Earlier this year, Paradox dubbed this new game "revolutionary" upon its reveal (thanks Rock Paper Shotgun), but we've yet to get a good glimpse at proper gameplay until now. While what we do see is small in terms of quanity, seeing buildings pop up over time as the geography changes gradually is exactly the short of thing Cities: Skylines fans probably want to see.

Then there are the glorious menus, as we see different views on the cities and impotant details pop up. Not only does the game look visually appealing, it looks as though the sort of macro and micro management Cities: Skylines fans want are all present.

What do you think of the trailer? Let us know below, as well as your thoughts on the rest of the Xbox Games Showcase. There have been a bunch of rad reveals today, including Avowed! You can check out our coverage of that trailer here!
