Yeah an MP aspect combined with the difficulty of the SC franchise (except the abortion that was Societies) and the mod-ability of SC4 will be brilliant to play.

2K was excellent way back when - and still is tbh, a very pure form of the game.

However for me, 4 (deluxe) is tops - once you have modded the arse out of it.

Lead designer Stone Librande confirmed that SimCity would be an internet-dependent experience. Players will need to be online on Origin while playing, even if that wasn’t the point of purchase. The always-on connection becomes necessary with the game’s emphasis on multiplayer and regional impact, and the use of a global economy that all players can influence.

Is bad?

Quite simple really.
Forcing online play can reduce piracy.
