Weekend Watch: A New SimCity is Coming

October 6th, 2012

I’m stoked that simCity, one of my favourite ‘games’ is being updated early next year!  I just hope that my laptop has the processor power to handle it 🙂

Official EA 2012 gameplay trailer for SimCity by EA Maxis. SimCity is an online city building simulation game from Maxis Studios. It is the quintessential city builder franchise that started a genre.

SimCity is back and bigger than ever with a new 3D world to create and control and multi-player to play with your friends for the first time.

From FastCo:

The newest version of SimCity, set to be released in February 2013, retains most of the game’s previous elements (including its addictive quality) while bringing a whole new level of complexity to the tilt-shift inspired world. You might not even notice how Maxis is subtly teaching you about the pros and cons of renewable energy, preserving natural resources, and cooperating with neighboring cities.
