The cynic in me says 'micro-transactions'. Hats for your virtual sims.

This is EA, not Valve.
So, we will be able to purchase re-skinned buildings and cars?
What are the chances of a mod to increase the sizes of the city? Or are EA going to be clamping down on mods?
In the AMA, one of the devs said that part of the simulation is actually being offloaded onto EA's servers.
I'm not knowledgeable about computer science or IT, but is it because of EA trying to force us to play with others?
New screenshots are zoomed in. Those that do show the background, show empty hills. So I wouldn't get too excited about larger sprawling cities.
You can forget that you will do something like this. I doubt 1mln population will be achievable with amount of space in SimCity5
What is, in theory, the maximum population a city could hold in Simcity?
Oh, I don't know. Hundreds of thousands, in any case. Depends on how well you do it, and if your city is focused solely on residential (so you're packing nothing but apartment blocks in and doing everything else in other cities)

It might've been better if it was bokeh and not gaussian blur. It looks so unnatural and smudged.Horrible and cheap implementation of the DoF.
Got an e-mail reminding me that Jan 31st is the last day to pre-order this game on Origin if you want the $50 in savings (5 $10 vouchers to use on future origin games)
I need to order this game but ugh -__- Can't get over the whole origin thing... what if it somehow comes to Steam in the future and I regret spending my $80 on Origin >.<
Also kind of paranoid that this game is going to DLC and Expansion spam you to death just like The Sims 3 has done. I love new content but it's kind of a bit much.

Jeez man, if there is a God there will be an option to remove or dramatically tone down this shitty depth of field. I'm even wondering if I should add this to my "possible deal breaker" list. (which is sadly having a couple of elements already)
That won't happen unless EA dies. Origin exclusivity is here to stay for the foreseeable future.
Shouldn't it be possible to disable the DoF in the INI?
Possibly. Unless that is interpreted by EA servers as you having tampered with the game and as it's EA - ban you from playing the game.
Actually, don't they ban your whole account and every game you've purchased?
Edit: Where are all of these shots coming from, Pandemic?
Valve offers their games on Steam only, nobody cares. EA offers their games on Origin only, you guys can't shut up about it.

Love the tilt shift look.
I could watch these Gameplay Strategy Videos for hours, might get a PC just for this game.

You can adjust the filters and turn off the tilt-shift!
