14 DAY TRIAL // The development team at Maxis and publisher Electronic Arts have launched two videos for SimCity featuring franchise creator Will Wright, and the creative director working on the game is very satisfied with his reaction to the new game mechanics.
Ocean Quigley tells IncGamer that “The fact that we reinvented it enough and he pays attention to it at all is basically a win as far as I’m concerned.”
The developer believes that Maxis has reinvented SimCity enough to make it interesting to its creator, and that the same core experience will appeal to old fans of the series who might have previously abandoned it.
The new SimCity focuses heavily on regions made up of interconnected settlements, allowing players to establish links and work together on a number of projects that can benefit all of them.
