Hi and welcome to a gameplay walkthrough
of our upcoming City Building and Management Simulation game
Cities: VR
which releases for Quest 2 on April 28th.
I'm Martin Larsson, one of the programmers of this game.
We are bringing the definitive
city building experience of Cities: Skylines
into VR for the very first time.
In Cities: VR, we are giving you the chance
to live out your architectural and urban planning dreams.
You'll get to plan and design your neighborhoods,
construct buildings,
and make sure traffic flows,
so your citizens can go to work.
As the mayor of your own city
it's also up to you to handle the economics,
secure the emergency services
and more.
Education and entertainment
is also of importance to your growing population.
After all,
you'll need them to be happy and pay their taxes.
Ultimately,
Cities: VR allows you to create the city of your dreams
and watch it rise from the ground up.
To get started on creating your city
you will first need to lay down some roads.
Then, you'll need to add electricity
or else your citizens will live in total darkness half of the time.
To do this, you can choose between wind turbines,
coal power plants, and more.
Fresh water and sewage infrastructure
are also needed for your city to prosper.
So make sure to build some water towers
or pumping stations.
Then you can start planning for the expansion of your city
by creating residential, commercial,
industrial and office zones.
With these basics down,
you will soon see the population start growing,
eventually turning it into a thriving metropolis.
Creating a city is just the beginning.
You will also need to keep the books in order.
Adjust taxes and budget,
take loans and control your income and expenses.
However, nothing is of course more important than your citizens.
It's vital to keep an extra eye on emergency services
so that people feel safe and secure.
Same with the planning of infrastructure
so that everyone can go about their daily lives without obstacles.
Being a mayor is sure to be a full time job.
Cities: VR makes you feel like an artist
when creating and designing your cities.
With precise and tactile feedback and a palette of tools at your fingertips.
You can enjoy an intuitive and easy to use control system
that lets your creativity run free.
You can even paint the different zones
like you were drawing with your hands,
should you feel like it.
While the building and management mechanics
can be recognized from the Skylines experience
the UI and the tools have been re-made specifically for VR.
Get ready to create the city of your dreams
with an unparalleled level of presence,
immersion and hands on gameplay.
In Cities: VR, you get to see your skyline rise
from an expansive bird's eye view
and become a part of your creations
by watching them come alive from the streets.
Being this close to the different neighborhoods in VR,
and following your citizens around,
really creates a great connection to them.
We can't wait to see what amazing cities you will create
starting April 28th on the Quest 2.
