Paradox Holiday Countdown teaser

[slornie]

The trouble with giving hints like that is some people are always going to end up disappointed.

Maybe something to do with a certain vehicle type...

This could even be player-controlled taxicabs (for which New York is justifiably famous).

But then you are missing the point of:

[...]but something that people have been asking for since Cities in Motion first came out.

My bet is still on buses bay. And if NYC have huge traffic jams, that would be extremely useful.
But NYC metros are also being asked for long time. And trolley buses.

P.S.: hm, maybe the new type of transport is taxi. But I don't remember this being requested since CiM came out.

 

[unmerged(368505)]

like i said, it was what i requested a couple months back. I hope you guys tread this, because i'm about to tell you what I THINK it is.

It is most likely an R142 and an R160, dont forget I'm guessing. So if I'm wrong, don't come after me.

EDIT: I guessed this because once i was researching it and i saw the first request dated back to when the game was in open beta.

Maybe we finally got Tram/bus stops. No more need to have a tram stop right next to a bus stop. But ya very excited about this expansion pack.

 

[Synthtronic]

It could be also one-way-streets that have been requested since the start from CIM.
And NY has many one-way-streets!
But NY have no streetcars (tram) in town

 

[TriGlav_2000]

It would be really lame if new improvement is only two new train skins. I'm also betting it'll be bus related improvement, maybe bus bays, bus lanes or bus station.

NY once had streetcars (tramways).

 

[douglasrac]

Yes, one-way streets is a good candidate, but it doesn't have to do with one type of vehicle. Would be at least two types of vehicles, buses and trams.

But I'm done guessing. Christmas is over, Monday is over, where are the news!?!?

 

[slornie]

Don't be hasty, co_martsu said "holiday break". I reckon whatever it is will be announced in the new year.

 

[TriGlav_2000]

Today (Monday 26th) is Holiday in most countries, Boxing day or St. Stephens day, in my country is Independance and Unity day. So maybe tomorrow.

 

[douglasrac]

According to Google Calendar, in Finland is not holiday Tuesday to Friday. So I expect something tomorrow

My main wish is "Diagonal monorail and underground stations"
as in thread of 2-6-2011 and as in the post of Zarax this 26-12-2011.

Other old wishes :
- all means of transport available at the same time (monorail, trams, ...),
- the software uses all available cores
- small tunnel for tramways
- although it's not often true in reality, it would be convenient in this game
to have common stop for trams and buses

And here is a list of functionalities I add to my games by mod and it would be convenient
to have them in the standard product :
- cut the intro music
- no cloud
- complete line statistics
- auto tikets price
- build roads

Another big wish : more complete display of transport users for each buildings, offices,...

Can't wait for the expansion,

Happy new year

 

[500Series]

Could it be the ability to build single track for trams? I remember they were talking about it even before the game released.

I know, I regret saying anything Luckily we're nowhere near finished with Cities in Motion, so the development continues!

Unfortunately when it comes to the news, you'll have to look to the west from Finland. I want the announcement as badly as you guys so we get to discuss what you think

 

[Philemon1976]

*looking to Sweden*

nope... don't see anything there in the snowy valleys of Sweden...

I would love metro improvemnt like diagonal metro stations. Or metro stations with Express-Lines...

 

[douglasrac]

I know, I regret saying anything

Please don't be.

Luckily we're nowhere near finished with Cities in Motion, so the development continues!

Really glad to hear that!

Unfortunately when it comes to the news, you'll have to look to the west from Finland.

Still can't crack your code. :huh:

 

[unmerged(272945)]

Still can't crack your code. :huh:

As Philemon mentioned above, Sweden is west of Finland.

So I would guess that the dev team (Colossal Order) can't do much without the approval of the publishers (Paradox, Sweden). Get back to work, Paradox, it ain't coffee break 24/7!

Yes, good news indeed that CO aren't going to let CIM go, something I have feared for some time =)

 

[unmerged(368505)]

UGH, I forgot the one-way streets. who knows, maybe it'll be R142, R160, one-way streets, trolleybuses, buses bay, and curved and diagonal metro stations?



BTW, what is buses bay?

 

[douglasrac]

Oh that is the case. Paradox!

BTW, what is buses bay?

When I say buses bay I'm talking about a bus stop being on the sidewalk, not on the streets. Meaning while the bus is there, the traffic can still flow.

-I want to see double tracked monorail like it is in most cities that use monorail as a form of serious mass transport.
-How about Light Rail? Light Rails are really prevalent in North America. The trains tend to be larger, longer and operate at higher speeds then trams. Basically acting like a cheaper version of heavy rail in the United States. Light rails should have all the abilities of the metro.
-Automated people mover trains-like the ones you see at some airports or in the central downtown districts of some cities.
-Cableway transport: this is not usually found in many cities but it would be a cool addition to the game and usually for cities with extreme elevation changes so that you could transport people back and forth between those areas
-Metro upgrades: elevated island platform stations, diagonal stations, the ability to run the metro in between the high way and place stations there
-Bus Rapid Transit
-Commuter rail: for those really big cities that are spread out vary far commuter rail would be a good addition
-Tram upgrade: The ability to run underground and have stations underground
-This is for all transport types: yards and depots for every type of transport to be stored when not in use and in need of maintenance
-Tons of more buildings: I know some people have made custom content but its still not enough, the focus of the game is transport but the cities all the look the same after a while and it would be nice to have A LOT of variety to make each city interesting. For example the airport in so small and boring. It would be nice to have a huge airport where there are different types of terminals and you could run a monorail or my suggested automated people mover on lines in between the terminals. Another example would be the shopping centers: how about a huge mall?

I'm sure most of this stuff won't make it into this game or at least the first version of it but its fun to think about.

Maybe a Rubber-tyred metro like in Paris, Santiago, Montreal and Mexico? :laugh:
