Hope this one is less car dominant. It would be good to have more progressive layouts with cycle lanes and low traffic neighborhoods. Not just aping US city blocks, with cars to get anywhere.
Cities: Skylines 2 is turning deadly and will launch with new natural disasters

Doesn’t look like it, unfortunately. Public transport still seems like an optional tack-on and cars to be the primal, essential mode of transport. To place buildings, you need a street, to supply businesses, you need trucks.

No cyclists in the base game at launch, unfortunately.

Wow really? I like some of the new stuff they’ve shown like mixed-use zoning but this might be a dealbreaker for me. If I can’t build a nice city I don’t really see the point of the game.

Yeah, I like having the roads with those little green lanes on either side, so I can imitate Seattle

I’m glad they’re putting these in the base game, part of what I worried about this game was it was an opportunity to sell all the same DLC again, but apparently not

I can only imagine what the minimum spec requirements are going to be to run this game. ಠ_ಠ
geelgroenebroccoli@feddit.nl 1 year ago
No need to imagine, as they are on Steam:
i7-4790K / 5 1600X with GTX780 / RX 470 and 8GB RAM
Recommended: i7-9700K / 5 5600X with RTX 2080Ti / RX 6800 XT and 16GB RAM

Well, that’s impressive that it can run on such low specs.
CJKatz@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It will run on consoles, so the requirements won’t be THAT high.
CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
Yea but at what quality and fps??
Epicurus0319@lemmy.world 1 year ago
And those versions will be updated every 50 years
Stinkywinks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
My subways still won’t work right
legion@lemmy.world 1 year ago
But will it launch with functioning CPU multi-core support?
ArmokGoB@lemmy.world 1 year ago
The biggest natural disaster is the simulation running out of memory.

Almost heaven…

Does anyone else feel like the graphics of CS2 has gotten worse with every preview?
The first teaser video showed incredible realism, like how some PC cities look after heavy graphics and asset modding.
But the latest videos have looked like CS1 quality.

If you’re talking about the announcement trailer, it’s not gameplay footage.
EighthLayer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s been 5 months since the announcement already?! 💀

I agree, but I think it’s the same as the first game or any game where shot selection matters a lot. We tend to like sweeping panoramic views, especially in video games where we can’t see the details of the models. Focused on particular models, especially people and their animations will always show how ugly a game is unless a huge amount of budget went there. I think this game does look better, but the first one looked pretty good too.

RTGame’s gonna have a field day

Loving how the game looks. Would be cool to have a proper MacOS release as well for the Apple Silicon HW.
ABCDE@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Is there a plan for it?
kapx132@lemmy.world 1 year ago
How generous of them to not lock it behind paid dlc.
crummysocks@lemmy.world 1 year ago
We have come a long way from age of empires 3
stooovie@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Just what we need
GiddyGap@lemmy.world 1 year ago
It’s reality.

I really hope they add an option for wacky events like SimCity. I miss being invaded by Godzilla and aliens.
2tone@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Godzilla was so good :)
CrypticFawn@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year ago
I loved it when Godzilla showed up on mine.
