Any good prices around yet?
There already is, sadly its on console and I do believe its the Nitendo 3DS.
Seriously looking forward to this rather liked Sim City 3000.

As suggested by people on here already there will be lots of DLC and the main game will be dry without the stuff you need to buy, EA are disgusting and have bought up all the popular hardcore following games so they can bleed us dry, I would happily buy DLC if the game was free and I thought it was worth it but now it you are expected to pay around £30 for the game and DLC can take it way past £100, where is Watchdog when you need them?
Before someone screams "you don't have to buy it" I know and I wont be but I feel sorry for those who played/loved the original series and are now being drained because of their love for nostalgia.

I find EA, as a company, is somewhere in between Blackwater and Goldman Sachs in terms of my opinion of them. They are an ugly beast that slithers over the gaming industry, consuming decent companies, digesting them into charmless game farms for the sole purpose of a quarterly 5% share price rise. They represent the very worst of capitalism and at the very least, deserve a class action lawsuit and to testify in front of Congress to admit that their insatiable appetite for steriodal growth has led to thousands loosing their jobs unnecessarily.
Rant over!

Idiots, perfectly good concept and engine, ruined by the scale of it ( everything is super sized!) and the social bit of it.
I hope for an open source remake of SC4, that uses modern hardware to its abilities, is stable, and supports the same mods (format) as sc4...
If SC4 was only stable, used multiple threads and more ram, then it'd be great!

looks pretty good, after reading through all this thread i was like "NOOOO They've ruined another SimCity" but the video seems pretty good, the all time internet connection is going to be annoying but we will have to wait and see what they actually do,
as mamy have mentioned the price for this game is ridiculous, especially the deluxe edition, which in my opinion your not really getting anything extra apart from some different styled buildings
if i do end up buying this game ill go for the cheap version, which is still stupidly expensive, Thanks EA!

oh man so many wasted days on that epic game! would love to see it in Dx 11
I loved SC3000, may reinstall it actually
Same here, I never liked SC4 as much, but keep replaying that one instead of 3.
Sup Com had a 3rd party app that let it use dual+ core processors so it can't be that big a job.

Simcity4 was almost unplayable for me, crashed all the time, very slow etc. Seems the faster my computer got, the more it crashed... Yet SC2000 still works fine! lol.
Did you force it to run on one cpu core? It's known to crash if running on mutli cores. And more Hz won't speed it up, badly coded.
What is with the crazy over pricing on this game? Around £37 at places like Amazon for the limited edition version (though there doesn't seem to be a non limited edition, so we should just call that standard). £45 at Origin or a whopping £65 for the digital deluxe version which gives you some European cities...
It wouldn't be so bad, but you know EA will spend the next few years meleasing tons of DLC for even more.
