Its very clear to me that these assets were not built for ray tracing, that being said the work you've put into modeling this city is absolutely astounding.
Absolutely stunning. I've been following this city ever since its' inception and it's great for it to come together in such a condensed yet richly detailed manner. Also didn't think the raytracing would be this good, so that's great to see.
Sadly there is no raytracing involved :( its just rasterization without indirect lighting. This ride with indirect lighting would have looked really moody and beautifiul.
Downright ridiculous. I’ve watched the whole vid with the open mouth, like a small child, because this is impressive on another level. I’ve been following this build since the very first episodes and seeing all of this come to life is simply beautiful. Thank you my man
OMG. I didn't think I wouldn't recognize the game with ReShade and these reflections. Everything looks 1000x better. Now Asturis is so realistic that I would gladly live there. Great job @Akruas ! Respect!
Just insane. The industrial area is something else. Absolutely wonderful work. I hope one day we could get the opportunity to do that kind of stuff in CS II.
These are the videos I live for. Seeing it in that first person view, as a city is meant to be viewed in real life, and seeing all of the incredible work you put in is awe striking. Watching you over the past 5 or so years really coming into the true artistry that’s possible with PO especially. Really inspiring honestly
I've watched you build this entire city and yet was completely blown away watching it in first person. Like seeing it all for the first time. Unbelievable work, as always.
DAMN impressive build. From the overall vision down to the fine detail. Bravo. My one critique, if it could even be called that, is that, what you've built here is stunning, but the thing that always stimulates me the most with things like this is the underbelly. With a city like this, there would HAVE to be a breathtakingly brutal and widespread criminal underworld festering beneath that glossy veneer. I would LOVE to see you showcase that. I have no doubt you could craft something equally impressive, but instead of beautiful and tranquil, it would exemplify that ugliness and rot and desperation that top-down, centrally planned cities always create down at the bottom, where the untouchables subsist. You know, those places the tour buses don't show people, and the central planners pretend either doesn't exist or is just as nice and safe as the rest of the city, despite the fact that they NEVER go there, even with all their heavily armed security. Just an idea, if you're looking for inspiration. Again, awesome build.
I think the way you've been able to play with different ground heights revealing all the layers really makes it feel like a maze. One might say it's a-maze-ing!
I don't realistically see any project coming close to this in a city builder ever. This is immensely impressive and I've thoroughly enjoyed the entire series.
When the tram turned from the space elevator to the skyline at around 1:35, just wow. And then the industrial area turned out looking really good too around 9:30. My favorite shot overall has to be the one around 13:05 though, with the towers looming above the busy cyberpunk looking pedestrian street. Asturis turned out really incredible.
It's so interesting to see it from this angle - I recognize and remember neatly all of these places, but they're still so new in some ways. It feels so much bigger and grander from this view too.
This is my first time seeing this city, How on earth does it look so good! I've been trying to make futuristic cities but can never seem to figure it out. Terrifically done!!
Impossible to overstate how futuristic and immersive this looks! every detail I watched you place, every area you built just ties in so well into a jaw-dropping final experience! I think this is architecturally a very innovative and exciting piece of work; really showcases your knowledge of architecture and urbanism. wish this city existed ^^
I thought it was strange at first that the people wore such old fashioned looking clothing, in such a futuristic city. But then, after seeing it a night like this I realized that it is future *noir.* Like Blade Runner. The scar area feels very Blade Runner, with the fire and smoke. Makes me want to fire up the synths and lay down some lush brassy pads over this.
Bro, with your skill and mastery of this game you could create a wicked rendition of Gotham or Springfield or something - if adaptations like that were your thing. Asturis giving me real Blade Runner / Neo Gotham vibes fr
Just wow! I put on some Patlabor music and together with this Great Video It was like I was right in Asturis You really did a great job, it absolutely paid off!! Since CS2 launch was a bit..."rough" Are you planning to start another project in CS2, only focus on Altengrad, or do a new project in the old cities skylines
8:00 clearance? Who needs it anyways ;) I feel the city deserved all the time spent on building for you, and I still remember the episode when you were just preparing the map It turned out to be absolutely the best... Change my mind!
Thats what i love about cities like Asturis. There are so many levels, public transportation options, public places, etc. You can always discover something new if you just walk randomly and thats what i love about it. What i hate is cities that either have a grid or are designed in such a way where every street looks the same. I like a city where you can just walk around and always discover something new. Where you can never feel like youve seen the whole city already. Tokyo is a great example of a real city like this.
Amazing build! What kind of ray tracing are you using? RTGI 0.4/0.5? SSR? Depth of field distance? (Default 1000 or custom? Can't find the right depth of field..)I'm also working with reshade but i'm having trouble to make it look so clear/without noise
fyi looks great on my Quest 3. Meta browser, TH-cam Full screen 4k !!!. The virtual screen is about 2.5 to 3 m diagonal making this feel like life size. Laurie NZ
I think that Akruas uses the good old technique and records the material at a reduced game speed (up to 10%?), and then speeds up the material x6-10 in post-processing
Love the level of details on the first person rides. What happened to the first part on the way return? Still great, cant wait for a ride during the day.
Is it just me that would like to see a passenger count in the corner so we can see how busy the lines are and in particular which parts are more/less used.
I only now noticed that your trams don't have lights at the front. Seems a bit dangerous. Though at 12:17 it looks like there is a light with limited reach and pointed much too high?
Is there really no way you can psot a list of the assets/mods used for this insane builds? I'm sure there must be some easy way even just with a simple python script to write down in a .txt file all the amazing assets you have installed for this. Incredible series my man, wish I could have even just a 10th of your astounding skill and vision in this game.
It is increadibly amazing! It makes me very sad to see those great serieses of the only good Cities Skylines to come to an end slowly. CS II is still not as good, as the original. It's so sad.
The abrupt transition to the industrial zone was something straight from movie. Amazing city!
This looked so good, that I expected the driver of first opposing tram to wave at us 😄
5:16 Some true Coruscant vibes, awesome
Thanks a lot for this amazing project, I really enjoyed watching it!
Thank you :)
You can even see Aurebesh on one of the signs!
I'm ur 69th like 😀
I love it! So sad that it's over
Nothing could have prepared me for how beautiful the bridge is in first person

Wow. Just wow. The Night City Cyberpunk vibes... good job.
I wish Cyberpunk looked like this. If only someone can create maps like this and port them over to other games.
Downright ridiculous. I’ve watched the whole vid with the open mouth, like a small child, because this is impressive on another level. I’ve been following this build since the very first episodes and seeing all of this come to life is simply beautiful. Thank you my man

This city's transit system and walkability is so good, barely anyone is chosing to drive a car.
One of the best build ever made on YT, the night setting made it even better
Incredibly beautiful build! Love all the details!
I've watched you build this entire city and yet was completely blown away watching it in first person. Like seeing it all for the first time. Unbelievable work, as always.
What an amazing build! I’m so glad that I had the chance to see it grow from the beginning. Thank you so much for this experience!

Wow. It was worth all the time spent. Quite a beautiful city.
Really enjoyed the city tour! Best cs2 city in my opinion. Please upload more video tours like these. Thanks
I think the way you've been able to play with different ground heights revealing all the layers really makes it feel like a maze. One might say it's a-maze-ing!
I don't realistically see any project coming close to this in a city builder ever. This is immensely impressive and I've thoroughly enjoyed the entire series.
One project that was close to this was Fluxtrance's Avalon City, although he never get to finish it.
@@pashauzan I remember watching it. It would have been amazing to view the finished project, but Flux disappeared sadly :(
@@KeiwaM Right? And another is citywokcitywall's Mars, also didn't get finished
On a completly different style there is Atys's Eos World but he only uploads a couple of video in a year, the builds look insane tho.
@@yapod9061 Oh yeah I like his Asteria city
Wow a few people actually got out of the way of the train this time!
Love it. Though I gotta admit, the tunnel before Villa Beach felt very narrow with the central pillars...
I loved every second of this masterspiece being built!!
When the tram turned from the space elevator to the skyline at around 1:35, just wow. And then the industrial area turned out looking really good too around 9:30. My favorite shot overall has to be the one around 13:05 though, with the towers looming above the busy cyberpunk looking pedestrian street. Asturis turned out really incredible.

Soo amazing work! I love how take care of your details and the structures. Everithing is so imaginable...i can almost smell and feel it....
Awesome ride. There is one moment when you turn and see the Cathedral Avenue... It is breath.taking
Incredible detail wow! I still am learning how to do that, I guess I am not as creative as I thought LOL.
Crazy beautiful, such stunning night view of your city 😍😍😍
This is my first time seeing this city, How on earth does it look so good! I've been trying to make futuristic cities but can never seem to figure it out. Terrifically done!!

Incredible, it’s so cool seeing and remembering this things I saw you build so long ago. It’s even giving me nostalgia 😂
Wow, what a beautiful, vibrant, 'realistic' city. I'm in awe!
insane city bro, might be one of the best builds cities skylines has seen
I thought it was strange at first that the people wore such old fashioned looking clothing, in such a futuristic city. But then, after seeing it a night like this I realized that it is future *noir.* Like Blade Runner. The scar area feels very Blade Runner, with the fire and smoke.

i LOVE the holographic cherry blossom trees!
Bro, with your skill and mastery of this game you could create a wicked rendition of Gotham or Springfield or something - if adaptations like that were your thing.
Asturis giving me real Blade Runner / Neo Gotham vibes fr
Wonderful. The moment it enters the plaza is so wonderful.
Gives me heartbeat and goosepimps - Great
just amazing man, so much respect
Downtown is giving...Coruscant. I love it.
Very immersive and breathtaking at times, great job!
Just wow!
I put on some Patlabor music and together with this Great Video It was like I was right in Asturis
You really did a great job, it absolutely paid off!!
Since CS2 launch was a bit..."rough"
Are you planning to start another project in CS2, only focus on Altengrad, or do a new project in the old cities skylines
Thanks for the journey Akruas! Here's for the countless hours of relaxing entertainment from just this project
Thank you very much, I really appreciate it :)
DAMNNNNNN trully amazing what you did with this game, congrats
8:00 clearance? Who needs it anyways ;)
I feel the city deserved all the time spent on building for you, and I still remember the episode when you were just preparing the map
It turned out to be absolutely the best... Change my mind!
Looks fantastic! It's really on street level like this you appreciate all the detail the city has.
1:59 Bro why's the father suddenly start T Posing 😂
This is incredible. Great work on the audio side as well!
This video offers views that will be very hard to top. This might be your master piece Akruas.
This city is so beautiful and I love all of the vibrant colours - so jealous I can’t actually live in Asturis
one of my favourite builds ever in CS
That is a city where stories are born!
Simply incredible
Very good work! Especially with sounds 😁
Such a lovely city. Great to see from ground level.
Will you be making a transit overview video like you did with Aurelia?
This! Very much.
It is really nice to see the city completely finished...great job!
11:27 damnnn that kid casually went to backroom
Absolutely amazing work! Such a beautiful and stunning city. So great to see it through this tram ride.
just wow
Incredible work !
For anyone wanting to know the song starting at about 5:00 it's Verite by Sully

well miss it
this is so nice looking
Absolutely Gorgeus
It's amazing. Though real shame there isn't a way to record 360 videos in CS
The audio is just so amazing and soothing
the city vibes is crazy, from suburb to downtown area, then it's going to industries sides
Amazing build! What kind of ray tracing are you using? RTGI 0.4/0.5? SSR? Depth of field distance? (Default 1000 or custom? Can't find the right depth of field..)I'm also working with reshade but i'm having trouble to make it look so clear/without noise
Listening to Tangerine Dream and watching perfect video. Thank you very much!
The sound of the tram is exactly the same as the one in my city (Siemens Combino Perugia 400)
Lol love the ISEV from Ace Combat 7
Edit: Eeeeeey that's the Bow Tower at 13:45 on the left!
Amazing video , I think it would add a lot if you do a voice over these first person rides
Truly jaw-dropping! Asturis is definitely one the all-time best CS1 creations
But how come you didn't film the entire return journey?
fyi looks great on my Quest 3. Meta browser, TH-cam Full screen 4k !!!. The virtual screen is about 2.5 to 3 m diagonal making this feel like life size. Laurie NZ
I'm waiting for a solar punk theme city
how on earth do you have such high framerate in such a large city? Does the FPC mod like render it out instead of it being recorded in real time?
I think that Akruas uses the good old technique and records the material at a reduced game speed (up to 10%?), and then speeds up the material x6-10 in post-processing
5:04 to be honest, I didn’t expect to see the logo of the Qirex team from Wipeout)
Love the level of details on the first person rides. What happened to the first part on the way return? Still great, cant wait for a ride during the day.
simply spectacular 👏🏻
amazing
Is it just me that would like to see a passenger count in the corner so we can see how busy the lines are and in particular which parts are more/less used.
Thoughts on a GTA / Cyberpunk like game with this city? The Details look amazing. Great work!
I only now noticed that your trams don't have lights at the front. Seems a bit dangerous. Though at 12:17 it looks like there is a light with limited reach and pointed much too high?
And it's so perfomant too
Is there really no way you can psot a list of the assets/mods used for this insane builds? I'm sure there must be some easy way even just with a simple python script to write down in a .txt file all the amazing assets you have installed for this. Incredible series my man, wish I could have even just a 10th of your astounding skill and vision in this game.
I wish my WiFi could carry 1080
stunning city!!
It is increadibly amazing! It makes me very sad to see those great serieses of the only good Cities Skylines to come to an end slowly. CS II is still not as good, as the original. It's so sad.
I wish there was a quick way to converting the city into a 3d model and printing it, or using it as the setting for a videogame
crazy level good
Amazing as always!
Can you create day verison, please.
How do you make POs glow at night? For me they just turn off the glow. What am I doing wrong?
Loving these globalist future builds. You nail it.
Great city!
