, if this game has it built into the DVD or Digital versions.

If it is on Steam, with-out SecuRom, or anyother version of the spyware/malware, I may buy from Steam.

Definitely not from Origin, it has that crapware imbedded into all Digital downloads.

Dang, in the last 15 years i played them all, almost all Sim Cities ever made. Execept for Societies, Creator (Wii, DS) and the versions for mobile devices as they were...

Well let's look ahead. I like what i see. And i hope my desire to a true sucessor to Sim City 4 and Sim City 3000 will be finally over next year. As many user statet before: Yes, please keep it real. Keep it SIM City. Not Casual City. If you know what i mean.

And finally, after years. Curvey roads. Waited for this since Sim City 3000. :)

Dear 4 star General

Permalink Submitted by Comox_Guy on Mar 17, 2012

Dear 4 star General

I agree with a lot of previous posters, and I feel the following aspects of the game are critical.

1. Stand alone OFFLINE GAMING with FULL CAPABILITY.
This isn't angry birds, get your target audience right. Simcity players are older, financial more secure, intellectual and to a large extent introverts who see the game as calming retreat, in a world that is already way too online.

2. DONT DUMB IT DOWN.
See point 1. To think Simcity 4 was complicated is nothing short of an insult. Just look at the User created Content for that game. Art content AND Game content. If you gave us Wheat in Simcity 4, we have made sliced bread out of it. Yes you want to attract a younger audience, and young people love a challenge. Treating them like incapable sheep is the biggest threat to western society today.

3. Continue with the Miniature world graphics theme.
Don't get too realistic with the graphics. It is one of the most lovable quirks of the game. The original texture packs are quite good. Improve upon it, but dont go all realistic.

4. STABILTY And AUTOSAVE promts.
I saw that bearded developer salivate over Computing power. That usually comes before a resource hog / crash prone game. Prompt the player every half hour for an autosave. Sometimes players get so into their cities, we end up loosing a lot of hard work.

5. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.
We love you, and we will buy this game no matter what. The reason being MAXIS. So go ahead and break all of my rules, I wont hate you. Just take a good hard look at Societies and Cities XL. Both games were failures. Don't become another one.

Sincerely.

Frontline Infantry

Please don't forget toll

Permalink Submitted by don26262626 on Mar 17, 2012

Please don't forget toll roads or any other feature from sim city 4 if possible in this version either. That was like the most favorite feature I loved when playing sim city 4 the ability to place toll roads. Nothing has ever cam close to sim city 4 rushhour. I can't wait thanks for this announcement. And hopefully you can make it so when you build roads you can do roads on top of roads on top of roads if you want like alot of cities in Texas do bridges and criss crossing roads is my second favorite thing to do with the cities any ways love the video I am sure you will blow all competitors out of the water again if only i could be there to see it in action awsome
