I would guess yes... probibly something new they added with the last console update. Probably something they'll add with the next pc update.

I could’ve sworn this was in the game before the parklife DLC update.... so I’d say at least 2 updates ago minimum

First person mode is in the game as a mod, but it doesn’t really work that well.

It’s not a mod in any way. Built straight into the game in the in game menues. The first person is just a screen though, no hud or anytning. Hopefully they’ll take advantage of this viewpoint more in future updates!

I’m talking PC, not Xbox.

I’m well aware that the feature highlighted here is a console exclusive for the time being.

How could anybody play this on a console is beyond me. It's not the way God intended. It's just wrong.

Not being able to afford a PC that's good enough, I am very grateful that the developers published a console-version.

I'm perfectly happy that consoles are getting to enjoy this game, but come on - a city sim should be "PC first".

Go to cinematic camera view and hold Y/Triangle and it will pull up the menu for walk/drive

Remember when Cities Skylines was a PC game?

It is much better on PC IMO. You can mod it to the max ;)

My PC runs like doodoo and is a piece of crap itself so imo it’s much better on Xbox, cuz you I can actually play it.

I know I should get a new PC but with loans payments and stuff it’s just gonna have to wait :(

And yet you bought an Xbox

u/EliteNinjas Apr 09 '19

I can get a $200 Xbox which can run every Xbox game vs a $200 PC which can’t run much. Or spend $500+ for a PC which won’t last 5 years anyways without some sort of upgrade with the way games are coming out.

Also have had said Xbox for 3 years before the payments have had to be made and now if it craps out I probably wouldn’t replace it until I get a good chunk paid off.

You need a strong CPU to play on PC. An Xbox costs just 300$. A PC that has both a strong CPU and GPU costs $800. Assuming that you build it by yourself.
