But always on DRM where you absolutely have to connect to EA servers, limited 2kmx2km city sizes, the potential for DLC or microtransactions to make the game go from 60 dollars to up and above dollars completely takes away any redeeming qualities of the new SimCity when there were very few to begin with.
Just buy SimCity 4, it's a better game. If it was the mechanics from Sim City 5 mixed with the scope of Simcity 4, it would be the best game ever. Despite the truly sad situation of their drm I think this one is superior over 4. I'm sure people's opinions are bias right now, especially with the issues last night. Although I'm sure there are plenty of people who will like 4 over this. They have streamlined the most annoying stuff in 4 without taking out the depth having power, water and sewage go through roads.
Yes the cities are small but the interaction between the cities is super interesting how you create an interconnected network. I'm still wrapping my head around everything so my cities are decen but not great. Overall though when you can actually play the game, it's a blast. Sim City 4, a game that's 10 years old and a third of the price of Sim City is a better Sim City game.
I thought the new one would be promising but its not for me. So now I've got this itch and I don't know how to scratch it. Should I re-buy Simcity 4, or an older Simcity game?
In my opinion SimCity Windows version is the best in the series. SimCity 4 shines due to the amazing amount of custom mod work the community has contributed since its release. For now, SimCity 4 is much better since it's actually playable. Even though they share a name, they are pretty different games. The scope is completely different and so many people just don't get it yet. They are trying to play this game like SC4 and are complaining when it doesn't work out the same way.
I think it is a fine game so far. I think SC4 is great too. As for now, I think I prefer this new game over SC4 because it has made some really smart iterative improvements. Opinions, yo. Rather than sprite-based graphics, SimCity 4 and its Rush Hour expansion pack employ improved 3D capabilities. The main example is traffic simulation, which entirely uses 3D visuals to render vehicles. However, lights and shadows are not generated real-time and only some buildings automatically orient themselves with 3D positioning.
The decaying of buildings is done more realistically, but most graphical details remain pre-rendered. Rush Hour is an expansion for SimCity 4 released in September This expansion adds several things, mostly transportation related, such as elevated rail , ground highways , and toll booths. The Deluxe Edition was released in September It is a release of both SimCity 4 and the Rush Hour expansion bundled together with numerous particle effects added and fixed.
There were no major bug fixes as part of this release. SimCity 4 contains 6 pre-made regions, two of which have pre-made cities.
New, unterraformed regions can also be created from the region menu and regions can also be imported.

In , the controversial SimCity Societies wasn't developed by Maxis, but rather a different developer, Tilted Mill , marking the first time a major SimCity title was developed by someone other than Maxis, which was received with mixed opinions.
Maxis finally returned to the franchise almost 10 years later and released SimCity , a reboot of the series in , ending the string of other developers developing the series.
