This looks like it may be officially sanctioned, even... I wish I understood Japanese.

Spoilers ahead.

Video Highlights (I know Japanese):

  • Youtuber "Hayato-no-yabou" names his city "World's number 1 most livable city"
  • Has some zooming in/out issues for a minute and has to reload
  • Comments the grid is easy to make
  • Says overall the graphics are nice and realistic. Time scaling is much more realistic than before.
  • Puts a row of houses by the landfill, for some reason pollution only seems to be stemming from the entrance of the landfill. A few houses had a backyard with chairs facing out towards the garbage pile and smoke stacks, Hayato commented the view from there was like "a dystopia/Armageddon".
  • Hayato likes the roundabouts says they are very easy to use.
  • Hayato thinks he solved the goal of profitability in the city, using parking lots, ramping the price up and removing nearby on street parking where there is high parking demand.
  • Hayato got confused a little with the loose sewer connection,
  • Hayato went in thinking it was just an upgraded Cities Skylines 1 or like Cities Skylines 1.5 but enough mechanics have changed/revamped to make it very interesting in its own right.
  • Really excited about managing traffic around managing medium/high density housing in the future
  • He makes a rail line. Starts off with about 4% capacity (Hayato says local rural lines in Kagoshima are more filled than this train)
  • He questions whether the customers are actually paying for the train (visually they enter/leave the station through the parking lot rather than the station). He gets pissed that building residents are using the station parking, until he realizes he can charge them the max amount as well.
  • During winter the drivers are mostly too lazy to clear their windshield before they start driving. They probably have a camera on the front with a screen to tell them where they are going.
  • He ends the video by letting citizens drink water that "should be healthier because it's near the hospital" (downstream from the sewage pipe). Everyone starts complaining and ambulances start getting sent out but people don't get sick quite at the same rate as before in CS:1. Big traffic lineup of ambulances.
