I’m not worried about it not being on the PC.

I’m worried that if they are making it multiplatform, it’ll end up in the same vein with SimCity Societies.. I do not see how SimCity at its real form (SimCity 4 and older) can be properly handled in a console.

I do see Societies making that sort of jump though… And I’m hoping they aren’t going to release Societies 2.

I still play Sim City 4 and compared to the crap that is Cities XL, I very much look forward to the development of this game.

If it is a Sim City game, I would think it would be on PC as well, if that’s what you’re worried about.

Additionally, it wouldn’t make much sense for EA to put out a new Sims City game that’s not on current game consoles. Why? Simply because publishers desire profitability, and they should.

Consoles reach a much wider audience than the PC alone, so it’s certainly likely (from that standpoint) that this game will be made available on consoles.

Like I said, we’ll immediately let you know on March 6th. :)

“Maxis has been hiring recently as well, specifically seeking graphical engineers for a “triple-A simulation style game” for current consoles.”

CURRENT CONSOLES

SIM CITY

DOES NOT MIX D:

Seriously, I hope Maxis+EA DOES NOT make another Sh*tCity Societies style game.

I’m hoping for a new Sim Tower. I love that game.
