If this game is online only, I'm not buying it.
Pretty sure that'll be my final position on the matter as well, it's another Diablo 3 waiting to happen...

Online only sounds pretty lame.
Maxis' Vice President Brett Barry says that an always-on connection is necessary due to SimCity's "asynchronous multiplayer experience," as demonstrated by the Glassbox visuals system.
"The city is always simulating," he told us. "People are always moving about. Construction workers require time to put up their buildings, people move about, they might go to work, or they might decide to skip work and go to the park one day just like people in a real city. And just like a real city, we wanted to have players from other cities help you out, just like what might happen in real life."
Not sure if I like this.
Maxis Explains Why SimCity Has Always-On Requirement

This is what bugs me. EA doesn't seem to like running their servers for more than 3-4 years. I'm certainly not going to pay $60 for a game with an uncertain future.I really do not like where this is headed. Online only games can kiss my ass; I simply refuse to buy a product that won't work down the road when the company no longer profits from running the game servers.

Right...or one where hackers can grab your online account and [strike=""]leave you naked[/s] destroy your virtual city,
This 3D Accelerator required shit is getting pretty lame.

lol I said this exact line 3 months before I bought a Voodoo3 3000 PCI.This 3D Accelerator required shit is getting pretty lame.

Saw this at E3.. it looked pretty cool. Soon as I found out about the Online only I let the developer and all the reps know that they were fucking stupid and I was no longer interested.
I don't care about the "always online" requirement as long as there is a single player mode. I want to build my own region, with my own cities. Though I could see myself having a good time building up a region with friends and family. But randoms online? HELL NO. There is way too much time required to build a good city/region, and the last I need is some 12 year old shit ruining it all because he thinks its fun to make others miserable.
it's a stupid analogy anyway, since the real problem is features they're taking away, not anything new being added.
Why does this sound like Facebookville
Have graphics representative of the actual game been released yet? I hope the E3 demo was just concept art because it looks awful. What was funny was the brief moment when they showed a monster destroying the city and they had to print "Not representative of actual game play" on the bottom of the screen. I'm a huge simcity fan but this latest version is looking so disappointing.
games not due til 2013 so they are still in the alpha stage. right now i think they are spending more time on the engine algorithms and base code before really diving into the graphics part. they have posted a few video's showing how its all going to work together. as far as all the game video's and E3 demo they are cgi recreations not using the game engine.

First up, we revealed the first details about the all-new SimCity World feature designed to keep you connected with both your friends and, yep, the world. Whether it’s competing or collaborating in Global Challenges, checking your spot on the leaderboard, buying/selling resources in the Global Market, or keeping tabs on what your friends are up to with CityLog, SimCity World really pops the notion of isolated cities living in a bubble. If you want to learn even more about how SimCity World works, we got you covered - check back here next week for a detailed commentary from the Maxis team. In the meantime, take a look at the sweet new Gamescom trailer to get a first-hand look at SimCity World.
Sorry to say, but there are too much fail assumptions here.
Well, if it is anything like the Mass Effect 3 day 1 DLC, it'll cost $10 if you don't buy the deluxe edition.Lol as long as the heroes and villains are a fun cosmetic feature i'd be in for it. @ 99cents.
EDIT: thought he was joking, but i guess its a real DLC.
ehh being a huge sim city fan since the early days.. i really, really want this game to be great. however, i have my doubts.
i realize it's early yet, but it just seems very.. fisher price? fat and clunky, like that last garbage sim city game. i don't want to place individual buildings. do this right, god damnit! back to ze roots!
