The control logic for traffic and passenger transportation is an issue to be looked out for, thing slike what routes people, take, and where they chnage from bus to subway - or not, and why.

In the past, these were anything but near to "optimal".

Back From Simulation City: Inside Maxis’ Glass Box
Quite. :yep:

Hmm....it seems to be on the right track...it *is* EA though. My optimism remains cautiously guarded.

It does look kinda nice. :hmmm:

Thingy on Glass Box.

Mine is direct-er. :O: That's part of the reason I hadn't seen it.

You know what I would like to see? A Simcity game that started in the 50's or 70's and let you play until the 2020's or the like. A bit like Tropico, but in SimCity. I've always been fascinated with simulations that take you threw time(RailTycoon etc.).

It would be nice to start a city in typical 50's design, and watch as the buildings,cars, and utilities get updated as you progress.

We Take A First Look At: SimCity


SimCity To Be Crippled By Always-On: Let***8217;s Change This

Wonder what the second implies; simply launching it through Origin like it goes with Steam, or actually requiring an active connection.

If it's the second, I ain't touching it. I've been through that with Ubi, with SH5 and SC: Conviction. Usually it wasn't my connection that kept me from launching the game, but their services being down. I'm not paying them only to be locked out because of their screw-ups, or the misguided actions of internet "vigilantes".

If I pay them for a sevice, I expect a service, not an inconvenience.

The article tends to say:

and

Sounds like connection is required to play.

I believe a certain 'bay' will get plenty of visitors once this is released. Hopefully
they have enough docking space. :hmmm:

The article is pretty specific, yeah... still trying my darnedest to ignore it and pray for a mistake though. :yep:

Because surely this is a mistake, right? They wouldn't do this to such a long-awaited and anticipated sequel to a highly praised franchise. :-?

*remembers it was EA that made Syndicate into a shooter*

:o

We're screwed. :wah:

Hmm didn't CitiesXL do that exact same thing, and everyone hated it. I know the last thing I want is to be forced online. I don't like having to play with other people most of the time, and I really HATE being forced to.

I. HATE. MULTIPLAYER. ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't WANT to have a global economy, I don't WANT to impact the region. I don't want to have a neighbor city. Dammit, EA, can't you just let me continue to use video games as a way to indulge my antisocial tendencies?

no,no,no,no,no,no :nope:
Did they not learn a lesson from CitiesXL, where the online requirement was booted after some weeks? :damn:


It was perfectly fine in SC4, where you had your own cities as neighbors. Man, I want to dump my garbage into the neighbor town of "Trashville" while trading with my rural city "Redneckton" - don't want to communicate with some 12-year old kids to build my metropolis! :nope:

Son of a...

WHEN WILL YOU LEARN EA!!!!

:damn:

Mutually exclusive words...

Did I already say something about this that allows me to say "I told you so"? If not, pretend I did...

I have to agree with everyone else on the whole "Always Online" crap. Unless there is an offline mode(and a way to get it without Origin), I'm skipping this title.

Also, I don't like the fact your Sims will get a new job and a new house everyday.

No...when do you learn :O:.

And for the ones that still had any shred of hope...

So remember EA = Bad M'kay.

I don't think that they'll do that everyday, I think that they will go through a routine in that they will look for a new job and new house everyday, and if one is available to them they will take it depending upon their circumstances and that of the city around them.

Irregardless..always on DRM... :damn:
