Cities In Motion 2 Announced. Debut Gameplay Trailer (PC, Mac)
Cities in Motion 2 has been announced by developer Colossal Order and publisher Paradox Interactive as a sequel to the first business and public transport simulator. It will be released in the second quarter of this year.
Here is the debut Cities in Motion 2 gameplay trailer video.
Cities in Motion 2 gives players full control of their own transit empire as they utilize a wide variety of transportation vehicles to create the most effective transit system possible. Offering a bus load of new features, including day and night cycles and multiplayer modes, Cities in Motion 2 also introduces dynamic cities—as transit is built, urban sprawl will expand or depreciate based on the affordability of transit and the needs of each unique city’s inhabitants. From the scheduling of timetables to the adjustment of fares, transportation enthusiasts will be able to tweak a wide variety of options to provide for the demands of their population. Just remember: if transit is running late, you have no one to blame but yourself.

Crytek USA Studio Formed Of Ex-Darksiders Developer Vigil Games Staff. They Find New Home After THQ Bankruptcy Auction
Vigil Games lives in Crytek USA!
This is really great as it will allow those talented developers who created the outstanding Darksiders franchise to continue working and hopefully create another great American franchise for the German publisher.
This follows an auction from THQ in which they sold off a majority of their assets as part of their Chapter 11 Bankruptcy case; however for some odd reason Vigil Games and the Darksiders franchise were not scooped up.
It’s unclear whether or not Crytek also picked up the Darksiders franchise or just the developers, hopefully both.
THQ president Jason Rubin tweeted, “Great news for Vigil, at least the core team. Thanks to Crytek for saving as much as they could of a fantastic team.”
