That is precisely why I am glad it is adjustable.

Are you just a general enthusiast of the game or more than that (ie. developer, etc)?

Not a lot of screenshots of the UI being posted...worrisome?

Just enthusiast, I see these screenshots on twitter and repost them here so CP can see them.

Simply the fact that UI is generally considered "ugly" in screenshots. Most games have the ability to hide the UI for screenshots.

The UI has been seen plenty of times.

All of these videos (note the population numbers on the UI in these videos are not correct, and that the UI changes with each successive video!):

Here are some screenshots of the UI:

That looks like a trailer park, I'm betting meth labs.

..... oh god I want meth labs in simcity 5 now.

Wow. Three blog posts in three days.

Some of you may have been wondering why colours look different in different screenshots.

The answer is HERE.

I am ridiculously excited about that blog entry. So awesome.

I am really hoping they bring back ports, loved building my industrial sector around them.

I cant see how they cant have subways.

I am sure there will be a "Rush Hour" upgrade released 18 months after - I hope I have the will power to wait until it comes out

Some high-res screenshots of the filters in use:

I don't really get the filters. I guess I will have to see when I play the game, but from my perspective now, I think I'll play with no filtering.

Thats part of the draw to this game for me; being able to have multiple cities that serve different purposes is something Ive always wanted. Have one giant hellhole for heavy industry, poor people, coal powerplants, and garbage, all just to serve as the "Ogden" for a nearby hightech, dense, urban utopia.
