I would love to play SimCity Deluxe on the iPad, the tiny screen is harsh on my fingers when it comes to the iPhone 😀
After checking out SimCity Deluxe for iPad in person, though, it seems that the franchise has finally found a device that can do it justice. SimCity Deluxe for iPad uses the graphical assets from SimCity 4, so it looks gorgeous on the bigger screen. The biggest benefit however is the revamped user interface and extra screen space that allows for simple and intuitive controls. The content is largely the same as the iPhone version of SimCity Deluxe, with 7 starter cities modeled after real world locations, 7 scenarios with specific goals to work out, and of course the ability to start completely from scratch. An EA rep demoed the game for me and this video shows off a ton of the features in the game:
EA needs to get a proper UI designer… this app looks like it was designed in 2000… bleurggh!
it’s better than that Societies crap. fingers crossed for EA making SC5 in the next five or so years and EA making in house.
When exactly is this coming out for iPad? Definitely want to get it!
