Forums - Gaming - Do PS3 or XBOX360 have enough juice to run SimCity 4?

Galaki on 26 May 2008

If so, I would like EA to actually port the PC version over to make it more popular.

When the City is young and lacking structure, it's fine on weaker computers. But when the city starts to grow and buildings popping up all over the places, things can slow down to a crawl, even on the lowest graphics setting.

I have since upgrade my computer to dual core with 2G RAM from single core with 1G RAM. I might have to start playing again to see if a full blown city with max graphics setting would slow things down. Currently running 2600HD 512DDR3 card.

All the SimCity talk is making me wanting to play SC4 all over again...

I kinda stopped reading after seeing "EA" and "Porting".

Will it be playable? Absolutely, Will you want to play half-assed ports? Well, if they can ruin one of the best games of all time "Orange Box" through porting, I'm sure they will have no problem ruining this one too.

That's a pretty cool idea to expand the series' popularity. My comp doesn't seem to have much trouble at the moment though.

Only problem is, my SimCity 4 tends to crash after about 10 minutes of playing :(
Probably all the mods.

Agree,  that thing usually eats around 450mb to 700mb with medium level cities...

I guess that would be the case with Civilization Revolution, or, why they didn't simply made Civ5 or simply port a "dumbed down" Civ4. it would be funny to see a Huge game in the 1900's :P



the words above were backed by NUCLEAR WEAPONS!

By the way, what are the games requirements/ recommendations?

lol, only if the PS3 (more likely) and 360 (less likely) versions allow you to use a mouse and keyboard.

Micromanage a game like that with a controller :P

I could be wrong about this, but I think Sid Meier explained he wanted to put a more console friendly take on Civilization on the consoles. This project is supposed to be important to him, so he's personally working on it. I don't think it had to do with them not being able to port Civ4 or just make Civ5, he just wanted to make something different.
