Captain America Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) I can't wait to play Sim City. Shall we set up a region? We could have the region of about 8 cities, so we could have 2 each if we wanted even. Edited March 6, 2013 by Captain America Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 It does have an independent graphics card, i think. It was described as a "gaming laptop", but according to my pompous pc gaming colleagues, no such thing exists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 It should run it fine, it'll struggle if you zoom right in to observe your town though as it uses a lot of resources when there are a lot of sims milling about on the screen. Also if you are pre ordering the game you get 20% off on greenmangaming just now. That's where I got mine and the key came through just fine.

Moose Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I'll see if my laptop is up to it first. What if we set something up and then one of us didn't play it as much as the others, though? Also, I've never played it before. Is it possible to be really rubbish at it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Yes your town could fail, i've not played much before either though. I always thought previous Sim City games had rubbish interfaces. They seem to have really sorted it out in this one as the UI looks lovely. No it wont really effect the other players if someone plays less, you don't have to trade with the other towns in your region but if you want to you can share resources like fire engines, police, garbage trucks etc. I'm going to try and make a touristy as fuck town first. Then maybe a gambling town after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want a gaming PC you need a stack really. Or a Steam box when they finally release it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flights Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Man I hope the steam box arrives soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 I actually cant wait, i think it could be the best thing ever to happen to gaming. As long as they can get it to work properly, apparently at the moment they have issues with the noise and heat levels coming off it .

Teabags Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I hope the Steam box is awesome. If so, it'll definitely be that over a next-gen console. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain America Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Sim City is out! I downloaded it last night, took very little time at all actually. I also logged in to check that I could connect to a server and it worked on the second attempt. I must have done it wrong I'm pretty sure it's supposed to put me in a queue and I'm supposed to flip tables... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Milner Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Maybe they'll release it with Episode 3. OH HOLY FUCK THEY BETTER! Valve are being quite quiet on the old Half Life and Portal front, no news of a new version of either so far. If they have a new Half Life when this thing comes out then it will definitely be good bye to the Xbox for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 I'm nervous about getting Sim City in case my laptop can't run it well enough, but also in case it does work and it ruins my life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Milner Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Playstation always underwhelms me, i see nothing so far that would even remotely convince me to move from Xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flights Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 (edited) Why? Just seems a bit bland. Sure it's got more power than before but that was to be expected. Not heard anything that suggests that the online experience will be any better. The wee touch pad looks pretty cool but how it will be used is yet to be seen. If it only appears on the Playstation I can see it getting lignored by the multi platform developers as it would something extra to add in to a game.The game they showed, I'm pretty sure I seen it running on a PS3 last year at a trade show on youtube. Pretty poor. Surely they should of chosen something people haven't seen before to showcase the new console.

Pretty poor. Surely they should of chosen something people haven't seen before to showcase the new console. The touch pad is the same as the one on the Vita so it's an established control option in PS structure. They showed quite a few games, which one do you mean? I can also tell you that they didn't show any AAA titles at that event, there stuff from Naughty Dog and Media Molecule very likely to be shown at E3 (which is a bigger event and the Feb event was just a teaser).
