Brought to you by Colossal Order, the development team behind Cities in motion one and two.
 
Originally developing on their in-house engine for one, CO switched to the Unity 4 engine for the build of CIM2. I recall a conversation I had with some friends, when they announced the move to Unity, that Colossal Order now had the potential now to make the next great city builder, and I'm sure Cities: Skylines will be the foundations of that new franchise.

CO has already implemented a strong suit of modding tools, and they have nailed the road building system, keep your eyes on this one folks ;)

Yeah, I am definitely keeping my eye on this one. Really hoping for greatness.

Waiting for this one as well! The creators said in an interview that they want their game to be able to do everything the new Simcities can't do. Hopefully they will manage to provide a game at least as fun as SC4.

That leaves pretty much everything, eh?  ;D

Errr yes, I guess the real meaning behind this was "everything SC4 offered that the new Simcities don't" :)

Yes, the new version has been a major disappointment for me. There were so many good things in SC 4 that could have been made better but just completely disappeared. I'm not even sure that the new version was a real sequel for the original.

I am hoping that Cities: Skylines will live up to its potential.

Same here. I really liked the fact that you were a "real" mayor: you did not build private houses or business buildings, you just allowed entreprenors and citizens to do so on specific lands. The challenge was to get those 3d parties to come and invest in your city by developping accurately all the infrastructures a modern city and its inhabitants need.

In my opinion this is the closest a city builder came to real life.

I have very high hopes for this game! I hear that the game will be released in April. Colossal Order made several videos and developer diaries showing off various aspects of the game. There will be specialized industry including ore, petroleum, forestry, and agriculture. Specialized industry has 2 parts: extraction (mines, pumps/drills, tree plantations, and farms/orchards/pastures) and processing (foundries, refineries, mills, and food processing factories). Normal, generic industry will require processed resources to manufacture goods to be sold in shops. High density residential is for young singles and childless couples. Low density residential is for the elderly and families. Offices have high tax revenue but require educated workers. There are 5 levels of residential, 3 or 4 levels of education, and 3 levels of shops, generic industry, and offices.

I liked it. I hope to forget the recent failure of Cities XXL. It was much worse than I thought it would be.

Keeping my fingers crossed as well. I've already pre-order the game (first time ever pre-ordering a game) so you can see my expectations are high. :D

I'm getting pretty excited! SC 2013 (or whatever that year was) Was a huge disappointment. And, silly me, I bought all of the Cities XL line, even going back to the original--what was that called?-- and each and every one of them was a disappointment.   :'(   >:(  I did learn something, though. I waited until the later games were deeply discounted and avoided XXL altogether.   :)   In this case, though I have really enjoyed both Cities in Motion and Cities in Motion 2, so I'm hoping the streak continues.

After watching some of Skye's videos I went and plunked down a pre-order for the first time as well. And it was 32.99 CAD!

My expectations are a bit higher than that @rkelly17 , I bought the deluxe version Skylines Deluxe Edition for €36,99   ;D
