The system performance challenges we encountered would mean that the vast majority of our players wouldn’t be able to load, much less play with bigger cities. “After months of testing, I confirm that we will not be providing bigger city sizes. “We’ve put months of investigation into making larger city sizes, reworking the terrain maps, changing the routing algorithms of our agent-based system and altering the way that GlassBox processes the data in a larger space,” general manager Patrick Buechner explained. So why did Maxis refuse to create large map sizes in order to build large cities in its game? As far as I can tell they skirted around the issue a bit and didn’t specifically address map size but simply claimed larger cities would be difficult to play with on an older computer. However, Simcity 5 lacked (and still lacks) one major thing: A larger playing area (map) to build that sprawling city! Of course one could introduce a mod (bugs and all) into the game which sort-of allows for a larger map size to build on but that’s not quite the same as having a native game that already includes large maps. Great looking graphics, cool animations, offline mode, and an overall attention to detail. (For the remainder of this post I will refer to the game as Simcity 5)įor me and many other SimCity fans, Simcity 5 had a lot going for it. I enjoy building miniature model cities on a computer and I especially enjoy the detail and charm of SimCity 5 (also known as Simcity 2013). SimCity 5 – What it could have (and should) have been
