I'm beginning to feel pissed off at CO and PDS, cause I know this cannot possibly be as good as it looks

Obviously it's even better than what it looks.
But I have to agree that there should be a catch considering what Maxis did with 10 times more manpower.

Brilliant video! Hydro electric power!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[kent87]

This is still Alpha?! Sorry I don't believe You guys It can't look better for me!

 

[liltbrockie]

Wow was that pedestrians actually waiting for a red light before crossing the road?!

 

[Nelfe]

in an upcoming live stream on their Twitch channel.

Will you "upload" the live for those who can't be on their computer at 19:00, like you did for the live of HoI IV at GamesCon ?

 

[liltbrockie]

It will be on the " Paradox Extra channel" apparently... dunno when though

Are not all Twitch streams made available right after the actual stream almost by default? I cannot remember that not being the case.

 

[liltbrockie]

Dunno I hope so.. I dont wanna have to wait for them to render and upload to youtube.

 

[Grockefeller]

OMG! I'm ready to buy this software even if it's only alpha!!

Cool, but will you actually be able to do marvelous things like creating a windmill powered sewage waterfall? =)

But I have to agree that there should be a catch considering what Maxis did with 10 times more manpower.

I think the "catch" is in the fact that much of the research, code and design is from previous games, and this is a new implementation, rearrangement and reinvention of an already developed concept.

Also, didn't they say there aren't tramways or underground roads?

 

[Co_Karoliina]

Everything you see on the video is done with the actual game engine, not edited in any way, so I have to say yes, the gorgeous sewage waterfall is totally possible ;D

Oh lord

Fill this with chemical fluids. PROFIT §§§§

 

[steveh11]

Making the city better with every poop... OK that's not quite what they said, but I got the message!

 

[IceTytanFang]

this looks like exactly what I want out of city designer, Simcity 4 design with Simcity Reboot graphics!

 

[Langolier]

Looks amazing. I stumbled upon this game after googling "SimCity is s***" and I'm so glad I did. One question if you please, I've yet to see any oceans, night time or tunnels in the screenshots and videos, will there be scope for these elements? Oh lordy let there be room for these essentials!

 

[humancalculator]

I hope this game plays as good as it looks.

If so, you will have one happy (and loyal) customer.
