For anyone who would like to watch the event where they will supposedly be discussing/announcing SimCity 5 (among other things I presume), you can do so here:

same, i think my favourite was simcity 2000. Granted i had more hours to waste back then but 3000 and 4 never got anywhere near as much play time as 2000... and ive still got a working copy on my pc now!

Wonders if this is sim enough for city councillors to have to play in order to keep their job.

I smell a raft of launch day DLC. Looks good but I expect it'll be all 'socialised' with facebook integration etc somehow.
Sounds a bit like Sim City Socialites plus the region play from Cities XL. Neither were well liked but we will see....
Edit: Hope they don't make the mistake Cities XL did and give you nice curvy roads but nothing to put next to them that fits, meaning a grid still the best option. I don't see any none square building in the screenshots.

I dont think i would like a 3d camera in a sims game. Would have to be static to be a proper simcity game like it always has been.

Is Simcity 4 worth a revisit (when I find a spare 20 hours) with all the modern addons/mods, or is that a silly question? 
i too had the same problem with sim city 4, my city either took ages to even start growing (maybe i was playing it wrong?) or, i ran out of money before my city started growing and people started leaving, and i couldnt afford to maintain roads etc..
i totally aced sim city 2000/3000, and filled whole XXL maps with my cities though.. hmm.

Not if you have only 20 hours to spare, needs more time then that!

I'm excited.
Of course, the NAM addon is the most important mod in my opinion; then you can go about downloading the Colossus mod and all the corresponding .bat files.Is Simcity 4 worth a revisit (when I find a spare 20 hours) with all the modern addons/mods, or is that a silly question?
SimCity 4 didn't seem hard, just have to fully utilise tax income from residential zones whilst holding back on thing like water to start with. Ensuring you are not over-paying on electricity etc. initially really helps too.

Gonna be awesome!

So 2013 hmmm, to blooming long to wait. I bet it will be 2nd half of 2013.

Can't play a single Sim City game to save my life, despite the fact that I hugely enjoy them! Frustratingly enough I cheat on all of them and can't find a nice money cheat trainer for SC4 
Looking forward to seeing how this one turns out though.
