Those Korean housing assets really underline why this game ought to have medium density zones and not just low and high. Recent DLC has tried to reduce the "missing middle housing" a bit, but if you're playing vanilla and don't spend quite a bit of time actively addressing it by using district themes or ploppables, your city will end up with a lot of suburbs, a lot of skyscrapers, and very little in-between.
That’s why i end up making half the buildings in my city historical so they don’t upgrade to taller heights and there’s a blend between suburbs and the city
@@Craftycatz1289 I think the Wikipedia article for "Missing middle housing" explains the concept well. Medium density zoning would involve moderately-sized apartment blocks, typically 2-5 stories, and wall-to-wall buildings like the European building set, albeit not as traditionalist in the architectural style. The Korean buildings showcased in this video are great examples. They aren't single-family homes or villas, but they aren't apartment towers either. Most cities out there (i.e. not in the US or Canada) tend to mostly consist of medium-density development. Cities Skylines cities tend to be quite diverse for a while as you play too, but if you let all your residential level up to the highest levels, most high-density buildings will be very large apartment towers. In large numbers, they create an unrealistically tall cityscape. Meanwhile, low-density buildings will be sprawling mansions, and there will be nothing between those two extremes. Hence the need for medium density to serve as a default "not a mansion, but not a skyscraper" option for players. It technically can be done at the moment, but it's a hassle that involves DLCs, district policies, and lots of fidgeting to prevent those huge apartment towers from popping up everywhere.
@@dbclass4075 I thought so. Trams have a low top speed AFAIK, and that prevents highway-speed tram tracks from existing. I actually have two tram lines in my city, both of which are LRT for the most part. I may build more light rail in the future.
4:31 Very, very nice to see a tram which drives in your own town. That's a "Tatra", in East Germany we still have these old trams besides newer ones of course👍
I agree with you, that chirper man plaza is terrifying. Everything else looks amazing. I kind of wish they'd included some of the skyscrapers as offices or high density residential so you could use them more than once though.
I was sort of 'meh' on the Korean pack, but after seeing the elementary school, crematorium and the incinerator; it's a must buy for me. I am a PS4 player, so these assets are huge. And I've already purchased the Skyscraper pack, but won't get a chance to play until later tonight. Thanks for the video!!
Thanks for this extensive view on the new content. Tram on Pedestrian roads is going to be so awesome, it's exactly the kind of thing trams where built for😍. I also like the details on some of the bike-lane-roads, seems like they added small concrete blocks separating the bike lane from the cars. You are quite right that human chirper is like the crowd in the balloons, a bit cringe-worthy 😄. But the plaza generally looks very nice, definitely worth picking up the Korean CCP IMO.
The new roads are awesome specially the ones with both the cycle and tram lanes. The joy in your voice when you showed the tram and ped roads xD Love the little apartments from the Korea theme and skyscrapers are badly needed for unmodded game. Good update for the game (Human chirper looks cursed definitely)
Excellent overview video, Egg! Thanks for showing us everything, and especially for the excitement over the tram roads 😆😆 I'm excited to see how you integrate some of this into the current builds. 😀
They have a great korean feel for the residential, especially with all the first story parking. Although with adding this, and people making above ground parking garages, would be cool to see someone add/make underground parking garages, that are standards in dense cities. As well korea does often have grated floor/metal beam multi-floor parking garages.
Excellent assets! I love them, but I must say I'm disappointed that the Skyscrapers are unique buildings, I was hoping I could reuse them like the hotels from Mid Century Modern (Xbox here). The new trams are a welcome sight & I'm very excited about them. Excellent work, Egg. Looking forward to seeing the redevelopment of downtown Ilos ... Or maybe Palaven too? ;)
Indeed a bit of a shame they are uniques so you can only use them once, hopefully enough variety in there so it isn't a huge problem :) No worries bro, thanks for watching
I wish they had mixed use zoning. Realistically a lot of skyscrapers are malls, with office buildings on top of them, apartment blocks on top of those, restaurant(s) on those, and maybe a mansion perched on the very top. They give you residential, commercial, and office space, bit these are just tourist attractions. Yeah, I know, just throw some RICO cubes inside, but it would be nice if you could do this without mods.
The house at the 11:50 reminds me of the house from the movie ‘parasite’ which was filmed in south korea so maybe that’s where they took their inspiration from 😅
Ackchyually... you were right with octopuses (or octopodes) at 12.20 , octopi is the wrong 'un. 🤓 The human Chirper plaza has spiderman meme vibes. 😂 New roads look like they'll be fun!
Nice video! Thank you for all the effort you have done for this community! Btw... I think you would be a great community manager for Cities Skylines ;-)
Simply being able to use various lengths of the same style of tram (yes, yes, without workshop assets at least) is such a neat little bonus and will make a city's public transport look a lot more cohesive! Is 8:44 the one where Jackie Chan slid down the slope?
i just got city skylines watching ur video series of noobs guide, got it from your website, finally able to afford it, got deluxe patch, this looks so cool, will follow soon with the dlc's recommended in noobs guides first then this, thank you very much for the amazing discounts
Really, really good packs. Nice to see that they're slowly filling in all the gaps in the game. I would really like to see a fill in pack like these for the fishing industry in a future release because I feel like that (quite desperately) could do SOOOOOO MUCH MORE! Having said that, I'm thrilled with the massive skyscrapers, really green, modern Korean buildings and pedestrian roads with trams...? It would be rude not to.
Thanks OE for the overview video! Was excited for the free update content but now also really excited for all the new assets in both CCPs. Fantastic for us console players!
What I want next are varied cargo train stations. Having a unique cargo station styled for each industry area would be a nice addition #alliwantforchristmas
Thanks for this. Haha it's funny hearing the excitement for new dlc's. Can you do a whole new city with all the updated content and dlc's from scratch?
Thanks for the overview! I noticed that some of the trams have a double-ended appearance. I'm guessing they probably don't work that way in game, though. (Also the human Chirper is just all kinds of wrong!)
I have CS on the PS4 and I was ecstatic when this was announced bc we have hardly ANY in the console version and obviously we can’t go on the steam workshop so this was definitely the best purchase I ever made for this game
Thanks again for showing all of the different assets. It's very helpful! Those skyscrapers, though--instant buy. Hearts of Korea is a nice suprise, too. It might even be better than the Japanese CCP. So much good stuff!
Previously on console I had a paradox plaza & cheap to place but a few months ago I cleaned out my system & reinstalled now I no longer have it, any explanation?
@@OVERCHARGEDEGG it's sadness as I still show the account linked. Also curious in the psstore, I can't or ever could find after dark. When I purchased I bought the Deluxe edition to which I don't believe it was included, another wth moment 😏
I have had to turn certain expansions back on after a new update turned them “off” on my Xbox. Not sure what console you’re looking at, but if it is Xbox I went under “Manage Game” and had to manually turn a few of the DLCs back on. As for After Dark, I think they might have simply merged it with the base game. I can never see it in DLC options, but I had all the After Dark content automatically when I bought CS the first time around. Hope this helps
Great Video! I do have a question about the new trams and buses though… Yes, they did come with different sizes and capacity, but do other stats of theirs matter(like top speed and acceleration) like those from the VOTW? Or other than those two, the only thing matter is the vibe they gave?
I like that we are getting different footprints with this release. However I was hoping to see some more diversity in the building choices. Say some iconic skyscrapers can be found all over. Singapore has Pinnacle@Duxton and the Marina Bay Sands casino/resort. Taipei 101, Petronas Towers (Kuala Lumpur), Shanghai Tower, and Lotte World Tower (Seoul) are just a few that would standout than being a right rectangular prism. Maybe this is why we have the client is opened and we can design our own buildings. (Is there an issue with copyrights of why these towers were not named correctly?)
Why are there no vanilla multi-function buildings, e.g. low commercial at base with offices above? Seems to me that most high rises are multifunction in real cities. I noticed a few in the workshop but would be nice to have a DLC of multi-function buildings.
Hey. I'm on Xbox one. Got the world tour bundle. It said it didn't need to be installed. But for the life of me I cannot find the content in game. Anyone have any pointers. I'm obviously doing something wrong lol
Hold on. These tall buildings operate as "unique buildings" meaning they only provide leisure. Can we change it to actually accommodate with office space, residencial, or commercial? IS it possible?

11:45 That is the house from the movie Parasite! 😨😍
Those human Chirpers were quite unsettling 😳
Pretty sure I have a sleep paralysis demon that looks like them
I swear one of them whispered something about Spanish lessons to me once.
All they need now for trams is a tram equivalent to the highway. LRTs would be amazing to have linking separate tram networks together.
We already have that, right?
@@GamingBren Technically yes, though the speed limit is low. @Rohan Halle probably wants dedicated tram tracks at highway speeds.
@@dbclass4075 I thought so. Trams have a low top speed AFAIK, and that prevents highway-speed tram tracks from existing. I actually have two tram lines in my city, both of which are LRT for the most part. I may build more light rail in the future.

@@dbclass4075 yeah it would
The Korea low residential looks perfekt for a nice transition from basic low residential to basic high residential
4:31 Very, very nice to see a tram which drives in your own town. That's a "Tatra", in East Germany we still have these old trams besides newer ones of course👍
the korean house at 11:45 has such a Parasites movie feeling, it's amazing
Pretty sure that is an easter egg and the building infact is a copy of the house from that movie.

Yeah, made me laugh when Egg described it as 'super cute' given what happens inside it

Also in Ilos you could RICO the skyscrapers into offices and really get some people moving into them

the humanoid chirper made me laugh! great video egg. excited to play with this content once i buy it!
Horrific isn't it!
from now on, tram tracks is my new favourite word! Thanks for the showcase. Amazing!
One of those korean low residential housing assets looks like the the architect's building featured in the movie "Parasite"
Thanks Egg. There are some really, really good assets here 😻
Wow, vanilla has made huge leap forwards 🤩

That korean mansion with the raised garden is a direct interpretation of the house from the movie Parasite
I have a feeling that Ilos’ downtown will be redesigned

or just diff sizes
When a Momma Chirper and a Daddy Mr. Meeseeks love each other very much… 😵💫👽

11:47
I think this house is inspired by the movie 'parasites'
Great showcase, thanks! 😀
Really good overview. Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for watching bro!
They had the opportunity to make more monorail roads!!
Maybe next update we'll get some more free roads? New monorail stuff would be nice
The new Korean assets could really use the realistic population mod.

(Also the human Chirper is just all kinds of wrong!)
So many new freebies!!! Nice that they have released all these new roads, trams, buses etc and its all for free! Paradox really are spoiling us!
Unfortunately, switch players cannot get the new stuff even though they have both required dlc :(
At this rate Chirper will outlast that which he is a parody of.

The tram ped roads are a necessity for sure. This update is great
YouJou Entertainment is the parody for YG??? 😄
Amazing, my new buses from the update are invisible🤡
Hi, what’s the name of the song and artist that starts at 4:22? It’s great as a soundtrack while playing.
Awesome just keeps getting better cities skylines
11:47 This house is highly reminiscent of the house from the movie Parasite.
Are the tram and bus models in the free patch?
Tram requires Snowfall
Need snowfall for trams, buses are free
finally more lanes for tramroad

It's a district style, same way you would apply Modern City Centre :)
Is it just me or are the new dlcs not on instant gaming yet? Any info on how long it takes to be available?
I just wanna ask the developments did thay see UAE skyscraper or China
Human Chirper = Nightmare fuel
I'm slightly disappointed that there's no skyscraper from Montreal (like the Tour de la Bourse and 1000 de la Gauchetière) in the skyscraper pack.
The one tower with the hole looks a lot like the „Shanghai world financial center“
Hehe EGG seems BoB is gonne be a must have mod now, to get rid of those chirpies 😋
Does new road available for Nintendo switch? FYI switch do have snowfall + after dark DLC.
anyone know if this will be added to the remasters?
