Looks like a missile testing range.

Crap! I was hoping to be able to target neighboring cities with it.

I believe that the missiles don't always hit their targets, though, and can cause some destruction in your city.

I found an interwiev with Maxis here

There's also at least one new screenshot on that site (I haven't read the interview yet... but on page two, they have a screenshot of a movie studio )

KH: We have a feature called SimCityscape that will allow people to cooperatively play with one or more cities. There are still many elements of this feature that are in discussion, so there’s not much that I can reveal. But it will be cool!

Now... this sounds nice (Hopefully they will make more MP support in the future... )

Oooh multiplayer!!

But cooperatvie with 1 city?

How could that work, one player builds a school, the other bulldozes it and builds a police station?

[Adagio]

Good question... We'll find out, when they release more information about it, or the game is released

Is that a car accident in the sixth picture?

[Adagio]

I believe it's two police-cars, who just cought a criminal (car thief maybe)...

I think it´s cooperation within a region. You can split up your region, with each player building one or more cities/villages, all interconnected. Very cool! This is currently the game I am most looking forward to. I hope it will not be too easy, Sc3 had too few negative influences, the socio-economic model was too optimistic.

Detailed Preview, Part 2!

SimCity 4 also offers the long sought-for opportunity to choose between several types of – for example – schools, hospitals and police stations. But these choices mean you also have to choose between varying standards, costs and different degrees of service. One of the greatest benefits from this is that you, the mayor, don’t have to see the same schools, hospitals and police stations everywhere in your city. During the gaming session at Maxis one could note that you can choose from as many as three variants of these buildings. Another surprising novelty is the possibility to rotate buildings before plotting them, an option applying to private buildings as well as public landmarks and rewards. By doing this, Maxis offers the player yet another opportunity to avoid these returning building duplications, thus guaranteeing a perfect gaming experience.

My reactions to the Sc4 previews are very similar.
