Should've been a facebook game.

 

[Lombax]

Yipes!

 

[LiK]

The reactions here are hilarious

 

[justjim89]

The way the city abruptly ends looks pretty bad.

That too, yeah. Again, complete outsider's perspective, but 90% of the roads just end. It looks dumb.

 

[StuBurns]

They may not be, but the attitude and visual design of this game are practically a carbon copy of what RedLynx has done on the 360. As we said in the video, if the legal standard for infringement is "creating confusion in the marketplace" (I don't know that it is), you could likely make a convincing argument for infringement here. I guarantee a casual observer who's only passingly familiar with RedLynx's games would look at screenshots of this and assume it's from the same people.

Sure, but you could show someone Battlefield, Medal of Honor, and Call of Duty, and you'd probably get a similar result.

I didn't mean they don't have a legal precedent, just that if they did rip off all those flash games, to sue for being ripped off is pretty low. It's like PopCap, who made a living ripping off Japanese arcade games, did something quite fresh with PvZ, and if anyone rips that game off, they probably could make legal proceedings, but it'd be pretty shameful. Not that companies are burdened with the concept of shame.

I'm always kind of surprised how separated lawsuits seem to be from corporate cultures, like Valve and Blizzard suing each other while seemingly being on very good terms publicly.

I think in many ways the DotA lawsuit was a really fascinating case for the industry, of this generation, people probably think of SK versus Epic as the most notable one, but everything about the DotA case was pretty interesting, and hotly debated, probably because both companies are so loved. Everyone wanted SK to lose, if they should have or not.

"Delta City police protect Ol' Dirty City"

delta city ain't do shit in the ODC

 

[Lingitiz]

Ol' Dirty City looks way more interesting than Delta City.

 

[Lombax]

"Delta City police protect Ol' Dirty City"

delta city ain't do shit in the ODC

wonder if Delta City police have cop knives?!

 

[Lonestar]

Douchebag Bus blocking lanes entering into Ol Dirty City.

 

[fluffydelusions]

scumbag useless road

 

[demidar]

This looks like Detroit.

 

[Rapstah]

This game looks like it would be great if cities and the area between cities were 50 times as big without limitations for how big cities could grow so you could grow into each other.

 

[sixghost]

There's nothing suspicious about an empty moving truck "just passing through town."

 

[AcridMeat]

There's nothing suspicious about an empty moving truck "just passing through town."

Then pulling a u-turn because they noticed what's happening.

 

[demidar]

Wait no TERRAFORMING?!

 

[Lonestar]

yep...

Hoping the multiplayer aspect will be strong, as it's looking like the main thing it has going for it.

 

[jakonovski]

One exit ramp for an entire city.

"I don't know why there's a traffic jam here."

It really seems like we somehow missed the actual SimCity reboot and jumped straight to the SimCity suburbs expansion.

 

[StuBurns]

This game can eat my ass, what a disappointment.

 

[demidar]

Jeff tearing into this city size, I have to agree.

 

[strafer]

This sounds like such a disappointment.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

There's nothing suspicious about an empty moving truck "just passing through town."

Or a pickup trucking leaving town from "vacant business"

 

[Vire]

Well, thanks Giant Bomb.

Saved me some money today.

 

[firehawk12]

I had no idea the cities were so tiiiiiiny.

 

[SteveO409]

Thank God Amazon cancelled my order..

 

[SmithnCo]

This city size thing is so disappointing.

 

[Venfayth]

I really don't want to play this game anymore. How disappointing.

V- DOUBLE How disappointing.

 

[Dark Schala]

I didn't expect it to be so small.

How disappointing.

 

[jakonovski]

Lol the entire highway between the two cities is one big traffic jam.

 

[D4Danger]

You can't play the game at all if the servers are down?

I've seen the future and I don't like it.

 

[Subterranean]

City size is small and no terraforming? No thanks.

 

[demidar]

That hard urban cutoff between the city borders is so jarring. Is this really the end-game?

 

[CambriaRising]

This game looks pretty terrible. Well, at least there is still Tropico.

 

[LCfiner]

that's the size of a city?????

I'm gonna barf.

 

[SmithnCo]

City aesthetics have no place here.

 

[Jamie OD]

If I had never played Sim City before, I bet I would have fun with this. However, I have played Sim City before so I am just disappointed with all of the limitations put in place.

 

[ashbash159]

Oh man. I really enjoyed the beta, but this quick look is making me regret my preorder. POOP.

 

[Ventilaator]

I was thinking about getting into Simcity one of these days. Looks like it's time to install Simcity 4 then.

 

[fluffydelusions]

I can't get over the size of the city...surely other regions must have bigger areas??

 

[I'm an expert]

Go with 2000.. you won't need anything else.

 

[slightconfuse]

I love how the sleeping dogs guys said fuck it give the player a batmobile

 

[D4Danger]

every game will end up like this

Twitch really needs to get a rewind function for live broadcasts. I hate missing the beginning, then having to wait for the archive.

 

[Lombax]

So wait is the point of this game to build multiple small cities thus giving you the feeling of something larger?

 

[Felix Lighter]

Oh man, I can't watch the Quicklook but from the sounds of things, it's not too impressive. I'm kind of screwed here with my preorder. It's the physical copy and has already shipped and I made commitments to friends and even gaf to play a spot as part of a region.

I'll make the most of it, I guess.

Just be open-minded. I can see how the game would be enjoyable, there are probably going to be a number of disappointments though.

The feel of a city.

It's really hard to name a game I didn't have fun with with friends. Even the worst piece of shit can be made a lot better with buddies.

I don't see why Greg Miller is freaking out about how great this is. IGN, I know, but I typically trust his opinion even if I disagree with it. The dude bought a gaming PC for this and will be streaming it for 9 hours. I don't see how he can be so enthusiastic about it.
