SimCity (2013) or SimCity 5 is the upcoming city building and simulation game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts.
- It is the 6th installment in the SimCity franchise, the first major SimCity title since the release of SimCity 4 in 2003.
SimCity will release on March 5th 2013 in United States and March 8th in Europe for the Microsoft Windows.
- It will release on MAC sometime after.
Features
Game Engine
SimCity will use the brand new GlassBox engine.
In previous simulation games, high-level statistics were first generated. These statics were used to create the graphical animations
GlassBox engine replaces these statics with simulation units called agents. Agents represent object such as water, power and traffic.
- For example, traffic jams are produced dynamically by masses of agents that simulate travel to and from work, instead of simply displaying a traffic jam animation to represent a simulated traffic flow.
GlassBox engine enables visible modules or addons to a city's structures. It allows the player to tell what sort of additions the city's structures have at a glance.
Multiplayer
Multiplayer will feature Global Market, leaderboard, Achievements, Challenges and Regional play.
Players will be able to play with their friends or strangers in private or public regions.
- Up to 16 players can play in one region.
