New Sim City game

[Mr Smggles]

Whats the point of having a Mac if I have to install Windows OS?!?!

Think I'll wait for the pukka Mac version running on OSX on MBP. Or might put it on my iMac. Could I play one game on both (not at the same time - sometimes on MBP, other times on iMac) if I save my game to Dropbox?

The point is so you can play games on it. You run a virtual machine, so it's not like boot camp. Waiting of,d be a lot easier, or you may find a mac version on pirate bay before its actual release of OSX. I couldn't give you an answer to the drop box question, never tried to play games on my iMac so don't need to chop and change between.

I was in on the beta too, and loved the fact you lay roads, then zone them. Feel much more like city planning than letting the computer put in the road.

I can wait for it to be released.

I don't play that many games on my MBP or iMac - Football Manager for one, and soon (hopefully) Sim City so I think i will just have to wait.

Hopefully some of you PC users will put some reviews on here once you have played Sim City a bit - just to let me know what I am waiting for!

On 19 November 2012, a graphics engineer at Maxis using the name "MaxisSixAM" commented on the SimCity.com forum confirming that while a purchase of SimCity through the Origin platform will entitle access to a Mac version of the game, there was currently no indication of a Mac release date and that Mac users may be unable to play the game until a later date.

On 15 January 2013, SimCity Creative Director Ocean Quigley confirmed via his Twitter feed that the Mac version was still being worked on by Maxis and that its release will be "a little later" than the Windows release on 5 March.

On 28 January 2013 an FAQ for the Mac release was posted to the Simcity.com Blog. This reconfirmed, as already mentioned by Ocean Quigley on Twitter that the Mac version would not be released at the same time as the Windows release and instead would come in 'Spring 2013.'[SUP] [/SUP]This translates to first or second quarter of 2013.

Boo!!

Here, it could be what happened with SC4 - muti month wait and then twice the price for the Apsyr version; which then ran like crap on Intel machines even after the UB update.

You knew what the topic was about as the title is pretty clear, yet still had to come in here and post. Did your mummy not give you enough love?

I think the collectors is only available via Origin. Well, I know the one with the most content is only on Origin.

£64.99, pretty steep. might have to stick to the limited edition version instead.

This game is a complete and utter disaster at present, server woes mean I doubt anyone will be playing it much tomorrow. ..

A one player game at that, quite a joke.

Thats a shame, I was considering looking at this after Tomb Raider (and Bioshock Infinite at the end of the month).

Online only? Do f*** off EA.

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Buying it tomorrow to give it a go. If the servers are sh*t for a week or so it's not going to ruin anything long term

Unsure if it'll beat Sim City 2000 - now that was a classic!
