Picture doesn't show

And most SimCity fans agree, SimCity should not be goofy

I found a small video of SC:S here:

I wonder when we hear more about City Life 2

Well that video just made me more convinced that what I said earlier is true, that it'll be fine on it's own but the black sheep of the Sim City series.

I think it has come interesting elements to it. They've added more control on the part of the mayor. You can decide what building goes down as opposed to zoning.

I feel kind of shaky about the whole thing. I'm interested in the ability to maximize different societal energies though. I like that you can create an Orwellian city or a hippy commune based on what you invest in.

[Kuciwalker]

That's not how SimCity works, though. You don't place down specific R/C/I buildings, you zone for them.

Yeah, the control you have over the city's development has always been indirect. You only directly determine the conditions of it. The fact you can decide how large a city becomes in fact already is a huge (but necessary) compromise to gameplay. In reality the factors that decide a city's long-term growth are external.

They put a woman in charge of the game, that pretty much answers many questions.

Sigh, hopefully the game is highly moddable.


Can you imagine Civilization 5 directed by a woman?

Civilization 5: Families

War will be discarded as a redundant feature.
City Improvements will consist of shopping malls, yoga facilities, family planners.
Great Wonder: Oprah Winfrey Show
Only one way to win: First one to make friends with everyone and produce happy families

Umm... huh? What does that have to do with it?

I hope you never go into management, you'll end up sued so fast your head will spin

[FrostyBoy]

Have you seen the list of names on those who worked on The Sims before and after its release?

And I agree the people responsible for the Sims are women or highly effeminate men.

I agreed with Snoopy

[Unspeakable Horror]

Edit: Spaced, which one?

[DrSpike]

The sensible one I quoted, of course.
