This looks awesome. Absolutely awesome. Been waiting nearly an entire decade for a new, genuine Sim City game, great to see that one is finally on the way.

However, I most likely will still play this

But shame on that guy for that dumping.

I already look forward to recreating Hull in all its majesty.
Vercoe
Still getting this because it looks AWESOME.

Seriously? There's no offline mode?

You sure that's not Sim City Social you're thinking of?
Franck
There is. You'll need to have an internet connection to launch the game though, which sucks.
Apparently you'll be able to build a region in co-operation with others, which could be pretty cool.
Vercoe
That's pretty much what I meant but, yeah. Fuck EA.
Franck
Seems like you can keep a region entirely for yourself if you want to, which is a relief.
The European release is March 7th, I am incredibly tempted to make this my first game purchase in ages considering I've been waiting almost a decade for it, but man, some of the things said about it makes me doubt. It looks awesome in all the videos but knowing EA and their cuntish business practices I bet they'll fuck this up.

Hopefully it'll be a very good game and be addictive like FM.

It took them 10 years to release this after SimCity 4, unless this turns out to be a megahit I doubt there will be a new one coming out any time soon. SimCity is a franchise popular enough that the servers are likely to stay up for at least 5 years, probably 10 or more if there isn't a new game. By then I am sure 99% of the games buyers will have moved on to other things.
Anyway, if the day where they close the servers comes I am sure there will be a cracked version of the game that'll let you keep on playing.
Jason
But that's what most games do, for example FIFA 10's online servers no longer work, its only the massive games such as COD that keep their servers online, they just reduce the number of servers available for for the older games.

But I can still play FIFA 10. SimCity servers go down and you can't play the game at all
Franck
In 5-10 years when that happens you probably won't want to play the game anyway.
And you're ignoring this:
By the time EA shutting the servers down would be a reality, someone will have found or created a way to play the game without it linking up to them.
Out of all the things making me doubtful about this game, EA closing servers is just about the very least of them.

I'm more annoyed at the fact that I can't play the game whilst on a bus, where I still play SimCity 4 every week
