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.

[@imperatur]

Thaaaanks!!

[@japes7]

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.

[@tomatomediumrare]

@@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?

[@user-pt9fj7et6h]

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.

[@Lucass097]

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

[@mr.neko0]

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

[@quackingpanda8466]

yeah i felt like they rushed the release of cs1. the expansions are so far away

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.

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

[@An_Economist_Plays]

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.

[@Nekroido]

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

[@faizi-5373]

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.

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.

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

[@asfodem]

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.

[@An_Economist_Plays]

No, it's a totally fair comparison. The CS2 release didn't make the CS1 DLC and assets go poof and disappear.

[@asfodem]

@@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.

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.

[@quackingpanda8466]

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.

[@An_Economist_Plays]

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.

[@mrdriver2988]

@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

[@An_Economist_Plays]

@@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.

@@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.

[@tigonologdring9189]

@@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.

My biggest issue is it's almost $400 ($377.97) on steam to buy all the downloads and expacs right now whereas Cities: Skylines 2 is only like $89.99. Even if the first one is better, that's just waaaay too much money.

[@IfbbProRolandcHazard]

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.

[@VENTRIXI1]

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.

[@jezraelaureano7807]

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.

[@SaintFacetious]

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.

I feel like it is unfair cause CS1 has years of dlc and CS2 only has one

[@simons1120]

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.

[@darchelon6715]

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.

[@udishomer5852]

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.

[@badger3d431]

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

[@udishomer5852]

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.

[@hermes7587]

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?

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..

[@userreview2806]

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 :)

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.

0:05 NEVER HEARD THE WORD AGAIN

[@noah_dzn951]

think so in the same way

[@bossfight6125]

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

[@NightWarp]

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.

[@Ethanghosh5098]

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?

[@Jean_Mi]

Je suis d'accord avec toi J'ai joué 850 heures sur CS1 avec presque tous les DLC et quelques Mods Mais seulement 10h sur CS2 car je le trouve... vide J'attends l'éditeur de carte avant de reprendre CS2 en mains

[@GaryTaro45]

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

[@Simaritan]

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.

[@EasyGG1]

It would be fair to compare Cities Skylines (release version) with CS2. Actually Cities Skylines is much better game because DLC´s and mods.

[@diegopizzo553]

Pero ese CS1 está lleno de mods, deberias compararlos sin ellos

[@Andre_3dits]

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

[@TJusnow]

I’d say compare cs1 at release to cs2 at release.

[@gp5313]

CS2 needs time to mature more I have the patience

[@Danica_Sue_Patrick]

I say CS2 is way better just upgraded graphics and more stuff that base has than CS1 ever had.

[@shawntodar4701]

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.

[@rajkolambekar3800]

I think comparing the base games would have been more appropriate. CS 1 got way better with the expansions and DLCs.

[@badpuppy3]

If you compare only the vanilla base games without expansions, CS2 is the winner.

[@okamishiranui7841]

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.

[@JBCreatieve]

compaire if cs2 have count dlc's like cs1 and have lots of mods ,then you can choice a winner, compare vanila cs1 with vanilla cs2 thne winner is cs2 .

[@Charles_Anthony]

It would've been much closer between CS1 vanilla and CS2 Vanilla but I still feel like CS1 wins by a star or two. It had more parks, more paths and quays upon release which means it will still be easier to customize your city to how you want it to look. The paths in two just don't look good and don't match the cement color of other buildings/parks.

[@JBCreatieve]

@@Charles_Anthony i think your city painter,want detailed realistic city,that,because this things are not in the game yet,you want play like cs1 its is now. ,cs2 is a simulator not a painter,maybe later it will become like that.

[@Charles_Anthony]

@@JBCreatieve: What are you talking about? CS1, while looking cartoony, was a simulation.

[@ZazzelTheGamer]

You're showing mods in Cs1. Show the base game compared to the base game of cs2.

[@Stronghart]

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).

[@devonglide1830]

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.

[@5blocksmc979]

i think cs2 looks better if you are playing vanilla without dlcs

[@supermir168]

3:11 well the ships look better in cs1 and cs2 no clipping
