Hey everyone Okay so why are we just accepting this and moving on?? even i myself is gulity of this! looking forward to Cities XL which is all great However! why the hell should we the fans of simcity let one of best games in history rot away like this! think about time the fans strike back properly not just hate comments on forums, im talking about letters to EA, petitions! even websites promoting how terrible new simcity was and how they distroyed such a famous franchise, we should even boycott the spores because Will Wright should of never allowed sim city name to be distroyed like this really wish Maxis never got taken over, hate the way EA will take credit for spores which woulda been a maxis game how sad I really think the fans need to do more to show there disgust! EA should be apologising and admiting the new simcity a joke not forcing us to like it with crappy addons

Ok spores is out and over with now, the reviews were pretty adverage in my view and felt like they wanted to slate the game but not completely due to the amazing creature creator and the 7 years of development. but all this and now simcity left in ruins with cities xl to take over....BAD MOVE MAXIS very bad move! sorry spores is clever and i still may buy it but you let one of your top games simcity suffer this mess in my view maxis needs to turn back to simcity 5 and regain the city simulation genre, with cities xl almost done though even maxis might have a hard time taking it back

ok its still a bit of a shadow of sc4 but this really is a much better simcity game, zones and RCI is back but watch this video!! can even build curve roads! I really wish this was for pc, not that keen getting a wii just for this

Making SC4 on crack for sc5 would be just as pointless. If i remember correctly sc4 was a little disapointing until rush hour came along and not to mention all the user created stuff as it mostly just sc3000 made again. When you look at sc2000 and sc3000 both were major upgrades to its predessor...sc4 really wasnt much of an upgrade in comparsion in my view. But dont get me wrong sc4 still brillant game but sc3000 was done the best hence why its ported still to this day. if sc5 is to be a hit they need to have it as major upgrade again that interest old fans and brings in new fans. To be honest if SCS would have been fine with me if it just had normal gameplay of simcity RCI and zones, even if it was easier least it would have broken simcity into 3d world. I reckon if someone actally just modded the correct gameplay into scs it would be more fun to play? maybe EA will learn from this i dont think sc dead just yet and from wii and iphone release they seem to aknoledge the old simcity gameplay is the best. As much as we blame EA titled mill were just as arrogant to change the gameplay that worked!!

No offence man but that is a really bad reason why SCS was made by EA, if they need to do that to test a 3D engine then EA/Maxis are in seriously big trouble. tbh i hate the sims yeah but you can still tell even with sims 3 a lot of work gone into the game for the fans.... Simcity they knew had a small die hard fan base that not big enough for EA profit needs, so whats the solution? how do they make simcity a cash cow.....dum it down and make it pretty and sell to the masses, there no loyalty to gamers now, why i miss the 90s so much! its all about fanchises and mega bucks. Sims is a cash cow, they put the effort into the game because there enough people to buy it sad thing with simcity is even the people that had stopped playing it around sc2000 came out the woodwork to show there disgust at SCS, it was regarded as biggest insult to the history of gaming everyone slated it even non simcity fans! and i was physically depressed when i saw it!!! never even felt that way about a game before it surprised me how sick it made me feel still feel depressed thinking about it, EA are on a decline even there NFS series is a joke now and sims 3 more of the same and spore was a bit of a flop with the reviews truth is Maxis so busy making spore simcity left to rot with EA, Spore just another sim endless addons and stuff packs, loads was cut from the game i wish didnt even buy spore got spooorboerd with it

probably not and who cares the game a pile of crud even EA just sell it with SC4 now because no one even interested in it, might be mods but more fun and interesting mods for SC4 that are far superior time to reinstall sc4 on my new pc i think

Nope looks like EA truely are clueless bunch of idiots just raving on that yes still alive with sc3000 ported to the crappy Iphone Copy paste link the guy asks EA directly if there be a SC5 and surely it didnt die back 2003, his responce from the EA women is very very depressing lol http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?story=56894 listen to them avoid the question very depressing guys Cities XL mayb the future but how sad to see iconic series end like this, EA to corperate Maxis was a small team used to care about its fans, Even spore was a bit of a joke really

Hey Folks been to simcity.com recently and with all the news with the simcity box and titledmill working on a new game and the new simcity creator i think its a safe bet SCS was made just to keep the simcity name alive, sorry if this has been said already but lets look at the facts here A. Simcity creator going back to traditional SC gameplay with RCI and looks more like simcity game over SCS. It reminds me of sc3000 but still unrealstic (kinda hate the wii) B. Simcity Box is having to inc SC4 Which states the most realstic city simulator in exsistance (as we all know) but SCS clearly to weak to sell alone which makes me laugh SC4 still being promoted by EA a 5 year old game!! so it kinda proves EA know SCS sucks C. really think it was just EA bad attempt to keep the simcity name alive, I think its a safe bet we see a SC5 a true sequel one day myself...more so now i seen sc creator, think spores has really messed and slowed things up unfortunatly

yeah this should be upgraded to pc with even more stuff hehe seems like video i found changed ppl opinon on sc creator....i was impressed cause i had very very low expectations on it....i also dont get why we got SCS if they were making this as well :S

I really hope this does come out for the pc, this is what they should have been made really for pc not SCS. this is the friendly simcity to get more people playing it again that was needed, least it still stayed true to its routes! the road tool does look hard to use but certaintly cool i think they should do another sc4 addon pack as well fix all the missing features and add more for the advance fans as well

have you tried updating you graphic drivers?

exactly what i was trying to say....looks hopeful the old simcity will be back with a true sequel at some point....just depends how long....i still think someone should mod scs into classic simcity gameplay

DID ANY1 WATCH THE VIDEO! that just a future building option i think creator cool and a lot better SCS sc4 still rules thou yeah but creator i think on the right tracks, road feature cool

im pretty sure it has, sim city fans hate it, sim fans dont care about it, and anyone else prob look past it to buy the latest grid game or call of duty

to be honest why not just mod the simcity game we want in SCS i thought was susposed to be fully moddable, sad part of SCS its not bad game its just gameplay that makes it sucks, we could just mod the simcity gameplay with this game and start adding classic simcity buildings into scs and create 3d simcity we've always wanted, most the work has been done, this is not impossible either, modding has a better sucess rate. any half life fan will know what i mean...some truely great mods that become games and sell in shops later

i doubt we heard the last of simcity, i hear distinations has made it a bit better? not tried myself yet but was disapointed with scs

Originally posted by: korsferd Actually, Monte Cristo is doing a excellent work in CitiesXL. They tend to hear our petitions and ideas and we must catch this oportunity to get involved in this turning of scenarios.Watch EA losing ground for other gamehouses will be a pleasure for me. For all those crappy games that has been launched, they deserve more than "Hate letters", they deserve oblivion. We must look forward! Stop crying for a miserable game of a fallen ill gamehouse. I vote for Monte Cristo Cities XL, Codemasters Dirt/Grid (race genre) and Call Of Duty (Shooter genre)quote> yeah we need compertition again! grid does totally crush NFS pro street and im sure cities xl will with simcity societies

It reminds me of sc3000 but still unrealstic (kinda hate the wii)quote> SimCity Creator is on a completely different and less powerful platform. The traditional gameplay has already proven to work just fine on a more basic system. The SimCity name wasn't so dead that it needed a pc-game to revive it on the way to a console game. B. Simcity Box is having to inc SC4 Which states the most realstic city simulator in exsistance (as we all know) but SCS clearly to weak to sell alone which makes me laugh SC4 still being promoted by EA a 5 year old game!! so it kinda proves EA know SCS sucksquote> Is having to include? Are you kidding me? It is a bestselling game that's still in demand years after release. You'd have to be a complete moron not to try and monetize that. Tell me, have EA ever slacked when it came to finding ways to make money? Thought not. This box deal would have happened even if SCS had sold like hotcakes. C. really think it was just EA bad attempt to keep the simcity name alive, I think its a safe bet we see a SC5 a true sequel one day myself...more so now i seen sc creator, think spores has really messed and slowed things up unfortunatly quote>Spore's messed up how? It's been the main Maxis focus for years. It's not a minor side project they took on before hurrying back to the city builder genre.quote> ok yes i know the old game been proven to work i think 4 sequels proved that!! just saying the fact they've gone back to it means EA finally relised this!! and I KNOW SC4 BEST SELLING!! this is why they have to sell SCS with it!! thats what i mean jez!!! calm down mate and yeah! i didnt meant spores is a mess i meant the production time has caused maxis to put simcity on the back bench, spores was susposed to be out ages ago! and suspect maxis woulda been working on the new simcity now if spores didnt take so long not really impressed how rude you are considering your a moderator! read what i said next time! sorry if im not good at explaining myself very well! i suffer from bad dislexia but there was no need to be a big headed know it all simcity fan! i been playing it since 1989 prob before you were born!

question is now will this be the death of simcity as well or will it make Nuclear cooling Rod Ham Burger rethink the simcity franchise and release a true sequel to simcity 4!!

Originally posted by: haljackey Once Will Wright and Maxis are finished with Spore, we all hope they will rescue the Simcity Series. It is in dire need of help as we all know. To my knowledge Wright stated that he is no longer interested in making any new franchises, so that may allow him to focus on the existing ones.quote> where did he say this? whats your source? because that sounds interesting

well i never buy EA games anymore, stopped buying need for speed as pro street demo was terrible, thankgod for codemasters grid, simcity will go the same way CitiesXL will distroy latest simcity. Really cant see EA repuation lasting long like this, they are killing to many franchises C&C, Simcity, Need for Speed....im sure there more!!

I had the same trouble! makes ya wonder if they knew it was so bad people would try uninstall it, i just deleted the files in the end, trouble is it will leave it in the list of add/removed but small price to pay, longs you get your hard drive space back since formatted so its long gone for me HATE EA AND TITLED MILL SIMCITY KILLERS!!!!!!!!!!!HATE YOU!!!!!

I start with an open debate to sim city fans....will this mess stop you from buying spores? i myself think spores looks amazing! however! if will wright gonna let sim city be trashed and rot like this then to hell with him and spores, he sold maxis to the borg of EA and he has lost my respect only thing gives me hope is city life 2008 and cities unlimited for the future of city simulation games! sim city will unlikely recover from this mess, and in a lot of ways the damage has been done hope 1 day ea go bank rupt! my post is asking u will you buy spores? i personally think sim city fans shud make a statement to will wright by not buying it and expressing there disgust when reviewing spores, gd to see new games but don't sell ur work to be trashed by mindless idiots

think its a gd thing to see a new developer create a new series of city games anyway, Simcity had its day now cities unlimited and city life 2008 take the mick over SC:S
