Thursday 7-Jun-2007 10:53 AM Will Wright's studio hands coding duties to Caesar IV dev, Tilted Mill - first game details inside
5 Comments
More details have emerged on Electronic Arts' upcoming SimCity sequel, and it looks like original developer Maxis has little or nothing to do with the project.
SimCity Societies, as it's being called, has been handed over to Caesar IV developer Tilted Mill Entertainment, who will be taking over development duties from Will Wright's Maxis.
EA officially confirmed the game in a chat with Joystiq. According to an unamed EA exec, the reason behind the Societies name is that it's "completely different from SimCity 4, so they're trying to come up with something different than just calling it SimCity 5."
"...I do not want to mislead anyone: This SC is not a realistic urban simulation, which I understand, to many, represents the heart of what SC is," he said. "No one is blind to that. And if you're just completely turned off, even angered by the mere notion of any game called 'SimCity' that is not a detailed, realistic urban simulator, I absolutely understand that viewpoint, and absolutely respect it."
"I do want to say, though (with no insult intended to die hard SC fans)," he adds, "that we are absolutely thrilled to be a part of this venerable series, are extremely proud of what we have put together, and make no apologies about what we have managed to create. And while our past experiences (including contributions from many of you) certainly inform all our ongoing efforts, this SC is its own unique creation."

Something BIG is being announced this Friday for the PC and according to Jeff Green's 1Up blog, Quote: |
I'm not allowed to tell you what it is yet, but will be posting the cover next Friday, jeebus willing. Suffice it to say it's the new game in one of PC gaming's oldest franchises--a series w/bazillions of fans. Ryan Scott wrote the story and did his usual kickass job, because Ryan KICKS ASS.
| Well since Starcraft II was already announced, Duke Nukem Forever? My guess is a new Wolfenstein game but we will find out this Friday. Stay Tuned in this thread. Jeff Green's 1UP Blog: July GFW coming soon! Yay!

| | | It's not terribly old, but I'm hoping for a Blizzard double feature starring Starcraft II and Diablo III.
If it's Diablo III, Craig might lose his job and his wife will throw him to the curb.

My guesses are either Diablo 3, Warcraft 4 or a new X-COM game (and outside chance, but the old X-COM game is on Steam now)

: 83 rd | | | why would they randomly announce diablo 3 when they have blizzcon and mini e3. i think DNF is a good guess, the announcmenet would be "we are done." i guess there is a slight chance it is fallout 3 screenshots, as the countdown on the fallout site ends next week. my best guess it a new sim city
