I’m going to continue to watch till the city is complete no matter how long that takes.

As someone living in the Rochester area, this is the best reconstruction I've seen of the city. Good luck on continuing it!

I definitely will still watch cs1 content, not everyone could get cs2 when it lunch

@CaesarRoyale Жыл бұрын

There's a wealth of content that just won't be in CSL2 for a long time if ever. The fully modded cities are the culmination of the near decade of work the modders and developers have taken for this game. Take advantage of it! Looking to see the end of Rochester as well as Pittsburg

@ApollonDriver Жыл бұрын

Yes CS2 is hot topic and I'm sure people will want to watch it too, but the work in these series is much different than both CS1 and CS2, so I'm sure many people will still watch ongoing CS1 series

@michaelanderson2106 Жыл бұрын

I know I will still watch/play CS1 for a while after CS2 comes out. It will take a bit of time for modders to bring a strong asset library to life.

I agree with your view point of only having interest in a 1-1 scale build with mods and overlays. I have not shared my build of Kyiv which was the 3rd variation as I could not find interest simply building a vanilla or non 1-1. However, it is very time consuming and updates cause so many issues for my city. I also built my computer around this build. Network multi-tool is awesome. Great work on today's episode and camera highlights!!!!

I grew up in Greece, the suburb to the northwest - I *hate* this city, lol,, but you make me feel nostalgic! I actually never spent any time downtown, so it's interesting to see here! Especially since I left town in '99! It really needs a winter theme and a half-meter of snow to feel truly like 'home' though! Not grey enough! lol

Really hoping you keep this and the Pittsburgh series going, don’t care how long it takes! CS 2 is going to be around for a long long time and it’ll take awhile to get any type of custom assets for any city. Let alone they’ll probably be a decent amount of bugs

I absolutely would continue to watch CS1 content from you and any other creators who stick with it. I don't really enjoy vanilla content that much either so I hope some people do end up staying with the original at least till CS2 modding community gets going

@ryanblair2558 Жыл бұрын

Looks stunning! I will certainly keep watching until you are finished with this even as Cities Skylines 2 is released. What really makes this game special is all the work done by the mod creators to allow us to make this level of detail possible. It will likely be a long while after release before CS2 gets somewhere similar.

Maybe when ROC or PIT is done, could you build Buffalo? It has a rich sports and brew culture, like Pitt, and is the gateway to Canada for many Americans. It was a planned city and also is near Niagara Falls.

Your work is gorgeous as always. I will ALWAYS watch Cities: Skylines 1 content! I won't be interested at all in the sequel until a lot of community made assets are released; I played SimCity 4 from 2003-2018! Sometimes a good thing is timeless enough to keep enjoying even after it is no longer vogue!

Please keep working CS1. Rochester and Pittsburg. It's more than great and I learned so much from you in case of realistic setups... I will continue on my 800K-population CS1-City, even since I passed the node limit long ago (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Jersey on 99 tiles). I am constantly trying to delete nodes in the existing networks (using PO and / or NodeController) in order to be able to complete the open areas of my city ;-)... My biggest wish for CS2 is to have lots of vehicles and pedestrians to avoid ghost cities beyond a certain city size. (I don't worry about the GPU or RAM with my 64GB MacBook Pro).

I hope you continue both Rochester and Pittsburgh because your work has been amazing. At least continue until you can get to your urban renewal aspect that you have talked about in both series. I found it really interesting when you talked about playing vanilla on console version leading you to buying a PC. I started on the free version on Xbox game pass and that led to KZfaq and finding it on steam where the amazing mod community just sucks you in and makes it hard not to play. My kids give me grief for the almost 3k hours spent on my cities.

Wow love this series! It’s been amazing to see my neighborhood come to life through your build. Btw, the google map images are a little outdated. The apartment building next to the skate park has been completed for years. It’s a cool area with a promenade that goes out over the water. You maybe also find the same where the old inner loop was, all the buildings there are complete now. Thanks for creating this fantastic series, I look forward to continue watching until you’re done!

CS 2 won’t allow such detail as the current CS 1, so after initial hype dies down, CS 1 + mods will be more interesting.

Hi there. I just watched a video from another KZfaqr called City Nerd. He makes brilliant videos about cities. Then watched this video. You sound very similar. I hope you are OK with me asking, and understand if you prefer not to say, but are you the same person. If not apologies, but his videos are great and very informative.

dude, where's the link to that parking asset? Been looking for the ability to do underground parking for a while. Thanks! Also re: continuing the series or swapping to Cities2, I'm predicting there'll be some way to port. If not natively I'm certain SOMEONE's gonna create a mod for it. Too many awesome cities that'd be left behind otherwise.
