The universe will implode.

Kidding. At the worst you'd be £18 down.

Your telling me but what are the possible repercussions of this?

About the same as when we do it with Steam, none

I still haven't worked out how to checkout though, there is no PayPal option?

will the servers be regioin based though? no good connecting to indian servers

Was looking at this on-line on the purple highstreet store and they list on the Limited Edition to allow you to oversee upto 16 cities.

Now I do not know if this is true as I can't seem to find it referenced elsewhere, anyone know if this is true?

It may well be true But who knows for sure until release.

Found a link on the Reddit Simcity site that may help - Look for the post labelled "Stats for all buildable locations" currently #9 on the list.

Ok I will take a look at the link

Looks like it should be renamed Sim "City"

Every screenshot looks like it's 4 house and a shop, and utterly pointless.

How well with this run on a mac mini (2.3ghz, 8gb ram, mid 2011 model)?

I'm aware it won't be ideal, but I don't fancy building a PC purely for Sim City V

Depends whether the game codes are region locked?

probably wont be a multilingual copy of the game like the russian Bf3 was only russian but luckily you could download the english language files although everytime there was a patch you had to wait for the fix...

I suspect with sim city EA will have stopped that entirely and have the language files hardlocked

It ran fine on medium settings for me on a [email protected], 4GB RAM, 460GTX.

So I would have thought it will be fine?

nantucket66 · 19 Feb 2013 at 23:37

I've never played a game on the mac mini, so I've no idea, just use it for itunes, plex and handbrake.

I got rid of my gaming pc a couple of year ago and just have the mac and a very average laptop (and a ps3 for gaming). I used to love Sim City though.

I keep toying with the idea of building another decent pc, but I always get carried away and go over the top so I keep stopping myself :rolleyes:

Should run just fine, either in Boot Camp or whenever they bother releasing the Mac client.

Gangster · 20 Feb 2013 at 19:16

Did the beta allow multiplayer? If so how is it? 24hr beta test was too short, missed it! Really should've been 3 days!

*Rich* · 20 Feb 2013 at 20:57

I didn't see any Multiplayer action on my end, so presume not.

This is what I am wondering which is why I haven't ordered it yet. Can't find anything that says it is region locked though.

Did you contact them through the contact page?

Despite contacting them before you, I've yet to get a reply.

Yes, through the web form and then just replying to the email they send me.

robfosters · 21 Feb 2013 at 15:52

Just double checking.

The city sets will be separate DLC if I don't fancy splashing out £65 at the start won't they?

robfosters · 21 Feb 2013 at 19:52

Does no one know the answer to my question :confused:

Carlow · 21 Feb 2013 at 21:04

you can already get them for £20 from Origin
