Is anyone else excited about this? I wish I knew when it was coming out, but I sure hope it's worth the wait.

Is it going to be as powerful as Vissim?

Looks really cool.  Too bad it's Windows-only (I remember a brief era when some companies were making games compatible with Stream OS/Linux, but that seems to be done), though my laptop's lack of a dedicated video card would probably be an issue too.  Were it not for that, I'd probably jump on this.

Something tells me I probably can't convince IT to install this on my work computer.  Anyone know how to learn Vissim? :-D

I liked Junxion Boys when ESPN did movies.

So basically, this is something akin to Sim City 2000 (speaks to when I stopped playing PC games) with more of an emphasis on traffic control?

I have a feeling that someone's going to copy off Chicago and build the Hypotenuse Expressway through it very soon! (since the new game will let you import Google Maps into it for a more realistic experience)

Basically, although, based on what I know about it, I don't think there is going to be any emphasis on growing a city's population or economy, or zoning or building placement. And the traffic engineering/transportation planning features are going to be far more advanced than those in Cities Skylines 2.
