I really don't care what it looks like, the game play is much more important to my enjoyment, but less to sales than eyecandy. Strange how this thread has changed from what it will play like to what it will look like....no wonder marketing is confused.

If it lets me have realistic traffic management (dramatically more so than SimCity 1-4), then I'll be happy. If it doesn't, then to them and to me buying it.<Reverend> IRC is just multiplayer notepad.

A preview is up:
he mere fact that you can now select and place all the buildings (rather than watching them spring forth from your zoning) sets the stage for a major metamorphosis.
Just great... they take the WORST feature from city life to replace one of the best features in SimCity
no pipes to lay, no power grids, no manual emergency-response funds to disperse, no individual building-funding.
This is both good and bad... My guess is most SimCity fans would hate those changes, but personally I'm happy that we don't have to lay those pipes manually... IMHO it didn't really add to the game
The game introduces six "social energies" (such as Wealth or Obedience) that influence your city's look and feel
Sounds interesting, but hopefully it wont be anything resembling city lifes take on this. But based on the preview it doesn't sound like it... If done right, this could be good
Sims (yes, they're using that term) will skip work if they're in a bad mood or start engaging in criminal activity
Skip work? How would they show this in the game?This space is empty... or is it?

Sadly, it probably wont match my expectations of roving squads of death guards and an ambiance of sims wailing in anguish.

The point of SimCity, unless you're simply idly playing it to pass time, is to build a *beautiful* city within the rather loose economic constraints the game imposes on you. I'm the first to demand more focus on gameplay than graphics in most kinds of games - I happily play roguelikes, for instance - but in SimCity, it's important that the game can make the city you worked hard on look beautiful.Call to Power 2: Apolyton Edition - download the latest version (12th June 2011)

Adagio, this developer quote is what freaked you out earlier:
This SC is not a realistic urban simulation, which I understand, to many, represents the heart of what SC is.

I thought a big city in SC2000 was awesome looking. Standards change.

SC2k looked awesome in it's time. I don't care for the realism and I have played all SC's and loved them. I don't mind good graphics, in fact while I don't care much for them usually, I want them in a SC game. But I never use the zoomed in function. It's the view of my city getting bigger and fluorishing I love so much.Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.-Isaiah 41:10
