Cool beans..SimCity4!! (12pix)

they finally brought the series to 3d.  I remember reading the creators wanted to make Sim City 3000 in full 3d but the decided against it because at the time most people didn\'t have the necessary pc power to fully appreciate it but on where 1Ghz is the norm there was nothing holding them back.:smokin:

Ummmmmmmmmmm...while the game is in 3d (at least the models are), the game still has fixed cameras similar to the ones in SC3000. So, no street level view.

All well, still a great looking game.

Other cool things I hear about the game...now, streets and pipes could be automated by the computer. Now, you could turn the automation off, but it is there if you want.

Day and Night is done in real time. The Sims addition, only limited to 5, and all they do is give you what they feel in the neigborhood they live in.

As for the other cities in a given area, well, if you are in one city, as time goes by, the other cities times are also going by. So, my assumption is, either you won\'t be able to control the other cities :(, or you can work with them, but the cities you are not working on, will be neglicted for a given time unless they are automated (like streets and so forth).

Oh, and one last thing, now food needs to come from somewhere, in order to feed your sims (farming communities, marinas, and so forth). More realism. :D

Are there any plans for a PS2 release?

Yeah, it says on their website ps2 as well.



There really doesn\'t seem like much advancement though besides better graphics.  There website has some good details.

No release date though. ANyone know the date?

Well, if you have read my post, there are a lot of advancements in terms of gameplay. ;) Also, there are now different modes to play in. God mode (control land, disasters), Sims mode (see how well the sims are doing in the city), and of coarse, city building mode.

Although I\'m not sure about that PS2 version thing. The only Sim game that I know that is coming to the PS2 is The Sims. Not Simcity.
