Thanks to Paradox for sponsoring this video
We're checking out Cities Skylines 2 (City Skyline 2) today, and what better way to do it than to limit our city to a single tile, once we've learned the game a bit more we'll come back and see if we can improve our city building skills!

Whenever Matt says he is going “off grid” for road design, you know it’s going to be the strongest shape

[@brokeandtired]

It is very European.

20:42 One tile. Nine tiles. Matt is counting like an architect.

[@Dragonmdk]

Nah, you start with 9 tiles now unlocked, as they're generally a lot smaller, but cheaper. So to Matt, he was given 1 tile that is subdivided into 9 tiles based on the tiles around it.

[@lisahenry20]

One tile. = nine characters (uncluding full stop and space) therefore one tile. = nine tiles

[@okram2k]

I think it's time to compare the water physics of city skylines 2 vs city skylines 1

[@mr.pepino]

Fun fact: you can expand certain buildings such as the highschool for more capacity or add a sport field! Just click on the building and you’ll see it

[@struebz]

That’s cool, like the awesome sim city (2013) 😊

9:21 I don't know why I thought he was just drawing random shapes in the beginning. I've been watching this channel long enough to know better so this shouldn't be a surprise anymore but yet it still sometimes catches me by off guard. I guess that's the real reason that the strongest shape will forever rein supreme!

[@unclefunless6881]

Luckily he didn’t Cock’it up and his roads had great medical coverage

[@Rwdphotos]

So how are sewer lines designed when there are curved roads everywhere? In my irl city, nearly half the roads are curvy-wurvy

[@Meh-No]

Ignored all other KZbinrs playing CS II until Matt got to play it. Worth the wait. I love Matt’s reactions each time his city levels up.

[@sloth0jr]

Matt - curious about this game, particularly if they've enhanced water physics at all. Would like to build things like streams, irrigation ditches, or small drainage channels, something that didn't work really well at that much smaller scale with Cities: Skylines.

[@mariavictoriagarciaguill-ss8kz]

First thing Matt does on a city building game: build a bridge

[@pseudocoder78]

That's actually the second thing...

[@Broodjekip-mt7rq]

The first is opening the game

[@zellski1234]

I saw you can buy tiles even if there not connected to another one what if you tried doing a city that was checkered style only buying tiles diagonally and none next to eachother?

[@SmartassX1]

The rapid water near the prison could be a good spot for a hydroelectric power plant. Just stick a dam in there. The awkward small useless pieces of land between the private houses could have giant wind propellers. And you could set up subway trains and put the largest roads into tunnels too. That would save enough room to add some large malls and what not.

[@BinauralBae]

My friend and I rate bridges IRL because it started as a joke and got out of hand in the best way possible. At least according to us. That bridge review made me so damn happy

[@amppari_234]

10:05 Finland mentioned!!1!1!1!! Suomi mainittu perkele!!!

[@carntzen92]

Can't wait to pick this up at some point. Hopefully the devs actually manage to sort out the admitted performance issues they plan to release with by then.

[@FunkyWombat]

The TTP on this video was longer than I was expecting...I mean we knew what all those roads were going to be, but almost 10 minutes before the full Monty was impressively restrained for Matt.

Im so excited to watch every single cs2 video from matt im literally just watching my pc be wasted until this game comes out

[@Goodywloss2010]

Soon as RCE didn’t make a knob with the roads straight away especially after all the set up about curved roads I realised the Devs obviously made a deal, we will sponsor you but no knobs on the first play through!! EDIT-- he just zoomed out…. Devs obviously were slipping when negotiating the sponsorship

[@wavemaster407]

1:06 That is a very tight roundabout. Normally they have broad angles so traffic can flow more freely and semi trucks can make it around.

[@wavemaster407]

Also COME ON DEVS MAKE IT AVAILABLE FOR MAC I'LL GET THE $90 VERSION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@burningbricks_]

In Germany we have a very stupid dad joke in the official naming of these bridges to nowhere: They're called a "Soda-Brücken"/"soda bridges". But Soda is not only meaning sparkling water, but you can write it "so da": "Just there". A very stupid dad joke on a nationwide level.

[@mikkot4124]

[@psycho8logist]

Considering the high pollution, bad healthcare and education, and the fact that it's a small gray city with a river flanked by tall mountains, this place reminds me a LOT of Santiago de Chile.

[@Yzekial]

He actually did it, got CS2. Still wish they made RCE play it while lifted up by a crane

[@bramcallaert7828]

At first I was like what is this guy talking about counter strike 2, but I agree that would have been epic

[@terrydactyl2077]

I love the the beginning of what I think will be a great game. Even if it will be perhaps costly with dlc. But my one wish that I used to think a CS sequel would bring would be that individual plots would connect despite curved roads. Fences could line up at whatever angle is needed. Their could be certain things like gardens/pools that always line up with the back of the house. Trees/garden sheds etc could connect to a back or side fence line. Then the grass yard texture could fill to fit the rest of the property within its fence line no matter the size or shape. More larger buildings and commercial/industrial could be fine with just adding more concrete ground textures in the blank spaces. There might be more games but I remember playing the Manor Lords demo and seeing that they did something like this for the little house plots and I was thinking the next Cities game would do this. But I’m back to filling in as many trees as I can in between houses to disguise the empty spots.

[@GamerNintendo25]

Colossal Order are Finnish Matt. You are always building Finland when playing their game

[@Gymnasiar]

One thing im actually hoping for is that the Devs will include nice tools for Road Management. Cant wait to play this

[@shanebentley5630]

SO excited to see new cities and myth busting! RCE, is it possible to turn that motion blur off? Looks like it might be bringing down your framerate, and makes me feel queasy. lol

[@CanonOverseer]

The motion blur is bad, but the framerate looks bad because it probably is, game can run bad even on 3090s

[@7weco]

@@CanonOverseer its not gpu heavy game.... it can run on like gtx 570... its super cpu heavy, and will start lagging even with the best consumer cpu's quite fast

[@showusyabits]

The fact that you got this game early means you are an architect, architects designs things long before engineers get their hands on the product. from this point on i shall refer to Matt as the RealCivilArchitect(RCA), i may need to update some scores on Poly Bridge 3 as a result...

[@aundesignSWE]

11:49 thats a really interestinng shape you've got your city in xD

I am so excited for Matt's Cities Skylines II videos!!

[@stuartcastle2814]

One of the things that irriated me about Cities Skylines on the Oculus Quest was that you only get one or two blocks (can't remember which), but you can't buy more. While it is awsome to see your city in VR, the problem is, I've used pretty much every centimetre of the blocks I have, apart from a bit that is occupied by a sheer rock face that I can't get rid of, or use. I haven't played Skylines 2 much yet, but will be doing so.

[@LemonzXtra]

petition for real civil engineer to change his name to real civil architect on aprils fools

[@multigameswithryan9215]

The sad thing is this means no more Cities Skylines. No more engitopia, it will all be eventually moved to Cities Skylines 2. NOOOOOOO THE MEMORIES

[@marinatedbeefcubes]

cant wait for the shenanigans youll make in this game! ✨

[@sharkssaviation]

3:34 in Australia theres always small roads that just come off the 4 lane road to like a one way because theres cars on the side so we give way so basically comes off from like 70kph (45 mph) to 50kph idk why the tiny squashed roads have a limit of 50kph(30mph) probably cuz an architect made it

[@boxcarwillies1603]

Maybe after this we can get another poo-cano Or maybe an even bigger map that Matt would have to constantly keep on top of problems. It could be a test for how good his management skills are

[@matttondr9282]

What this game needs is different sizes or levels of buildings. A small town doesn’t need a university that huge.

[@user-sz7qi6dd9o]

your positivity and enthusiasm are absolutely wonderful!! "the bridge is threatening me" i almost rolled of my couch lauging🤣

[@ethannarrow5209]

Well, I don’t know how you do it across the pond, but over here in Murica, you can totally curve sewage lines. We do it all the time. in fact, it’s easier to curve those than water line unless it’s HTPE, which is less common.

[@Daddyoh94]

I love watching RCE’s videos, especially the city builders. I have to comment on the “30% is nothin’” line though. That’s a lot of taxes.

[@djchrismac]

So glad you got a copy at last and the devs saw sense but where the hell is the scaffolding going up then unravelling to reveal a new building? Gutted that's not there, one of the best things in a city builder is a new building being revealed in that way.

[@gshingles]

7:59 Yes, there will be steam. Another half-realism of the game, you don't burn coal and collect the electrical output from it with grid plates, you burn coal to turn water into steam to drive turbines connected to generators. Coal plants should require lots of water. CS2 looks nice though, I will check it out... after I've finished InfraSpace :)

[@Yourname942]

[@garrettrobertus7189]

A lot of those are actually steam. Visible emissions from coal power plants are very low due to regulations, hell emissions have been cracked down upon quite a lot in America. Also the power plant is modeled really well as they do look very similar to that from both ground level and in the air, so props to the devs for paying attention to detail.

[@garrettrobertus7189]

There’s also a reason why power plants are hardly ever shoved right next to one another BTW not dishing on anybody here I love mat’s content and the dev’s did a great job😁
