It’s perhaps testament to the longevity of the SimCity series that an otherwise insignificant morsel of news regarding such a minor gameplay addition would grab the attention of gamers worldwide. But the roads, you see, they’re curvy.
Running on the new GlassBox engine, Maxis’ recently-announced SimCity appears to be no mere remake of SimCity 4, no minor revisit with new assets and a new marketing campaign. This is a reboot, a complete redesign of the concept of city building that has been heartily embraced by millions of gamers the world over since Will Wright kicked it all off in 1989.
