I played the **** out of Sim City 2000 on PC/PS1. Loved that game.

 

[pantskyle]

Ahhh memories.

That cityscape in the last pic almost looks like Mirrors Edge.

Shut up and take my money

I've been going through a SimCity 4 phase recently myself so I'm extra pumped to see this.

If those are true screenshots, then that means the roads and zones don't function in a grid-like fashion, which is fantastic for flexibility and structure. That and better graphics is all it really needs as an upgrade on SC4.

I'm excited.

Shut up and take my money

This.

God this game was fun back in the day, loved creating cities and then destroying them (who didnt?!). This release cant come soon enough.

Awesome news ... shame its still another year out though

Looks like a grid to me Eth. Maybe more than just squares though, octagonal perhaps with a smooth and fill function for greater creativity.

Anyway looks boss. Will have to upgrade my pc for this!

It better not be crap like the recent ones.

I always go out with the goal to create Melbourne in every single exact detail possible, starting with my house.

About 30 mins to an hour later from starting I've destroyed the entire place with UFO's, Earthquakes and Tornado's. I'm a terrible god.

I just always get...bored of the creation aspects, they were always so rudimentary feeling in Sim City 2000 (as advanced as it was touted at the time). The systems going by that very limited detail article though could be something to keep it interesting.

 

[HBK619]

Officially announced. Back to Maxis as dev.

 

[Kcrack]

Awww yeah!

I ended up doing Urban Design and Planning at uni... I blame simcity 2000 entirely. I bought 4 4 but didnt like it... I may get this one! I hope its better!

 

[d0gs]

I cannot wait to destroy so many cities on this game. Hurry up release!!

 

[woopedazz]

For the OCD in all of us.

Hope I can get this overseas. Germany has a crap load of annoying laws meaning many games, music is unavailable here.
