The Sandpit – A day in the life of New York City
If wishes could come true, then I wish for this to be SimCity 5. This video captures New York City with various cameras to give it a ‘miniaturized’ look. Such an outstanding video I must say…watching it makes me think of SimCity 4 with many of the mods added on. I hope the franchise is not over yet. Maxis – please, please return to your roots.

Oh my God! That does look like a real-life SimCity!! So amazing and beautiful and alive! And it’s NYC, my fav city and home town!
If Maxis does “go back to their roots” they could easily advance SimCity to look very similar to this! I agree Jud, please maxis, I’d LOVE me some new SimCity!

That style always freaks me out haha. It’s real, but looks fake; totally bizarre. I actually made some TS3 screenshots in the same way; some turned out alright, others more so.
Anyway, I hope Maxis do return to SimCity and make a true SimCity 5. I think it could be epic with today’s technology.

This is something I don’t understand. Spore isn’t doing all that well. EA needs to make money. What other franchise besides The Sims that can rake in a whole lotta dough? SimCity. If they could pull Maxis over and market it as the true next-gen SimCity, cash would be raining down on them.
But if EA did do this, ‘The SimCity Store’ would not be far behind…

Maxis knows what we want SimCity 5 to look like
All they need now is the will to make it come to life. Honestly, the SimCity name needs a revival, especially after their recent and very dissapointing flop, SimCity Societies… Sweet video though!

I’d rather Maxis work on Spore

I do sort of want a Spore 2 (aka Spore 2005, the game it should have been, plus more), but at the same time, I’m really really longing a proper SimCity 5. Something totally epic. Bring back all the charm, add new features…all that jazz. To be honest, I wouldn’t mind it still being in isometric view (with 3D graphics) if it meant the game would run better; most fully 3D city builders tend to have really iffy graphics and lag IMO.
