Cities Skylines 2 PC performance does not reach internal benchmarks, but Paradox will still release CS2 on time, as we also learn about Cities Skylines 2 mods.
Essentially the engine is more modern, the graphics are nicer, and the simulation seems to be better. It is also hopefully a better base for newer mods.
I love CS1 but the engine is 8 years old and PC gamers in particular have been hitting the engines limits in multiple ways for years. There were also some fundamental design decisions which limited the scope of what could be done with the game going forward - it is definitely time for a sequel.
To be fair though, CS1 is going nowhere and has a massive amount of content available for it (including the massive free community content). It will probably take a couple of years before CS2 surpasses it. Although for Console gamers it’ll probably quickly surpass what CS1 was and is able to offer.
“What does this newly released game do that this other game (THAT HAS HAD EIGHT YEARS OF MODS AND EXPANSIONS) doesn’t do?”
Keep you from asking stupid questions, for one. Just like every iteration of every heavily modded game ever. And in eight years you’ll be asking the same stupid question about CS3.
What exactly does CS2 better than CS1 with mods?
