E3 2012: EA announces SimCity social for Facebook
‘More city, less ville’
EA’s foray into social gaming is set to continue in the next few weeks with the release of SimCity Social on Facebook.
As with Sims Social, this new SimCity is very much focused on working together with friends and building up your town by – what looks like – completing objectives.
Build it upFamiliar SimCity elements such as the alien UFO and the usual city-planning, grid system made an appearance during the presentation video, albeit with a more cartoony look than traditional SimCity games.
Cryptically, EA described the title in the promotional video as ‘More city, less ville’, which seems to suggest it won’t lean on waiting times as much as Zynga’s popular title.
The game is expected to launch within the next few weeks.
