Maxis creative director
Ocean Quigley tweets about how many regions players will be able to own in the upcoming
SimCity reboot: "You can have up to 10 regions (in total, regardless of whether they're private or shared with other players)" (thanks Joao). Also,
Destructoid has details on how the game will have about 18 different visual filters, saying the developers are taking particular mercy on those (like myself) with color vision deficiencies: "Depending upon your form of colorblindness, you have different transforms. If you are red-green colorblind, you don't have much sensitivity in the red-green range. So what I've had to do for that is to pull some of the stuff that would normally be merged together into the blue channel and to pop the contrast on red and green as much as possible so that people that have some limited sensitivity to red green can still see what's going on," Ocean Quigley explains. "These transforms are collectively called daltonism. So we've done basically those transforms for the three most common forms of colorblindness." On a related note, there are hands-on previews of the game based on a few hours with the beta on
Computer and Video Games,
IGN,
Kotaku,
PC Gamer, and
Shacknews.

It's not really a matter of being spineless, but being borderline addicted. It's like music, or other forms of entertainment. People bemoan the business model and quality of these things CONSTANTLY, but are not willing to go without it because they'd get something resembling withdrawal symptoms. A crack head might not like it when he gets some bad rock, but what's he gonna do, go without? |
