IBM CityOne Trailer: A Smarter Planet Game 9/24

Check out the latest trailer for IBM's CityOne game. CityOne allows business and civic leaders to simulate how they can apply technology concepts in new and innovative ways to solve the problems facing their cities and businesses.

The initial version of the game will showcase nearly 100 innovative technology solutions in the water, energy, retail and banking industries and demonstrate how these technologies can address the issues facing businesses and cities today and in the future. Many of these solutions feature leading IBM analytical and collaborative technologies such as business process management, customer portals, and data analytics.

Although this game is neither equivalent to a Sim City 5 nor an urban planning tool (as it does not feature any geographically specific data), this free serious game is meant to explain how select industry solution systems interact, build on one another, and affect change in industries. The game also is a conversation starter on how industries can evolve.

I still say The Venus Project is so much better then this. Look it up on here its an amazing concept, along with The Zeitgeist Movement. :)

@NESARAascension

I agree, the Venus Project is genuine in its intentions and solutions for a better world. This CityOne seems nothing more than marketing for IBM. It's pretty obvious we need to move to cleaner energy, but more importantly we also need an economical system that can support it.

@frems SimCity has been done already so why build another one just like it? :)

When I saw the first trailers, I really hoped to have something more or less similiar to simcity. I mean, a real game where you can build your city and face the challenges. Now I see nothing but picking "clean energy" for saving your environment and so on. PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong.
