very cool idea... thats seattle alright... looks good on paper dont it??? the simcity guy should have used more mass transit options earlier on, subway/light rail ... we're paying for it now by god, the traffic... good post

This sounds like an excellent placeholder. I think I'll have to name buildings in Simcity after this. Forever Shit Ass Pet Fuckers.

Oh, man, someone get this dude a copy of Minecraft. His head will explode.


Simcity is made for this guy, and this guy is made for Simcity.

Except it will be infected by stupid DRM.


As long as all of the AI runs locally and it's only sending statistics, at least the performance won't be damaged by a poor connection, the way it is with Diablo 3. Still, the DRM is inexcusable, but not D3 bad; they've set a very high bar.

Another game I've suddenly lost interest in. I refuse to support online-only single-player games. I await the announcement of a RMAH.
Edit: Love the tilt-shift, though.


Yeah Diablo 3 is as far as I will ever go for that arrangement and even now I'm wondering why...

Did they elect to not make it truly realistic looking? Will SimCity remain cartoony? I want to see this with photorealistic looking cities.

Looks basically like SimCity 2000, with higher graphics.

And I'd be quite happy with that.

They've only just announced the game, for crying out loud. Why would there be a gameplay trailer this early?


I agree. Sick of this whining about pre-rendering, EA, DLC, etc.

There is a dearth of fun yet deep strategy games on the market. I am absolutely thrilled to hear about this game. I don't care that they told us about the game before they want to show us gameplay footage.

I think the pre-rendered footage is actually valuable to get an insight about the design goals. More so than pre-rendered footage for an FPS type game.

I fell hard for SimCity on the Super Nintendo! IMHO this was the only Sim series game that played well on the console but I've always been a PC guy anyways.

"images not representative of actual gameplay"
Too bad.


Remember Dead Island's trailer?

I shouldn't even call it a trailer. These aren't trailers because they don't show anything meaningful. It's just high-budget concept art.
