Still think sim city should have stayed 2D like back in the day.

SimCity 3000

No Will Wright, EA in control and a studio that spend most of it's time the last few years churning out The Sims expansions... I dunno.

YOU DON'T CRUSH MY DREAMS OF A DECENT SUCCESSOR TO SIMCITY 3000/SIMCITY 4, YOU SHUT YOUR MOUTH RIGHT NOW!

Sorry.

I'm hopefull though. Proper city sim would be lovely. I've tried that CitiesXL thing, but... just doesn't scratch the itch.

There's something wrong there but I can't put my finger on it.

Expecting much, no. Hopeful, yes. There's a difference.

We already have Simcity 5, it's just called Simcity Societies.
http://www.ea.com/simcity-societies

After that blunder, I have zero hopes for the new Simcity game.

Hell they broke the Sims franchise with the Sims 3. While it did add some innovative stuff, 90% of the new expansions are bug riddled glitchy messes that get churned out every 6 months. Each expansion barely fixes any of the previous bugs(unless they're game breakers) and then adds a plethora of new bugs. If it's the same team, you shouldn't get your hopes up.
