SimCity 2012 Gameplay Strategy Video

by Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 10/05/2012 06:50 AM | source: | 12 comment(s)

One game that has been on my wish list list is the new SimCity. Check out the first look at gameplay as Lead Designer Stone Librande walks through the basic strategies and simulation of SimCity! SimCity is about endless choices. Ultimately you can do whatever you want, focus on growing your population, increasing wealth or even build a city that looks like your hometown. A video and some screenshots after the break.

Whatever your motivation, you have to the power to experiment with a number of different strategies. How you choose to play will influence your city, the neighboring cities and the lives of all the Sims across the region.

Looks amazing.

Liking no water pipes though, it was just a chore previously.

People are complaining about the small city sizes and lack of offline mode though, not too bothered about the last, but the first is a bit crap.

Still, cities interact way more than in any other game.

Speaking of money, I hope the game doesn't cost $60 at release.
