A survey currently underway, a screenshot of which has been published on reddit, provides an idea of the main axes envisaged by EA for the evolution of SimCity.
For non-English speakers, they ask what reasons might lead us to replay SimCity:
- a reconstruction tool : Repair your broken buildings after disasters for a cost.
- guilds : establish your charter, organize game sessions and challenges, filter regions to display only the members of your guild and put the regions in your guild's colors.
- direct rankings : Compete directly with your friends with direct leaderboards. Receive progress messages and missions to beat your friends.
- bus lanes : check the sequence of stops. Up to 10 stops per lane.
- up / down tool : raise or lower existing roads in order to create underground passages or viaducts.
- naming : customize your city like never before. Name your buildings, streets, businesses, and even your Sims.
- one-way streets : Create one-way streets to keep traffic flowing and create roundabouts at intersections.
- shared events : Take part in daily events that unfold in the world of SimCity such as zombie invasions or sporting events. Each event triggers special missions and rewards to decorate their city.
- larger cities : imagine spaces for your city 2x bigger than the current spaces.
- Metro : Use this classic mode of transportation in SimCity. The subway is built under the city, allowing Sims to travel.
The survey also wonders about a potential future expansion that will allow us to create at height by taking the simulation to the sky. It would be possible to create a futuristic city, with a big corporation (OmegaCorp) that would consume resources for profit. Robotics would improve services and business. A second orientation would be an elitist city where an academy would specialize in research and new technologies.
