I wish I had never seen this game. I am already slammed back to hell with single player stuff I have to beat. I am hopelessly addicted to Unreal Tournament pre-alpha, DOTA 2 still dominates my mind and I just got into the Heroes of the Storm beta. Now this. I spent over 100 hours in Simcity 2013 so imagine what the hell I am going to do in this shit. I wish I was a robot.

This guy just hit 400k population and his city is looking ridiculously huge.

Oh man. Been working away for a week and was hoping to come home to an early release, or at least pre-load... At least we got an OT 
*Heads off to the first page*
That city!!!
Holy shit at all the space left FUCK YEAH!!!
OK cars leaning round corners is awesome, and a hearse just pulled up at a building and dudes wheeled a fucking coffin out to it. This game can't be real.

Oh my. Perfection. And so much free space too.
I love that the population count is realistic in comparison to so many other City building games.. the City is just about big enough to feel like a 400k city.. no BS like a small looking city having millions of citizens

Oh my god, this is ridiculous
The density, the scale... it looks so damn real. It almost looks like you could drop into it in 3D and explore it like it's a GTA game.
Holy shit, that City is huge.

How did this work in Sim City 4?
Yeah it's weird, but I guess it's the best solution.

Twitch being Twitch, lol.
I never thought the hearses would actually pick up coffins and carry them into the car
Same. I've watched maybe +13h of videos/streams and saw it for the first time here.

Roundabouts seem to be the go to traffic solver
Some amusing bugs as well:
This isn't a bug, it's a feature.

Wait til you see the Back To The Future equipped ones:
Is it weird that I find the fact that about half of those cars are hearses more alarming than one of those hearses being able to fly?

Many of the early streamers didn't quite understand how things can slowly spiral out of control in terms of sewage/water pollution, inadequete health care coverage, overloaded crematoriums/cemeteries, and poor traffic management. That gif was from one of those streams I believe as someone was desperately trying to find short term solutions. Plopping down a bunch of crematoriums and cemeteries wasn't the answer, lol.
I think it was something like:
* He didn't notice the sewage output was near one of his water intakes.
* People were slowly getting sick due to polluted water source.
* Because of poor road layout he had, it was difficult for people to get to healthcare facilities
* People ended up dying, causing the hearses to go out into the traffic-filled streets to try and pick them up.
* The hearses couldn't pick up the dead fast enough, allowing disease to spread faster starting a feedback loop of more buildings filling up with sick and dead people, overloading the cemetery/crematorium capacities
* People got fed up with that and started leaving the city in droves
* Streamer finally notices huge population drop and tries to fix things in any way he can think of, lol

I hope this game does well.

Psykoboy2's stream just got mentioned by Mariina (CEO of Colossal Order). Apparently she was watching you try to kill your city the other day.

I guess roundabouts are pretty common in Finland, home of Colossal Order? Not surprised they feature so prominently here.
I do hope they tweak the traffic patterns so the cars more consistently use more lanes. Might make the reliance on roundabouts less of an issue.

Roundabouts work, as it keeps the flow going. Traffic lights cause traffic jams due to shitty timing.
they already did that with a patch,just most streamers didn't start a new city which is why their pollution is still purple and not gray

It would be neat if they can get it so that cims can take alternative routes if they spot a traffic jam and can see an alternative isn't as full (i.e. I see a backup here on the freeway, let me take an earlier/later exit if I can still get to my destination from there). Of course, if you have a poor layout that could mean you end up with traffic jams all over the place instead, lol.
Was this Quill's zombie apocalypse?

Wouldn't that require them to recalculate their route mid-transit? Having them make more than one pathfinding calculation per trip might be pretty CPU intensive.

Whats the size of the download? I preordered it through GMG, waiting on key. I have the day off tomorrow and I want to be able to get into the game as soon as possible.

I think traffic lights would be more of an attractive option if you had some % chance that a driver doesn't follow the rules of the road. As is, unless there's a risk of a collision, traffic lights don't make any sense.

I think it is going to be pretty big.

Probably. But it would be neat as a high-end option/mod. For those of us with 4 or more cores and/or hyperthreading support, let us try to stress things.
You're fucking with me? You just sold me the game. If it is this damn detailed, I cant wait to see what the expacs will be like.

Thanks. Won't have to wait long at all.
