That looks like ONE big area of playing! We may not even need regions! All in the one area. LOVE IT!

I'd love to see what those little home look like in the final image!

oh wow!

These look very very good screenshots. Hopefully the graphics will be even better up close as they still look slightly cartoony at the moment.

My main point though is the last screenshot. Most of you will be rejoicing at the fact there is no grid but looking closer the actual city is in a grid and this probably tells us that you will be restrained in road placement in urban areas but in rural settings probaly not

This analysis is only based on the screenshots and what Ive read so far on the citiesXL website

Ovarall awesome pics

just what I thought seing this...

as for the grid no grid thing...

I don't think we're limited to grid within town and no grid outside town.

look at where the town ends, it's clearly no grid.

I think it's just the... author of this picture who build it gridlike. but then again, the buildings are all aligned the same way...

hard to tell, but if your prediction is right, will, then it's still a massive improvement to build roads freestyle outside town

WWWOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Great! I think that they addressed that there is no grid...it is just a fact that most urban areas have a grid type setting within the core of the city, and I think this screenshot displays how the game will look REALLY realistic with grids and non grids...

this looks amazing, but in that last screenshot, the only thing I saw missing were real highways; will they be in, and they just werent in that last screenshot?

I can only take a guess here:

The original City Life games had highways, so I am pretty confident this installment will have the game.

I have a feeling the most difficult thing to work with is the transportation modes (it took a lot of modding to get it just right for SimCity). Perhaps that is something they are continually working on.

Wow it's like we actually get to play the Intro Movies of the SC3K and SC4K haha cause that's what it looks like. Goregeous, can't wait!

I'm waiting for the day Maxis and RockStar make a Simcity/ GTA Hybrid game. oooooooooooooh

[Kevin 101]

I am so excited! That screenshot looks like a photo at first glance.

And to think... the game is this far along and its not going to be released until next year. Plenty of time for further tweaks and improvements!

[Glenni 1,444]

It was possible to build cities at any angle you wanted in City life, the only real limit was the buildings,they would line up to the roads and such, but we didn't have much corner buildings for any random angle,but roads could be in any  shape.

So... it will probably in cities XL too

[6underground 11]

Gorgeous! I am getting this game!

[Micah 16]

I'm definitely buying it now! It's incredible!

LOOK at the curvy roads!!!!

By the power of God himself, that is AWESOME. Now that'll have potential.

[Marla_Singer 46]

Looking at the screenies, we see that the company is French !

There are indeed several Haussmanian-style builidings and many Parisian skyscrapers. Building 04 is EDF tower in La D

[____----____ 37]

looking pretty lush, i still wonder if the ability to create custon content, sunken networks, ect will be there. None the less the potential is def there, exciting

I hope that not all the lots will be square/rectangle. That would BLOW! We don't have a grid in this game so lets not stick to that grid with the buildings. Curved and irregular shaped buildings will be great thanks!
