Anyone getting an error whenever they try to submit their beta testing form?

This is a few days old, but seems SimCity will be at E3, and with trailer full of in-game footage, alongside some disasters. ''SimCity Fans! E3, the largest North American videogame-centric conference, is just around the corner. We’ll be there – sun, ocean and a large conference center full of the best video games of the year? Do people actually say no to that? Of course before we head to LA and to E3, we want to share some of our details with you. You will see the game. Yup. You, the fan, the gamer, the soon-to-be-mayor. When you watch our latest trailer full of only in-game footage, you will witness some of the consequences your city will face like raging fires, pollution and protestors. What city will you build? This is merely a taste of what we’re doing at E3. Tune in on June 4th during our press conference and see what the game looks like. Spike TV will be broadcasting it live. After you’ve watched the live stream, come back to SimCity.com and see the world premier (did we say first ever shown?), in-game screens. We’re sure you are still going to have a ton of questions so we’ve partnered with Origin.com to set-up a developer chat with our very own Lead Producer, Kip Katsarelis. He’ll be there to answer your questions live from E3 at noon PST on June 5th. We’ll also be showing multiplayer for the first time. We won’t be able to give you a sneak peek at that feature today, but rest assured you’ll be able to read all the exciting news about what it looks like and how it works from all of the press stories.'' http://www.simcity.com/en_US/blog/article/reticulating-splines-at-E3 Pretty exciting stuff.

I gave it a 3, the game looks and sounds great, but I just want to hear a bit more.

Guess so, hopefully they also fix up the problem where vehicles change lanes, looks like they just shift while facing straight, rather than turning or anything.

I noticed their are emergency vehicles responding with lights and sirens. May be nit-picking, but I was hoping for cars to pull over and do more realistic things. Just looks like their driving normally in traffic, but with their lights on. I also wonder if their will be car accidents, causing traffic delays, and emergency vehicles responding like shown in that first picture released for the game.

Here are two interviews, released today. One by IGN, The second by GiantBomb,

You do realize that this isn't Youtube's comment section, don't you? He's Kip Katsarelis, the Lead Producer for the game, and a veteran of Maxis. Ahhh... My apologies, I thought this was YouTube..... Apart from that comment in stating the obvious, the awards were well deserved. I'm surprised it's getting the attention of the White House and Mayor of LA.

Why does his head look so small compared to his body...

So it seems you can play the game by yourself, or with friends, which I guess is good...

Alright, here's a better quality version of the multiplayer trailer, http://www.gametrailers.com/video/e3-2012-simcity/730998

Here's the second trailer, but less of a quality picture..

SimCity is on! http://live-event.ea.com/e3/

Oh, didn't even realize. My apologies.

Will we need to be strategical with getting traffic flow moving effectively throughout the town for emergency responses to things such as fires and robberies, have a much quicker response, otherwise they get stuck in traffic, or does it not matter?

I'm really interested in seeing some large traffic jams, heh.

I would actually really like to see, when emergency vehicles are responding to a location, that traffic tries to pull over and stuff, then once the emergency vehicle passes, it gets back onto the road. It'd ensure that we make traffic congestion low in areas so that emergency vehicles are able to get to their location quickly.

Hi, so I thought it'd be convenient to have a thread where people can post any new images and/or videos of SimCity. The most recent in-game images I have found for SimCity was from the Glassbox engine conference,

This image is on the SimCity website, as a banner sort of thing, do you think this is what the final product will look like?

Sorry for the double post, That image makes it a lot easier, Mrtnrln. 2x2km doesn't look that big...

Hmmm, I'm sort of confused as to what you're talking about, will the amount of land for construction be a lot smaller than SimCity 4?

I'm pretty happy to that the traffic won't disappear like it did in SimCity 4, even at places where there were no businesses or home. It was a weird system, and with this where it'll only vanish when it reaches it's destination is perfect.

Wow, awesome work.

Got it working, it looks really awesome!

Nice find, but the video's aren't loading for me... :S
