A beta for SimCity is coming next weekend, and Maxis is accepting sign-ups for it now. It will feature a "one hour slice" of the game.
If city building games can be spoiled, then you have been warned. Past the break lies the first few minutes of the new SimCity.
SimCity lead designer Stone Librande explains why you can be down in SimCity, but never truly out.
EA's banged on about how urban planners will be able to connect cities in SimCity, and now demonstrates that nicely in a new six-minute video. Each city can hook up with neighbouring cities, run by you or your chums, to import and export resources like electricity and policing, or just to be friends I guess.
SimCity lead creative director Ocean Quigley walks through the new features coming to the next SimCity game.
If you were thrilled by the recent lenghty demonstration of SimCity or the peek at its disasters, head on down to the shops now, buy a 2013 calendar, and draw a big heart around March 5. That's when Maxis's city-building sim will launch, see. It was previously slated to arrive in February.
SimCity's new "Disasters" trailer shows just how wrong everything can go if you're not adequately prepared.
Like previous entries, the upcoming SimCity will feature disasters to unleash upon your virtual town. Meteor strikes, earthquakes, tornadoes, and UFOs have all been confirmed.
A lengthy new "strategy" trailer walks players through the basics of building a bustling SimCity.
Lead designer Stone Librande sheds a little more light on the ways you and your friends can work together, or against each other, in the upcoming SimCity.
