You can make a road go up/down/into the ground/etc. -Advanced road drawing mode where you can design before you confirm building the road (see iPhone simcity) - Upgradable roads where you can add extra lanes, carpool lanes, shoulders, etc. We already know we are getting curvy roads which is awesome. -Intersection customization - convert from stop sign to stop light. Put in yielding right turns. Control stoplight timing, road priorities, etc. 3-5 pronged intersections if desired. - Circle intersections of course. - More methods of transportation: light rail, monorail, bike trails, subways, customizable subway stations, etc. - Sim copter mode where you can fly over your city and use the megaphone. (get movin' you stupid Canadians!) - Elections. Sort of controversial but it could be an option you turn on. Every x years... an election is run to see if you can continue playing your city. You can spend lots of money and buy off people, or you can try and get a good mayor rating... your opponent would be random but would get harder and harder as you kept playing the game. - Park zones. For god's sakes park zones. (can't tell you how annoying placing little parks everywhere can be). - Real time. You can slow the game down to the point where 1 hour in real life is 1 hour in the game world. Or you can speed it up so that a year goes by in a minute. Big giant slider to control this :) - Rewind button. Hey Pushmo had it! - - Feel free to add to this! |
Most of the road/transport things you mentioned were added to Sim City 4 via modding, (if you play SC4, look up the NAM - network addon mod - it's brilliant, a must-have) so it would be a shame if they don't appear in SC5. Controlling intersections sounds way too complicated, menial, too much micro-management is a very bad thing.
But, park zones. Yes. Please. This. So bad.
