EA Releases A New Video Showing Fire Danger In SimCity

One of the highlights of any simulation game is cruelly destroying the creations.

With this new SimCity video, EA and Maxis show us how fire can spread rather rapidly, easily destroying towns without the proper placement of fire stations.

While the video isn’t an example of SimCity‘s finished graphics, the way in which fire will spread from house to house seems not only interesting, but also somewhat realistic.

The Glass Box engine looks like it can simulate fire behavior very well, but I’m waiting for the engine’s power to be truly tested.

SimCity is set for release sometime next year. Stay tuned to GAMEBREAKER for future updates.

    What I learned from this newsbreak: Mike S did not know what American Dad was until recently.

    It will be great and all until EA disables your fire department then locks you out of your city altogether!

    Won’t follow it until it’s near release.  There was SimCity (Before Societies) that ended up getting cancelled midway through production.  Really annoying cause I was looking forward to it, videos etc looked good.  Then it was cancelled :(

    SimsVille is what I was thinking of.

    Do you highly recommend it because they sponsor you or because you randomly decided to advertise for them?  Ads are OK but don’t bullshit.
