CitiesXL Screenshots: Bringing City Back

Related Topics – CITIES XL, screenshots, PC

Looking for a SimCity fix? Developer Monte Cristo is revving up to release CitiesXL (PC) this year, as evidenced by these new screenshots.

CitiesXL is set to expand the city simulation genre with detailed urban modeling and plenty of online features. Players will build cities on a persistent, interconnected planet, participating in a realistic global economy with other mayors.

Monte Cristo is also planning to release small, priced modules for the game. One such module planned is an airport expansion, which would essentially act as a Tycoon-style simulation played within your own city.

The ambitious title is expected to hit stores later this year.

so they're going to charge for the online portion of the game and there will be "small, priced modules"? Does every company need to rape the customer these days?

I've been aching for a new city planning game. Or even a decent, modern tycoon game.

I've been playing tonnes of OTTD/Transport Tycoon lately.

This looks exciting. Sounds like it'll be the Microsoft Flight Simulator of tycoon games.

There are no people or cars anywhere, must be some pretty shitty cities they built there.

Game is looking fantastic, but I worry as to the content. They still have not shown off any of the mechanics of the game. Road demos, and screenshots only do so much, really need a new SImCity, so I hope this turns out great.

  Their previous game was pretty simple and boring, so I'm not expecting much more. : st4rdog

Sounds kickass, I miss SimCity and games like that, without the Casual focused crap or the plain and simple options with no depth. I hope this is oldschool with innovations.

Why does it look so terrible compared to earlier screens? And paying to buy modules? how about you die of rectal leprosy instead.
