~Kinggi~ · Mar 7, 2012

I will make sweet love to this.

Cipherr · Mar 7, 2012

Is any of this media in game shots?

Damn this sounds like its going to be great. Is the multiplayer limited to 2? If not, NeoGAF community will have to happen.

Relix · Mar 7, 2012

I will build a $5000 PC if needed just to play this in glorious 60FPS @ 1080p while I waste days on it. COME TO ME BABEH

Seanspeed · Mar 7, 2012

I've been playing SimCity3000 lately.

Damn I wish my PC weren't crap. Looks awesome

The Technomancer · Mar 7, 2012

Holy shit, I have wanted building customization since I was twelve years old

Busaiku · Mar 7, 2012

That's what I'm talking about.

The closest thing we've gotten to in-game images are these that leaked a couple of days ago:

Quadrangulum · Mar 7, 2012

Oh my gosh that looks wonderful.

LOCK · Mar 7, 2012

Holy crap if the game ends up looking like that, then wow it would exceed my expectations.

demosthenes · Mar 7, 2012

Multiplayer?! Awesome!

Can't wait to play this!

Combine · Mar 7, 2012

I am so happy to read all the positive reactions. I have eagerly been awaiting the day this project is finally officially announced!

Axalon · Mar 7, 2012

I want it.

Hcoregamer00 · Mar 7, 2012

Day 1, I will even get a rew rig for this game.

Surely you can save money by 2013?

Junie12 · Mar 7, 2012

Awesome, can't wait to see how this game will turn out!

Jasoco · Mar 7, 2012

So is there a release date yet? I can't seem to find one. And the site is acting wrong in Chrome with pages not loading and elements on the screen not showing up.

Are there Mac specs or is it Windows only for now?

The Technomancer · Mar 7, 2012

I've got a really good feeling about this. Of course the media they release in the upcoming months could change that but...damn...this is a great announcement.

Can we please stop the cycle of making a new non-subtitled entry every ten or fifteen years into a franchise though? Things are going to be very confusing two hundred years from now.

EatinOlives · Mar 7, 2012

Dat trailer.

Wasn't expecting that much awesomeness. I put on my headphones and the volume was pretty high already. A minute and a half later I needed a change of pants.

Tucah · Mar 7, 2012

This sounds pretty much like everything I could ever want from a Sim City game. Hype rising (although I should probably reign myself in for a year).

Multiplayer sounds great too.

Dragoon En Regalia · Mar 7, 2012

I find it genuinely difficult to comprehend how good those images would look in real-timesuch things shouldn't be possible, but you never know. PC exclusive SimCity, mancount me in.

Now they better localize A-Train 10 and do their part.

Brazil · Mar 7, 2012

I'm so happy right now.

Steaks · Mar 7, 2012

I am going to lose so much time to this game.

XiaNaphryz · Mar 7, 2012

Hopefully this one handles 4+ threads to help with performance for super large/dense cities. So far only Civ V has really taken advantage of 4-8+ cores.

Tiktaalik · Mar 7, 2012

I have no idea what to expect because the concept art in those slides looks nothing like the concept video.

Personally I'd rather have the colourful slide art direction.

bjb · Mar 7, 2012

My body is ready, fuck...

Rickenslacker · Mar 7, 2012

-Deadpool- · Mar 7, 2012

So hyped for this.

Seems so far away.

lethial · Mar 7, 2012

YEEEESSSSSS

Emitan · Mar 7, 2012

Tilt shift is fucking cool. Never played one of these before, so I might buy this.

Boss Doggie · Mar 7, 2012

ALL OVER MY FACE!!

Also judging by that one screenshot, it seems we're not limited to tiles anymore yes?

Dunan · Mar 7, 2012

Looks amazing, but... no Mac version!? I played the heck out of the vanilla original and then SC2k on my family's old System 7.1 Mac Quadra, and it was the best-looking of all the SC2k versions, mainly because of the Mac's timeless UI (Chicago and Geneva fonts in particular).

Please tell me that this oversight is going to be rectified

and that it'll run on 10.5 and that I won't have to upgrade to Mountain Lion or whatever they're calling OSX by next year

!

SleepingInsomniac · Mar 7, 2012

:|
Im so excited even though maybe I should be more cautious. I played so much SC4 and recently got back to it. With mods its so great but man, the game is so unstable and crashes a lot on me. I actually want more complexity and Im still not sure which direction theyre going with this one. It does give off a tiny bit of Societies vibe and that would suck so much

.

ctrayne · Mar 7, 2012

This is cool, but isn't it a little weird to call it just "Sim City"? I get this eerie feeling they are calling it that because most people nowadays think The Sims came first...eww

And of course, wouldn't want to call it Sim City V because numbers scare people.

Whining aside, awesome to see this happening.

ZombieSupaStar · Mar 7, 2012

ORIGINAL MAXIS!? THE ORIGINAL MAXIS!?!

*faints*

Radec · Mar 7, 2012

I hope someone can re-create Dubai with that.

CharliePants · Mar 7, 2012

Game sounds amazing. Hopefully we see some in-game footage (or even screens) soon.
