Yes! We’re now covering news for other upcoming simulation titles – but don’t worry our main focus is still The Sims/Maxis games.
PCGamesN has posted a preview of the upcoming city simulator, Cities Skylines, and it looks like it’s shaping up to be a fun game.
To an unsuspecting bystander, Cities Skylines looks identical to EA’s own city simulator, drawing on same the clean graphical aesthetic, those same stylish data maps showing where you can expect ground pollution, how fast the wind is blowing and how property values are changing as you develop your urban sprawl.
Maps come with natural resources waiting to be dredged, tapped, scooped or harnessed: things like forests, oil wells and water, and your city will naturally benefit from and become centered around these resources. Connections to other cities are present in the form of motorways, airports, boats and trains, all allowing you to plug your city into the larger world around it. All, of course, in single player and without any requirement for an online connection.
