i was so disappointed when they said they were discontinuing the series and this one looks so realistic and fun. i'm very excited.

How can the "NOT FINAL SOFTWARE" be actually BETTER than the "FINAL SOFTWARE"?!

Geeze I remember watching this video and being like "WWWHHAAT!! THIS LOOKS AWESOME!" Something must have happened during development. I'm not sure I've ever seen a game where the development footage looks way better than the final product. Don't get me wrong I like SimCity and the graphics are really pretty but my gaming PC eats this game for breakfast. They should have kept the original graphics...SO much nicer.

They just blured it when you zoom in and made it more colorful...That is all.

Gaming Buddie they also dropped the texture quality too. The user interface was also overhauled. It's little wonder Maxis was closed...AGAIN. We can kiss these IP'S goodbye. And honestly, seeing how rushed Maxis was I'm really not going to miss them. The Sims 4, once I tried it out, really was deserving of the criticism. No idea what happened...these games should have been instant hits. They had years worth of revisions to determine a "best in class" game.

Yeah, I played 76 effing hours of SimCity, because even though it is fucking terrible, it is (well after Cities Skylines releases) was the best city builder in this style. I never liked Maxis THAT much, I liked Sims 2 and SimCity 4 and 2000. Spore was terrible. Many things wrong with SimCity were Maxis fault. They did the gameplay that way NOT EA. They fucked up the path finding etc... I got to disagree with Sims though, Sims 4 are the best Sims game. Emotions make it feel natural, expansion is gonna allow you to control Sims at their workplace, it runs well (NOT 10 minute loading times like Sims 3). I have put over 50 hours into Sims 4 and I love it. The first 5 hours were "WTF IS THIS PIECE OF CRAP?" but after I really got into it I started loving it. The problem is that most people played it for an hour and wrote a review.

Gaming Buddie I wish I could like The Sims 4 but I can't bring myself to. The world is a pain in the ass to manage. Even though you can go places there's not much point to do so. Sims conversations are more expressive but they barely look each other in the eye. They had to patch in Sims saying goodbye to each other for God's sake. I really gave The Sims 4 a shot and I figured"oh these people saying it's boring are full oh shit!" Lo and behold I turned the game off last week and haven't even thought about going back. I really was bored, and after a few hours too many of schizoid Sims' wildly fluctuating "emotions" I think I had my fill. There's only so many patches that can revive that game I fear. Plus, all the little things that start to snowball would b FAR too many to list, before people jump all over my throat.

they did keep the graphics

why didn't you guys have larger maps? Everything else was amazing

I love the game, play it a lot and watching development materials I think main reason was simply that gameplay is focused on small but specialized cities. A lot of effort went onto multiplayer, region interactions, Great Works, etc. The scale is just different than people expected and focus is on other aspects of simulation than just map size. Unfortunately, most of players didn't appreciate the idea. Cities in regions are hard coded and very specifically, manually positioned in the region and populated with resource maps by hand. There is no randomness or procedural generation, as well as there is no terrain editor. The game design decision to have smaller cities lies in a very base of the game. Increasing city size even twice would just not work in the game mechanics or it would require substantial changes and refactoring to codebase, I'm pretty sure. That's why when people demanded bigger cities they couldn't deliver them in reasonable terms, or at all, considering that at launch game had many other bugs and issues. And then they just shut down the studio after a year. Personally, I love the game and I hope Maxis know that they created a fantastic game (after many gameplay and UI iterations, based on the early development videos). After all patches and DLC game is in great state, though has much more potential.

Still an amazing game, such a shame it had the launch issues. Yes, maps are claustrophobic and launch issues aside, it's darn addictive and I struggle to play Cities: Skylines because it just doesn't capture my attention as much as SimCity (2013) does.

the maps arent huge or you have never tried filling it all up,it just says that you have reached the limit of road you can put down like what is this shit?

The background music is amazing! I need this game now

Did anyone see that wind power plant with 122mph of wind?

I miss the old gui and also the grid you had when you build your city

This is the game I have always wanted Sim City to be. THANK YOU so much. Buying day 1 for sure!

Before the game came out, I would watch this non-stop. It's interesting to see the change from this version of the game before the final release.

i kinda wish that the wide zoning was still a thing, and well, a lot stuff!

OMG I love his amazing voice :D

Looks amazing! I've never played a sim city game before but I'll definitely buy this.

I can watch this over and over and over and over and over, i think you get the point, untill either the game or part 2 comes out

I hate that the cities are soooo small! I have to cramp everything together

The music is still unmatched. I mute the music of my Cities Skylines and just play Simcity 2013 OST in the background.

I've watched this a few time now and im really looking forward to it coming out. Can't wait to see part 2 tho

I have seen this video like 20 times! lol I can't wait for part 2

Recommended in 2021 lol

Props to the guy who made/commentaried this video.. amazing job bro

AWESOME!!!! I WAITED MY LIFE FO THIS!!!

This looks fantastic!

I saw this video and preordered the game. Can't wait!

Today, they announced that SimCity would hit retail and online stores on March 5, 2013 in North America... I CANNOT WAIT!!! I need more videos please!!!

This actually looks to be really good, more in depth than its predecessors.

So weird that the game is nothing like this. Love it. Been able to play for the last few days

I played the beta. I've never anticipated a game more in my life. This may well be the first game I preorder!

I agree, this one looks suspiciously better then what we actually got. I would love to play this version.

Its amazing to see this video and the leastest sim city 2013 video and see how much they improoved the game! (srry about my english)

i need this now i've waiting my whole life for a game like this i can't wait 3 more months

This actually helped me. Thanks!

OMG I CANT WAIT FOR THE FULL VERSION!!! OH GEESE OH GEES!!!

this looks amazing i cant wait

It is! So excited! :D

This game looks amazing. AMAZING. Can't wait for March 2013 to get my grubby hands on this.

just pre-ordered! can't wait

Didn't even notice they'd changed that but having played the full game now I totally agree that the zoning in this was loads better.

I have seen this video like 10 times cant wait for march 5

Can't wait to play this.

cant wait for it to come out :D

never been a fan but i am now i want this game already

You guys at EA Great job on this game! This is going to be one of my favorite games of 2013!

as soon as i heard him talking i knew this would be good

YES!! SO much win right there! :D

i like the whole train-table feel... it makes me feel happy like im commanding a living model

Preordered, cant wait :)

this looks so fun :D

just think how great it will be, when it comes out, I can't wait

Watching this after seeing Beta game play videos it's nuts how much the interface has changed in the past few months.

I can't wait for this came to come out. Please hurry! I can't wait any longer.

I've watched this over and over, when's the next one?!?!

LOVE SimCity... I bought Cities XL to hold me over until Simcity comes out.... its not the same.. there is something special about Simcity that makes it stand out from the rest. I CANT WAIT TO BUY IT!!

Awesome view, a must buy...

this game looks great cant wait to play it

can't wait to try this

This is amazing.

Man this is the tenth time I have watched this video plzzzz make another one

cant wait.. its too exciting :D

I love the way he said and how he said that he is going to dump the waste over here and hopefully his sims dont notice.

can't wait for it to come out

I've been waiting.

really looking forward to the release date! great demo!! the only thing that needs fixing @1:57 : the symbol and blue color suggest it's an "Autobahn". A "Bundesstraße" has yellow boards with black letters and it doesn't use the Autobahn symbol.

Boy I thought EA was totally gonna screw it up. But as a 16-year Sim City player (starting with 2000!) I can honestly say this looks really really cool, and I'm looking forward to... TODAY!!! Comes out today :D

Yes i know the feeling, Hurry up Tuesday. I was lucky to get the oppertunity to play the last beta, it made me want to play more. 1hr wasn't long enough lol, i did it lie three times lol. I've even gone back to playing Sim City 4 Rush Hour lol.

Just one more day! I am setting my alarm for 3 am Tuesday to jump on the game.

This is amazing

exactly what i wanted to be improved upon when i was playing simcity 4...and a whole lot more =)

Awesome!

i really love this game, carnt wait when it comes out :)

Well, that's nice. I just wanted a chance to use the "over 9000: meme. I'm satisfied now that you have provided the opportunity for me to take advantage of.

its so great to finally get a real simcity again

SO COOL!

Three days before my birthday, I know what I'm asking for :D

Yes, it will, they said that in the maxis live broadcast.

good to hear, im also having loads of fun with the game. most gamers nowadays are older than 11 years though, but its good to know they set a proper age limit apparently

the zoning had so much potential, you can see exactly where the buildings will go and how big they'll be, they could have just given you a bit more control in the size the individual zones are and be done with it but instead they decided to remake the zoning system so you don't have any control or idea where the building will go and how big they'll be

The Limited Edition/Collector Edition has London, Paris and Berlin city features such as tourist attractions (Efiel Tower, Big Ben...) public transport (red London buses) and if you have one of the city monuments in your city the build style will change to suit for city's monument.

i have been watching these videos to an unhealthy degree now

Woohoo - got an invite for the beta this weekend :)

I even heard that the Trinity Bay region has smaller town plots than what will come, and is a small region overall, they say some big regions can have multiple separate rail, highway, and water systems with up to 16 cities!

Oh. Thank you very much. I was so confused on the copies of the game.

OMG are they finally going back to residental, commercial and industrial as a single choice instead of the low,medium and high density... THANK YOU... I was NEVER a big fan of that low,medium,high options. Thank you

OMIGAWD I CAN'T WAIT.

In SimCity 4, you could specify like high-rises and such (basically, suburbs or big apartment buildings), same with commercial and industrial. But in direct to your question, no. In SC4, you could choose specific places like schools, fire stations, etc etc, but general residential and commercials; no. I'm not sure if any of this changed in SC5; in SC4 you could RENAME buildings, but maybe they added more in this update.

I really like the city specialization thing and the modules... in SIMCITY and also its buildings (its design) Especially at night and also its music( I really like listening to it) I hope Cities skylines adds city specializations(more specialization to choose) and its trading thing.... Right now Cities skylines doesn't really capture my attention as much as SIMCITY 5.../2013 Does...

March is crowded, but this looks amazing.

1. it is Possible to do a 90 degree angle: There is a little Curvy thing where he connected that moves in when the train is turning, and then moves it when it goes straight, and if it goes backwards is turns into another angle.

This well take forever! for part 2!

The interface looks much cooler and it looks much easier to use in this version than in the original.

i want it so badly... i cant wait anymore.

i honestly enjoy this game

Pumped, pumped.

omg new video soon either the 11th or the 18th they said next tuesday on facebook but that could mean either one soo excited!!!!!!!

oh thanks mate coz my laptop is shit but this game convinced me to buy it looks awesome.

cant wait

Reseidential, in fact all zoned buildings have to be placed on bigger or upgraded roads before they can become higher density for instance a two lane road can only support low density buildings (much like in real life)

EPIC!!!
