Check this Sim City 4 image (http://www.lynko.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/sim-city4-003.jpg).
Now check this Google Maps (https://maps.google.com.br/maps?ll=44.456349,26.048096&spn=0.003715,0.005262&t=k&z=18) location.
Same angle. :D SimCity 5 could be like this. :D
Edit: Thinking better this could be pak.UltraHD
I wanted SimCity5 to be like SimCity4, only larger cities. :|
I was hoping for no more dumping pollution onto neighbours, better traffic networking and larger maps...
But there's no point asking for features when ea/maxis don't have inboxes.
There is no reason we couldn't have Simutrans looking like that image. Just need to draw the buildings like that :)
It's my eventual goal... though having shadows and alpha channel would really help the realism.
Actually, Simutrans can look just as good as Sim City 4, despite us using sprites and they a basic sort of semi-3d system. We can't look as good as SimCity (5), but we can play a great deal better.
Creepy thing; as I just saw this, and the day before last I was looking at that particular housing estate in the 45 degree view on google maps--
