Support NeoGAF

[Pandemic]

Pre-ordered and registered on Metalmurphys site. Are the pictures on this site representative as of what the area will look like in the final game?

Yep, pretty sure they are. Official images of the maps.

ok

Origin-Name:NothingLittle

 

[Megasoum]

Woot! Got my first choice (Matisse Plains in Viridian Woods), thanks Metalmurphy!

 

[eroots]

Missed out, must have been too late.... I'll watch out for the new regions

 

[TomcatTheLion]

Preordered from Amazon last night.

Literally my first SimCity game so I'm going in completely blind with no prior experience.

 

[Dork Knight]

Yep, pretty sure they are. Official images of the maps.

Yeah, they're official. Bummed my city was snagged by someone else. Not too worried, though -- we have a ton of regions, so there should be plenty of space for everyone.

 

[ekim]

What do that little symbols next to the area mean? local resources? what is brown?

 

[qwerty2k]

if i pre-order a boxed copy from amazon or someone does that also get me the mac version (the version i actually want) when it comes out?

Any comment on the hot air balloons/blimps? I assume you can't say anything, just thought I'd ask.

 

[garath]

Whoops. Looks like I missed the promotional credit for the digital version on Amazon. Might not pre-order it now. Unfortunate. Thought it would carry through to today at least

 

[Felix Lighter]

Got a spot in Discovery Delta. Thanks, Metalmurphy!

 

[ekim]

One question :
Can I switch between two areas and play there?
Let's say the first one is the GAF one - can the second one be a private area where only I can build multiple, connected cities?

 

[Chance Hale]

Didn't make it into Murphey's land either, oh de well. Knew I should have spammed every city

 

[Sarcasm]

Oh I can get this off Amazon..but what if there is a uber origin sale ~~~

Damn me for living in Taiwan lol

 

[LumpOfCole]

The hype train has lost its brakes

 

[MThanded]

Nobody knows. I got a digital version hoping that having it in my origin account will allow a mac version to be downloaded when it is released

 

[ekim]

So you can also alter the terrain? Also no one answered my question about if you also can play as your own neighbor.

 

[Raven77]

That $20 credit is BS - you can only use it $5 at a time, on titles that cost at least $30, that aren't new within 30 days, and you have until March 18th at 10am Pacific to use the credit, after that you lose it.

Lol...WOW.

Okay well i'll just get it from Amazon then with the $20 credit offer they are doing. I don't think there are as many restrictions.

Is that good or bad? That's my city

 

[Snuggles]

I hate to be that guy, but if anyone loses interest in this and is willing to give up their spot in GAF land...give me a holler. That is probably the only way for me to experience to multi-city at it's full potential. Otherwise I'm sticking to single player, which is fine. Just excited to finally have some Sim City in my life again. I missed out on SC4 so it's been since 3000 for me.

 

[Burger]

What's the best pre-order deal in the UK?

 

[Covfan]

Has anyone else pre ordered in Origin and NOT have been charged for it yet? I'm getting slightly concerned.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Has anyone else pre ordered in Origin and NOT have been charged for it yet? I'm getting slightly concerned.

If it's through Origin, I wouldn't worry. I hope Amazon has keys up before release so we can pre-load.

Happy camper, I got the spot I had in mind. I'm going in without beta access so I will be learning the ropes.

You have to be joking? I was already looking for a game to use the $20 credit on. Where does it say all that info?

 

[Relix]

Shit need to sign up to that region

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Just get it on Amazon and get 15 off right now with CAGROCKS. I don't know if it's any good anymore as we're in March now though.

 

[ekim]

Is that good or bad? That's my city

it's awesome!

 

[Deadly Cyclone]

damn that unspecified Mac release date!!!!!!!

This. I want the Mac version.

Hopefully it runs on my 2012 air.

 

[Chance Hale]

I hope the full game runs better, I have a GTX670 and I5-3570K and it would still get framerate drops to around 45-50 FPS if I zoomed in during the beta. Did I read somewhere the game doesn't have proper multicore usage like Cities XL?

Not to mention the alising was horrible, no good option.

 

[Sarcasm]

Lol...WOW.

Okay well i'll just get it from Amazon then with the $20 credit offer they are doing. I don't think there are as many restrictions.

20 from Amazon, where?

 

[Mengy]

Is that good or bad? That's my city

It's very good, well done! One of the better looking (creative) cities I've seen for the new game so far.

Any chance you could show us some more pics from that cty?

 

[Gaming Truth]

20 from Amazon, where?

$20 off the future with a physical, $15 off now if you go digital and enter CAGROCKS.

 

[krameriffic]

The hype train has lost its brakes

I didn't know you could build roads that fly off into the air like that. I thought the game was much more 2D.

 

[Raven77]

20 from Amazon, where?

I was on there last night, just go to the games page on there, it says you get a $20 credit when you pre-order it.

 

[Gnub]

I seem to remember the Amazon sale page saying that codes would go out today at 11 for pre-download. Today it says codes go out on the 5th with no pre-download. Am I going crazy?

 

[Mii]

Washtub Fields!

Hello neighbors.

 

[wenis]

I need to run that by my bosses, but I may be able to share some "b-roll" after the game is released.

not working anymore

Haha, nice. Did those elevated bridges have a positive impact on traffic flow by giving more outlets? Did they interfere at all with building growth at the ground level where the bridge foundation meets the ground?

 

[wenis]

They interfere at the point the meet the ground only, but you can weave roads and buildings thru the bridge support openings. As for traffic, if seemed pretty comfortable, it only ever got bad during peak hours.

One question :
Can I switch between two areas and play there?

Yep, you can join a region with friends and then create a private region just for yourself (where you can claim all the cities yourself or invite your friends to play with you).

Up to you what you wanna do.

 

[ekim]

I love the fact that you can actually really care about the look of your city.
Will it be possible to play at the US release in EU with a VPN tunnel?

 

[depths20XX]

Pre-ordered on Amazon for the $20 credit. Didn't get to play the beta but this game looks nice. I loved Sim City 4 so I hope this can live up to that.

 

[Thorhald]

Derp derp. How are you able to register a city? I'm interested in setting one up for work.

 

[Smiles and Cries]

I see no Mac version on Origins

 

[SRG01]

How well does this game run on a laptop? I have an AMD A6 Fusion...

 

[storybook77]

Yep, you can join a region with friends and then create a private region just for yourself (where you can claim all the cities yourself or invite your friends to play with you).

Up to you what you wanna do.

Is there a limit on how many regions you can be in?

 

[krpiper]

No more pre-loading from Amazon?

 

[BigJonsson]

Straussburg Isles!

Booo, amazon.com won't let me buy the download version because I'm in Canada =/

 

[Sober]

No more pre-loading from Amazon?

No preloading period.
