  Yeah but after Cities:Skylines 2, you have to imagine that LBY had to be looking ROUGH if Paradox was afraid of showing it to the world. They probably did us a mercy tbh.

      C:S 2 got lots of preview coverage as well. Marketers are very good at hiding performance issues in preview coverage.

  Paralives is still going strong! It’s looking like it will be strong enough of a competitor to actually influence future sims developments.

      Just look at the trailer. Of course there is still some animation jank, but the overall visuals are just stunning.

      It’s so uncanny valley that I might feel bad for deleting the pool ladders (or whatever the equivalent of that is in inZOI).
