SimCity 5 announced

[Dark Drakan]

​

EA and Maxis have announced at GDC that a new SimCity is on its way driven by Maxis' new engine, GlassBox.​

For the first time in SimCity franchise history, players' decisions will have long-lasting repercussions that will extend beyond their city limits. Together, players will address real global challenges such as climate change, the search for renewable resources and natural disasters. It's up to the players to decide whether to compete or collaborate to shape the world of tomorrow -- for better or for worse.​

​

We'd like to thank the millions of fans who have helped make SimCity synonymous with the city-building genre. This is a franchise that means the world to us at Maxis and we're happy to be bringing it back home where we are reimagining it for an entirely new generation of players.​

​

Using our proprietary GlassBox Engine, SimCity for PC will equip players with the tools to play the most sophisticated simulation of its kind. We are dedicated to making sure the experience -- no matter the platform -- has the fun, flavor and playability that has been intrinsic to the franchise since its birth.​

Hmm, haven't played a city simulator in 10 years, this could be very interesting. Always heard good things about the series, but never got around to playing it much. Hopefully they release a demo for it so I don't have to take a chance based on reviews and videos.

I played the original on the Amiga and had a little go on SimCity 4 a couple of weeks ago on PC which I have lying around as someone gave it me and they can be quite addictive.
