I’ve been playing a ton of Cities Skylines II since its release a week ago. After building a 230k population archipelago I started playing around with the in game cinematic video tools and this is the result.

This is 100% in game footage and effects using the Photo Mode. Recorded using the Microsoft/Xbox Game Bar, only editing was to trim the start and end.

    The original didn’t run fine on my then low-mid range desktop when it came out. It’s heavily CPU-bound and I specifically upgraded to an i7 4790K at the time because even in a mid-sized city, the simulation would slow to realtime.

    It runs alright on today’s mediocre hardware, but that’s amazing hardware by 2014-2015ish standards.

      Well, depends on the other factors at play, but I had the original running on a low-end Athlon, and a GeForce 870m with only 2GB vram at the time on an old school HDD and it was stellar.
