Yeah, I was going to buy this today, but I'm going to hold off until I see that they have patched the PS4 version. I'm not playing for hours and losing my save file, that's completely unacceptable to me and would make me anxious every time I play.
Apparently they are aware of it anyway: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/cities-skylines-ps4-save-game-issue.1039773/

So I am on my third city. I planned very well i thought. Somehow, a pandemic occurs. The first time I accommodated and saved the city (it lost half its population from 30,000), then it happened again and I look at the ambulances and they are driving in circles.........what is going on?

Disable overscan on your TV then. It's on you, not on them.
16:9 often overscans on TV's. You want to look for a screen fit, just scan, picture fit or whatever (different brands call it different things) in the tv's menu.

Honestly, I usually mind too but games like these I get my money's worth within the first week. Already played about 15 hours since Tuesday lol
My city of 12,000 failed. My roads sucked.
Time to start over with this knowledge
I'm at the same population level. I've started upgrading my roads to 3 lanes but the population and income is dropping fast lol. Don't know if my fair city will survive this kind of renovation!
By the way, do you guys have any tips when it comes to busses and taxis? I have kind of neglected that so far.

Try minimizing the number of intersections in your city and having large uninterrupted roads between districts. I just bought the game last weekend (on PC) and realized that intersections create a lot of the congestion, now my city is at 25000 people with no 3-lane roads and a very good traffic flow.
I'm still experimenting with public transport, not sure about the best way to place it. Around 10% of my total population is using my buses and metro right now but I'd like to get those numbers up soon. I've just put up stations in central locations so far which seems to work ok.

not sure I'll reach 200k too hard after 150
No mods on console? Automatic Bulldoze mod on PC is fucking sexy.
Don't think so.

I'm surprised that no one are willing to share their stories about their city development like Retro Edge. Those kind of stuffs is entertaining to read.

All I've been able to find, from the Paradox forums (https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?threads/cities-skylines-now-available-for-ps4.1039708/):
Seems to be running pretty well so far, and looks nice enough. I'm only sitting at about 15k residents though.

Yea, really hope the traffic DLC comes to consoles but I can't think about that too much. When it comes, it comes.
For now, I just have to plan a bit before I lay my city down again.
Good old paper and pen for planning...I love when a game makes me pull out paper + pen lol, good old days.

do I have to bulldoze every abandoned building?

Make sure to use public transport and walking/biking paths. This will decrease the amount of traffic.
Old Town policy will help as well.

sorted out my game saving issues so back to it!
feeling pretty overwhelmed at the moment, especially when it comes to planning roads and all the various transport options. seems I should be leaving a lot more space around roads so in future upgrades or adding bus lanes or train tracks is easier. also basics like how big to make the various zones and positioning of the various types in relation to each other.
i keep looking at pictures of cities others have made and whilst they are no doubt using various mods that I don't have access to still feels a sense of "how the hell do I plan that?". feeling pretty dumb right now!

I started a city using only 6 lane roads
feels like a waste of space but it sure beats the traffic

Yeah I repaved all my roads with six lanes and the traffic problems almost ceased. Also encourage biking and make public transit free policies help. And build bus lines and taxi depots/stops.
My biggest issue is not having enough uneducated workers to work in the industrial zones.

I picked a new map for my 6 lane city and damn the building styles are like Rome or something I don't like it no modern high rises

That's the European style. The map will tell you when you go to select it what building type the area is.

ok for some reason this map seems harder to hit 90,000
edit: I think this game is buggy on PS4
I keep having massive die offs and I made sure my waster was clean and health is maxed these die offs just seem to happen and I lose 30k citizens not fun

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
The XBO version got so much better when they patched in the ability to speed up time. It also performs a lot better. I need to start a new city, mine is really bland looking and Old Town has tiny tiny roads that would cause me to demolish tons of buildings to upgrade.
I'm really trying to figure out hydro electric power. It always seems to work for little while, and then the river seems to flow backwards, and there's no more power. Does the flow of the river have that much effect in real life? Doesn't the pressure on the dam cause the water to flow through the turbines when water is allowed through? I don't know why the river flowing is so important. It's only not flowing because of the dam.

In Cities Skylines people ages and die, if you zone a huge part of the map with residentials at one time, it get filled with new people, but they will all die around the same time, causing these sudden drops in population.
The best way to zone residential is doing it step by step to avoid people to arrive all at the same time.
Also, 6 lanes everywhere is not the best solution, it may look better on the trafic side, but not always.

Really interested in this. I'd be getting on ps4 pro. How's the game control?? Does the controller work well with this type of game?? Is there a decent 'tutorial for newbies??

This has not been getting a lot of love, it seems. I am someone who doesn't have a gaming PC and missed the initial community bandwagon around this game. I'm surprised to see such little buzz about it reaching consoles. Is the initial frenzy just gone by now? Is there still a spark to be found for someone new? Is the cost too much for a vanilla version of this at this point?

Heh.
You might want to google UI scale or some shit because you're not even close to being right.

I actually think it controls really well. Sometimes when placing roads its not always obvious whats obstructing and not letting you lay it down, but IIRC it was similar on the PC so its probably not a controller problem specifically.
Some of the menus take some getting used to, and some are buried to the point I didnt know they existed until I accidentally brought them up, i.e. the menu to assign policy to specific districts.
All that being said, I have trouble opening the game and not just playing for several hours at a time. Really addicting just to make adjustments and fix traffic problems. I would recommend it for sure, if youre at all into sim games or city builders in general. Pro performance is mostly fine, zooming through even a modestly populated city at night though and youll see some slowdown. Drops some frames when saving as well.

Just stumbled across this article from windows central...It says skylines DLC expansions will come to the Xbox One version but I guess it's safe to assume the expansions will also be coming to the PS4 version.

The tutorial system for this game leaves a lot to be desired. Goddamn. I run out of money so damn fast even getting to the 1000 population point. I suck.
Tried playing with unlimited money, but that just wasn't rewarding.
I'm determined to 'git good', but the game certainly isn't helping me out much.

When I'm starting game I can pic a city zone but not where I want my first grid. It's seems like a tutorial. Do I need to finish that then the game opens up where I can pick where on the map I want my city to start.
How do I finish it? It's seems to never end.

To be fair, the Xbone version has been out for a few months, and there was a nice bump to the original OT at the time, so this is more the PS4 version OT.
Same here, aside from the blandness of my city, I find I didn't count on some of the later nuance the game requires.
Pause the game while you put down the first neighbourhoods. Otherwise you get charged for roads and services while having no citizensThe tutorial system for this game leaves a lot to be desired. Goddamn. I run out of money so damn fast even getting to the 1000 population point. I suck.

They are coming, just don't know when. Devs have said in recent interviews.
XO and PS4 versions come with After Dark DLC already.
