Possible New Game: Cities Xxl?

For hardcore builders like me, I just wish they could make the game smooth and compatible to CXL building mods, current map is actually large enough to build. It's just the ongoing slow down really a pain in the a$$.

 

I don't know why but I am a bit sceptical about this...
Maybe it will be the same game as 2012 but including multi-core support.

I would like to see official announcement of this to believe 100% this game is work-in-progress

 

We've had the same old game the last three times. 2011, 2012 and Platinum were basically just small upgrades of the original game. Time has passed and we've seen SimCity 2013 fail, and now with Cities Skylines looking good and The Architect Paris also looking promising, Cities XXL is going to have to be more than just another small upgrade to keep up.
It also seems like a lot of work to recreate the game engine for multicore support. I don't see them going to all this trouble and only adding a few bigger maps and buildings. Especially when a large part of the City Building Community are still playing Simcity 4 and don't like CXL as it feels dead and sterile in their opinions. At least that's the feedback on the Cities Skylines Forum atm. Also the words "filled to the brim" with new features makes me a little excited, even though I'm sceptical of the whole situation. It just seems to good to be true.

 

I hope all past mods to run on Cities XXL

 

It seems all mods are gonna run on CXL. cos. they are using exactly the same old fking engine, same old buildings, they haven't even improved the lighting system....Hope they can completely fix the lagging issue, otherwise it would just be a waste of money to purchase the new game.

 

It would be too great an idea to add multicore support to cxxl. Bah....I've been suffering from lagging FPS for 3 years 

 

I hope for that, too Skullz.

 

Multicore support, fixing the lags and memory leaks and many many other annoying bugs would be a reason for me to buy that Cities XXL. Actually i like the graphics, buildings and other stuff in the game as it is. Thanks to the modders this game is the best city builder on market, and with the pronounced improvements it gets a big growth of quality and community i think! I'm tuned!

 

Yes! It's not much, but it's something. It looks very similar, which hints we may be able to use mods from the previous titles.

 

nice looks like they updated the skybox? different environment views perhaps

Well according to the official announcement.

It's too early to get excited, from the first screenshot it looks like Platinum 2.

They are saying multi core is not the only feature and I will add of fu#*ing course is not the only one...

I agree with @The Funky Monk bigger maps and rail are the two MUST BE features than everything else is a plus, but it depends also on the release date, if it's far away, they must give us something more!

P.S. Well I bet Cities Skylines will listen even more to the community now as they are the only new city builder anymore!

 

They should give us here at XL nation beta test privileges. We'd wring it out good

 

Wow!!! I'm 99% sure will buy it if it will be available!!!
My hopes (ordered by importance):
1. Multicore and 64 bit Support
2. Larger Maps
3. Railroad and more public transport options.
4. Much more maps.
5. More realistic texture and curves.
