I've been getting my city building fix from Cities XL 2012. I rather like it, and though I want Sim City to return, but if it isn't better than Cities XL I'm gonna stick with that instead.
I spent more time playing SimCity 2000 than probably every other game combined since then. The preview fills me with hope that they've reversed the disappointments of SC 4, and I look forward to seeing how the new game turns out.
Dude thank you for making a thread about this as I hadn't heard yet that they were finally making a new one. I love strategy and RTS games and with Starcraft 2 being the major disappointment it is there really has been a lacking of a good quality one. Hopefully this will kick start a resurgence of Strategy/RTS games just like the slow resurgence of Space combat/exploration games.

Ahh, Sim City that brings back fond memories when I was a kid and got hooked after SC2K....great sand box game.
IDK personally I liked SC4 and it had small improvements. Sim City Societies.......NOW that was a major disappointment, if I remember correctly Will Wright stepped down after SC4 came out and someone else took over and thought Societies would carry the name. I have high hopes for Maxis. (Actually I thought they went bankrupt, haven't seen a new Sim game in awhile:p)
I wonder if we'll be able to import our landscape files from simcity 4. I'm still hanging on to those; spent so much time on them. Hope so, though I doubt it.

i want to build more! out of money? TRIBBLE, issue a bond! oh no why do i have negative money?!
Man, my debit card got warm just watching that. I had some of the most epic cities in Sim City 2000.
Societies was an embarassment. I really hope this one brings the franchise back on track.
I thought Societies killed the franchise. I have never been happier to be wrong (as little as it happens
You dare deny the greatness of the all mighty Diablo?!? Blasphemy I say!!!

The SC I liked most is for sure SC4. Mostly because of the with the regions increased worldspace.
