Cities: Skylines (PC Game)

I am really surprised this has not been posted. This is a new city builder that comes out on March 10th made by the same people who created the Cities in Motion games. The game looks promising and hopes to fill that void left by SimCity and Cities XXL.

The publisher is Paradox Interactive who released the Mount & Blade series and Europa Universalis IV.

Here are a few videos:

I'm not going to pre-order, but as soon as it comes out and there are good reviews, these people are getting my money.

Yeah finally looks like a good City builder.

Cities XL was good but XXL is just a ripoff of XL, massive let down.

I still play Simcity 4 once in a while but i don't really know any other city builders beside it. Is there any other really good city sim out there?

And by 'good' I mean with at least similar amount of depth.

This game will hopefully be the first one that is good since SimCity 4.

If you happened to play SimCity on release week you will understand why they advertise that.

looks promising, will keep an eye on this

This genre has indeed been a bit stale for a while, Simcity 4 is the standard to beat. ALthough I'd love it if these guys made multiple versions of their game to be a bit different, each version would be a different time period, so building in ancient rome or in 2135 colonising the moon or some such. City building games have so much scope that hasn't been used.

Its a shame that they even HAVE to advertise that.

Singleplayer now a feature!

Kinda like when Blitzkrieg 3 announced buying the game for a 1 time fee and getting everything was a new innovative feature.
