Wow, just hearing about this... Simcity is one of my all time favorite franchises.
The trailer scares me a bit though. I really hope the basics are in-tact - I want to various levels of residential, commercial, and industrial zoning; complete control over taxes, city ordinances, and government funding; I want a full transportation and traffic simulation with at least as much detail as SC4: Rush Hour had with various road types and public transport options. I think multiplayer could be interesting but it speaks to me like something a much shorter simpler game of simcity would have - spending hours upon hours laying out my city in real time synchronously with another player doesn't seem likely (especially when you start factoring in pausing and speeding up time).
Graphics look great though and I'm glad they're apparently keeping some of the zaniness that's always been in the games.
