I like how the population and money seems more realistic than cities skylines

Ah man I hate it when I accidentally take a $700,000,000 loan!

The parallel perspective really hurts my brain

Finally, a city builder that allows for mixed use development! Now all it needs is some pedestrianised areas and we can finally move on from 1960's city design.

Looks like it has some very interesting potential. New ideas and ways to bring in more real life concepts. Seems like they are first concentrating on the actual gameplay, things like balance of money, progression, etc before they get to deep into the aesthetics. Pretty smart from a development standpoint because no matter how pretty it looks, if it is not fun and engaging it won't do well. As for the wanting skyscrapers so quickly, well that goes back to the realism factor I think. There is no city ever that had skyscrapers with a population like that. It costs more to build up than it does to build out and is only financially viable and realistic in a large city. Unless you are china and are needing to build empty cities full of empty skyscrapers for the sake of creating fake economic growth to delay your inevitable implosion.

This game is already awesome, it’s done the one thing Cities Skylines has never, and probably never will do. Mixed-use zoning

This game has a weird non-perspective vibe where roads in the distance don’t meet up they stay parallel. Weird...

The developer wanted to make it difficult for skyscrapers to develop in order to make the game feel more realistic. Personally, I was intrigued by the game in its early development phase but I got bored with it quite quickly. It’s one of those games I like to watch people play, but I got bored of the slow, more realistic pacing of city development. It’s not like Cities: Skylines or SimCity 4, where skyscrapers can develop within a few minutes, you have to be really patient with it, and I found the placement of roads, especially highways, to be time consuming and annoying, even with blueprints. Also, BTW, the main focus of NewCity is the economic aspect, and it looks weird because the developer was influenced by the style of 90s city builders like SimCity 2000, hence the unique, isometric-ish camera angles.

I thing a good way to sum this up is a modern sim city 3000

It looks like they're actually trying to sim an actual city, which makes me think of SC4 rather than skylines. I'll be watching this one because, for as much as I love skylines, in the end, it's mostly a creative endeavor ...more akin to a city 'painter' with convenient suggestions about management, more than a simulator.

The way zoning is done is really intuitive. It somewhat breaks away from the old school sim city style, which seems a bit outdated today. Really interesting stuff!

Cities Skylines always had been a traffic simulator first with city building thrown in. I appreciate the better focus on city buildingin this game. But I'm also so spoiled on skylines looks if a city sim came along and checked all the boxes I'd be very happy.

Entirely car-centric and grid based cities. This is exactly what Dutch city planners avoid As a Dutchie I might find it difficult to enjoy, but apart from that it seems like a serious game with a good amount of potential. Very impressive for just a 2 person team as well

I'm liking this game so far, though it takes some getting used to. It's obviously more about building a functional city than Cities Skylines, where you can focus more on detailing and design. One thing I still can't wrap my head around is education. There doesn't seem to be an easy way to see how many eligible students there are in the city, how many desks each schools provides, how far students will commute to school etc. Or maybe schools are just an area of effect type of thing? It's a lot of trial and error when playing the game. Hopefully they will improve the documentation and tutorials once the game nears completion. You can change the FOV in the options to make it look more natural. The exaggerated FOV is charming, but it gets very tiring and almost nauseating when you're panning and tilting the camera around.

I'm getting seassick with the motion. But I like the concepts. Mixed use. Zones that form full shopping malls, etc.

Rly cool game but the map is so tripyyyy

I like how the roads have dead ends at the end of them so cars can turn around.

This game is truly messing with my eyes

Hmm. This is the first city builder that I think might be actual competition for Cities Skylines.

OH MA GAWD I LOOOOVE THE WAY THE INFO PANELS ARE!!! It's awesome how you can even see the little details such as wealth (which is extremely important for building a realistic city) crime, and even friendliness!!!

The gameplay seems so much more fascinating than City Skylines. I love the concept of a more hands on city management. In terms of running a city, this game seems like it is much more realistic. I am looking forward to playing it!

Sam: "Don't compare it to Cities Skylines" Everyone: "CITIES SKYLINES DOESN'T DO THIS..." btw, there are mods in C:S that address the issue of density and mixed-use zoning, look up "Realistic Population" and "Custom Zone Mixer" on the workshop

I love that density takes a long time and lots of building.. I've had the game for a year now and the looks have improved so much.

Mixed use zoning alone makes me want to play this game. One of the things I miss the most when playing Cities Skylines.

Water physics look like they have the opposite problem when compated to CS.

It's just like comparing Parkitect to Planet Coaster. While Planet Coaster gives you full liberty of designing your own theme park and admire your graphical aesthetic in full glory, it is resources-heavy and not everyone can enjoy the game to its full potential. However, Parkitect provides a simplified isometric experience for lower-end PC gamers to enjoy building a theme park, and similar to NewCity, its economic management aspect is better than the latter (Planet Coaster/Cities Skylines). Essentially, you may compare these games for what they have and not, however, should still enjoy for what it is and not hate it just because it lacks something that others have. But I do agree that the camera view in NewCity turns me off. Parkitect is more pleasing to look at. 😂

I have owned and played the game for several months and I love it. I own any city builder I can find. I always come back to this game. I love the music in it...... it's cute and fun to listen to with a catchy beat.... You CAN plant trees. It helps control the air pollution..... It's just fun to play.

Really cool game, kind of reminds me of Simcity 3000! It would be nice to see another gameplay video checking out how public transport works, traffic management. Does it have drawable bus lines?

Oh my gosh, I'm being dizzy when you rotating the map😵

I was waiting for you to play my new favorite game!

The color of those streets reminds me the good old times with SimCity 4! Beautiful memories...

I like this! The more city builder games the better ❤️ ... especially if it's more realistic in terms of value relationship and bringing in features like mixed use zoning! 👍

It looks retro, but the traffic seems better but water physics needs some work and I think it could probs do with a better rendering system because its alittle too cartoony but that’s just my opinion, overall though I’d say so far so good, its challenging and adaptive zoning is an amazing new addition to city games, but this is a game being made by two people, and it is an amazing feat for two people a lot of credit well deserved

mixed zoning and actual height restriction are 2 real life city planning tools that are unique to this game, waiting for more

omg old school sim city vibes and I'm living for it!

Looks a bit too griddy for me, but seems interesting so I might keep an eye on it.

I think the main difference between this and cities skylines is that cities skylines is mainly a casual city builder where you can build pretty cities but isn’t that realistic other than the traffic management element. This is more of a hard-core city builder. The maps are much bigger than city skylines but the graphics are much worse.

I love the aesthetics and feeling of scale, but the lack of curved roads just kills it for me. Mixed used zoning is one thing, but having everything forced to conform to a grid basically nullifies the potential of this.

This looks pretty cool! Thanks! I just bought the game on steam to check it out.

Looks cool and very realistic. The maps are absolutely HUGE as well.

Just picked this up today for $9.99 American! Definitely some innovative ideas I haven't seen elsewhere, like the mixed residential/retail zoning which is more like what I see in real life, and being able to choose and place individual university buildings such as different sizes of dorms.

I have had this game for about 5 months and I like it every Friday it has updates and the performance today is very good, the potential even reaches its version 1.0 is huge

In Australia dollars are called dollarydoos. Sam bur is pronouncing it so ethnics can understand

Skylines looks a lot better ngl, this looks more like simcity.

Some of the stuff you mentioned I really wish Cities Skylines had. Mix use RC is a major one!! Doesn't make sense not to have! Plus the shopping center, that is one really want as well. Seems like a nice little game so far

Yes, someone uploaded a video on new city, and its you!

It definitely reminds me of SimCity 2000... I love it!

this game has a great potential. Paradox should add air pollution and a better financial and city management to the game. they should add the mixed zoning feature too. this is a great game for a two person team

Hopefully they will fix the weird nausea inducing bug when rotating. Because this game seems to do a better job on managing a city than Cities:Skylines

A city that is also someone's head! 3:01

This game looks nice. It reminds me of Sim City 2000

The urban sprawl is unmatched

I hope they can work on realistic city size to population ratio. How can a skyscraper in CS have only 50 occupants.

The good things are 1. map is so big

I'll be watching this game's career with great interest

I just want a simcity 3000 where I can freely rotate the map in isometric like this game. Seems promising but the colors are a little dull. Add LUT support perhaps?

Would love to see more

Love the general setup, and the lo-poly style. Not so much that it's apparently still very grid-y, which makes it difficult to use a non-US setup for your city.

Please make a series out of this!

I bought the game a while back, but was kind of confused (because playing CS) in order to have people to move in do you have to have a road coming off the edge of the map like in CS? It seems like a pretty cool game. thanks for showing it off ... take care be safe.

It seems like the population is realistic not like city skylines, which is one of my biggest complaints. I would a few small skyscrapers would start appearing anytime between 80-100k population of they are going for realism. I like this.

It kind of reminds me of an updated SimCity 3000/4

I like the graphic, its like an upscale simcity 4.

It definitely looks like my computer will like it better!

Have you played Workers & Resources, Soviet Republic yet? It's still in early access put plays extremely well. It's already a great game that city builders should really enjoy.

This will be the parkitect of city building ? Interesting...

Well if you enjoy the game you could do a small playthough of it from the beguining to show it off better and for all of us to learn about it better.

It's more like SimCity 4 with low graphics, but with modern design. Looks cool

You should try the test branch builds, lots of new stuff

It gives me the simcity vibe.

Nice

Seeing the ad for this game I thought it was analog horror

Holy crap this game seems quite awesome..

Reminds me of open TTD

getting simcity 4 vibe

So is this agent based like cities skylines or more abstract like sim city 4? Also are there going to be options to change that perspective to something a bit less... jarring? Still this game looks to have potential.

ok here is a question. if i build a stadium, do i do it downtown, by a harbor, or in the middle of know where surrounded by parking

Looks like a 3D SimCity3 with a free camera.

Lol, Sam Bur would of been fired by the mayor if this was real XD

About the skyscrapers I guess they’re just trying to make it more realistic, as it would not be normal to have massive skyscrapers in a town of 80,000 people.

Ohhhhh man I wish I had PC

There's exactly 900 views so that means I am before 1,000 veiws

Looks like a little Canadian Alpine or Maritime city.

This game is definitively more city simulator than Ciies kyliens where its way more of a sandbox game

If you can plop an asset or just random buildings that you subscribed on steam, the buildings have various designs, you can use mods, (like TMPE), skyscrapers, more roads, etc or more like Cities Skylines Man! I would play rather play this than cities skylines! Coz the population is so realistic😂. I hope in the future, they would kinda change the graphics a lil bit. If they do change the price like let say $30-50. Im down for that! As long as, the graphics is not really annoying, it's more likely a cities skylines, you can use mods, plop assets, it has trains, busses, airports, bus station, etc!.

Will this game make my Microsoft laptop freeze up? What graphics card should I use bc I want to play msfs 2020 as well on my laptop

Like Cities Skylines, the sidewalks are too big sometimes...I mean the two lane street...it could have street parking with smaller sidewalk....

Question: Does is use more of the CPU threads than Cities?

This game basing on your review is very much like sim city 4

+1 skyscrapers are hard to obtained. -1 No disasters.

Not getting higher buildings because mixed use areas are height limited?

According to steam reviews it sounds like this has been abandoned by the dev. Shame as this looks quite promising.

RIP water physics.

At 3:00 the peninsula with the City on it looks like a head of a man

The roads give me a hwad ach. I dont know how to put roads down. I always have lights in the middle of a straight road

Can you pan around on the map with the mouse?

Did u forget to show you can make your own builds? It might not be out yet

I wish they release for macbook pro

I was looking at buying this but it's not available for mac.
