While I agree that Simcity Societies looks like rubbish, I don't believe that it is SimCity 5, I believe it is like The Sims: Life Stories & Co. versus the original The Sims. A Spinoff (a bad one). At least I really hope so.

There's nothing like building a metropolis from scratch. Just hope that the true simcity5 will have 3d... walking around in your city as a actual inhabitant), drool.

Yeah, Tilted Mills games are just garbage. Plain garbage.

Plus, they say that placing separate buildings is a first for a modern city builder.
I'd say to them: Go check out City Life, retards. You will see that its just as crappy as your game.

Personally, I might just mod Simcity 4, by making the camera 3D (the game's 3D, but the camera is just restricted is isometric view), and adding new content.

I might get Spore, I might not. Right now, I'm just pretty pissed at Will Wright for abandoning Simcity

Wow what are you guys smoking? Tilted Mill made Pharoah, the single best city/civ builder ever.. bar none. That game is a classic.

spore is going to be ALOT better then simcity, go too www.spore.com and read all the news, or search it on www.ign.com and whatch the vidieos

back to the topic,

can't wait for simcity 5, hope it isn't crap like everyone says its going to be

Other than simcity 5, simcity 4 (deluxe) was the latest version, right?

One thing I found out was that Maxis has little to no part in Simcity 5, damn you tilted mills, they just got impatient and figured they could take over the goldmine that is simcity, and it looks like they're gonna fail horribly...

What is this Spore you guys keep talking about? Is it a city builder (doesn't sound like it...)

No, they didn't. They made "Children of the Nile," which was a crappy Pharaoh rip off with 3d graphics and weaker game play. Pharaoh was made by Impressions Games. Some of the members of Impressions moved to Tilted Mill when that studio closed, but nothing Tilted Mill has produced has been anywhere near as good as the old Impressions games.

For my part, I'll stick with SC4. Societies looks like crap and I've no faith that TM can exceed my very low expectations.

"or search it on www.ign.com and whatch the vidieos"

I checked out the site, and there weren't anu videos.  

<--- Wishes he could get Transport Tycoon to work on XP and his newer video card.

Spore is supposed to be a "life" simulator, where you evolve a life form, and develop it as it goes through time, such as going from a nomadic tribe to a galaxy spanning civilization. I read more about it, and it actually sounds pretty cool  

But still, Tilted Mill is really bad at city builders. I'll wait a couple more years for the next Simcity 5.

I saw that it was coming out in November. Why do you think City Life is that bad? It looks more interseting than the new Sim City.

I like the SimCity series, but I think I will be more likely to try CivCity: Rome, from the people who make the Civilization series. It looks pretty cool. You can check it out at www.civilization.com

Sentient species taste better...

It's just isn't as detailed or have as nearly as much depth as Simcity 4. However, Monte Cristo is working on a new city builder called CITIES UNLIMITED. It's gonna have those six subcultures again, but Monte Cristo promises that it will more in depth. I hope more details come out soon.

BTW, do you think the next GCII expansion will announced soon?

I hope so.

Huh, a 3D Simcity. Does 3D make a game better?
