Screenshots (Pre-Release)

[Dark_Jedi06 13]

Please don't tell me that those strange folks will be walking around my citites.

I'd prefer indiscriminate sims who are oddly proportioned to the world around them.

Mmmm... looks tasty. Can't wait until people get their modding teeth sunk into it, myself included. Hopefully they'll release that Avatar maker as a seperate programme first to keep us occupied, kinda like the Spore creature creator.

It encourages ethnic hostility against Serbs.

Throw iy up into a Google search and you get a rather unsettling translation found in the 4th return, 8th post down on the website. Regardless, this thread is about Cities XL and it should have been reported to the Mods instead of being brought up in this thread, which is clearly about new screenshots.

The sig translates as "For Croatia and Christ against the Serbs and communist". Perhaps it should be moderated, but leave that up to the moderators.

WIll be modding alowed in Cities XL? I think they want Custom Content, but from what I have gathered, it won't be at release and it will only be available to a select team MC will help to give us content. Some of it maynot be free. None of this is confirmed though and it is just what I have deduced.

Bad stuff

mskero you're not going to be loved here i predict.

[BurroDiablo 222]

I had a feeling it was something along those lines. It should certainly be moderated, Ethnic hostility is just a re-wording of Racism.

I see something that looks like Footpaths on that beach shot... can it be, some kind person has acctually remembered we have legs? Huzzah. No need to build unsightly roads to distant landmarks on top of mountains.

I read somewhere that modding won't be possible straight away but it will be eventually. They'll probably wait a few months before giving us any sort of official modding tools.

Guys...! Got a shrinker somewhere?

MUCH better.

Love that we can have palm trees in the centre and the various light posts look great!

[Dark_Jedi06 13]

I'm glad to finally see some variety with the roads. However, hopefully giving them a facelift will be easy and highly moddable.

Now I just want to see some other forms of transit in-game....

[De Ja Vu 117]

Looks really great! Btw will this game be grid-based? I mean will there be grids?

I think we're going to be able to take some sweet screenshots with this game

[Arrold 0]

I am loving everything I am seeing, and I'm definitely planning on buying this game. It looks amazing.

But I think some of you are expecting the graphics to look like this on your own computer, and that's a little silly. Obviously if you have one hell of a computer it won't be a problem, but I am willing to bet that most of us are going to experience SERIOUS LAG if we're going to try to play the game with the graphics set this high. Hopefully there will be deeply customizable graphics settings like in Roller Coaster Tycoon 3. Any info on this? I haven't been following thread until today.

Just noticed that jet with the contrails behind it in that pic.

[panthersimcity4 162]

Oh. My. God. Monte Cristo is so evil for teasing us with this stuff! I want it!

What do you know? Wall to wall buildings!

Guess that's what happens when Europeans make city builders instead of Americans

[Dark_Jedi06 13]

I love the thought of being able to get down to that level and taking a shot of the city across the rooftops...certainly leaves many doors open for those of us who use city builders to create art.

[gabry85 2]

[BurroDiablo 222]

Nice screens. I can't see much new in them, i'm still trying to deduce if they're using the new roads or not (determine if those pictures are recent), it doesn't look like it.

I'm not sure if there is an ACTUAL grid than you can switch on/off like on SC4, but there is a 90 degree snap mode as well as a Freeform mode.

Good spotting. I hope theres different types of Airport.

[Dark_Jedi06 13]

Interesting screenshots...certainly nothing we haven't seen before but I'm glad that I don't see any apparent repetition, especially in that CBD; so that's certainly a positive!

However, I'm eager to see something that we haven't been introduced to yet...such as a new transit network, preferably rail please.

Oh I see it now, darn it. I need to get my vision checked...

[hamsterTK 93]

I love the idea of varying sidewalks!

The building set seems to get more and more impressive every new shot that is taken, too
