What Do You Hope For In Cities Xxl?

I just watched the CXL 2012 trailer. I hadn't seen it before. It's very similar to the CXXL Life in the city trailer. I'm starting to become very concerned. Also, still no gameplay footage. How hard can it be?

There's a screenshot of the new UI in the Twitter and Facebook comments section. Looks similar to the old one.

 

I'm concerned that the reason they're not showing off the new features of the game is because there isn't any, at least not visual ones. I don't understand them not promoting the changes to the game before the launch.

I'm convinced that passenger and freight rail services will not be included, otherwise it would be a key part of the game promotion.

 

I believe FHI have already said what is new on their facebook pages and new xxl site.

 

This is my hope too, but so far it doesn't seem like they've shown much work. Let's hope it's their marketing that sucks and development.

 

Well there will be 5 new maps and a bunch of gimmicks with multicore engine and renewed GUI.

The rail, does it ever appear in this game with a feature or a enhanced mod - it's not much to change the game and gameplay. Unfortunately CXL is played to the boredom for many people.

FHI has sold CXL some 3 million copies, they isn't much target group to sell on, so it will be added in packs. A plus 1 game that they (FHI) never really fixed.

Surely I will get the new game and play it around but there is also Skylines - which I think will be the new focus also on this site. But we wont forgot CXL, hence mods will be made compatible for CXXL.

 

well at this point I don't think I expect anything different, accept maybe multy core support and that just supposedly gives me smoother play at larger populated cities, which to me was a rare problem anyway, I don't even know what "bigger" used by them even means....bigger cities(pop) since nicko confirmed same size maps, So I have no hopes or anticipation for this release
Basically purchasing the next release depends on what most of the members here do, if modding migrates to new release then I will go with new release, if we find out that moneys made from new release will bring rail dlcs then I will purchase, but as right now I have realy no incentive to purchase it

 

They just announced that thirty Monty's mods will be avaivable at the game's release. Which is kinda dissapointing...I'd be glad if they ask modders to make something new for XXL, but using old mods that community already have for so long?

 

Well in this game Wich looks the same graphically I realy don't mind as long as is multicore suport and it MUST not lag I always wanted to make a big city map no lags !

 

Well I was very excited about this game. But I'm becoming increasingly worried. The skies are the only thing FHI have shown us. They have refused to answer questions about the games engine and seem very reluctant to release a gameplay video or give advanced copies to gaming websites like IGN for previews. The have listed all the new features on their website, like the new user interface, but fail to show us any of them. Everyone's in the dark about this game. I don't have huge expectations, but I would like to see a bit more before I buy it.

 

Hmmm , so if thirty old mods are released for this does that mean with the pictures of new gui, that we will not need a new uim to continue modding?

 

There will be a new community patch that will add a custom User interface.

 

Sorry but what I really can´t get about this "new" game is that we still haven't a single gameplay video!! The game will be released next week and nor even a gameplay?!?!? Isn't there anything new to this game to be shown??? The lack of a gameplay video sounds strange for me, sorry again!!

 

I guess people just don't trust FHI.

 

It's their baby - should of been done long time ago we alll acknowledge that. Important thing is we see progress.
As I say llike it or lump it, or get over it
