SimCity 4

[Sarxis]

There is a random terrain generator in this one, right? I heard something about a 'couple' region maps included, but can they still be randomly generated with all the sliders and stuff?

[Adagio]

I haven't read anything about it, but I assume it'll be in, though I don't know if I'll be using it anyway, since I like (the sound of) the region stuff

[Az]

It must be in. It would be a real shock if it lacks it.

Btw, IMO, Arcologies SUCK.
there I said it.

8 days til release

I guess this will be the last new screenshots we'll see before the release:

And about the release date: (quote from SimCity Central)

We all know that SimCity will be released 14 January in US/CAN. But what about Scandinavia, and the rest of Europe for that matter? I did some checking on various online stores and almost all of them had 16 January set as the release date. So don't worry folks, at least I think the wait is acceptable!

As for prices they vary from $45 up to $50, not to shabby. In about two more weeks we'll all be playing SimCity 4 like crazy!

They were kinda neat because it gave you a sense of future tech and society, but really were a game breaker.

I'd settle for monorails, bigger skyscrapers, subterranean buildings, arcologies or anything that makes it continue to feel like a growing and changing environment. Reaching 2002 and then getting stuck in freeze frame except for a couple of new power plants is something I hope won't happen. Not long now till we get to find out. Yay!

[Adagio]

Yeah, not long til I find out, if my computer can handle the game... Let's hope it can...

This looks like it'll be worth buying a better comp for, though.

You want to lend me some money?

I have already found the things I want to upgrade my computer with, but I don't have any money
