I'm glad to see colossal order and paradox are behind the sequel.

#22I have a hard time with freeform city builders like Skylines or SimCity. The amount of unrestrained freedom makes me question why I'm even playing. I have the same issue with The Sims or something like Planet Zoo. That and Skylines giving me a blank canvas paralyses me. How does one plan a city? Where do the roads go? It's the sort of game I want to love, but I just get so overwhelmed by the sheer number of options a…

#23Not much info other than the fact that it’ll release sometime this year on PS5, XSX, and PC. Teaser trailer is just a bunch of cinematics.
Yea. It's "cool" in concept but there is nothing information-wise about the game. Does it fix the problems of CS1? Does it introduce new features? I want to be excited about it, but there is nothing to be excited about. Getting excited about a single trailer will just lead to disappointment later.

#24One of my favorite mod in Skylines that you can import _real world_ terrain maps into the game. Building your own city but better is a good fun (and challenge!) https://terrain.party/ Hope this will work in the sequel too
Thank you. You've just killed my weekly productivity at work hahaha

#25I'm really hoping they don't botch this release like some of their DLC. Most of the DLC released have pretty bad ratings on Steam.

There's two separate subgenres, and that's fine. Because its just a different game in general despite both being simulators.
If you like Tropico, then you probably should give TwoPoint Hospital a try, as well as Ceasar 3, Cleopatra, and a few other games of the more "agent simulation" nature... with actual goals and challenges to defeat and win.
Sim City / Cities Skylines is less about gaming and more about play. There is no winning or losing in these games... I mean nominally, if you run out of money I guess you lose. But the games are setup so that you don't really run out of money under typical circumstances.

#28Anyone able to read between the lines and see what features will be coming?
The only thing I got from the trailer would be ray-traced graphics and the description suggests that actions have more consequences which I read as bulldozing peoples houses makes people really mad at you and things like that

I think it correlates to how much uninterrupted blocks of free time you have. My almost middle school son loves it, but he has much more free time than I do (maybe because he hasn't discovered HN yet!). In my free time, I want to have a specific end goal or victory condition.

It’s annoying but it seems to be the way things are marketed these days to build up hype so I can’t really fault them for it. Better to release info piecemeal as opposed to one big info dump if you want to build up a following.
