    SimCity (2013)

    Releases in 2013

    The old Sim City was one of my guilty pleasures (along with the Civilization and Sims series') and this new iteration having multiplayer sounds freaking amazing! Can't Wait!

    (PS; I know another thread mentioned SimCity as far as internet connection, but it didn't go into detail)

    Sims Matter
    • The Sims in your city speak to you directly and it’s up to you to respond by completing pledges.
    • Unlock rewards and earn achievements by meeting your Sims basic demands, like providing water and electricity, but soon they will ask for better schools and bigger parks.
    • How you manage your city and the Sims living in it is entirely up to you.
    • Build hospitals for the sick and provide entertainment for leisure and your Sim population will grow and be happy.
    • Will you listen and be the toast of the town or abuse your power for fame and fortune?


    Specialize in What You Love
    • Create a unique city each time you play by specializing in a specific industry.
    • Build a casino resort and watch as your city becomes a major tourist attraction.
    • Invest in schools and become an educational enclave.
    • Or transform to a manufacturing powerhouse that fuels your region.
    • Watch as these specializations influence the look, feel and core personality of your city.


    GlassBox Engine
    • SimCity introduces GlassBox, the revolutionary simulation technology that gives you the power to impact individual Sims lives, manage city level simulation, and balance multiple city simulations at once.
    • Now every Sim has a purpose in the SimCity world, a home to go to, a job to work at, even stores to shop in.
    • Experience city level simulations including power, water, traffic, unemployment, taxes and much more.
    • Within a region of cities, attract new Sims into your city, compete for precious resources, and protect your Sims against disasters.
    • It’s city planning at an epic scale!


    Constructible Worlds
    • Immersive 3D worlds and tactile interactions give you the power to shape the city you envision.
    • Customize buildings to unlock additional functionality and offer additional gameplay benefits.
    • Experiment and place buildings in different locations and watch how it affects your city.
    • Play with new enhanced design tools like curvy roads and zoning to create the city you always wanted.
    • Complete missions to unlock better buildings and create the most impressive city in your region.


    Multiplayer
    • Work together with friends to build a region for the first time! The cities in your friends’ region will directly interact with each other.
    • Want to be a good neighbor? Send fire trucks to help your friend in an emergency.
    • Want to be a bad neighbor? Produce mass pollution and watch your friends’ Sims become sick.
    • Team up to share resources and accomplish great feats like launching shuttles into space.
    • Participate in global challenges like lowering the total pollution output in the SimCity world to unlock a trophy to place in your city.
    • Check regional and global leaderboards to compare your city with your friends.
    • Every decision in your city and those in your friends’ cities will impact the greater SimCity world.

        The "Sims Matter" piece sounds like what I deal with every single day at work as a community planner.

        People are idiots. "Sims Matter" isn't really a selling point for me. If they modeled it after real Americans, half of them would demand no new development, half the rest would be convinced you're either corrupt, stupid, both, or in the employ of the UN in a global plot to take their property rights, and the rest would demand billions of dollars worth of new schools, parks, shopping areas, and white table-cloth restaurants--just not next door. "Yeah, put it over there someplace: I want it, just not where I can see it from my house. Let it be someone else's problem. Oh yeah, and no traffic either!"

          Hah, except themselves. Your thoughts remind me of a song, Rand. Deconstruction's "America": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Rcs9D9jwmY Listen to the first lines.


          As for Sim City, I'm tempted to give it a try. I used to like it long ago (long ago), then kind of got bored quickly of newer versions. It would be interesting to give it a try just to see what they've put into it in the last decade, lol.

              February 2013... though it's strange because I see all kinds of pre-order advertisements all over the place.

                  Rico knows the score! Had hours of fun editing the paths that specific cleaners had to run to mop up all that puke.

                            I really miss the original on my SNES.

                            And I have no doubt EA is going to screw this up like, most, everything else they touch.

                              Now we have had a lot of flooding in this area and there are still a lot of houses that have not been repaired. Must be the apocalypse.
