Yes, they look perfect. But the wear looks very fake and is putting me off right now (looks like Google Erath with the drawings of the roads overlaid over the images). I've just asked about it on the original video, hopefully the answer indicate that it will be possible to personalise this.

@danielkatona8778 Год назад

@@bowilliams8643 They lean, because they are going uncrealistically fast to begin with. It would just look sped up if they didn't lean. So what would be great is a general "realistic vehicle speeds" option. Although they can keep it like this by default I think.

@LeDerpLegend Год назад

One problem I have is no bike transit. Besides that all of the other vehicles in the game look amazing. One thing I severely dislike though is the amount of smart cars I'm seeing. Definitely one vehicle I may remove when advanced vehicle options comes out as a mod.

@UtsobSengupta Год назад

We will embrace CS2 but can never forget the magic Biffa created with part 1

@chrissugg968 Год назад

I think the issue with those 'wear lines' on the roads is that they multiply their value where they overlap - so an intersection with lots of them is almost white where they all cross in the same place. If they had an upper limit to the value I think it would look a lot better.

@Soutar3DG Год назад

There's probably a graphical/gameplay setting to disable them.

@giangallo Год назад

Yeah those lines are awful, I hope they can be turned off. This is my one and only complain so far, it's very promising.

@EmptyGlass99 Год назад

I went on Google Maps and you do get the wear like this on some roads and intersections but it's not consistent or uniform and more subtle. It's the right idea but not implemented very well. Hopefully it improves.

@nicolasblume1046 Год назад

Yeah it's just way too strong, even where it's not overlapping. At least in Europe I have never seen any intersection looking like that

@jdjenk04 Год назад

Or at least make the wear and tear markings a little darker to match the rest of the road. Don’t mind the different shade to show but it just seems too drastic of a change from the original road.

@h2oQueen Год назад

Paradox has been the active parent/guardian, not interfering, always watching over and supporting. Very grateful to see their City Skylines child grow to where they are today.

@patrickj1962 Год назад

You asked for us to point out things we notice: 06:10 - road descends under rows of buildings when you follow it to the top of the screen after intersection going to the left. 09:35 - Good looking cemetery there on the left, with parking. 10:05 - Road at bottom going under buildings to the left. Also, nice transition from housing on the right, to bigger offices and business, then to downtown big buildings as you go to the left. 10:50 - Center of the screen, transitions from city on the right to industrial as you go left. Then housing below to support both. 11:35 - Harbor container yard on the left with ship coming in. 13:10 - Building roof on the left, roof equipment detail. House top of screen, detail of steps down to sidewalk. 14:57 - Signage on business roofs, and roof equipment detail. 15:35 - Parking lot lighting poles. 16:42 - Left side of the screen between building and curb people standing by fence and bench, fence bent. Same on opposite side of street. Fire escape on building top of screen left and right of center. Do roll up garage doors open to parking under buildings as there is no street parking there? AC unit on the side of building on right, detail. 18:42 - Detail on roof buildings, signage and reflections off solar panels. 19:05 - The amount of red shirted women and gold suited men? 22:05 - Power lines. 28:00 - the privacy fence at the bottom of the screen, pallets stacked and a container placed. The nice hedge between the traffic maint building and the building to the right "Pecnu Appace...". Lights in the traffic maint parking lot. 28:35 - Sound barrier detail, slanted in towards road at top.

@benoitblanchard1576 Год назад

I designed on paper an interchange between two quad-carriageway freeways with ramps leading to and from local streets as well. I drew that for the needs of a novel I was writing, which takes place on an abandoned planet, where colonists use a tunnel that's part of the interchange as a church (and the configuration leads one of the characters, imagining what it looked like when it was busy, to investigate why the planet is abandoned.) I think CS2 will allow me to actually render that interchange exactly like what I had in mind at the time.

@benoitblanchard1576 Год назад

One approach to the interchange has a sign that reads, "Highway 32 No Exits Next 14 km. Local Traffic Must Exit Right."

That is one thing that would be interesting and to see. There is some indication that there is a lot more anarchy in CS2. Like the roads that can be laid out across other roads, instantly creating the crossing. How much prop anarchy will be in the game? That's a question not answered yet.

I'm definitely gonna sink hundreds of hours into playing with the road tools 😂 One cool little detail: look at the 2 different types of lane striping at 18:41. Perhaps we can customize lane markings in the base game?

@insomnia333 Год назад

@richards31415 Год назад

@@insomnia333 no, the lane striping on the highway. I think it's to separate travel lanes from exit lanes or lanes about to end, as on real highways

@cgollimusic Год назад

It looks to me like that's automatic. You can see it in the video when the offramp is built. I'm seeing it as something like, say a 3 lane segment after a 2 lane segment will automatically have one lane have more frequent dashes. After that (as you can see at 18:41) the game will revert the dashes to continue as normal. The more frequent dashes just indicate that the lanes will change soon and seem to be automatic by the looks of it. I've not seen anything yet that suggests that line/intersection marking tool is a part of the game, it looks like lines are made entirely automatic, but we get much more modular lane merging tools for intersections/merges.

@flashbashergaming Год назад

I love the new roads and how the realism is spot on with on and off ramps. Over passes look real and even the pedestrian walks. Trains look a lot more real as well. I did notice while looking at the city buildings having lights on during the day, I seen a nice stadium in the background. I love the new walls we can add with roads.

@tomasn3 Год назад

Every time I watch anything with game play footage I get more excited to play CS2. My favourite thing with the roads episode was that there’s NO tearing! And the fact that you can build far more realistically (even with mods) than CS1. I’m also very curious on the one node per lane mechanic, will this mean that you can have raised roads with exits in the middle for an example? Got to say that this dev diary did a real good job at upping my excitement. This coming October will be the best fall ever

@thesunnynationg Год назад

the best about cs2 is lanes have their own nodes. we haven't even thought about this, its mind-blowing.

@khalilheron8385 Год назад

Ok but with the way roundabouts work, imagine being able to place protected bike intersection, in North American, Dutch, French or more styles. It’d certainly be possible and I’d love to see this kind of thing in the game.

@MOULDYBOULDER Год назад

I haven’t seen anyone talk about the shadows and lighting yet but it’s gorgeous!! You can really see the depth when a Road is lower than an overpass and it casts a shadow over top. And vehicles getting their own shadows just seals the deal for a realistic look

@SaintCyrX Год назад

I think it was a very smart move to change the financial time scale to hours (from the looks of the budget area). Now, I'm jumping to conclusions here, but tying the income to a more relatable time scale allows day night, seasons, commuting, traffic accident congestion, all of it, to feel more relevant and realistic.

@CieMaKat Год назад

21:08 - I don't know if this was mentioned, but the snapping options are (from the left): 1. All on/off; 2. Snap to existing geometry; 3. Snap to zoning cell length; 4. Snap to 90 degree angles; 5. Snap to the sides of a building; 6. Snap to guide lines; 7. Snap to zone grid

That is simpler to look and understand then trying to explain with text 😂😅 To be clear, it isn't a modded roundabout, just an oldschool round about laying with road tools (2 roads crossing for bracing then curved roads) but underground.

I saw a lot of clipping issues throughout the video, but that means that you don't need anarchy mods to push the game just over the limit, which is great for console players!

@OnTheNerdySide Год назад

I can't wait to dive into the road tools in the new game. It looks like they added some of the best parts of the CS1 mods into the new base game and made things pretty intuitive to use. I hope the community understands and appreciates that there are so many of us and we all build differently, and the devs have worked hard to incorporate as many different play styles as possible in the development time they've had. Whether that means grids or no grids, roundabouts or no roundabouts, they seem to have tried to give something to everyone. Of course, as with every compromise, we're all going to have criticisms that it didn't go our way far enough, but our amazing modding community will likely be able to fill some of those gaps.

@KingArthurDent Год назад

Well said. I will not preorder as I have pretty much stopped preordering games out of principle. But from what I've seen so far in this video and the trailer one it looks like they've done enough changes to actually make it a worthwhile purchase, without changing it too much just for change's sake. I just hope the citizens don't need 5 service buildings every other corner street just to make them happy though, and for the AI logistics to be improved in general. I'm getting more excited about the game with these dev diaries, so they are doing a good job promoting the game in this way. And Biffa is covering them well.

@AlexaOleksa Год назад

I noticed that now you will be able to do dedicated turning lanes on road that goes into roundabout. For example: right lane goes only to right turn, central - strait, left lane goes to the left turn. I don't think it was possible before. You couldn't do hugo there, you could maybe achieve smth like that with all those color lines manual switching

This dev diary alone made me consider pre-ordering.

Does that mean we could plop unique structures like train stations, monuments, etc. before setting up the roads?

With a Ryzen 5 2600 and an RX 580 8GB, I'm above the minimum specs, but not to the recommended specs, so we'll have to see what that exactly means. A 2080 Ti or RX 6800 XT are huge purchases, especially since I'm pretty happy with my current performance. It looks like it will be available day one on the Xbox Game Pass, so I will probably play on there for the first little bit. It will take some time for the mod and asset creators to do their magic, and once that happens I'll end up buying it on Steam.

At 11:49, that intersection on the left bordering the the cargo port. Notice how the two-lane road is aligned to the 6-lane road, keeping the sidewalk along that one edge straight.

@duskmoon181 Год назад

I am REALLY hoping there's a way to use timed traffic lights and select where each lane goes. We haven't seen either of those two things yet tho as of this first Dev diary. Closest thing I can spot in the vid is the "No left turn, no right turn" options for roads now. But that doesn't exactly tell the lanes everywhere they can and can't go, like you could in CS1 with mods which added little nodes you could use to select where traffic goes from an intersection. But we SEVERELY need timed lights. Otherwise traffic will always conflict with one another. But, next weeks video is about AI and traffic, so maybe we'll get that? Who knows. Love your vids Biffa!

Also, everything certainly looks like when they add more features to the game it is easier and more readily accepted to existing parts. Not to even mention how mods will work with this system. Super excited to see how this game expands beyond release date.

So many things that Biffa actually missed that I am so excited about. Did you notice, for example, the grid and the way it shows the corners of where the zoning reaches out to? It's rounded! It looks like you can create proper cull-du-sac's and neighborhoods with proper curving property plots to maximize the corners of grid areas. I LOVE this little feature.

@jameswiebe8956 Год назад

Frankly, the intersection at 3:59 - I am more interested in the road markings. The three lane road heading down out of the intersection has a small set of "V" markings for the lane turning to the right on to it and the lane across driving straight on to it. The fact that this is unmodded makes me very excited to see what roads we will now be able to do in vanilla.

@Ghastly10 Год назад

Some of what is coming is awesome, just love that most of the roads have power, water and sewage built in. Yeah watching the persons video who did the city, for this trailer they said that it is a lot more challenging to make money in CS2.

@brokenarrow726 Год назад

That big sports field looks like a university. Loveing the way things look, and the fact that they understood the way the roads worked wasnt gonna be good to keep the same way it was. So happy to see them listening to the community (Hope they also listed to the roundabout king him self a bit) too.

@minibleau Год назад

to be honest CS has grown up in such a perfect way, the mods we've seen develope along the way!, the honest reviews of content packs etc. that making a second game that encorporates at least...a skeleton of the QOL mods we use, tmpe, roundabout builders, easier road tools (bridges tunnels underpasses interchanges, non snapping road layouts) i think itll be magical.

@maximielos Год назад

It's great that they intergrade things we use mods for atm. They really listen to what the community wants!

@MC-dd8gj Год назад

That road and highway layout is getting much better. With more realistic road system, it will be interesting if they make an extension pack for grand prix race and let us create the road closures, that would be fun.

@maidenminnesota1 Год назад

I love the cut and fill feature! Makes roads look more like real life. Also, I'm thinking the base roads that you modify with trees, sidewalks, bus lanes, etc. means the game will be more optimized so you don't need 100 different mods or assets to achieve the look you want, therefore your computer will be better able to handle it. My computer starts sounding the overheat alarm when I start adding all that stuff, so I purged my entire workshop and only added back those QoL things I couldn't live without.

@gsmith10001 Год назад

i actually think the road markings at 3:40 are not overlay indicators of where cars are going but literal physical indicators of them driving in those directions. if you look at a big junction in real life you'll often see dirt and dust piled up in the corners where the cars don't drive on those junctions, while the rest of the road is clear and that's what i think this is.

@smlgd Год назад

I really like how they separated number of lanes from type of road (like roads with trees etc) because one really big problem with C:S is the sheer amount of bloat especially with mods when you want to have different variants for each different size of road

@xRadio2006x Год назад

I am loving the possibility of being able to create realistic off-ramps and on-ramps to the highways in the base game. That was one of the major points of contention with me was making the highways look as realistic as possible, but never quite got the hang of the mods that allowed this. EDIT: also, thank you Biffa for making this videos. I can think of no better RU-vidr to talk about the new road system! 😂

@Foghorn8 Год назад

Considering the idea that underground roundabouts are a "whole new thing".... I recently discovered that the Faroe Islands have this amazing tunnel between some of the islands, including a roundabout around 70-80 metres beneath the sea bed. So cool. Just a thing I thought I'd share!

@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines , if you press 'e' in VLC you can frame skip. But you can only skip forward. If you want to skip backwards and forward, try getting MPC-HC. You can frame skip in either direction with Ctrl+arrow keys.

@SlyAceZeta Год назад

I think those yield signs are automatically placed when placing the roundabout module into the junction. That's what I think it means by vehicles following roundabout rules when placing them down.

@EXPLODINGETDOOD Год назад

Wow, wow, wow. So exciting! My favourite addition is the lane specific road nodes. That was something I was praying for the moment I started playing cities skylines with mods.

@DovahKanye Год назад

Vanilla CS2 is more complex than what we have now with modding in CS1, and it's all seamless, I expected that we would be able to split the roads up and have a lot more complexity, but they have knocked it out of the park with what they have included with this. If the rest of the game is half as good as this it will be a masterpiece. I think I'm gonna be buying this. Got plenty of time though, can't wait for you get your hands on this early biffa.

@rattler9246 Год назад

These new road features are incredible, instantly sold me on a pre-order!!! If I had to take a guess based on 17:43, the new roads seem to be bundles of lanes, instead of a solid road like we have in CS1. As an example, you're not placing down a three-lane road, but rather you're placing down three parallel lanes. After that, the engine works its magic with some blending tools (parallel lanes get white-dashed lines, splitting lanes get a solid white line and blank pavement in between, lanes that end abruptly merge into the adjacent lane, etc.) and everything comes out looking the way it should.

@marxxek10 Год назад

@shaneintheuk2026 Год назад

12:43 it looks like the arrows on the roads are much more varied. There’s European style roundabout left turns showing you must go around the roundabout. I’m sure I noticed 45 degree arrows. It’s not just Intersection Marking Tool but IMT with extras.

@Photatum Год назад

What I found really interesting is, how additional lanes like on/off-ramps are handled. They are actually added to the existing road at the relevant position instead of upgrading the road and realigning it as a whole. Haven't watched your - or any - CS videos for some time, so I'm not up to date how far mods have come, but I remember that fiddling with additional lanes, so that the existing ones still line up, was a bit tedious. One small detail there is also nice to see. If there's an on/off-ramp or simply splitting roads, the lane markers update accordingly, so they are tighter packed than the usual lane markers. What I hope to see, especially when lanes are handled as individual nodes, is that you can freely place tram lines on any lane you want and choose, if it's just for trams or cars as well. The same with bus lanes. If all is individual, this should be possible, I guess. Also toggling crosswalks is nice, if you want to use an overpass.

Hello Biffa, there should a list compiled to go over the “mods” that are being incorporated in CS2 so far. And the main one’s that haven’t yet. Like move it or multi-network tool for example.

@bobbodaskank Год назад

You know, this speaks volumes to the value of building your game with mod friendliness built in. The fanbase basically designed all the best features for a sequel for free in the first game, so the meeting about how to improve the road tools for the sequel was probably like five minutes long and just included a biffa mod list from steam on the projector.

@XDRosenheim Год назад

Little thing about VLC: Set up "Next Frame" in your keybind settings, to do... the obvious. (Tools > Preferences > Interface > Hotkey Settings) (If think it is "e" by default) By default + and - (Plus and minus, NOT on numpad) will slow down and speed up the video. (Finer control with [ and ] (Square brackets)) You can also change your "Short jump" (Shift+Right/Left) to something like 1 second, if that is enough for you.

@netkitten Год назад

Also the cars are MUCH more fluid - I dunno if it's for the demo but when they were going around the roundabout, they weren't coming off the ground or floating or whatever they typically did in CS1. It was more closer to an IRL traffic simulator which is so cool.

@gamophyte Год назад

Another item I've been keeping my eye out is terrain resolution - like how many vertices can we get now per how ever much land, so you don't get though wild bevels. You can see here at 20:12 where we see ground clipping, showing that it could potentially be in half of what we had before. Also I notice the waterfalling on cliffs looks finer.

@lightplane Год назад

Node per lane is amazing. In fact if you look at the game play trailer, you can see a highway ramp joining a normal two way road without breaking the centre line. In CS1 it would create a break in the road and allow turns in any direction. I'm also wondering if the light lane shading is an indication of road wear as maintenance is now an issue, or it's just showing possible paths based on lane rules etc.

@Blitzkrieger17 Год назад

Super excited for this!! Double yellow lines! I wonder if that means there can be center turning lanes? Curious to see what's under that parking tab too!
