Sim City 5 Rumored

There has been a few pictures floating around the internet at a new sim city game.  These pictures were in a German gaming magazine.  These few pictures can tell us a lot. From the art of the game to some of the features that will be appearing.  Dissecting this video of pictures the new art gives off a Sim City 3 feeling combining with the new graphics engine maxis is making.  The biggest feature I am looking forward is the fact you can finally curve roads without a mod.  With that I hope that means building a bridge that is diagonal again without a mod that makes your cities water disappearing.  With the placement of the buildings I get the impression that style of city building is more free and less restrictive. Multiplayer was also mentioned, I believe it would be something like Cities XL.  Resources would be traded between players most likely in a generated region.  The best part with no monthly fee which was the down fall to that game.   Also rumored was that the game is 30% done and will be released next year. Assuming we all survive an ending calender.  Next week in San Francisco in the Games Developers Convention EA will have a big announcement so cross your fingers.
