Can someone aware me on Origin? I don't have any experience with it, but have been looking forward to a new simcity for some time now. Sounds like I'll just have to use illicit means!

Not too happy about the simplicity of some aspects of the game, but it looks like they dropped that to give more attention to customization and to better play with other friends online.

Not going to buy it from Origin nor pay for DLC.


They want to go back more to the complexity of Sim2000 as far as I remember, SimCity 4 was really bloated and I hated the water system, placing pipes everywhere and stuff. I didn't really enjoy that.

I just bought FIFA13 and BF3 last Week and am now forced to use Origin - so if EA continues their Origin-Only way, there is no way to avoid it. I just a terrible future, if you have to use a Client for every publisher. Best thing would be if Origin and Steam would merge, but thats not going to happen...

The video looked good, but I hate all this Online-Only thing for nearly all EA Games. Mass Effect 3 MP and the intregration in SP was a joke and I bet it will be the same in SimCity.
I bet you will be forced to trade with your "Online-neighbor"-Cities etc...

Are BF and Fifa really worth it? It's only really good games that are worth it for me. If Blizzard made a "Steam" I would get it for SC2, but for Fifa? No way!

When you think of it, the only advantage with these kind of clients are convenience (for customers at least). If they pull the plug on the clients you'll basically lose all your games even if you have paid full retail price for a game. The "best" thing would be if people actually came to their senses and stopped using steam and origin all together and just go the gog route and such.

If you want to play Skyrim, Civ5, Borderlands 2 and many more you are forced to use Steam! People will do nearly everything to play a great game. You can't stop it. I'm OK with Steam now, but I hate to have like 5 clients installed for every damn Publisher.
Publishers want control, they want to see what, when and with whom you play.

I hope Maxis doesn't dumb down Simcity 5, thats the trend lately for many games.

There are airports.
Subways were replaced with trolly trains.

Is there a source that there will be airports? Even if there was... I don't see how it makes any sense at all considering how they want the cities in the region to share the International Airport (that means all the cities are in relatively close proximity, making other airports absolutely useless?)

You can't replace a subway with a streetcar (trolley train) -__- Subways moves significantly more passengers than a streetcar and not to mention, they're significantly faster without having to delay traffic.

What there are no subways in SC5...? Hope Maxis is not turning this into SimCity Societies.

As sort of annoying as water-pipes were, I wish they hadn't just taken them out. And why take out subways?

This all just makes me want to play Sim City 2000.

The new engine doesn't support those type of underground mechanics.
The removal isn't all that bad, it allows for more focus on the supply and demand aspects of your cities.

Anno (esp 2070 is a great game)

compared to SC4 yes this new SC is of a lower depth.
However, with glassbox we are getting a true simulation.
SC2000 is a better comparison to SC 2013

What the hell, why doesn't the game support an underground layer? I guess it that's why it routs all the utilities stuff through roads. Please though, after ruining Battlefield and C&C this is the last franchise EA has left that I enjoy ;_;
When SC2 came for BW, I cried. Now LoL/Dota2 comes for SC2, and I laugh. \o/
