SimCity 4! - Page 2

Jaguar · April 6, 2002, 22:01

It sounds great!

My queue of games to buy:
SMAC
Zeus
SimCity 4
Possibly 1602 AD

I'm gonna get maybe one of these this spring, and then the other two/three during the summer where I have more time to waste.

Lonestar · April 11, 2002, 23:55

I see I can add SC4 to my list of "Stuff that I intend to blow my money on".

ixnay · April 12, 2002, 00:01

Sounds good... I just might have to pick this game up...

Adagio · April 12, 2002, 02:59

Yeah it sounds good if they will finnish the game, but I wont be suprised if the game ends up like Simsville

I'm still waiting for that game to be released

Can't see the pictures, the site is down for unkown time...I want to see the pictures.

Dis · April 12, 2002, 03:15

I will not play unless they have strip clubs and maybe brothels

Adagio · April 12, 2002, 03:44

Here's more sccenshots: http://www.gameport.cz/r-art.asp?id=...815&t=gameport

And no...I have no clue what they're saying about the game

It looks really promising...

Let's just hope they don't make the same mistake as in 2000 and 3000: Houses chance each month into some other house...

But I really like the canion (sp?) picture

Wasn't Simsville canceled?

Urban Ranger · April 12, 2002, 08:44

I was waiting for it, but The Sims came out instead. *retch*

Wow, they've finally got cliffs and canyon bridges!

They took them bloody long enough.

YES! I've been waiting for this for... forever!!!

Mr. President · April 12, 2002, 20:56

I agree the new features look pretty cool, but I wonder if it's really that different overall. Sometimes it seems like they're approaching the upper limit of what computer games can do.

stadler · April 12, 2002, 21:20

Looks good.

BTW Simsville was cancelled. Apparently it became too similar to ideas they've got for The Sims to make it worthwhile.

Zkribbler · April 13, 2002, 00:04

The rich areas of the cities look great with their rooftop gardens, swimming pools and tennis courts.

The slums look depressing.

The tornados and volcanos look cheesy.

Sarxis · April 13, 2002, 03:34

All I want to know is:

WILL THERE BE ARCHOLOGIES?!?!?!

Yes, it was cancelled, but I'm still waiting for the game, or the beta, they did finnish 60% of the game, and I would defently like to try the game to see if the cancelling was a good idea or not, I believe they made a mistake in cancelling it just to finnish Hot date to the sims

And it seems like there's 4 different types of richness: Very poor (Can't afford posters and such), poor (Can afford posters and such), normal (Can afford better posters and such), rich (No need for posters to make money)

Adagio · April 13, 2002, 15:27

I found an translation for the page. Usefull = No, Funny, some part maybe...Anyway, here it is:

Electronic Arts today surrendered prime sincerely screenshoty out of newly neoficiálnì signification Sim City 4! Readily upozoròuji, that this once to uneatable within none dripping April fish .

Alas, tidings within Sim City 4 meantime stilly nejsou available within žádné knuckle oficiální sort, takže within somehow hither particulars si budeme need stilly while let me see ...

Just curious, what is an uneatable april fish?

tandeetaylor · April 13, 2002, 15:44

I can't play SimCity because it wouldn't be much of a game if there were 0 taxes and everything was privatized.

I think you may be waiting a VERY long time to see that beta.

Me want the game now

Colon™ · April 24, 2002, 09:41

*BUMP*

Has there been any more info about SC4? Or official statements from EA or Maxis?

Adagio · April 24, 2002, 09:45

Not that I know of, but I'd sure like to hear something official about it, has anybody heard anything yet?

Sava · April 26, 2002, 07:39

I hope they make the roads a little more realistic. I'd like to see different sizes of roads, not just the 1 lane or useless 2 lane in SC3K. It would be cool to design a winding suburban subdivision, or a massive 7 lane highway.

Jonny · April 26, 2002, 22:50

I haven't heard anything else new, all web sites that talk about it refer to the Computer Gaming World arcticle.

ixnay · April 29, 2002, 21:04

New preview on gamespot!

http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories...863198,00.html

There's a bunch of interesting sounding things in there.

"In SimCity 3000, you'd put out a fire by simply placing the right icon on the burning building, but we want to give the player an immediate sense of gratification in SimCity 4." That means you'll actually see the fire trucks leave their station and make their way through traffic to the location of the fire before putting it out. Of course, if you've mismanaged your roads and left your fire engines without any possible way to reach the inferno, the fire will rage on.

If you can get a demo of 1602 AD, play it before you buy. 1602 is difficult at best to play without cheats.

I may be mistaken, but I am fairly sure "april fish" is their equivalent(sp?) for April Fool's Day pranks/jokes.

Jac de Molay · May 1, 2002, 15:34

Looks good and sounds like they brought some of the element I missed from Sc2000, especially concerning manipulation of various industries.

I belive SC 4 will be a great game, as is 1, 2, and 3 was/is.
