Now city skylines has tunnels
And night
***** Are you stupid?
+Funnystein
it has.
the hat yes i know
no lol youre possessed by demons
Nowadays skylines has tunnels, night time and if you arent playing on a fucking carrot, good graphics.
also there is tourism specialization and leisure specialization if you get the expansoin pack
xD
+jerrylittlemars yes and Winter
ukkomies100
Actually, most carrots run the game pretty well. It's potatoes that aren't so good: most crash on startup, or have an extremely low frame rate (between 5 and 15 fps on average)
ummm, what are "carrots" and "potatoes"? And why do I have this craving for pot roast?
MOST of the negative things about skylines have been added/fixed after the video
ikr
So which cities skylines should I get then?
Brad S get the basic game and all the add on dude. Don’t be cheap.
@@MarioRodriguez-pd6lp how is that being cheap
2kaeyla experience the whole thing. You will be missing so much
2015
Cities Skylines = SimCity 2013
2019
Cities Skylines > SimCity 2013
2019
Cities Skylines: live - SimCity 2013: dead
oooh i see
CS >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SimCity 2013
I have a disk for simcity with the expansion pack and I don’t know what to do with it
@@afrenchy7718 welp... You can slice a bun with it...
Cities Skylines has changed a LOT since this video, please don't go off this when deciding which game to go with! Almost all features listed that cities skylines doesn't have, it now has, and things like graphics on Cities Skylines are very good. I prefer cities skylines greatly over sim city, although both games have their charm, and I would like to see the possibility of expanding individual buildings.
they both have a very "model" feel to them, however the graphical fidelity is simply better in Sim city compared to un-modded Cities skyline. that arrives simply from the fact that cities are smaller in sim city and therefore not as demanding.
however a modular system for building, like in sim city, can be very preferable at times instead of juggling with funding and new buildings.
if your income is tight and you lack something like police or fire controll then you can either increase budget or build a new station.
this provides a few possible scenarios.
if you only lack a few police cars etc. then putting up the budget would be the best solution. however every building you build later will have the increased cost. this means that for every few buildings needed you would have to juggle your funding down to normal levels and build adequate buildings to prevent a lack fo service.
you can also simply build a new police station. then however you will have a lot of service potential wasted and funds wasted.
combining a mudlar system like sim city with the complex system from cities skyline could create something very interesting and with a lot of potential.
Captain Capellini Fuckin shut up! Let others decide what they want! I hate Cities Skylines, so what? Who cares? No one cares what you prefer! Fuck off
Tóth Ede Well they need to know which game is better to buy it, so your comment is pretty pointless
Captain Capellini What I love about simcity is the GUI and the wuantity of map types you can see.
Let's be honest. No one should ever have to make a decision about which to play. Simcity 2013 is possibly the worst game I own, and Skylines is possibly the best.
As an owner of both Cities Skylines and Sim City 2013 I won't be telling you which one is "better" but, spoiler alert: Cities Skylines is better.
+musicalaviator I am a owner of both too. I would still say the SimCity is much more polished and it looks lovely.
Cities Skylines looks great too, but it's lacks the polish that SimCity has, for obvious reasons. SimCity has been doing this longer.
i find Skylines a more in depth game as far as gameplay is concerned. The massive mod community is also a big plus.
out of the box, Skylines still had a better gameplay, but Sim City did have a more realistic looking graphics and style to it.
But a 50km sq area to play in (mod needed to unlock all of it admittedly) from Skylines just blows Sim Hamlet's tiny square out of the water, ocean and sky.
+musicalaviator CS doesn't have modular buildings. Even Anno 2205 has them.
+musicalaviator so do I need consistent internet access for Cities Skylines??... because I couldn't hear the last part
+dewin hernandez Nope. Skylines was one of my fallback games when my ISP broke my internet for 3 weeks. Just had to start up Steam in offline mode and happy hours of offline time awaited. Save games and Mods saved prior to dropping offline work as if you were online.
You should re-do this video. Cities Skylines now has:
-Tunnels
-Day/night cycle
-Tourism
-Dynamic weather
-Terraforming
what u mean? so they updated the game? so if I get the game now it will have that stuff?
@@Eastbaypisces yes, they added a LOT of new stuff
And more
What about City Management in City Skylines..
@@Eastbaypisces Important things will be added free.
lol City Skylines has fixed almost all your complaints, time for a new video?
Especially since this video was made a few months or even a month after cities skylines was first released
cemops where can I play this game?
Peter Merrigan just torrent it if you can’t afford it.
Yeo
I'm always making suggestions 😉
Most of the stuff missing in Cities Skylines is in it now. Tunnels, day-night cycle, tourism, and pretty soon dynamic weather.
+Xipo86 That's what he meant by 'dynamic weather'.
+Darth Apples Dude, there are two things of DLC and when this video came out the was no DLC. Cities Skylines has all of the things he stated in this video without DLC
You forgot most important. Multiplayer!!
I have some of those in my version right now
+Darth Apples Compared to Cities XL i also miss the economy table to control the cities ressources and trading. But this still exists, its just in the background. I hope they will implement this feauture soon.
Cities Skyline beats Simcity 2013 without a doubt
***** Yea they did but look how shit Simcity 5 turned out to be
AirFlow well the only thing I see simcity 2013 is better is you can modify buildings such as in an elementary school: you can add extra classes, busses, you can add a sign, a flag. You know what I'm sayan?
Burne.Skull Yes I've played some of Simcity 5 but Skylines can have that too with mods and create your own shit
AirFlow well maybe, but still I dont have a good pc yet and the games lag and I cant play cities skylines so I watch cities skylines youtube videos and why dont they have those mods?
Well cities skylines made 2015 simcity 2013 that is a 2 year difference in technology.also simcity 2013 sucks so cities skylines is pretty much simcity 4 with better graphics.
1:28 was this necessary
Ummmm yes
They just meant that SimCity is just like a penis. CS is the better game.
THAT IS A DICK
Extremely
Time Walker why....are you saying that SC gave birth to CS?....bc it kinda did
Like: City Skylines
Comment: SimCity
No one commented!😁PS:I Like cs more
piss off with this like comment bullshit, no one cares.
@@TheZeyon apparently 12 people do
Gg
Oof
Cities Skylines DOES have tunnels.
Edit: This video came out before that feature was added, so this comment is basically irrelevant. It just punctuates Cities Skylines superiority.
+KidView Not when he released the video
+KidView that was a later patch/update
+KidView All the bad things said about skylines have now been fixed/upgraded, can simcity say the same?
+Johnny West Or otherwise said.
The people that made Skylines want to improve it.
The people that made simcity, not so much.
+Londronable Has EA forgotten about SimCity? It hasn't had anything done to it in ages.
Should I stop playing SimCity and start CS?
In my opinion, I think both games are fun. Just play which ever game you think you'd enjoy more :D
Yeah thanks. Wich did you prefer, SimCity or Cities Skylines?
Rodrigo Pecoits I'm leaning more towards Skyline because of the modding capabilities and road works.
Rodrigo Pecoits cities skylines best city building game i ever played...
Abhinav Raj Yeah, I'm really thinking in changing games
You don't talk about public transport!
SimCity:
Sh*t! No routes for vehicles and they going to nearest stop.
C:S:
Improved system, line making, metro and much more!
true
Not to mention Mass Transit DLC for C:S
pt in simcity is imo better
Mass Transit DLC is the best. Definitely adds $12 to the experience.
2:29 saying how good cities skylines traffic is as a car phases through another.. Jk cities skylines is an absolute amazing game.
city skylines makes simcity look like shit.
+TheChildhoodRuiner15 : I like your name...
Dr Theisen thanks
Simcity 5 makes Simecity 5 look like shit. Basically because it is really fucked up shit. No need for Skylines for that!
+ZildSteve I thought it came out 2014
I play both.
redo this
cities skylines is very different now
ale haim, and simcity is outdated
Cities skylines has night now.
You should replace "different" with "improved".
Skylines is still broken
Squid-force exactly, you can't build a city in skylines, only paint one. It's like a glorified blender for cities. You plop all your placeholder game assets and viola a city minus the gameplay or an organically grown town
Interesting to watch 5 years later and see how much C:S has not only closed all the gaps, but grown far beyond. I love city building games, and I'm very glad to have graduated to C:S.
SimCity 3000 is still one of my favorite games of all time
Playing skylines on low settings - tell everybody there is shitty graphic ;D
+MegaMapper plays a game which has the main point of being a simulation of a complex (eco-socio-)system, complains about the only thing that almost needlessly draws the most processing power from the main point of the game :-D :-D
Sim city
Might want to turn the graphics up then.
+MegaMapper No, that's actually how Skylines looks despite the settings.
Luis Miclat sim city only looks like a child's game when the graphics are low if u put every thing on high and ultra the graphics looks amazing and realistic but the only down fall is your game will run extremely choppy and slow
Now we have tunnels in CS
We have a lot more things in cs now
+Mr Sham Mods make community ideas real, so that is the reson why CS is one of the best simulation games ever
You know that the developers of Sim City stoped working on the game, and there wont be any more updates or new things?
+Choli Zaragoza very true
what? Their office closed man.. I even contact EA to know when they plan to release the next one and they told me it will never happen, the franchise is dead
crazy how obsolete this video became, not because its a bad video but because pretty much all of the crituqes of skylines in this video have either been completely fixed or changed because of either DLC or mods. Skylines is hands down the way to go
that is a comparison based on both official release state in general not with the mods.
1:28 Masterpiece right there.
@Terique Bernard it is not, i have one
Just to mention, Most of the shortcomings you mention for Skylines have been addressed in updates and expantions.
Derelict Friend oh and by mods as well
yeah but he said the vanilla game so also no dlc i think
Cities Skylines is so superior to SimCity it is like comparing the Beatles and Justin Bieber.
+MrAflac9916 SimCity is made in 2013 and in 2015 Citiesc skylens it is probably clear that it will be better graphics in Cities skylens
+Crazy Gaming nothing to do with graphics
+Crazy Gaming ugghh yet again someone who calls himself a gamer but only looks at the graphics.. This comparison is not about graphics and if so i would even say that simcity looks a tiny bit better.. BUT its about the gameplay and by that cities skylines beats simcity by the thousands
Hmm, the similarities. Justin Bieber and simcity walk hand-in-hand. Justin Bieber was also someone who had talent, a big following, but then was found by a great company that made him bigger, so bi that it became a sell-out, and to the community's suprise flip the script to become an asshole. EA-games you will look back at this and laugh as you enter comedy centrals roast in a few years. Be very afraid.
no, its like comparing Roller coaster tycoon world to planet coaster
So, it seems that as much as I have a nostalgic love for SimCity (from the olden days) EA has, well, been EA and not kept up to speed with their competition. The lack of graphics and music in CS is a compromise I'm willing to take in favor of a better developed/matured game play. The Agent system & mod community was a big factor/win for CS for me. So, this is now where I buy the game and never see light for 6 months. Hope my Boss understands. Thanks AsilksWorld!
For a 2013 game, I gotta say SimCity has some nice graphics
I have both and I recommend having cities skylines
RareGamer8115 i agree
same
Same i also have both
Yeah i have both and cs is best
+RareGamer8115 I also have both and prefer Simcity.
Cities skylines probably one of my most favorite games ever
The only thing that makes me sad about cities skylines is the fact that it doesn’t have multiplayer like simcity have.
A game with city specialization AND multiplayer + all the game options and possibilities and a HUGE map like Skylines have would have my money not even thinking twice.
Multiplayer was part of what killed Simcity.
@@fantheorycentral1771 I’m pretty sure what “killed” SimCity was EA terribly high pricing, the game has a lot of problems with crashing. You spend hours and hours of design and then suddenly, game stops working.
You cannot save or anything. You can only turn off your pc manually. That is what killed SimCity.
And that’s why I bought Cities Skylines on a console instead of pc. Viola! I never experienced a single crash since.
It would be interesting if you made an updated version of this vid to see what changes happened to both games over the years.
cities skylines is far superior but i wish it had the modules for individual buildings
0:23
Long answer: Watch the video
Short anwer: Cities Skylines is better
Prokop0223 they all say sim city but never sim shitty... Lyk if u cri everitym
What even is the meaning of putting that there
I'm your 100th like
Stay entitled to your opinion but in my opinion Simcity 5 is better just for fact that the only thing I do Simcity and cities skylines is use disasters that's the only reason I bought both games then I realised you buy disasters as dlc which is a waste of £12 especially since Simcity comes with disasters for free.
Note I'm not hating cities skylines I mean I have played it but still they could have made disasters free and making me an extra £12 which is an inconvenience.
And congrats if you made this far without being bored by my opinion.
Feel free to criticise my opinion if you wish.
All the downsides to city skylines have been added in the present day
Bob likes skylines more in nearly every factor except for the utilities in which he finds the modular system to be very cool.
I agree with you
1:28 I understood that you are a creative artist
a mature artist indeed
Things that have changed with Cities Skylines since this video.... Skylines now has road tunnels. After that they added a European pack, consisting of European styled commercial, residential, and services type buildings, all for free. It also has Day and Night cycles which was a free part of their new expansion titled After Dark, which when purchased added prison complex, more leisure options, and buildings. Now with the Snowfall expansion we are getting fucking snow for free, and a tram service and some other new stuff when we pay.
+LilTRoberts1000 Also tourism is a thing for a long as I can remember. "Visitors" is what represents it.
+LilTRoberts1000 Yup. After Dark really focused on the tourism. You can have nightclubs, taxis, and pretty much, try and recreate a real city in a lesser way for more tourism, compared to Simcity. Who the hell said that the Washington Monument is next to the Eiffel Tower?
Wow I remember when sim city was the best.
Cities: Skylines now have tunnels actually.
Keg Indeed, it made many parts of city much better. Especially transporting goods from one district to another.
John Marcera Can you build tunnels through mountains?
Robbie Wales Yes, I think.
John MarceraTheir tunnel system is fantastic!
+Robbie Wales sure.
Skylines content + simcity 2013 tools, electricity and water system + simcity 4 population and regional system would be the ultimate city building game without question
100% if only cities skylines 2 (or simcity 6) exist
and even if they will exist they probably wont have all of that
Not to mention the mods are what makes Skylines a winner in my book. The community is so great.
Omfg I bought sim city for 40 quid and no one told me that cs was thing. All that time I spent on sim city that could've been on skylines. RIP.
+I Blame Labour Change over I guess, I build on Minecraft, this I enjoy much more and find more rewarding and impressive, those type games feel meaningless to me, just not my kind of thing, although, that crazy roller coaster game looked fun, of the same ilk.
+The Anti-Theist minecraft is completely fucking different to a city builder lmao
Just Dumber Which is why it is completely different.
That happened to me too. But I eventually bought cities: skylines while it was on sale.
+I Blame Labour Same
One more thing
Skyline: $30
SimCity: $60
30Simline
No wait what was I even
Tommy That's a good point.
Tommy Simcity is actually $30 now.
I payed 79,95€ for pre-order deluxe and 29,95€ cities of tomorrow. Simcity is now old and it still costs same or more than cities skylines. Cities of tomorrow cost same as Cities skylines. :D
Herbertti O_o That's so expensive... EU taxation?
Sim city is $13 now. $20 for complete edition.
I used to play SimCity Classic back in the 90´s a lot as a kid, do you think I can adapt to the newest versions? I have some free time because of the quarenteen and I don´t know what to do
Its like a Medium Wage dad gets a son that has High wage in the future... SO PEACEFUL
Knowing how Paradox works : add-on will be there soon, and more things will be added. :D
Hopefully so. :)
***** They need to pump up the graphics and level of details!! other than that is a fun game to play.
AsilksWorld Heard that tunnels will be added too.
LegendMeadow Got added in update 1.1 :D
***** You called it.
SimCity used to be fantastic, but EA fucked up with simcity 5, and the sims 4 too. They made wrong things, thats why Maxis closed
Gonza97 well,this reason is only 5% right,where are other 95%?ask Cities skyline,they made it
***** im not saying that those games are bad, they are just good, just ok, not amazing like the old ones
***** is not nostalgia, i like the sims 4 and simcity 5 too, but they are not superior to previous games, make a comparative with this two games and the old ones
***** :)
***** i'm asking me the same question, but i think they closed
What happened to the updated version? It says it's unavailable.
What happened to the updated version of this video? YOur like says its unavailable.
he began with saying this wasn't a comparison, but in the end, he clearly stated that it was
Now in 2016 i think you can say that City Skylines is more of a simulation while Sim City is more of a game to have fun with, if you get what I mean.
flops031 i agree if city size was bigger Sim City would have gotten better response.
XquisiteGDR I don't think that's what he meant.
welp i already think its good enough
What I don't get is ur profile picture
Just like all sims games
I love how almost all of the problems you mention with Skylines are now fix or added.
loved that this was really in-depth. Cheers!
the perfect city builder would be a baby between these 2 AND tropico 5
+DJ Jesus.He Died for your spins That is so true!
Simcity is like the abusive alcoholic father who never stuck around very long, and cities skylines is that hardworking single mom, and tropico is the step dad who is not perfect, but he is a pretty Ok guy.
+DJ Jesus.He Died for your spins Dude, I love your name
+dawson nasee
Damn you had an interesting childhood to say the least.
+DJ Jesus.He Died for your spins cities simtropic?
you can get 80 tiles with mods
Nope, only 25.
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=576327847&searchtext=81+tiles it's actually 81 tiles
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=576327847&searchtext=81+tiles it's actually 81 tiles
steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=576327847&searchtext=81+tiles it's actually 81 tiles
Can you tell me how many tiles again please?
As an owner of both games, I can safely assume that
Simcity 2013 = For people that want fun games, and want to play together
Cities Skylines = For the more advanced people/modders
Why am I watching this, I was not even planning on getting either of these
Oof
Lol neither was I. I ended up buying it a couple months back watching a creator vid about cities skylines lol
lol same
Cities: Skylines is better because they have added tunnels, added a disaster DLC pack, and the steam workshop provides so many mods you will never get bored for a WHILE. I really recommend Cities: Skylines as I own both games and the pros in Cities far outweighs the cons.
But simcity also has disasters
That’s true and in SimCity buildit you can do the disasters without paying any real money at all
But simply simcity update Pc also have!
Skylines recently blew Simcity out of the water with its new expansion pack, "After Dark".
+Broncosdude 18 simcity is hitting the right thing,something that we ALL want.ONLINE PLAYING
+Alex Anderson I got bored of SC easily. Skylines is the shit
Jared Lyon It's expansion pack of things that should of been in the base game
your link to the updated video no longer exists, may wanna fix that.
"I bury them in my backyard". Ha! You're funny, son.
cities skyline have tunnels now
+Benjamin Tomassen Nordahl with the new dlc to cities skylines tourism gets important
Yes
last bastion of simsity diehards die off
And you literally recorded Skylines with texture quality on Low and level of detail on medium.
Skyline Players: *Builds a flipping 1 way road*
Simcity Players: *Literally builds a supervillain base*
Ok

downloaded normal city skylines from steam in windows 10 will it still work? for some reason it doesnt cause my pc always runs out of memory even doe i have to right specs
There's tunnels in Cities Skylines
And night time
ThisCreativeName New Expansion?
and tourism districts
and nighttime
xOmnium IKR
SKYLINES AFTER DARK JUST FIXED VERYTHING!
Tbh you said in early of the video, which game is the best. In the thumbnail I see city skylines vs sim city, I'm confuse!!?
The only thing I miss from Simcity now that I've switched to C:S is the ploppable building expansion thing that Simcity has (shown with the firehouse and city hall in this video). It really added more of a customizable feel to your important buildings as well as making things more unique (plus the ability to have more models). Of course, for C:S, you could always just download more building models from the Steam Workshop, so it's nearly moot.
PSA: A lot of the missing features (tunnels, night time, etc) have been added to the game. The additions are pretty shallow though unless you purchase the DLC (just grab it all when its on sale during a steam sale).
I'm surprised there is even a comparison against skyline on which to buy. I played both, it's skylines hands down.Even before they had tunnels, day night cycles, and a shitload of transportation options. My simcity cities were tiny! They should really call it simtown or simvillage.
C:S looks amazing with textures and luts I bet there aren’t any of those for simcity
1:28 that’s just such a great way to show how to build roads you know.
What I want with C:S is the community. It's very vibrant and positive, not to mention their CEO's and staffs, they're very friendly and responsive.
Paolo Ibayan because they care about the game not the money.
Rory Gordon what do you expect? Simcity 2013 made by EA compared to the Simcity 4 where Maxis made it,EA only focus on the money,not the heart of the game.Fucking EA destroyed many good games...
I know its awful. But EA tells the game makers to make loads of money and then gets pissed of when the game isnt good and fails.
+Rory Gordon Incredibly true now Maxis main studio emmerville has been shut down even though EA's Stupid DRM is what killed maxis' games and lost them sales EA logic- if our DRM policy dosent work with the company's game then...shut them down
Let me, I own both, I have 364 hours and counting on city skylines, and on sim city I have 2
I played Simcity 5 for about 100 hours before CTS was released. I give Simcity a solid 0/10.
I played SimCity near of 6 hours. Meanwhile, I played Cities Skylines for 468 hours! I definitely recommend CS!
Cities skylines is addictive whereas simcity I would highly recommended to delete and then download cities skylines
If I say that I hate CTS, I think you guys will kill me :v
Renato Yuji Ishikawa de Moura we won't but we'll call you a very very idiotic dumbfuck
Where those curb tools in road making ? I did not found that in simcity & city skyline games , so where is it ????
Few years later: Skyline has night, tunnels, tourism mods, graphic mods... pretty much all the complaints can be fixed with mods and new DLCs
All of them are now in the vanilla version of the game
That last jab... tears of joy.
Sim City loses frankly because Cities: Skylines has mods and a huge modding community. So no amount of expansions can bring Sim City ahead, the only perk it has is multiplayer but with mods? Who knows that can already be a thing.
I've seen lengthy LPs of Sim City and it doesnt' have the same depth or staying power. Even Lazy Game Reviews, a guy who owns every copy variant of every Sim City says the newest one is just disappointing, Skylines comes out later at half the cost and no online DRM and crushes Sim City.
I wish Sim City was better, the multiplayer would have been a great option but they dropped the ball and just about any Sim City before it is superior never the less Cities.
+Snotnarok I expect they will make a mod or patch in CS later, though idk how it will work. ive thought about it and it would be hard to play multipayer.
+Dylan R Even if it has delays, it'd be similar to Sim City 5. The Multiplayer in that title wasn't instant so, I'm sure whatever mod happens along will be workable enough.
Simcity have mods
*****
There may be mod, or maybe it'll be included in a sequel. But fair enough.
Snotnarok the always online DRM of simcity was the only reason why it had multiplayer
Simcity has fun looking graphics
You Mean City Skylines.
So does CS. If you've ever seen the youtubers who build cities using graphics mods, many of the shots from those youtubers can almost look like real life. (ex: two dollars twenty, he makes amazing CS cities)
@@bro1678 I think O S Raikar means "fun and gamey looking" graphics, not realistic. There's a difference
@@simcitygraphertv6967 Hm, didn't really notice that. Thanks.
@@bro1678 Simcity have many unique building model. CS building look more realistic but seems boring for me
4:37 he buries his bodies in the backyard
Who doesen't?
City Skylines now has night time and tunnels
That ending bit. Just wow.
Finally, an honest comparison this is helpful! I liked seeing it from both sides.
Update: On October 28 I got Simcity, I'll have to see.
Update: I love the game inspite traffic. I can't wait to afford Cities: Skylines, and ty it.
Also...
Corrections: 2:-- Use built-in shortcuts to adjust this: [Ctrl] + [Alt] + W adds $5K to your hourly wages If you do this, but don't press Ctrl, it adjusts how much money you have to spend by $100K. Both methods require sandbox mode, which is like regular mode, except you have the keyboard shortcuts and they give a million Simoleons.
Funny moments:.
2:54 "I'm looking at you, China" LOL
4:37 I"I bury my body's in my backyard **clears throat** " LOLTaatic!
Damn, they both have features I really like.
Now we just need cities skylines vs. SimCity 4. I personally think Simcity 4 would win. Simcity 4 has 1,000's more mods, larger maps, better music, more buildings, better graphics, more services, a day and night cycle, better terraforming. Cities skylines may be 3D and it may be 12 years newer but it still doesn't beat SC4.
CaptainCrape Well, thats because Cities: Skylines was made in the Unity engine, I don't know, maybe Cities: Skylines 2 would be made in a custom and/or engine.
SimCity 4 has also been out for much longer
CaptainCrape It's official, the maps of Cities: Skylines are actually bigger then in SimCity 4.
***** Go check again. You're wrong.
Jaime Valladares
"So with the 25 tile mod in Cities skylines you can make cities slightly larger than the biggest city maps in SC4."
-Reddit
Owned Sim City. Got Cities:Skylines and never thought about Sim City again.
3:59 anyone notice that he put contolled instead of controlled?
The "Watch the Update Version" annotation leads to a video which is unavailable.
I enjoyed both games but for different reasons. I would say if you have a vision of a very specific city in mind and you enjoy tons of creative control than Cities Skylines is definitely for you. However I thoroughly enjoy the competitive aspect of Sim City, I like that the game presents me with constraints and challenges that maintain my interest over time where I find the late game in Cities Skylines mainly becomes a bit boring once you reach a certain population. I'm not saying they are equal, I would definitively say Cities is a more well rounded and well produced game, but I don't hate Sim City like a lot of other people do, I just enjoy it for different reasons. I wish they would combine some of the aspects of Sim City into Cities Skylines.
Richard Powell
yeah the End game can be a bit annoying, at around 100k people you just do the same things over and over again.
Thats why i stopped 3 times there :P
What about map size?? one of my biggest problems with simcity was the size of the maps being ridiculously small.
The only thing I dislike about Cities:Skylines is the way buildings work. In SimCity you plop down a school, and then gradually customize it and expand it as the need for education grows. Same goes for each ploppable building. You also have production chains there - an Ore Mine produces ore, you need a depot to store it, you need a smelter to turn it into steel or alloy, you need a factory to make that into televisions, etc.
Cities Skylines on the other hand...well...you plop down a school and...that's it. It just sits there, making the houses more educated in the background. Where's the crowd of students coming and going to it? Where are the extra expansion rooms? Why aren't there any production chains whatsoever? Sure, I can set a district as a mining district, and it just...sort of...becomes one, and that's it. Mining-related buildings show up all by themselves and they just sit there, doing "mining". But it is completely inconsequential - it's basically a reskin of the normal industrial zone. Also it doesn't matter of there are any ore deposits nearby - if there aren't then the raw materials needed by the buildings are brought via trucks.
The "cities" in SimCity feel like actual living cities...or more like tiny villages at least. There's stuff to do in them. The cities in Cities:Skylines are static.
Regarding the school part, there is now Campus DLC. If you want similar thing to parks and industry, there are DLCs for those too (Parklife and Industries, respectively).
One game is lead by a company that doesn’t give a shit about its player and the other actually listens and incorporates its community’s ideas and mods.
Heyy,
So I can't really decide which Game to choose... I really like the upgrades of each of the houses/utilities and i also like the extension pack Cities of tomorrow and the graphics from SimCity2013. On the other Hand I reall y like the more "open world" type , of City: Skyline
Which Game would you suggest is right for me?
Thanks
Or should I wait for the next SimCity? :O
+Juli Vogt The creator of Simcity were completely shut down by EA, so there will be no Simcity 6 not will there be any updates for 5. I would get skylines.
Oh really? :O Damn .. Cities of tomorrow was looking pretty sweet ..
Does Cities: Skylines have Spacestation, universities and other things like SimCity4 Deluxe Rdition does?
Juli Vogt Simcity was deeply flawed and racked with problems. Poor support from the developers and now there is none. Very limited gameplay, and rather than expanding upon city building like the previous title, it shrank everything and "simplified" it for reason which simcity fans still can't fathom. Still, I do miss it. It had a charm which Skylines seems to lack. However, Skylines is a vastly more in depth game and works excellently; a far superior title. However I find myself sorely miss the building expansions that Simcity had, the atmosphere and the music.

You should do this again but with the new versions. It would be very amazing to see what you think of it.
city skyline all the way
First, I would like to applaud your presenting skills. I enjoyed how you presented the information in this video without having a biased view. It was clear, and to the point. Second, I think I am now going to buy Cities Skylines. I love building games, and I like the highways, and bridges in Cities Skylines.
So my cites skylines hasn't been working on my PC for 4+ months, and I'm considering getting it on xbone but before I do can anyone tell me how good it plays in comparison with the PC version?
During unlockables, you forgot to mention that in Sim City, the University and The Academy (with expansion) can research projects such as a space station or more power plants.
