Are prices relaly that bad in the UK?
GTX 960 + mobo + Silverstone Raven mini ITX case + PSU + RAM + i5 = $600 here in the states, and you have somehting about the size of an xbox one, and that performs better than a PS4.
No, at least not at launch. Someone might mod it in though.
I paid about 700 for my first PC back in 2008. I upgraded it this year for 200 to make it relevant this gen and now it dances barefoot around the PS4 with flower in its hair.
You only really need to spend huge amount of money on a PC if you always have to have the latest hardware, but you can do just fine only upgrading every few years.

Yeah, I'll do that. Honestly as long as it runs at ~20 fps with a large city I'll be fine. Frame rate isn't anywhere near as important for city builders as something like an FPS since the camera angle is fixed most of the time.

Yeah, I'm worried about the God Hand effect here.
I don't really agree, but having said that, one has to bear in mind there are some limits to what a very small team can do.
AFAIK Colossal Order is something like 10-20 people (some of the art was outsourced and QA is handled by Paradox)

Better start sacrificing to Lord Gaben, according to the CEO of CO, it's out of their or PI's hands and we are at the mercy of the infernal moist smoke machine.
Nah you'd be able to get a very capable rig for around the £500-600 mark
Jeez I hope not :/

There needs to be a single-save, ironman mode for this game.

He, er, didn't know landfill caused pollution.
CSL on Twitch is gonna lose 31,000 viewers any second now... release the damn game.
Ugh... 6pm.

Heh, now the BIG question.
Should I do premade maps first or jump straight to imported maps. Decisions, decisions.
And like 17 hours to go :<

They may at it later, but it will be cosmetic only, not tied to the underlying simulation.

Extremely disappointing. I could see it getting very repetitive without a simulation of the day / night cycles of daily life. So will traffic always be exactly constant all day? Sim City had traffic rushes in the morning and evening, etc. didn't it?

Not exactly constant, people leave/return to/from work at different times, to different areas. The industry produces exports/goods at different times, commercial needs those at different times and of course at different areas. The traffic rushes can happen but they happen "naturally" instead of some magic point in time.
The visual day/night cycle would be nice though.

Or torture.
Maybe not a stream atm but arumba/quill18/skye storme/sips early videos on youtube might save you.

Everything in Simcity was false though. This is a trade off. Also the highest speed on the game slows down as the city increases in size. I guess it's necessary for the engine and I'm fine with it, but I think long drawn out nighttime would bug me.
Thx, guys. Omg, gamergirl. Maybe she wants to be on my friends list.
Just kidding, thanks again.
Watch some of Quill's videos if you have the time. Not the very first few, though, as they actually patched the traffic AI a few days ago. Some of the issues(traffic not using left lanes correctly) you see in his first videos don't exist anymore. The dude is a programmer, he's good at analyzing and breaking things down. He's not perfect, but he at least breaks down the traffic pretty well. I would start there.
Oh yeah, I afk'd while in the developer's stream. Just a bit ago, he says..

Electric cars and rooftop solar sound like good ideas for future edicts, don't you think?
Reduced traffic noise and and lower energy needs.

When does this unlock for US-Gaf?
Also could a 2500k and a 6970 2gb be able to chomp this beast?

Yeah, I'm gonna miss it too but in reality I won't miss it that much. I thought about it when I heard there won't be a day/night cycle and in actuality I mostly played SC4 with the day/night cycle turned off. I usually only turned it on for screenshots and for sightseeing, but I always built stuff with it off.
So yeah, I can live without it just fine. CO has already said they'd like to add it later, just not for launch.

Shit, the i5 only has two logical cores? (My lack of knowledge about the intel product line was sad)
That puts it below the recommended specs too.
I suspect the game will still be playable though.
The Core-I7 i purchased years ago sure had legs, especially when you can clock it at 3.8

i5 mobile has 2 i5 desktop has 4 just to confuse you.
The mobile verison does, but it supports multi-threading for up to 4 hardware threads.
The desktop version is a 4 core CPU.
The i3 desktop has 2, but the newest generaiton i3 also supprots hyper threading.

I don't know what page you are looking at, but this is the i5 2500K that I have, and it definitely has 4 cores to it:

Also, my GMG account has changed it's status. Where before my CSL entry had this next to it:
"The key for this game will become available when the game releases"
it now says THIS:
"No keys available for this game."
I don't like the sound of that..... O_O
Yes makes sense. Or as the system is putting keys in, they are being distributed. And distribution is going faster than inserting so system thinks there are no keys to distribute so gives that message.
Seeing as how this game blew up in popularity, it might be a while before everyone gets keys.
