I didn't feel like necroing the older thread, if there was one, so enjoy this new one.

Basic Information


Digital Deluxe Edition - Only Available on Origin
As well as all the great content in the Limited Edition, the Digital Deluxe includes three European City packs. Recreate European inspired neighborhoods in the center of your city! Place world renowned landmarks including the Eiffel Tower, Brandenburg Gate or Big Ben to help your tourism business in your city. Receive exclusive missions, complete unique achievements and earn big bucks as waves of Sims visit the landmarks. Watch as the businesses, homes and vehicles around your landmarks start to take on the flavor, style, and architecture of those countries.

Signature Landmarks
Be the envy of your region by placing exclusive landmarks to give your city district a fresh new look. Sims will visit your city to see the beautiful wonders.

Change in the Streets
Watch the streets, homes, businesses, and vehicles around your landmarks start to take on the flavor of those countries.

More Ploppables

Game Features
The defining city simulation is back! Create the city you desire and make the choices that shape your city and power the Sims within it. Every decision, big or small, has real consequences. Invest in heavy industry and your economy will soar—but at the expense of your Sims’ health as pollution spreads. Implement green technology and improve your Sims’ lives while risking higher taxes and unemployment. Team up with your friends to solve global challenges: launch a space shuttle, reduce carbon emissions, or build magnificent wonders. Compete on global and regional leader boards to be the richest, the dirtiest, the happiest or the best place to visit!

We made the decision to focus on the soul of the city and let players control the greater landscape than the individual Sim.

This looks pretty cool, anyone know how much it will cost?

Holy stuff, that looks cool. I'll definitely get this.

They are thinking of going anti-Origin.

Now my interest in this game has shot up 1000%.

Edit: That's the maxis I knew and loved.

I can't wait to buy and play Sim City V next year. I hope a lot of cool disaster tools has been added.

then that means it should be on steam :Dyay

then that means it should be on steam :Dyay

I think they are going anti-DRM altogether.

Besides, I can't really use steam due to our data usage cap, so anti-DRM is a nice touch.

Anyways, they are adding a multiplayer mode. You can cause neighboring cities to hate you forever.


Looks great. I only ever got Simcity3000, so pretty much any version of the game which isn't from the 90s makes me happy.
If it's not too pricey, I might just get this.

I don't think they're going anti-drm. On the TGS podcast, they said that it requires an active internet connection, even for singleplayer.


im not a cheap person, but i dunno if i wanna throw 70 dollars at a game ; ;

Time to make a huge city then destroy it with disasters!

they said that it requires an active internet connection, even for singleplayer.

forget that stuff.

im not a cheap person, but i dunno if i wanna throw 70 dollars at a game ; ;
Agreed
70 is a little too much for a game imo.

This better make up for SimCity DS.

It's looks frikkin sweet so far.
