This just made my day...no, my whole week! I still play SimCity 4 on a regular basis. I really hope that EA doesn't mess this up.

I don't really like it's super-cartoony look, but we will see.

Doesn't look that cartoony to me.

Pretty cool that they revealed SimCity 5 in a german magazine. Not too surprising though considering that Germany has a very strong pc gaming market and games like SimCity or Anno sell very well.

[GreenLeaf]

holy woah! where the hell did this come from and why did i not find out about this earlier?! please let it be as good as sim city 4!

Mine are scratched to shit, but they still work thankfully.

I remember playing this for hours upon hours on end way back in 2005. On a Pentium III with integrated graphics and 256 MB of RAM, it was slow, and not pretty, but the game was just so damn GOOD.

Except for random bugs and the most nightmarish one of them all. The game hanging when you click "save". And your last save was two hours ago.

Is it considered piracy when you just download the iso and install it with a legitimate key?

I would think no. Since you do own a legitimate key so you do have proof of purchase.

[maurits150]

Just download simcity 4 and use your own key it's no piracy if you do that.

If torrents, yes.

No it isn't. You bought the game, you are entitled to it for life.

[ewitwins]

Oh! I completely forgot to mention,

PLEASE FOR MAXIMS SAKE BE REAL!

I'LL EVEN PUT UP WITH ORIGIN FOR IT! HONEST!

[inconspicious]

It had better have music by the same guy. It just wont be the same without it.

[Demache]

I just realized this but the original site for Simcity 4 isn't up anymore. Simcity.ea.com just redirects to the Facebook page.That sucks.

By using torrents you almost always automatically upload, which remains illegal since you're not the copyright holder. So yes, you're wrong.

[Demache]

Well at least they kept the patches up.

Considering EA no longer directly sell or support the game they can kindly go and fuck themselves, they get exactly £0 from 2nd hand copies so it makes no difference to them anyway.

I'm sure David Braben is really pissed that I torrented one of his games for my old Amiga... oh wait.

[phuwnaren]

FUUUUUUUUUUCK YES

[Crpto2007]

I loved destroying cities I built. They better have aliens, volcanoes, earthquakes and all that shit.

[Chekko]

Simcity 4 is fun, but I still find it really hard.

I'll probably get this, depending on how it turns out to be like.

I still remember the multiplayer SC4 game we had going on. Good times.

Can't fucking wait for this, excited as hell.

[Sega Saturn]

I think the pics on page one are concepts, rather than any sort of experimental alpha. If they do make the game, I hope it looks like the 3rd picture.

[trotskygrad]

scientology taking over your town should be an epic threat

[Lyoko774]

multiplayer?
how

[Nikota]

Will have no modding support considering that this is modern EA.

[cheesedelux]

Pictures tell us nothing. Societies looked pretty nice, but the gameplay was godawful terrible bad.

[Dlaor-guy]

What happened to Maxis anyway? Are they standalone now or just not doing anything anymore?

[Jimpy]

Can't fucking wait. But I know what is going to happen...

DO YOU LIKE TRAINS IN YO CITIES? BUY EXCLUSIVE TRAIN DLC!
YOU WANT EMPIRE STATE BUILDING? YOU BUY DLC!
YOU WANT BE ABLE MAKE LAKE? BUY DLC!

the sad thing is that this will probably be true

:sad:

[Shotacon]

This better be a sequel to Sim City 4 and not another Sim City Societies, with the ability to make mods.

Otherwise I'll just stick to my Sim City 4.

Also, Multiplayer..? I hope this is something to do with regions (If there even IS regions in SC5..)

[Lord of Ears]

please don't be like societies please don't be like societies please don't be like societies

They had better fucking get the last guy to do the soundtrack again.

For a second it looked like Halo.

Those were all core parts of the games, you can't just remove them.
