they should incorporate that kind of stuff. how awesome would it be to see a random plane in an emergency and land on one of your freeways? or a helicopter that loses power and crashes into a neighborhood? they should have a lot more mini-disasters that are out of the player's hands, sometimes i want to see a little destruction but not have half my city blown up

In SimCity 2000 you could force a helicopter to crash by clicking on it with the centering tool selected. It was a nice little mini-disaster.

Does anyone know if the Mac version of the game is set to co-release with the PC version? There seems to be a lack of information about this (or an implicit assumption there will be a co-release in the articles I read), and when I look at the pre-order stuff, it's all PC only.

sclitheroe, I don't think there has been anything official but word is that the Mac version will NOT be ready for March 5th.

A great series of screenshots from SimCity Art Director, Ocean Quigley. This is one of the cities he is building at home in his spare time. He is posting the screens to his blog but I thought I would post them here for everyone on CP to see! First though, a picture of the man:

i wish they'd put in an option to let you pick a timeframe for your city and freeze it there. make a 1920's Atlantic City, or a 1930's Chicago, or even an 80's Miami

maybe in an expansion pack

I would love to see the time thing as well where you can chose what year you start your city and then progress it through time with vehicle and building changes.

I would love to start a city in the old west and then watch it grow and change to today.

It would be awesome seeing cowboys on horses and stage coaches then the first cars then the classic car eras then bam hover cars.

This game won't run on my PC, it's far too beautiful. I hope it's delayed by a year when I want to upgrade.

Or it could come out on time and you can buy it when you upgrade.

Man this game looks awesome. I haven't owned a PC in probably 5-6 years, but I'm going to buy one for sure in the next couple of months.

I always appreciate the little details in games.. something as simple as having protesters out in front of City Hall.

I am sooo going to build the worst city eva.

High Density apartment buildings next to smog creating factories. Coal power plant right next to the cities powersupply.

One police and fire stations for every 100,000 people.

Oh and traffic circles, lots of traffic circles.
