The SimCity 5 Thread (Formerly "Is SimCity 5 Ever Coming Out?").

Hey At least with Darkspore EA allowed Maxis to put their logo on it. Plus there is one major reason for not developing SC5. EAxis has dug itself into a deep hole where no one will give then a ladder until SC5 is developed the way people like it. I mean everyone has different ideas on SC5, some want backwards comp. with the old buildings, I mean it is possible with a SC4Model coverter but think of the bugs. This situation will get worse when SC5 becomes 3D instead of the partial 3D from SC4. Also weather FX, if the Sims3 community wants weather FX in a fully 3D open world game with only a small town, that would take up a ton of RAM and processing power and with storms and floods, bugs will come in like crazy. Now think about similar FX on a full-scale city. That can burn out your graphics card. Also remember, Simcity is a franchise like the Sims and Need For Speed. But unlike those EA messes up Simcity twice Creator and Societies and the Franchise is dead due to harsh reviews. With the Sims EA messes up countless time World Adventure for example and basically all their stuff packs, they are all kinda useless. Need for Speed EA messed it up with ProStreet (what was that!?) and Undercover (same idea as Most Wanted recycled) but all of those are not discontinued because of one reason. The game that follows are one of the best of the series eg. Hot Pursuit 2010, Ambitions etc. EA has the money and the team and millions of people around the world to help them but why won't they develop SC5? Simple. WE ALL WANT DIFFERENT THINGS. Some don't want bugs but some want backwards compatability, some want 3D graphics, others want to have the ability to play it on computers which are not 3D friendly and the list goes on. This also includes casual gamers In the end, you will get a game which no one can recognize. In other word SCS. And on that note people won't call SC5 or whatever a real Simcity and everyone will want Simcity 6 to be developed. PS: It is easier for EAxis to stay in that hole that they dug than to come out. It is also safer for them to stay in that hole even when it is filled with llamas than to receive criticism about their games. -
