The 5th SimCity PC game was SimCity Societies. All of its internal files called it SC5.quote>

I would have been happy with that, in fact Cities XL in single player mode should have been SC3000 3D  with the road features and better graphics and functional online trading. Just simple buses, passenger trains, and subways. If I'm spending $50 on a game that is suppose to be the next step for a genre, then it should atleast give me the basic things that were present in the genre before, not take five steps backward. Besides graphics and roads, SC2000 had more features than CXL.  If they had just made essentially the same game with better graphics in single player and added more specialized custom content like trams, custom lots, etc. through paid online subscription, more people would go out and buy it and would be more prone to subscribe to planet offer for the real good stuff as long as the basic stuff was there. I know I would have bought and maybe subscribed if I was really getting something way better than SC4. But I'm not and probably won't so...

I remember a time when someone suggested back when the cuplanet forums still existed that cities can have the ability to declare war to other cities (It's a city-building game people). Also, after seeing the graphics, I can't believe I ever suggested that they upgrade the graphics to support all features of DX11!

SimCity 3000 was originally 3D. It had slightly over a year of coding done on it before Maxis was acquired and EA deemed it "unfeasible" so I want a finished version of that.
