Seems like a solid and overall expected effort, nothing groundbreaking. I think most of the seasoned fans expected these things. Which is good, if the basics are solid it’s easier to later build upon them. Personally, things I like the most are how citizen’s age influences their pathfinding, that we will be able to build new outside connections and of course new info views.

Also, in the video I noticed that drivers turn off their high beams at night when there’s another vehicle approaching in front of them, neat!

is it just me or are these devs doing everything right? Incredibly informative, really frequent and detailed communication, and the product is looking to be a solid, significant improvement but largely in uncontroversial ways on the first game. Make everyone happy, alienate no-one. They seem so in tune with their player base, it’s rare to see. (Fingers crossed it remains so).

Accidents 😱 that’s amazing!

On a side note, the narrator is killing it in these videos!

Managing traffic is the most addicting part of CS for me. Super hyped for CS2. Rerouting is gonna add so much realism.

The frequency and clarity of the updates are really appreciated. I know it’s a pre-release, and the “gameplay” was likely highly selected for, but it’s looking mighty polished!

I’m excited for this game, I’ve loved city simulation games since playing Sim City 1 on SNES at a friends cabin. I hope the new traffic AI changes help, because C:S1 had such serious issues with traffic, it just insurmountable. If the AI changes help make the city actually flow correctly, maybe that’ll correct my number one problem in C:S1, dead bodies wouldn’t get picked up no matter how many crematoriums or cemeteries I had.

I hope this game comes out soon, the way they’re dripping info makes me feel like the release date they have in mind is waaaay out there.

I’m surprised they’ve dropped a new video already. I thought they would space them out more because the release date is still some time away.
