Skylines 2 could have efficiency issues at launch, in line with Paradox – WGB, House of AWESOME Opinions

Subsequent week, Paradox Interactive will launch Cities: Skylines 2 on PC and PC Recreation Go with console variations to come back subsequent yr. For followers of the city-building style, it’s a reasonably large deal as the primary Cities: Skylines is taken into account among the best examples of the style ever. Nevertheless, Paradox has issued an announcement suggesting that the sport’s efficiency could not fairly be as much as scratch.

Talking on their official discussion board, Paradox had this to say: “On one other notice, we’ve seen the issues raised about Cities: Skylines II efficiency, particularly after our earlier assertion with raised minimal and really useful specs. As we’ve all the time believed in transparency, we’d wish to additional shed some mild on the present state of the construct.“

“Cities: Skylines II is a next-gen title, and naturally, it calls for sure {hardware} necessities. With that stated, whereas our group has labored tirelessly to ship the most effective expertise doable, we’ve not achieved the benchmark we focused.”

One would possibly understandably suppose that delaying the sport can be the reply however Paradox say they consider releasing it’s the technique to go.

“We are going to frequently enhance the sport over the approaching months, however we additionally need to handle expectations on efficiency for the approaching launch. Our ambition is for Cities: Skylines II to be loved by as many gamers as doable, and we’re dedicated to making sure it reaches its full potential,” stated Paradox.

Whereas it’s definitely good to see Paradox being clear concerning the points that the sport could face when it launches, the cynical facet of me sees this as an organization brazenly stating that they’re launching a sport that doesn’t meet their very own targets however that they nonetheless count on folks to pay $50 for. However possibly I’m being too harsh.

What do you suppose? Ought to they’ve delayed the sport, or is launching it anyway the proper transfer? And is that this maybe an in poor health omen for the console launch of the sport subsequent yr?
