CIM2 vs TT

[wh1sp3r]

Hello

I did quick search and i haven't found such a thread about it.
I am big fun of transport tycoon game and I also own CIM 1. I would like to ask about difference between Transport Tycoon and CIM 2 game?
That should be really great, if it's like TT + more !

Cim2 looks a lot like Cim1, less like Transport Tycoon, basicly...

 

[wh1sp3r]

But they said, it has dynamic cities ... that's a big difference from CIM 1

Yes, the city will grow according to your service. But still, the game is much closer to CiM1 than to TT. CiM2 has only 1 city per map and only public transport, no cargo.

I personally like OpenTTD (which actually is Transport Tycoon based), and I have played it for a huge amount of hours TTs and CiM (both 1 & 2) have some things in common, but in fact they are also very much different. Both are great, and should not be compared

It would be very nice it there where more then one city in huge maps. Maybe CIM3

I think at some point CO confirmed multiple city centres in a map... So, does that mean multiple cities!?

I think that means you could have a map with multiple smaller cities, or one really big city, depending on how the map develops.

Forget TT, look up Train Fever!

Totally irrelevant and out of topic, but hey... thats me!

CiM is much more like Simutrans (a freeware modification of TTD that has similar mechanisms where it tracks where each passenger wants to go and they will use connecting lines to get there).

Arguably...
Still by far it looks most like Traffic Giant, and i do think it was based on that...

Simutrans is not so much a modification of open TTD but an separate game inspired by TTD: aside from a few graphical libraries, all of the code in Simutrans is distinct. Also, Simutrans is not so much freeware as open source.

Actually, the parallels between CIM and Simutrans (in simulation terms) are quite close: Simutrans, I think, is the only other transport simulation game where passengers have specific destinations. The graphics in CIM (and especially CIM2) are rather more modern than in Simutrans (which is not surprising, since the latter has been around since 1997, albeit is is constantly updated); the videos showing the road-laying remind me rather of the videos of the latest version of SimCity showing the equivalent feature.
