In all seriousness I'm looking forward to developing a central business district focused metropolis. I've always been big on the high rises. I wonder what kind of industry I could focus on to do that. Can we run stock exchanges, banks, etc.? Either that or I'd like to run a big port city. Neither of those have been a focus in the videos, so I'm curious how they'll work. Chicago/New York/London/etc. is my goal.
I'd really like something with the inter-related mechanics we're going to get here and the modding/customization of MineCraft. This being Maxis, I don't expect a lot of coloring outside the lines.
My prediction is that outside of multiplayer this game will provide 2 weeks of entertainment and the next 2 weeks worth will be xpac'd in 6 months later.

Not defending it (don't really care anyways) but the always on internet connection is also due to some of the sim processing being done on EA's side.

My city will be a 1x1 square of residential and nothing else. The lone inhabitant will sit outside his house staring at the vast emptiness and question the god that has created this solitary hell. No job, no friends, no family, he will slowly wither away, until his hated god gets bored and chucks a meteor at his house.

None of this stuff outweighs the negatives. There's nothing fundamentally different from the gameplay you get in SimCity4 from a SimCity where some jerkoff creates a dump next to you and you get his debris.
Always on internet connection doesn't enable cloud computing, it forces it.

Better get used to that sound because that's what you'll be hearing when you can't connect to the server.

That little teaser vid makes me a bit nervous. If you pay attention to the size of the city boundaries during the fly-by shots they all look extremely small, even the ones that look like they have really built up city cores which would be part of a much larger city in real life.

Its nothing that would keep me from playing the game. But does anyone else feel like the cities arent dirty? Everything seems so sterile and clean. Lots of smog around Industry, but I dont see any other effects upon the landscape. Where is the litter? Just a little bit of realism in thesereally small cities, might be cool. :/
