SimCity 2013 PC Game

SimCity is an upcoming city-building/urban planning simulation computer game in development by Maxis, a subsidiary of Electronic Arts. It is a reboot and the sixth major release of the SimCity series. The title was expected for a February release, but it is now to be officially released on March 5, 2013 on Microsoft Windows and for OS X.

Along with many of the cosmetic changes (such as up-to-date 3D graphics), SimCity will use the new GlassBox engine. Two other new features are a multiplayer component and finite resources.

Unlike previous games in the series, the game will have non-linear curved roads and zoning areas that can conform to different road types. Types of zones will include residential, commercial and industrial. The density will be driven by the types of roads and general traffic around these zones.

Cities in a region are connected to each other via predefined regional networks such as highways, railways, and waterways. Elements such as traffic and air pollution will be visible flowing between cities.

    Terraforming – Creative Director Ocean Quigley stated that all of the terraforming in the game is going to be at the civil engineering scale, and will be the natural consequences of laying out roads, developing zones, and placing buildings.
    Transportation options – There are a number of options that are included, such as boats, buses, streetcars, and planes.
    Customization – Maxis has indicated that the game will support modding, but will not do so at launch like previous versions.
