I wonder if they are going to incorporate 'Transect' type land use, rather than their original residential/commercial/industrial classifications.The one thing I will agree with is that the regimented block system did kind of suck. You would think after 3 variations, they would have made 4 so you could curve highways/roads.
SC4 is pretty cool and all, but it's just so incredibly dated at this point. Yes there are mods that improve it drastically, but it takes too much time to mod that game well. Every time I try to start a city now, I'm always like, "hmm... maybe I should find a mod for this" and then go searching for it for like an hour, along with others, and never get around to actually building the city.
Game will be loaded with micro-transactions. You want that new monorail to cut down on pollution? Better be prepared to cough up $5.
Just when I broke away from my multi year addiction to Sim City 4 an announcement like this comes out and makes me want to reload it on my laptop. :awe:
I can't wait, I really hope it is nothing like Societies. Will Wright isn't part of it so we will see how it goes.
Looks like Simtropolis has all the screen shots and translations from that German mag:

"To place a building, select the building with your D-Pad and press the A button."
Hopefully this will never go to consoles.
Why do I fear that SimCity 5 will come out half finished, and that I'll need to purchase about $50 of additional DLC in order to make it a complete game?
Oh, that's right... because it's an EA game that has the word "Sim" in it

This is awesome. Regardless of how the game will turn out, it can't possibly be worse than the cityXL games...
