One side of me wants to punch Ocean in the nuts for sharing these screenshots because I can't play RIGHT NOW and the other side is so stoked every time he releases a new one.

Two more from Ocean, these two are from a high-tech city with high density, high wealth residential and commercial:

A great new blog up on the SimCity website about City Services. It is a great read and you can find it here.
If you want to read the other blog enteries go here.
It should also be noted that there have been a few tweets from the developers today that they are hosting a lot of US press in the office today, playing the game. So expect a ton of articles coming out soon.
Some shots of the setup:

I'm pretty much buying a computer just to run this game 
Will a GeForce GT 630M 1GB or an NVIDIA GT 640M (1GB VRAM) do the trick for this?

I'll say, if you zoom in, one of them in the cluster on the lawn looks like Rick Bell.

I bought Sim City 4 on Steam a week ago in preparation for this game. Making sure I'm as top shape as possible to help build our CP empire!

Head over to simtropolis.com and check out the massive amount of mods available. Mind blasting.

I'm loving the nuclear powerplant in the downtown core.
In the older Sim cities when Powerplants hit the end of life they exploded, I wonder if this will happen here.

Anyone else find the colours all look muted for some reason? Like there's some kind of filter overlay?

Ya, but it will probably be pretty slow in high res. I would expect some chugging and having to play in low(er) resolution

The Tilt-Shift low angle stuff is awesome looking in screenshots, but it would definitely be the worst thing ever in the game.
"Hmm, seeing some red stuff up there in the distance... either my city's on fire or a new brick building was just built..."
