@kenhukushi16373 years ago That's a lot of splines to reticulate. 512
@

@Chronosv23 years ago This actually reminds me of SimCity 2000 for PlayStation 1. There was a "Drive" mode where you could drive a car through your city. Well, there were no driving physics, but it was still fun to tool around in your cities built right into the game. ... 27
@

@metacob3 years ago What I miss about the 90s is this amazement I felt whenever I saw something going from 2D to 3D.
It was this very special feeling. As a kid I would go to this store that had an N64 with Mario 64 playing, and I was absolutely mesmerized by moving around as Mario in 3D. Similar feeling with Zelda, and later when GTA 3 came out. The closest thing to that feeling is the jump to VR. ... 69

@nekomasteryoutube32323 years ago To be honest I'd like a version of SimCity 2000 that looked like this with these camera controls. 109
@

@ncot_tech3 years ago This should be the game... Forget highly rendered 3D models and modern graphics. An untextured low poly 3D city simulator needs to exist. 5
@

@guerillagrueplays63013 years ago You know, a "Playing SimCity2000 in 2021' video on the main channel would be pretty darn cool to see. Talk about all three of these projects together in the same video, and about how well the experience of 2K holds up nowadays compared to other alternatives. ... 21

@thomasg863 years ago Really shows you how pathetically small those SimCity 2013 maps were.
Man, this would have blown my 12yo mind. It's kind of blowing my 34yo mind. 61
@

@rougenaxela3 years ago This 3d viewer reminds me of how it was seriously rad flying around my Sim City 2000 maps in Simcopter. I really enjoyed Simcopter back in the day. 6

@jansenart03 years ago Well, now I want a new Streets of Simcity game. 8
@

@KingLich4513 years ago there should be a modern port of sc2k and embed this thing in there, just make a city and walk around it 27
@

@Pixelmusement3 years ago Can you pilot the camera through road tunnels? That was one thing I was impressed SimCopter could do was if you got out and walked through a road tunnel you could indeed go through the entire length and reach the other side! :o ... 23

@LonSeidman3 years ago This is cool! They need to add a VR mode! 88
@

@mattstreicher87413 years ago I remember playing SC2K for the PS1 and driving around the cities, imagining what it would be like to be able to freely explore. I spent way too many hours with that version of the game. 4

@StunnaRascal3 years ago We need whole game in style like this. 21

@jaikishorsharan59713 years ago If it used HW Acceleration you can try to load it into VorpX. That is a kind of VR wrapper, that is far from perfect, but better than nothing. 8
@

@morgansinclair63183 years ago It reminds me of the opening to You Got Mail. Gods, that movie is so delightfully dated now. Still, I like it, but I am a sucker for some classic 90's romcoms. Plus, the music is great. 1
@

@vettafaene3 years ago Wow! Reminded me of early development of Midtown Madness when I saw those 3d screen shots. Streets of Sim City and Sim Copter are some of my favorite games!!
Glorious days..

@

@dancingwiththedogsdj3 years ago Geez, I forgot about SimCopter and whatnot.... Excited much there, sir??? 😂😂 Don't blame you the slightest.... Makes me feel so much better for being as excited as you were, just watching you play around with it. I remember spending so many weekend nights on a Tandy 1000HX playing the original SimCity then the various versions throughout the years. Absolutely loved the vid! ❤️❤️❤️ 🚨🔥🌪️☄️🌉 ...

@

@yellowberryHN3 years ago What's crazy about this, is literally 2 days ago, I was suddenly struck to do the same thing, completely unaware of any of this. I haven't gotten nearly as far as this project, but my eventually goal is to make spiritual successors to SimCopter and Streets of SimCity using what I learn. ... 3
@

@0XFVCKS3 years ago What a coincidence, I was downloading simcopter and streets of simcity yesterday (and of course krimsky's patches). I'm definitely gonna try SC2KR. 11
@

@akuyume73 years ago This is beautifully done. What a nostalgia trip, SC2k was my favorite game as kid.
@

@AltimeterAlligator3 years ago Very impressive! I want to see Magnasanti in this thing, but that's a SimCity 3000 map. Maybe one day. 1
@

@NoshAbroad3 years ago Back in the late 1990s I worked at maxis. It was a pretty dark time for Maxis about two years before EA took over. At that time we put out two rather unimpressive games. Sim Copter and The Streets of Sim City. These were our first Direct X games (DX4?) These games did let you import you SC2k files and see them in 3D. Just consider that was the best we could do at Maxis at the time and Development of SC3K was NOT going well. Internally they were demanding it be 3D but the dev team KNEW the game would be so bad it would kill the franchise and the company. The writing was on the wall and EA got a very sweet deal paying less that the cash Maxis had in the bank. ... 3
@

@RS250Squid3 years ago All the cities I built in SC2K as a kid and I've only got four saved safely away in 2021.
But HAMSTERD.SC2 does look quite awesome in 3D!
@

@Mech43 years ago I never knew that SimCity 3000 was originally planned to be in 3D. Interesting.
I remember roving around cities I'd built in Streets of SimCity. being able to see what you'd created up close and in 3D was really cool at the time. ...
@

@advang48203 years ago This really brings me back to playing Simcity on PS1 memories, where you can drive around and view your own city in 3D.
I hope the same thing can be done with Transport Tycoon.
It's like the PS1 version of TT, where there's an option to play and view the world in full fledged 3D. ...
@

@VargavinterSWE3 years ago This is such a nostalgia explosion! This hits all the good old gaming vibes.
@

@Jagerbomber3 years ago SimCity in 3D. What a time to be alive. If only Maxis were around to see this.

@MK-of7qw3 years ago Id love to see the game playable like this. 1

@jondorthebrinkinator3 years ago Holy crap, there's a fan patch for Streets of Simcity? Time to get me the hover and bounce upgrades and cruise around the sky like it's 2015. 1
@

@IRWPD3 years ago That is amazing. My hat goes off to the people that made this program.
@

@MAIcrosoft3 years ago Kinda reminds me of Sim City 64 for the Japan exclusive 64DD. The gameplay was basically SC2K converted in 3D but really well done. It also has a mode where you can go first person, walk around and get feedback from your citizens by talking to them. Other than walking mode you could also explore your city by bus, train or helicopter which is super awesome. There is even a day and night cycle!
This game was developed by Nintendo, and really feels like it in a positive way. Too bad this game never came out on other platforms, would really love to have seen a remastered version of this one. Really hope that Nintendo will develop more Sim City games in the future!
Also a nice bonus if you like the Mother/Earthbound series, this game was specifically developed by HAL Laboratory, so the graphical style really is close to that of Mother, especially the character sprites of the citizens! ...

@CheeringOwls3 years ago That is pretty impressive, great video.

@woodenpints3 years ago It would be nice to have a holiday back in time and play SC2K on my LC475 for an afternoon again. The music is bringing back a good feeling and memories anyway.

@NeoTrggrTheGammer3 years ago oh wow, this is a childhood dream come true! I always wanted something like this for SimCity 2000
@

@TheTogoRojo3 years ago I wonder if Ross Scott has seen this. It seems right up his alley and a reference to his dream software video.
@

@IvanOdintsoff3 years ago That's so cool! I wish it had an option to render the city like Streets of SimCity, with some basic texturing! Or imagine a Streets of SimCity with HD textures! 2
@

@MrFairhill3 years ago I remember the car mode in Sim City 2000 on PlayStation. Where you could drive around in a 3D rendered version of your city made in the game. 1
@

@HoveringNebula3 years ago For what it's worth, New City kinda has this vibe of low poly, low res 3D cities. I think it's more or less a spiritual successor to SC2K by the dev's design.
@

@evilspoons3 years ago Re: isometric
SimCity 2000, along with tons of other games people call isometric, are technically "dimetric". One of the dimensions is not quite the same as the other two in terms of pixels vs distance, which in SimCity 2k results in the map being titled a slightly different amount than the 30 degrees an isometric drawing requires. However, isometric and dimetric still have the characteristic that there is no perspective - all lines in the same direction are parallel forever instead of converging at a point, like the normal 3D viewpoint this viewer uses. ...

@just_eirik3 years ago I remember the news about SC3 being fully 3D and it blew my mind! It seemed too good to be true.... 2
@

@YanTran3 years ago I installed Steam just to try this out, and it really works great. It even renders arcologies the same way that SC2000 does when they have been reduced to one tile via the magic eraser cheat.
@

@cadikaorade8283 years ago This is spectacular. If the developer is reading these comments, I'd pay for the ability to load custom models and export the assembled map as a single mesh.
@

@VideosByAMCPhoto3 years ago I used to love a similar program, UltraCoaster, that would render tracks from the original Rollercoaster Tycoon as 3D, rideable tracks. Blew my mind as a kid.

@Dankalank3 years ago SimCopter vibes bigtime. Gosh, I wouldn't mind a reimagining of that. Or even just more games which let you interact with a save file in different ways.
@

@haimzackay79463 years ago Man I remember when I was six, I installed my simcity (The original) on the school computer because I was that much addicted to it and played in breaks. Had no idea what the hell I was doing, just plotting stuff and making a whole mess. But I loved it, and now seeing the second game revived like this, is nothing short of awesome nostalgia. Completely breaking the sense of routine, throwing memories straight to the face. Now I remember mdk, mortal kombat and other games. How amazing our childhood was back in the early nineties. Now what the kids have? Fart-night? All the products that are centered around pornography, and being consumed by kids of today. And we wonder why the percentage of divorce only rises rapidly. ...

@

@nillinx12343 years ago Okay, that's an impressive "DOSGAMES" library. I still comeback to colonization once in a while.
@

@DarkHoodness3 years ago That's really quirky and random, especially these days!
It'd have been cool if Sim Copter looked a bit like this, just with keeping the building textures and smoothing off of the geometry. Sim Copter's 3D rendition of SC2000's maps were bland and colourless in comparison with SC2000's 2D graphics. Some objects didn't resemble SC2000's sprites at all! But I suppose it may been hard to pull off back then with what technology they were working with. ... 3
@

@bluehatguy42793 years ago That's pretty nifty.
I wonder if it would be feasible for someone to do something like this with SimCity4. The maps for it were able to connect into the big region map, so that could make some epic vast landscapes. ... 1
@

@Netsuko3 years ago I used to religiously read one of the SC2K guide books that came out while waiting for my dad to come back to town to give my a diskette of norton commander so I could finally play the game on my 386DX33. Once I got my hands on norton commander for dos (which seemed to be able to free up some conventional memory so my noob ass could run the game).. gods... the hours and hours spent. SC2K is one of those games that you could absolutely lose yourself in.
I may also have typed "heck" until my city caught fire to get some money... cough ...
