Screenshots (Pre-Release)

I dunno, those avatars look far too cartoonish, even more than Sims. I would prefer a more grown-up set of avatars, personally. The scenery screenshots make up for it, though.

Hmm... this looks vaguely familiar...

Not an exact replica or even the same height but I think it's pretty clearly modeled after it. There's no mistaking that characteristic crystal roof! Too bad they can't use the Frost Bank logo to make the so-called "owl eyes".

Kind of flattering to see this! Even thought I'm not a particular fan of such a glass dagger being in my city, but hey, that's what carpet-baggin SOB's from Cali and NY do to a good honest city! LOL

so can't wait for this game

I hope we can make really large cities

Also, those are some visually jarring angles when the road goes from slope to flat and back again at that intersection. At least a little more grading might save the suspensions of those cars. All in all though very exciting- nice to see the inclusion of climate.

MODERATOR EDIT: Dude I'm sorry, I meant to quote you and instead hit 'edit'... so some of your post was cut out. I'm an idiot -89

EDIT: Dood, you're killing me.  No worries. I'm sure it was only some of the greatest prose written in the 21st century. . .

I agree, I hope there is a way to make more realistic slopes.

[Dark_Jedi06 13]

Yeesh, not too fond of the two new screenshots. That first one with the snow has a cartoonish Santa's workshop feel to it and the slopes do not look like an incline I would like to drive on. Also, the curving roads in the second one look very angular.

Not a big fan of how hte roads sit above the snow but otherwise it looks awesome.

[grbac80 5]

Yeah also the road just stopsin the sand on the beach. A roundabout atleast.

[BurroDiablo 222]

I quite like the first Screenshot, dispite the 'Santa's Workshop' vibe it gives off. I hope that all types of buildings can get covered in snow on these winter maps, not just the wooden Alpine looking ones.

From the latest GEM blog:

Is that SkiGeek on the left in that first picture?

[JakeMD 107]

Wow, now I am impressed!

[Dark_Jedi06 13]

Not particularily interested in the GEMs or ski trails in general, however I love that rocky, snow-covered mountain in the background!

[chocolate_city 93]

I glad that everyone is so happy that this game is coming out... I ain't impressed All i want to see is one flyover ramp ... a city with real freeways and not big avenues with ridiculously big sidewalks...

[BurroDiablo 222]

I probably won't make use of the Ski GEM but it sounds really good, reminds of the 'Theme' games that used to be around, Theme Park, Theme Hospital etc. 

I love the terrain though, it looks like World in Conflict terrain. The village also reminds me of Cascade Falls from WiC, although, I bet you can't Nuke it...

No using Cpt. Bannon as target? awwwww

[cubenax 2]

 Wow, I must say I am impressed. I just hope this isn't as big of a failure as City Life. I bought CL and could not install it on my computer. I got NO support from Monte Cristo at ALL. I spent almost three days trying to get support from them. My poor, 10 year old mind.... I still remember that from three years ago, wasting my hard earned $40. I will buy this game at some point, though, I know that, I just won't forget the City LIfe situation.  

[c-doodlez-man 16]

Wow that looks awesome. i'm sure my computer can handle it: like 3.2GHZ, 1GB ram, 80GB storage graphics card

Yeah, hopefully that is available to the actual gameplay.

from this vid

some poeple have complained about not being able to load it, so I put some screens

[Kevin 101]

I wish I remembered more from high school French. Cool video though, thanks fukuda!

[Glenni 1,444]

Here's some slightly bigger rips from the video.

[Wrightguy0 40]

I'm just glad that they modeld 40 Wall Street

[CastAway 0]

Holy Sidewalks, Batman! Look at the size of those suckers in the last screenshot.

EDIT: I hope that was done BEFORE the blog post on reducing their size.

[Asheroo 53]

Don't worry CastAway, it was. The date it was previewed in that video was before the blog on reduced sidewalks.
