We have been wondering how the game would play out. We have been teased with images of the game and now we can finally see how it plays. I have to say, the game is FAR more complicated than past versions, and I mean this in a great way. There is a lot of planning involved, and strategic choices must be made. The zoning of the city is actually amazing in how it reflects the real world. The complexity of this game actually blows my mind and I am extremely excited. Take a look at this video from EA.
The data layer view is extremely interesting. If you missed it in the video, there is a view in the game that allows you to view the flow of electricity and water, among other things. This isn't the simple game it used to be, this is where SimCity had always wanted to be, but couldn't achieve due to the limitations of computers.
Now, so far we have not seen anything about destroying your city with tornadoes, volcanoes, or other disasters, but after seeing how the game plays.. Why the hell would I want to destroy this city? Especially since you play against all other players. As this next video shows, you can work on cities with your friends. The multiplier is exactly what I want to see in a game like this, and it was something I was worried about.
The narrator said it best, it wouldn't be SimCity without disasters So it turns out we do get all the great fun of blowing up our cities. Maybe it will be cheaper than bulldozing?
Remember what we said in our last post, EA is giving out copies of SimCity FREE. The full game. Don't miss your chance.
