Yes, with the exception of utility/emergency vehicles, which can still use them.

If performance looks interesting for older CPUs, I will break out my insane collection of older CPUs and make some charts. Supposedly the game is much more thread aware than CS1, so might be some interesting results.

Some sort of transportation DLC including bikes seems guaranteed. Parks DLC. Something to flesh out the industries, every previewer's consensus seems to be the idea is good but the implementation sucks. Campuses and airports if those were popular, who knows what the sales were like. I also expect packs that add a building theme and a bunch of assets for it. Japan for sure, tons of Japanese players. Korea maybe since they did one before. Anywhere that had a sizeable number of assets in the workshop seems ripe for it, I bet they've combed through that to see what people are interested in.

I haven't decided if my first city should be an attempt at no cars paradise or some kind of grinding American hellhole. The way demand works seems to push you very hard into making postwar US sprawl. I was excited about being able to force people into transit by denying them parking, but then I saw how many of the buildings come with parking that you can't get rid of that I dunno if that's doable. Also the sheer insanity that is the one base game passenger rail station.

I dunno, the mod and performance stuff has pretty well removed this from my "Buy Day 1" level of anticipation. How often does a game going to their own proprietary walled garden for mod distribution instead of Steam actually work out well for anyone? It generally just seems like a disaster in the waiting. Plus, my 3070 doesn't meet their recommended specs, and I'm not gonna build a new computer for a friggin city builder, so 'oh well', I suppose. I guess I'll circle back in a year or but probably the Great Wall Of Required-To-Have-A-Good-Time DLC will be high enough to deter me from buying it pretty fast if I'm not in on the ground floor and buying stuff as it comes out.

First DLC should introduce the ability to nuke other people's "cities". I have a weird fascination with building cities on very hostile terrain. So I'll wait for someone to release a mountain valley map.

Didn't someone say that the "recommended" specs are more like "recommended if you plan on building quite large cities and view them in 4k resolution"?

Why don't they just come right out and say "this game is targeted at the next gen consoles and you'll need a computer at least on par with them to play it"? The BS Corporatese is nauseatingly patronizing. This is their idea of transparency? Transparency would be directly saying "hey, this game we're going to charge you $400 for by the time it's all said and done, you need a pretty beefy rig to play it any further than about 20K pop."

My PC is way below recommended specs and I don't own a console, so, no, I am not. Not right away anyhow. In 10 years, maybe. Which is fine. There is no problem with making a game that you need cutting edge hardware to play. It's just the corporate weasel language they're couching it in that's just, ugh.

I'm looking forward to playing this but the performance stuff sounds dire. I'm sure I'll be fine-ish with a 3080ti but either way I'm glad I'll be able to play it on gamepass first so I don't have to pony up to buy it right now.

I've got a pretty good CPU but, since my monitor is 1080p, I haven't upgraded my GPU past a 2060. I'll be Gamepassing it and will report back here with my findings as far as performance goes

I find it deeply hilarious that some goons will make their stand 43 American dollars, despite the game being something they've waited for. I don't really know what is being shown by this, or to who, by waiting to buy it but saying you buy it eventually. Like basic math tells me that if you spend the same money now or then, you get more value by having it earlier? Buy the drat game. It'll run fine. And it'll look great going forward when your computers get better. Vahakyla fucked around with this message at 18:15 on Oct 17, 2023 |

Like basic math tells me that if you spend the same money now or then, you get more value by having it earlier? Not really. I don't expect I'll be able to play it much with the hardware I have, and a few years down the road when I finally do have adequate hardware I'll be able to get it much cheaper on sale. Come Summer Sale 2027 or whatever that 43 bucks will buy me the game plus $100 sticker price worth of DLCs. Plus preordering/day 1 buying any game based on hype alone is always ill advised, unless you're getting a seriously good extra value of some kind out of it. The downside to waiting a couple days to find out if the game is actually good or not is... what, not being one of the Cool Kids in the Day One club? e: I know I'm the weirdo here though, I hardly ever buy games new or at full price. There are more good games out there than I'll ever have time to play, so I've always been several years behind and happily buying everything at slashed prices. It's the advantage of not gaming socially at all, everything I play is perfectly new to me even though everyone else forgot about it 3 years before I started playing it Eric the Mauve fucked around with this message at 18:26 on Oct 17, 2023 |

Honestly, given that they're being open that it'll be challenging on performance they should probably drop a demo at launch so they don't scare off people they don't need to. It sounds like you'll be able to play fine if you drop a few settings.explosivo posted:I'm sure I'll be fine-ish with a 3080ti Oh you'll be totally fine, a 3080 was the recommended spec. It's the fact that recommended was so high that caused the whole kerfuffle, a relatively small % of PC gamers actually have that much, especially with the card crunch and price escalation.

I have no doubts that CS2 will be good and fine but I hope all goons exercise their "gamer rights" and not pre-order or buy it before independent reviews based on the final build comes out.
