Cities Skylines is without a doubt one of the very best city builders of all time. And from my recollection, the game was absolutely fantastic at launch and has only improved over the last nearly 10 years, with the countless updates and DLC that have expanded the game has received. And that got me thinking - was the game as good as launch as I recall it being or am I looking back with rose-tinted glasses?

In this video, we'll play the launch day version of Cities Skylines (1.0.5) in 2024 and see what is missing, as well as see how it compares to the launch of Cities Skylines 2. Enjoy!


Note: this version of the video is about 8 minutes longer than the version on YouTube because I show you step-by-step instructions on how to get old versions of CS1 working on your system. Let me know what you think about this inclusion and whether or not it should be in the YouTube version of the video.

I have uploaded this to Youtube as well for anyone who would prefer to see it there - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeJXVSC6C_0

It's amazing how memory can get "warped" and the "perceptions" change over time. CS1 did come out, what, 9 years ago now? There were quite a few "features" that weren't there. Tunnels, switching one way direction, BIKES, etc. CS2 wasn't perfect and we know that. But IMHO, it was superior to CS1. Broader, yes. More bugs yes. But superior. And CO did say that it was a NEW game from the ground up which is why you can't bring in CS1 saved games or maps into CS2. It's nice to see "evidence" that CS1 wasn't as perfect on day 1 as everything "seems to think."

Interesting experiment! Still looking for the video on YT, though...

Sorry about that! It’ll come out tomorrow morning. It’s basically the same video, with the demo cut out. After the logo it starts at the CS1 menu

I think the 8 min might be interesting for some people, but others just won't really care. Perhaps a note on the timestamp on where to skip ahead?

No prob, just I prefer streaming to my TV, can't get Vimeo to do that... Was a great video, and yes, we probably expected too much from v1.0. And then there were the bugs. If they can just make a great base for modders, and get outta the way, CS2 will be a smash hit.

This is a cool video. Maybe I'm alone on this, but I pretty much expect sequels to be better on day one than the original was in its final form. I thought some of those late added features for CS1 were inspired by improvements in CS2, not more things to lament not being there...being able to toggle zoning being a prime example of that.
