Anyone think this is going to be any good? I've really enjoyed SimCity 3000 and 4, but looking at the Wikipedia article (I know, not always the most reliable), I'm not sure I'm all that impressed with the new ideas of gameplay.
From Wikipedia:
Quote: "Societies will be a 'social engineering simulator' rather than a city-building simulator. Public works will not play a part in the game. Transportation networks will be simplified to dirt roads, paved roads, subways and bus stops. Players will not be able to build zones, a key element of past SimCity games, but will however have the ability to directly place individual buildings, something not seen in previous editions. There will also be six "social energies" which will allow players to learn about the characteristics of the citizens. The six energies will be productivity, prosperity, creativity, spirituality, authority, and knowledge.[9] The city will look, and act, in accordance with the energies the players choose."
Not sure I like that idea at all, especially the stuff about transportation. I've always loved creating elaborate transportation networks in my cities. I guess I'll stick to SC 4 for now. I was about to preorder it from Amazon, but this is making me wait.
