IBM CityOne: A Smarter Planet Game

[ValeriePuma]

I love the dramatic music lol.

[romandiaz1978]

They spent more on the trailer then the development of the game....

Oh well, got all excited for nothing.

[chris41abca]

I enjoyed SimCity 4 but it was limited...CitiesXL really blows when you get about 500,000 people...the game works against you

[timonix2]

@chris41abca i want a sim city 5, more realistic and better gameplay than ever. Most importantly WAAY more freedom.

[chris41abca]

I wanted to see some actual gameplay....not a commercial

[Homik111]

Damn, that game sucks. Why they do that amazing trailer? Game is weird..

[marwanelhadidi]

BAD AD, BAD GAME, INSULTING TO GREAT INDUSTRIES

@Simtopia23 Sorry but that's not the CityOne I know.

[Simtopia23]

@CCinWestLA

ah ok thanks

[sepen77]

@younk. Its the Great Britain, cars drive on the opposite side...

[Simtopia23]

To fix that problem, you'll have to carefully install a real-time water management system. Or, to encourage growth in small-businesses, you'll have to set up an infrastructure of mobile payments, dynamic invoicing, and micro-lending.

Follow City One on Facebook

CityOne is much like Sim City, only the problems are scarily real, ranging among energy, water, banking, and retail. So, for example, one day you might get hit by a rapid increase in water usage due to population growth--while you're still losing 40% of your water supply to leaky pipes. (This is actually reality, in decrepit megalopolises such as Mumbai and Mexico City.)

[fixingbraincell]

so.... any update about this game?

[r0bertN]

What REALLY is one of the most important things to put attention to is the way of construction. If the construction is unrealistic, then you won't see me playing this game. But, I think that IBM is going to create a wonderful game!

I BELIEVE IN YOU IBM! =D

[Parspam]

why pay engineers when you can just outsource your engineering to the public... and call it a game so the public doesn't realize that they are making the corporation money

[Simtopia23]

omg this seems the next simcity!!O_O

[undocumentedspot]

Since it is free, it worth it no matter what.

but is this going to be sim city 5? I don't really think so , considering the nature and goal of the game.it is serious game, and I hope not too serious and forgets options to make it fun.

Meantime EA keeps ignoring the community.

[chesestiks]

its free so worth a look

[montotosk]

is not a building city game, it will not have great graphics, it's a city management game, check out the other IBM "serious games" and you'll get what is all about...

[jurasiks]

found C1 community on cityone.org

no info at all...

[beazyo6baby]

looks desent

[ajom010k]

the Graphics look amazing, i just hope the actual game is that good

[fixingbraincell]

will the graphics (buildings, cars, roads, overall shadows and real life structures) be as realistic as it is in the 90% of the trailer or will it be just like the cartoonish simcity societies style? if the ingame is indeed as realistic as the first parts of the video the im gonna buy this. .... dont tell me the ingame city will look like the shot at the end of the video because if it so then it is like expecting finding a rusty hammer in a well-designed box.

[fixingbraincell]

hmm ok

[GHhorse]

this looks promising.

[vendetta007mike]

Holy Jesus Christ! At last!

[sandyinspace]

Fabulous

[abdoelrahmanhegazy]

OFFFF I think i'm gonna get it

[wisestfoolalive]

SIMGASM!!!

[wisestfoolalive]

SIM ORGASM!!!!

[ZhaoGuolu]

0:48 cars... ...LOL

[younk]

Why are the cars driving backwards?

[llanos2]

@younk because your monitor is upside down ..... no, seriously, dont know why, but if you watch the original video at the homepage that "water" section is played in the other direction and the cars are moving normal. Only this YouTube video looks like that.....

By the way, even the boat in that section is ging backwards and looks kinda funny ...

[skandirza]

@younk Cause the footage used is likely to be "stock footage" (footage filmed by another person or company, to be used for other productions, like this one), and if they didn't reverse that stock footage, the flyby would be "wrong" (eg you would see the text already on the bridge ahead, instead of it appearing from the bottom)

[ReaperHyren]

Sim-City on crack!?

[Homik111]

I WANT it!!! When it comes?

[SimCity4IE]

I am so going to buy this =D

[burnfaint21]

1:04 real graphics of Cityone. at least better than SC4....

[eeblihp]

The new sim city?

[maxplaying]

City Bloxx

[HUJUism]

First you need Mayors who actually care about their cities! Yes I am talking about you Mayor Daley of Chicago!!!

[rogerpenna]

Sincerely, I doubt these are the game graphics..

[sinetwo]

@rogerpenna Of course they're not. But I think the cell shaded bit at the end might be?

[EmperorOfMars]

So can I call in meteor strikes when I'm done with my city?

[ugurds]

@EmperorOfMars roflmao xddddd

[GreggandFunk]

Looks about as fun as taking Hitler out on a date.

[ibytedk]

@GreggandFunk Different people different interests. I like content, knowledge and educating myself. That is fun to me. I think this game will be very rewarding.

If your an arkade kinda guy. Fun, fun, fun and no content. I see your point.

[Saiko47]

@ibytedk Different people also means different approaches to the same problem

[Domura]

@ibytedk You're a fucking loser.

[VALVeisG0D]

@GreggandFunk holy ufkcingshitthatsgoingtobefucmi­ngfunashell

[PhantomMark]

lol @ 46secs the vid is running backwards, the cars and boat going in reverse, a small thing but made me smile :)

Looks like like a promising title I think :)

[kam5381]

@PhantomMark Me too!  You beat me to the post! :-)

[devianaut]

i agree with the guy below... if the graphics are anything close to the first part of the video (and i can imagine that at least during the building phase, it might look cartoonish near the end of the video), then count me in! screw simcity if the simulation is much better and more realistic. this would be a great game for strategists!

[rogerpenna]

@devianaut

a friend played and said the actual game is crap.

[devianaut]

@rogerpenna yup, you are absolutely right. i "played" it (if it can be called that)... it's like a stupid robotic simulation. it's nowhere NEAR what they advertise it as. i'm more than bummed.

it's not even a "game". at all. nowhere near.

[rogerpenna]

@devianaut

too bad... the first time I saw the trailer I got excited. Then I watched it again and became suspicious... those looked like pre-rendered graphics... maybe even photoshoped real cities photos... the lack of any gameplay video or even screenshots at the internet made me a sketptic, and then it was confirmed, by my friend, by you...

[devianaut]

@rogerpenna yeah i feel so bummed. it's like an auto-simulation with a no-failure type of strategy. you have different outcomes... gah, i'm done talking about this, seriously. i feel ill just giving it more than a few sentences...

...back to MINECRAFT!

[OwnerGodi]

Nice! Can't wait!

[RaistOrange]

Looking forward to it!

[djrydak]

great!

[JoshPattonDotNet]

The graphics have a nice touch to them. (Last part)

[jamesgotman]

yeh looks like the shit last 10% and that looks about the same as simcity and owrse than sims 1 2 3

[tmservo]

Yeah, if those are ingame type graphics, then this could be insane.

[Davidh258]

This looks INTENSE.

[rock99rock]

If the graphics are anything like the first 90% of the video, and the idea/gameplay is similar to but expanded upon on SimCity, count me in.

[BrokeToeProductions]

@rock99rock I'm thinking the graphics are going to be like the last 10% of the video.
