Cities Skylines II

[canes21]

It's confirmed to be real and is schedule to be out this year.

If the trailer is any indication that they are going with a more realistic and grounded art style, I will be very happy. I logged hundreds of hours in the first game and unless this one is a flop, I expect to do the same with it.

The question is, how much content from CS and all of its DLCs will be in the base CS2 game.

Re: Cities Skylines II

On one hand Cities Skylines is my favorite city builder game. On the other hand, not looking forward to buying 999 more micro dlc's from a paradox game.

Definitely interested in seeing what all they have added for the sequel.

Re: Cities Skylines II

Yeah I'm really interested to see what they have in the base version of CS2. The next gen upgrade has been fun, but missing the last two DLCs has me slowing down until they are released

Re: Cities Skylines II

The achievements list isn't final, but it does seem to hint towards the base CS II having some features that CS's DLC added.

Disasters
Different types of airports
Renewable energy

Then some new features are hinted.

Seasons
150 tiles

There's more, but I can't remember off the top of my head and reddit is down, so I can't grab the list off of it. I don't expect to see all of the features from the DLC's of the first game in the base game of the sequel, but it does appear some features are being carried forward which is nice. I wasn't expecting too many.

My biggest wishes are a more realistic art style, implementation of tools that recreate popular mods like Traffic Manager, MoveIt, and so on. I want to build realistic looking cities with more realistic road networks without the need for 8,000 custom assets and countless mods installed. Give me that and I am good.

Don't get me wrong, I love the modding scene and can't wait to see it in action for this game also, but certain things definitely need to be in the base game more optimized than a mod can be.

Re: Cities Skylines II

I love cities skylines.

My main hope for this one is that we get more space without needing mods and more stuff with the base game. Some of the DLC has been worth it but some definitely hasn't.

If they deliver on these few things, it will likely be a day 1 purchase. I didn't get the original until it went on sale for the first time. Glad I did though as I have 300+ hours in it.

Re: Cities Skylines II

150 tiles is insane. Hopefully that's the case for the console versions

Re: Cities Skylines II

Developers said the last scheduled update for the first game is in May, so hopefully we begin to get more and more news about II after that. I'm pumped and actually re-installed the first game again(and all my assets and mods despite the hassle that is) out of excitement. And the game will be available on GamePass day one which is awesome.

Re: Cities Skylines II

Played C:S for a good while but downloading countless DLCs just to make it playable was frustrating.. I hope they make vanilla version of it more advanced

Re: Cities Skylines II

Where am I at in my life where a video about roads in a video game has me so excited?

Man this looks awesome. Soured me on CS 1, not even touching it anymore.

I feel the same way. This game looks like it's going to give players a huge quality of life upgrade, in addition to new mechanics.

I suppose I'll be saving up my money for a new GPU, because i'll want to see this game in all its glory.

Re: Cities Skylines II

I tried to start a new city with mods to play until this came out. Lost all excitement for it once more features were revealed. Tried to start a vanilla only city just to really feel the upgrade of 2 when it comes out. After that video I can't do it lol. I am weak.

Re: Cities Skylines II

Yeah I've already preordered this one lol.

Re: Cities Skylines II

Was rudely notified by Sony that my Cities Skylines 2 preorder was cancelled because the console versions of the game have been delayed until next year. The MacOS version is on ice indefinitely.

So I guess I'll be waiting a bit longer to play this one, I haven't owned a Windows machine in over a decade and have no plans to get one.

Yeah it was announced a couple weeks ago that the console version was delayed. Really sucks, but hopefully they take advantage of the extra time
