SimCity 5

[Maniacal]

Neo Maxis.

 

[GenMarshall]

Leave it to EA to turn gold into crap.

 

[trader/warrior]

Wow, crazy how consistently they can get wrong what people want out of this sort of game.

Next up: Building unlocks and plenty day one DLC's.

Decently priced like the Sims 3 expansions too.

Link to video.

That is all.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Hilarious!

 

[Leonel]

I'm very intrigued by the zoning that follows the road. I wonder how they'll be able to make convincing row houses etc.

It's gone from a love thread to a hate thread in 2 pages.

Can you buy an extra city?

That'll cost you 500 Facebook coins.

A vice versa

 

[Lord_Iggy]

When did they ever do the reverse?

 

[Save_Ferris]

Gold meaning money.

 

[Lord_Iggy]

Hahah, well they have done that well.

 

[PieceOfMind]

Well I'm not hating yet but I have my reservations about it. One thing I expect is that the marketing machine and the hype will be out of proportion with the reception of the game by players.

It's going to get it very very right on some things but take steps backwards in others.

A German site posted a presentation about glassbox by Maxis developers.
Here, scroll down for the presentation. It shows that you can use glassbox for more than just simcity.

Even if the game sucks, I just bought SimCity 2000 Special Edition in its wrapper for $.99. I thought it would just be a nice thing to have, but is there something that can make it run on my iMac?

 

[W|M]

Throw your Mac out of the nearest Windows and get a PC.

 

[Maniacal]

I'm sure he could sell it and get enough money to build a decent PC.

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

I assume this is all land, with large neighboring regions of commerce, industries, and utilities to maximize the residential areas?

I usually have tons of water.

Yes, a properly prepped one. It's not always possible, but even a decently laid out solo city can reach 200 000, its just all about the layout.

If it runs on DOS, try dosbox.
