To all of you guys saying that CS2 should be compared to first version of CS1 - if I release now new car, that will have as many advantages as first Ford cars over 100 years ago, would you buy it full price to be fair and give me the same time to develop, that Ford had? Or you expect cars produced nowadays to meet modern standards?
Same is here - they give us old car full price.
Thaaaanks!!
I can't agree fully. I won't bash the video saying CS1 should be compared like it was at launch. Updates should definitely be included.
But 2 categories specifically, maybe 3, is wrong.
1st is the sport fields, CS1 has no sport fields in its parks except if you buy the sport fields content creator pack. At least CS2 has sport fields in vanilla.
2nd one was the university building, I feel like university should be compared to the universities we had in CS1. Like the actual assets, not the campus area. It remains to be seen of area type tools come to CS2. Until then I wouldn't compare it with the functionality of painting tools which were mostly DLC. Not everyone had the campus or airport one. But I think most had industry and Park life which is more fair to compare to CS2.
@@japes7 yeah, but there is an answer in CS1 for basically everything there is to compare. Honestly I believe that if the devs would want a step forward, they should take EVERYTHING what players use from CS1 (every most used traffic mod, every good DLC, every popular asset etc.) and put it in vanilla CS2 for further growth. Now it seems like CS2 is in need to chase what is already there in CS1.
You wouldn't buy my company's new car for full price if it has 50 maxspeed, no AC, manual side windows etc, to give me some time to update it, right?
What CS1 taught us was that we could have 3D assets by the thousands. It's incredibly easy to import a 3D asset in the game. Putting an american football stadium in theCS2 really doesn't impress me. On top of that, those assets are lifeless. It's a 3D assets with "+10 attractivity" or so and doesn't really bring a real gameplay. Your citizen dont care if its a dog poop place or a soccer stadium. That's why CS2 to me is really an "old car", sold at full price. They just threw away years of content just to bring us a new texture pack.
i wouldnt say that you should compare the first version of CS1 but you shouldnt include all the DLC's. You should compare both Base Games (from today) without DLC's or Mods
some parts like parks and airport were so gorgeous in cs1, but that also being carried by expansions. hopefully cs2 will get these expansion sooner so they could be better
yeah i felt like they rushed the release of cs1. the expansions are so far away
Agree. The comparison is as Imperatur says himself in the end a bit unfair for CS2. Potential is great though!
Hello, one of my biggest annoyances with CS1 is that the industries create these ground pollution spots, and theyre really ugly when i zoom out, is there any way or a DLC to fix it?
@@ManulajesNo unless you have the Eden project building
@@Manulajes The no pollution mod?
Games like these need months or years before they are optimised. Even cs1 was being updated untill last year! And the mods etc just improved it too. I won't move to Cs2 for another year but I'm looking forward to it getting better just like cs1 did!
REALLLL
but it is the SAME company that develop CS2 >....> When Apple released an iPad, would you except them not to include in it all the technology they developped for the iPhone ? They have everything they just decided to throw away and they plan to resell it as DLC with extra step. That's not acceptable
@user-pt9fj7et6h 1st off didn't say anything about dlc, I said optimisation totally different thing entirely! 2nd how many cpus and gpus are there? 3rd apple is a bad example since they always send out updates to optimise there phones and pads! Infact anything is a bad example as everything gets optimised over time because technology changes so fast!
Yup. I for one is a patient gamer. Besides waiting for it to be better optimized. I'll only buy this once at least half a dozen DLC is out (and ton of mods) to get the experience I want.
Sadly y'all are missing out because the later you wait the less time you will be able to have to enjoy it as once a game has been released it's like a timing bomb for when the new CS3 will be released. I played Cod 19 when it was at the end so I really didn't get to experience the game like my friend who played it when it was released.
Somehow they managed to make the Cities 2 graphics more dull than Cities 1 while achieving lower performance! CO, I know you put effort into both games, but seriously???
I think most of us were looking for CS2 to expand upon much of what we had in CS1. Instead it is starting over, and with all of the problems, it's worse than that. I won't be getting CS2 anytime soon that is for sure.
Same bro 👊🏻
its free on gamepass if you got it!
@@eliisaac stilla int worth playing it for free.. it is a downgrade from cs1
@@eliisaac played on gamepass for 5h, uninstalled.
How did you think they were going to port every bit of content from every DLC over to a new engine? Your expectations weren't realistic.
Cs1 maps look so beautiful and temperate theme is so bright and nice. Cs2 looks much darker and depresive but much more realistic. I my opinion is it impossible to recreate rl city in Cs1, but it is possible in Cs2, but I would like to see Cs1 maps in Cs2
I've seen builders create absolutely realistic-looking cities in CS1 using Procedural Objects tools. I've seen others do it without PO, but through careful selection and placement of buildings and decorations. It's entirely possible in CS1 with the mods and assets available. Even on console, with the remastered edition, there is more detailing potential.
CS1 lost its charm soon when learned I can't build my home city. CS2 got mixed zoning, which is a step closer, but it doesn't have bike infrastructure support. Both games are still behind in terms of realistic urban planning
@@Nekroido Neither game can build a true modern urban center, which sprawls for many miles in every direction. We can build parts of big cities, cities inspired by big cities, or entire small cities, if we so choose.
I love the more darker tones of cs2
I'm planning to play CS on my laptop (it specifications is I5 gen 12HX, Vga Rtx 3050, Ram 12 Gb) which one should I choose? Cs 1 or Cs2?
Feels like a fairer comparison would've been CS as released v CS2 as released - a fully modded game that's had years of development and DLCs is obviously going to have more going for it than a game that arguably should still be being developed in house.
THEY could fucking use that all experience feedback and fucking mods to make cs2 way much better than making fucking game again with sligh change and shit performance ?! why most ppl that are so positive and defending Paradox are so dumb and dont have commonsense ? THEY had 8 years and 8 years of content to build on and they decide to fuck it all and make same game with worst decisions on way while charge you again for it .....
Even modded and with years of improvement, it should still look inferior to a brand new version of a game with all the upgrades that brings.
@@TotesRandomfair comment. Warcraft 2 with all its whatever would never beat Warcraft 3, and that's how sequels should look like
CORRECT! That is precisely why I'm holding my funds until after a few more DLCs have been released and once all the bugs from the initial release stomped out.
Agree with you
Weird that the things that games have in common and certainly should be compared is: water, lighting, day/night, weather, animations,... You forgot all those and seem to just focus on assets instead of general looks.
dude its a city building game, "city building". yes those things are important but if every building looks the same it doesn't matter lmao
Actually that’s what I don’t like. It’s been more than a decade. And they released a new version looks almost the same. Trees, water, weather, vehicles behavior, traffic ai, assets spread monotonously. Bla bla bla… so doesn’t feel like a new game. A more detailed version yes, but nothing more. The game doesn’t feel realistic. The game fails at bringing a realistic feeling in every department.
For me CS2 doesn't offer anything that I want or can't already do in CS1.
Add to that I can build much bigger in CS1, with better performance as well. Easy win for me
I've not actually played the games on PC, only played CS1 on PS4, but enjoy watching Cities content on YT, so forgive my ignorance, but how can you build bigger on CS1 than CS2?
Unfair comparison: CS1 with lots of DLCs and mods and enhanced graphics against basic just-released CS2. CS1 in 2015 vs CS2 in 2023 = CS2 wins.
No, it's a totally fair comparison. The CS2 release didn't make the CS1 DLC and assets go poof and disappear.
@@An_Economist_Plays Yes it did. Because we're not talking about the same game. You cannot compare a modded game which has several years of DLCs and additional content with a game which was released a few months ago. The point of the video is: is it worth it to migrate from CS1 to CS2 now? And not: will CS2 be some day better than CS1? Because to the first question we can surely answer no, but to the second one, it's quite sure that the answer is yes, because CS2 settles a brand new start to the game (which, yes, isn't at the level of its big brother with years of experience) on which a bunch of mods and DLCs will be built, where CS1 is now very limited in the progress we can offer to it because of its age.
@@asfodem When you said it's not worth it to migrate right now, you compared CS1 to CS2. 🙂
@@An_Economist_Plays according to the video*
Just what I was thinking. Try Cities Skylines 1 without any graphic mods or assets and then compare!
Totally agree with the video. I still prefer to play CS:1 than CS:2. Many DLCs, thousands of mods and almost 0 no bugs.
I think a better comparisons is both comparing SC2 and SC1 at base launch. Compared to CS1 and all its DLC's and expansions and assets from mods. As that had 8 plus years of updating and additions put into the game.
I disagree: CS1 is the main competition for CS2. If CS2 can't match it in features, that's on the CS2 team to address.
@CitiesTimeLines the way Collosal Order has gone with CS2 is the same as CS1 with adding additions, features creator assets and putting it behind DLC's.
Hence why comparing both games at base before any DLC's is personally a better way in comparing both games, how else do they get more of their money, by adding old features and new features and putting it behind a DLC
@@darren6589 that's not the tale of the user counts. CS1 has a higher user count now for most of the day and is peaking higher, trending upward. CS2 is on a downward trend: gamers aren't convinced it's a better game, by and large. This includes people who have excellent gaming rigs and even people who were gifted the game to salt in some early good press.
@@mrdriver2988 Looking at where CS1 has come since launch gives an idea ahead of the roadmap for CS2, but by no means should we consider CS2 better or worse relative to CS1's historical start. The games we have now are what we compare, and we can see how others evaluate things as gaming trends show players essentially leaving CS2 and returning to CS1 over time.
What they need to do with CS2... is completely redo all the terrain textures. All of them. And draw inspiration from the most detailed, best themes like Laviante, Praria or similar that CS1 has. That light brown dirt texture in CS2 just looks awful.
The comparison shows how the developers did nothing in developing the new game. The only thing we got was advanced road tools. Public transport was basic. We don’t even have terminal train station and airport is absolutely horrible. Despite making things more advance and realistic, they just developed a new game with few mechanics and that’s it. They should’ve at least included all the dlcs in some form in cs 2 on release.
The devs haven't learned a thing from CS1 :(
Comparing an all-DLC CS1 compared to CS2 it would be unbecoming to suggest that CS2 hasn’t developed.
@@chevrolet-poitiers9507: Better roads and zoning is six tiles deep...
That's it. They didn't even improve how zones handle curves or hills...
agreed @@Charles_Anthony fundamentals at the minimum should've been improved and they could've used mods as inspiration
@@Charles_Anthony The quality of assets, map size, zoning demand not being scuffed, in-depth economic foundation, and a neutered colour-pallet make (in my eyes) CS2 a viable alternative for a vanilla CS1 - even if it cannot have the same diversity of assets, performance or aesthetic as the original.
I definately disagree in some points, I think CS II will get at least 15 or so, especially vanilla roads,bridges and Scale is a must for CS II which you gave to CS I. By the way - this is the comparison of 8 year old CS I having 34 DLCs with day 1 CS II with 0 DLC. Thanks for the great video.
I thought the same, the best comparison would be the vanilla base game with no DLC otherwise it's not a fair comparison.
it is fair as they could do it better after that long time .... why justify greedenes and shit decision making ? there were no reason why some essential mods,assets and other from cs1 would not apear in cs2 i some way ..... they have exacly same game relased after 8y with worst performance and slight change in some aspects @@ogxcoleman
@@RappelzWikiaPolska Because the game is entirely different (not the gameplay but the actual game codebase). The new game uses the ECS engine and the whole way things operate is different, hence why no backwards compatibility. The modding potential is now greater than before and if a similar comparison is run each new year then you'll quickly see CS2 starting to run away with things I reckon. I think CO and Paradox needed to get that bit across better though as it would've smoothed out some of the rough reception.
what are your settings on CS2 cause my doesnt look that blurry and messy when i play it.
Maybe you should try CS1 without DLC to be completly fair
If we were to compare the original games, then releasing cs 2 is useless
nah man don't expect me to accept a version 2.0 of a product if it threw away all the knowledge, content & functionalities of the 1.0 version. The car AI in CS2 is even more bugged than the CS1 like excuse me ?
I think that with the current content available CS1 is better looking than CS2, although it isn't a very fair comparison since CS1 has had years of mods and dlcs. I'm sure CS2 will look much better by the time it's gotten the same types of expansion.
Well, that's true brother...but we are talking about right now to play.
CS2 looks better, we just have to wait for the DLC to make the game nicer
In other words, don't spend your money now...wait?
But currently CS1 already have tons of patches and DLCs right? What i really like about CS2 is the map themeing, and theme selection in zoning. Easier to make cities based on real world theme.
Yup that and i really like the scaling of CS2 as well. That and the seasonal weather and easy road building are immense improvement.
@@88balloonsonthewall70 oh yeah the scaling are so good, it is more realistic even it is still vanilla mode. The road are more realistic and easier to use too.
within 2 years CS2 will be crazy! It has a lot of potential! much more than CS1 even though for now I love CS1 a lot! I also like the 2 but1 is more complete!
Totally justified result. Besides, considering amazing assets in the workshop cs1 will be better looking for at least few years to come.
I don't understand all the comments about it being due to the expansions. It is the same company and their own game. They have all the knowledge and experience of the expansions they released for the first one. I don't think it is an unfair comparison at all.
As someone who has both BASE games, CS2 absolutely smashed CS1 with around 26-8 points. Many things in Cs1 were locked behind dlcs, so for the game looked kind of ugly and barebones. Also, i got CS2 on a discount so they ended up costing me the same. So for cs2 just wins for the average person that doesnt buy any dlcs or expansions.
Imo, CS1 is very underrated, where CS2 is slightly overrated. So if you're a beginner, buy CS1. You get to understand the game better for less money
I think they need to remake farm industrial service for CS 1 (using farm zoning like CS2) and more things, like adding more tiles from 9 to 81 officially, adding more emergency service building like, police post patroll (small radius, long with police patrolling area), police high departement (FBI and SWAT with new motion and animation), pharmacist (selling industry product and helping medics area), National Hospital (double radius than Hospital), Laboratorium (as Uniq Buildings and Medics with Hospital Radius and more rooms for patient), Medics Departemen (keep more healthy even if people smoking), new system for garbage service:truck trash will automatically transfer trash from landfills in 50% condition (can be adjusted) to incernation. New system for roads:now can specially adjusted as service road only, truck only, or all.
Comparing something that came out years + with its DLCs with a game that came out in less than a year doesn`t seem fair
So a brand new product is not supposed to be better than the older one because the older one had more...upgrades over the time? What the fuck are you people on?
@@lexxlexx9710yeah, I dont think you can compare the effort of something that is being built for 8 years (plus development period) with something that is brand new.
Or do you think Cities Skyline is like other game when they lauch a game 3 to 4 years after the last DLC they made?
When Sim City 2 came out, aside being Graphically superior and other new resources, almost everything that Sim City 1 has as content was far superior in comparisson with the second title.
@lexxlexx9710 Yes, since in today's gaming world, games aren't released fully completed. Instead modern games are released as a base game that will get completed over time as more things are added until the game is finally completed. Stupid I know but we are in the always updating age.
It is not fair but it is necessary, so people can choose, this is not a competition but a useful comparison for consumers
At least for now, OG Cities Skylines ftw. My rig can't handle CS2 to look good, while I get better graphics and performance on OG.
Now I'm more engaged into CS2, haven't played my CS1 since October tbh, hopefully the DLC will be released soon
Moin, machst du auf deinem Deutschen Kanal noch weiter oder bleibt des jetzt so?😂😅
Hai ser! Du ju meik videos in fjuchar alsou on se gärmön chenel ?(Sorry, die Gelegenheit muss ich ausnutzen😂)
CS1 (Modded) is and will be the best.
That's pretty impressive for CS2, considering it was only launched recently.
both of them are amazing but the CS1 has a better performance than CS2 (except for traffic Ai they are horrible)
MY OPINION don't be mad
I don't think all the DLCs should have been included. Parks, Campus, Industries were all major overhauls to the original design. Someone above says something about "comparing cars" and how they should be produced to meet modern standards. But these DLCs are like adding batteries, sunroofs, electric windows, seat heaters, nav screens... Those are all great to have, but not essential to the functionality of a basic car, which is more or less the same design from a 1991 Ford Taurus to a Ford Taurus today. The engine block has been rehauled, and the 2024 model is definitely a lot better, but you don't get the sunroof or electric windows still unless you pay the extra.
We are waiting for cs1 gameplay
For starters. These are not Originals/Vanilla most that have been Shown are DLCs which is not fair for a game that has just been released.
If you include Workshop assets, mods and plopping, CS1 will win a few more categories.
I hardly use any vanilla assets anymore. Mainly some networks and service/unique buildings.
Residential, commercial, office, industry, vehicles and trees are either Workshop, DLC or CCP.
At this point the result seems justified.
CS1 holds an edge because of the huge amount of assets from 8 years of DLCs and content creator packs and more.
What would be the result if you only compare both base games?
I have only one question here - why the trees are dancing in CS2? 😮
I have both games, CS2 looks more realistic and I like how you can zoom in and see more detailed textures along with the better animated citizens. When they optimize it up more and create more mods, right now its a basic model stripped down version Corvette. Thats ok, I think I'll go back to my suped up to the max Dodge Charger CS1 and continue to have fun. Don't get me wrong, when the supe up that Corvette CS2, I'm on it.
Dont get it why so many people wants to refer to SC1 vanilla base game claiming they had so many year to tune it. They also had all those years to come with CS2 and when you releasing part 2 of any game, baseline should be already better than what previous game has to offer actually. If not whats the point of buying part 2
I feel like we are gonna see a CS1 Pack come to CS2. If they do that I would be all over it.
Where’s the Mixed Use category? What about medium density? And seriously which has the best Parking Lots? Your missing some of the best Categories for CS2
CS1 has lots of medium density and parking lot assets, both from the Workshop and CCPs.
Mixed use is lacking, just a few assets from Smilies.
Idk about anyone else, but I disagree with a lot of those ratings. The overall look of CS2 is much more realistic and interesting.
I think the main issue with CS1 is that everything is so bright and almost flat looking. In CS2, the colors are much darker and look more like real life than a video game.
CS2 looks more like high resolution google earth and CS1 just looks like a game
I'm also a big fan of having any and all greenery in a city. I don't like the look of concrete and plain brick because it's usually just too dull. I think that CS2 does a better job at including greenery in a lot of assets.
CS2 might be better, but it's a bigger problem with performance and requirements even with the high end still had crash issues. I would pick CS1 anyway.
I scored this at 21-13 to CS2, but almost all the public transport favoured CS1, which makes a big difference
This comparison really show how little work has been done by CO and that they chose to sell old with new texture. It's a massive step backwards this CS2. They could easily have created a texture DLC and that's it, alongside the few modification on road tool (which actually wasnt very needed as we all had mods improving our tools such as Anarchy). But no, they prefer to erase years of content, just to sell us new textures. And now they'll be happy to spend years recreating their previous DLC and sell them again. Very upsetting.
A lot of people say that the comparison should be CS1 at start vs CS2 at start, but that is really not the best comparison... CS2 is supposed to be a successor, so should be as good or better than the first. CS2 I feel has gone backwards in terms of ability than CS1 is at it's current state, however Vanilla to Vanilla comparison, I feel that CS2 incorporated many features that you need a MOD for in CS1. Now that CS2 is out, I don't think CS1 is going to get better from Colossal...CS2 is the future and will be the focus for sure. CS1 is still relevant however, and will still be community supported for the foreseeable future. I look forward to CS2 and the content that they will bring...but they have to be spectacular DLC's in order to keep from loosing players. Only time will tell
I definitely think CS1 has an advantage with the amount of features it has due to all the updates and DLCs, but CS2 already has a good graphics advantage. After some years when CS2 has the same DLCs like CS1 has, the tables will definitely turn!
CS1 is now around 8 years old and it's been improved throughout the years. CS2 just came out but even if I have high hopes and believe in its future potential, it came out as an unfinished product.
I agree with the video, but the comparison isn't fair, at least in the current of CS2. Video waa entertaining and I'm looking forward to another one when things get leveled out a bit.
I just have to say that network tool (roads and rails) is way better than any mod CS1 had. So at least that exceeded my expectations.
CS1 is much more well developed. Overdeveloped I should say. Some DLCs counteract eachother giving us too much for one city. We needed new clean game at this point. But they offered us too little at start.
Hey guys, I hope it's the right place to ask.
So I'm contemplating between buying CS1 or CS2. I am a casual builder with some experience in SimCity, but I've wanted to try something new for years now. My idea was to buy CS1, but as the years went by, CS2 was released (I don't have much free time) and I see all the criticism surrounding it.
So as a kind of beginner, who won't spend 10 hours daily on the game, but rather just play it casually sometimes, which game would you recommend?
If you don't want to mess around with a bunch of mods and custom assets, you should probably go with CS2. Keep in mind they'll probably release more DLCs in the future (a bunch of the content from CS1 is later additions from DLCs). Just make sure your computer can handle CS2, because it's quite demanding.
@rowaystarco I have a 4090 will I be able to run it at 60
CS1 was a really polished game thanks yo all the updates and modding community.
CS2 needed more time to be ready to compete at all.
It was really confusing to hear the annoncment for CS2 right after the airport DLC.
I wish they just never did CS2 and continued dropping packs for CS1 a few more years
A fully modded cs1 is no contest.... try base game vs base game and the results change dramatically.
The thing to keep in mind is a lot of content in cs1 was paid dlcs, cs2 is just the base game cost
The reason cs1 looked bwtter on most cased was because of dlcs. Although the fact cs2 didnt have those dlcs built in, where is the extra 20 dollars on the game going?
I feel like it is unfair cause CS1 has years of dlc and CS2 only has one
i feel like some categories should carry more weight but yes overall cs1 looks slighty better
Beyond the comparisons today, instead of at launch for example, the simple fact is in order to rub our noses in it later despite all our complaints about both games in the present being valid and true, they will and need to do whatever they can to fix CS2 to salvage their reputations/ego's. INSTEAD OF ADMITTING THEIR "NOT FAILURES", BUT NEGLECT AND BAD CHOICES...
And to try and prove that we were wrong and erase the truth along the way, retro-actively. They'll rewrite history, blame their customers YET AGAIN for not being patient enough or showing these ego-centric and self-deluded $$$$ grabbers that we're the problem and not them. THAT'S THEIR REAL MISSION RIGHT NOW. NOT TO GIVE US WHAT THEY FAILED TO DELIVER WITH THE FIRST GAME, OR SECOND GAME ON IT'S RELEASE... BUT TO PROVE ALL OF US WRONG IN THEIR OWN MINDS LOL They have, several of their employees, made comments that back up this sentiment. All anyone has to do is search out some of their comments about these topics. Online or in comments sections. Their actions/ lack of actions speak volumes as well.
We all KNOW had badly this company neglected CS1 in many ways and made the game even more unplayable in the end by bloating it with un-needed and mostly unwanted things instead of fixing what was still missing or wrong with their game. Not to mention how they used it as a beta version for it's entire run just to produce the second product. They still haven't even updated or patched some stuff from previous DLC'S that need fixing. Like the metro in the international airport only working when it feels like it. about 10% of the time without destroying the metro with moveit's select all feature and plopping down a new metro. FROM 2015 LOL
Reality is, the people behind this company don't DESERVE for any of the people they basically crapped on and abused for 8 years to spend more money on their products. And we desperately, just a couple years ago were begging them to release a new version. Then they abandoned and insulted us and even seemed to intentionally sabotage the game on loyal customers and spit in our mouths at the same time.
I still enjoy playing CS1 for the most part. I remember waiting up all night for the pre-order to drop and be downloaded. For the only downloadable instead of installable game I ever have or ever will purchase. This experience is why I WILL NEVER buy another game without physical media again. Or trust that "playable offline" promise either lol
I no longer care if they somehow, accidentally, get close to their promises for over a decade now, I simply can't bring myself to spend any more money with this company.
CS1 is a vastly superior game. The only thing that CS2 has done better is highways and interchange tool functionality. Other than that, it's a game that I'd guess most people can barely play because of the performance issues. I think it a lot of ways it also looks worse and the simulation isn't as impressive.
can you pls continue last Angeles series
It would be fair to compare Cities Skylines (release version) with CS2. Actually Cities Skylines is much better game because DLC´s and mods.
Cs2 graphic looks better then cs1 but cities skylines 1 operates better then CS2. We need to have the customs airport and university.
CS2 is a joke, however, it can be easily getting better with mods, unfortunately, Colossal Order decide to use their own platform which they don't have enough manpower to handle along with the current million bugs and postpone all mods for months, the last couple "weekly letter" is just keep telling player we will be on vacation for weeks XD
It would be nice if you put the name of the game you are showing... I really dont know if the first one is CS1 or CS2 XD
Was the comparison without any dlc?
Cs2 has so much potential. Really enjoy playing it already and looking forward to be part of all developments. Especially the assets European style
Totally unfair... as others stated... fully DLC and modded cs1 VS cs2 is not fair... also which is prettiest is always up to debate, what john likes, billy doesnt, ect.
Unfair comparison given that CS2 at this time is really an incomplete, bugged beta version whereas the version of CS1 it was competing with has more expansions and DLC that you can shake a proverbial stick it.
Where CS2 wins by far is the colour pallet. It's way more grounded and realistic which makes it more pleasing for the eye.
The bloom of CS1 makes it look too cartoonish for me.
Because of this alone, Cities Skylines wins for me in terms of aestetics.
Another big plus is the addition of medium density housing in CS2.
But... that's it.
Cities Skylines doesn't have the best assets
And it doesn't have many assets to begin with.
I find that we're very limited in what we can place. Both functionally and visually speaking
My biggest issue is that there's no traditional European architecture anymore.
But even beyond that - I wish for more variation for every type of building.
Give us train stations, grave yards fire houses etc. with different looks and different sizes.
You could easily integrate a little drop down arrow on every asset.
Click on the Elementary School and select from 3 possible assets or something.
That would be amazing.
Right now, everything is so... bland.
I think these is a certen carm/style to cs1 that hasent been replecated for cs2. And sure it does look a bit werid but thats what gives it a sole. Not saying the new one doesnt have that its just cs1 even at lanch seemed more lively
this video is a poor representation of comparison. you compare things such as: bridges, walking routes, industrial zones... which are present in the CS1 DLCs which were released a few years after the release of this one. so it's normal that it's better than in cs2, if everything was the same there would be no point in creating a new game. You have to compare the 2 games to their initial release dates
Not sure why you'd pick CS1 police station, it looks like a generic building to me. CS2 one has plenty of details and a functional garage, surely it's objectively more aesthetic? As for the others.. Well it's a bit of an unfair comparison, main issue would be lack of assets.
Anyways, one thing I wish for is buildable train/metro stations like in Transport Fever 2.
CS2 has no stadiums, no convention centers, marinas, amusement parks, zoos, piers, emergency service animations, bicycle paths, etc. You can't even see the visitor count for your parks or anything.
Nice vid but modded cs1 was a bit unfair thought it would be vanilla idk why.
I agree with you CS1 is better than CS2, CS2 is just beauty while CS1 is tools
I say CS2 is way better just upgraded graphics and more stuff that base has than CS1 ever had.
I think we all knew that CS2 would not have as much content as CS1. It was always going to lose the campus and airport battles. But seeing it lose the public transit and industry head-to-head is disappointing. Almost as disappointing as having the extra/new content delayed for months b/c the game was released a year to early.
CS1 had more time for downloadable content to be in place, so I think CS2 would have won for bringing more realistic scaled items and buildings because to build a good looking skyline you need the Green Cities and Skyscrapers DLC.
If you compare only the vanilla base games without expansions, CS2 is the winner.
Thanks for the side by side: nice idea and video, however I think with lots of comparison you are might be a little off, because you are comparing years of development with a new game.
For sure we need more assets, but in that CS1 was at it's end of life, and #2 at the beginning: to make a fair comparison you should take the release version of 1. Pretty sure that if done that, the new release would win with a landslide.
I do understand the sentiment; would be nice if everything that everybody wanted would be there at release, but we where to eager to let them develop for years to come ;-) - they could not start a stream without everybody typing SC2..
I understand your point, but the team has way more money and experience now than they did when developing Cities 1. It's honestly kinda disappointing that they didn't have more content at release :)
I don't think its fair comparing a 50 Dollars game with ~300USD Game + DLC's game.
I think on Vanilla stage, CS2 overpass the first one on almost everything when compared (road mapping being visible still horrible tho).
300usd? The most expensive skylines I could find on steam is 162 dollars - that's including 59 items. Where are you finding a 300 dollar version? Also, I'm sure you can get CS:1 for way cheaper at one of the discount sites.
Eh, a lot of stuff where the first part was outshining was added by DLCs n stuff, so idk.
But from the overall feeling, something about the first game feels off. No matter how many mods are installed, it just does not feel as realistic as the second game for me...but I cant quite put my finger on it
The game was, in its infancy, a very cartoony looking game. Each subsequent DLC brought it closer to being more realistic.
C:S2 just has zero interest level for me. The traffic AI makes it essentially unplayable. I would be able to get around that np if it wasn't for the fact the graphics are terrible, the assets make no sense, the performance is embarrassing (in fact so bad i feel legal trouble is heading towards this game) and the mods are policed. There's not a single aspect of C:S2 that exceeds (or even comes close to meeting) the standards of C:S1. It's going down in history as one of the decade's worst game launches.
Ich würde diesen Vergleich namentlich ändern. Da es sich beim zweiten Teil um einen recht frühere Version handelt und der erste Teil fertig ist. Ich würde mir einen weiteren Teil davon wünschen wenn cities skylines 2 recht weit ist. Bin aber über 50% deiner Meinung gewesen😌👌🏼
I don't think this is a fair comparison since CS1 has bunch of DLC and CS2 didn't.
my biggest issue with CS2 that it has no art direction whatsoever in comparison to CS1 but its not realistic enough to justify it, and in total it looks "uncanny"
if CS1 artstyle is playful and more of a "dream city", CS2 tries to be realistic, but still doesnt do it well enough, but doesnt have that cheerfulness that CS1 had
Wait which one is and and 2?
i think cs2 looks better if you are playing vanilla without dlcs
this is because cs1 has been polished and updated for over 8 years now. In 8 years time, I expect cs2 to be miles better. What do u think?
I think comparing the base games would have been more appropriate. CS 1 got way better with the expansions and DLCs.
In fairness CS1 has had 10 years of refinement... but the ball was dropped with CS2 in many ways. Colossal Order had a chance to do something special with CS2 and they missed the mark.
CS2 needs time to mature more
I have the patience
So sad I was waiting for so long for CS2 cuz I was expecting a big jump in graphics, my dissapointment was inmense :(
If you compared cinematic cam, cs2 blows cs1 away. Looks like a real photo city shot. cs2 sucks though. Released unfinished. Crowd funded imo.
There’s going to be at least 8-10 years worth of updates and DLCs to come to CS2, but right now CS1 is still being played because of the absent features in CS2 base game. But I can’t wait for CS2 DLCs and see what Colossal Order will bring to the table
I’d say compare cs1 at release to cs2 at release.
So it wasn't just my eyes then :D
I mostly agree with the over all look. CS2 cant do any LUT at the moment and the colors are muted. The under the hood stuff is better in CS:2 (not counting traffic). What is more interesting is how a game changes over its life time as its positively supported by the devs and how a game can be refined and kept "alive", as in interest, because it has been kept up to date, added to, refined. I look forward to cs:2 doing the same.
Nothing beats the OG cs1 but CS2 os very cool aswell (my opinion)
