Coming on October 24th… and this looks so good, I might finally upgrade my GPU. 😄

RIP SimCity, thank you for all you gave to gaming, but your time is even more over now than it already was.

I wonder how long this will take to catch up to the current game though in terms of content. There's, what... 10 expansions for the original plus a dozen content packs and music packs? It's almost as extreme as The Sims.

Might be hard to dive deep into C:S2 if your used to playing C:S1 with a large amount of the expansions from the last 8 years

Maybe so. But I’ve watched a few other videos on YouTube today picking apart the new trailer, and it looks like the C:S2 base game will launch with several of the features that came later in C:S1’s life. I definitely wouldn’t blame anyone who chooses to wait and see based on their own gameplay preferences, of course! But I have a strong suspicion that many folks (myself included) will quite enjoy the new game even if the experience is less deep or complex to start with. 😄

Mods and custom content are even more important to me. That will take time too.

Seems like the vanilla buildings don't look as goofy as in CS1 but custom content makes this game for me.
