Something tells me that those solar panels are part of an ordinance that you issue for maybe clean energy or something.

It's just a gut feeling, though.

That color filter does wonders with the tilt-shift. I know that is the filter I'll be playing with.

The houses with solar panels seems to be how low-residential would be inside a hi-tech specialized city.

Abandoned city,

Whoa, that looks pretty neat.

I sense post-apocalyptic city journal possibilities!

It is interesting to see non-American flags on buildings, such as the Canadian flags on the abandoned buildings.

SC2000 for example (unmodded) has all flags being American flags.

I love that apocalyptic look to the abandoned cities. I wonder if that's what happens when you click "abandon" or is that what happens when all of your sims move out..?

Meteor strike causing it ? Or something?

Ocean's stuff is crap aside from the curved road bridge IMO, but at least Guillaume's pic is nice.

I think its because hes working on landscape stuff doesn't need all the graphics on display.

The Canadian flags are sims from a neighboring city. ( that's the avatar of the neighboring player.)

It's nice to see some pics of what abandoned buildings look like (it's very post-apocalyptic). I'd also be interested in seeing some pics of how high wealth buildings change when a lower wealth class moves in.

On Twitter the comment was "my smart Sims had put solar panels on their roofs", so maybe the higher your sims education level is, the more you can see nice details like these solar panels appear.

The graffiti tags on the streetcars are a nice touch! Would be great to have a crosswalk out to the streetcar stations since the poor sims have to cross three lanes of traffic to get out there.

That's probably my favorite screenshot that they've released so far.

Very beautifull the best screen they've released..! Im so happy to see this screen, i hope for more modern asian/european building appartement/office styles. I DON'T like the 3d fish eye view buildings like the buildings in societies and cities xl that looks so fake.

The textures and small details are definitely improving, I would probably buy this game but as always I hold back 'cos you never know... But each day it's definitely looking more promising...

[SirChick 184]

For some of the textures they just need to add some "dirt weathering" type overlay on it and it will great then! When its too clean it looks too artificial or cartoony.

Very interesting. I bet that those from the neighbouring city must be run by a Canadian. Would it be possible to customize flags for sims (such that it does not resemble a real jurisdiction's flag)?

The Reddit dev beta review has a few screenshots: http://www.reddit.co...simcity_so_far/

Ocean Quigley tweeted the Reddit link so I hope these screenshots are ok to post.: https://twitter.com/...745422420733952

The game even looks good on minimum graphics settings if you ask me.

Is it just me or does the second screen show a tile a LOT larger then the tutorial video one?

[Charlie_Zane 963]

It does look a tad bigger, maybe because it is undeveloped.

Ocean tweeted this a while ago

Maybe they'll be updating the size of the maps later on?

Since the manual (located here: http://akamai.cdn.ea.com/eadownloads/u/f/manuals/GAME-SIMCITY/SimCity_Manual.pdf ) says how the SimCity Store will include free AND paid content, maybe, just maybe, they will release larger maps for free...
