EA Maxis’ SimCity Gameplay Strategies Video Explains the Basics

October 4, 2012 by Ian Miles Cheong

EA Maxis has released a new video for SimCity to explain the basics of the game.

SimCity

EA Maxis has put out the release of a new video showcasing close to 10 minutes of gameplay of the new SimCity, which is currently in development at the studio. The video is the first of its kind, in that it actually depicts how the game is played rather than how its underlying mechanics are supposed to function.

It is the first in a series of “Gameplay Strategies” videos that EA Maxis plans to release, and features the narration of lead designer Stone Librande as he walks us through the basics of the new game.

As it’s close to 10 minutes in length, you might want to grab a soda and get comfortable before you hit the play button.

“SimCity is about endless choices. Ultimately you can do whatever you want, focus on growing your population, increasing wealth or even build a city that looks like your hometown.

“Whatever your motivation, you have to the power to experiment with a number of different strategies. How you choose to play will influence your city, the neighboring cities and the lives of all the Sims across the region.”

The new SimCity is set for release in February 2013 for the PC and Mac. It’s currently available for preorder through both digital and retail distributors, including EA’s own Origin platform.
