The rumors were true. Tonight, EA officially announced a reboot of Sim City, due out on PC In 2013. Lucy Bradshaw, senior VP of Maxis, took the stage at a pre-GDC event to reveal the game, and to out the first details.
Every time you place a building you plop it down, and a cloud of dust puffs up. Roads (which can now curve!) are caved into the ground. Sim City is a fully 3D game, taking full advantage of the powerful new engine, built for the modern era of PCs.
Which is another new element - consequences. Will you run a lean, green metropolis, or an oppressive mess of a city? Both will have their own challenges and rewards, showing a powerful cause and effect system.
A new trailer was shown off, which we hope to have soon, and it looks brilliant. Stay tuned!
