So cims choose a route based on multiple criteria, now. That’s how transportation network analysis is done IRL. AND they can turn around and reroute in the middle of a trip. Super cool.

That all happened on Windows, too. I don’t know how they let it go on like that for so long.
But they did not go back and add things they promised but didn’t deliver on.
Not yet, anyway. There are a lot of improvements coming with the DLC, supposedly. The police overhaul on its own has the potential to add tons of replayability. Getting a wanted level & running from the cops was like 90% of my GTA IV time.
I’m one of those game tourists who hardly ever finishes anything. I don’t have enough time to game so I’ll just drop a game if I’m not really into. Cyberpunk was one of the few games I’ve finished in recent years.
I guess I never really thought of it that way, but I’m in the same boat. I even have trouble finishing games I really enjoy, like Outer Worlds. Cruised straight through Cyberpunk though. The quickhack + sniper gameplay was endlessly satisfying for me.
Definitely appears that way, towards the end of the teaser there’s a graphic showing what appear to be spheres of influence/territory similar to Stellaris or any other 4X game.
AFAIK the way it worked in the first game, the pathfinding was a simple A* algorithm that used only the length & speed limit of each link in the network to determine the shortest path. The way this video makes it sound, travel time will be the most significant factor, which means traffic will make a difference in the pathfinding. Then they’re also introducing factors related to the individual cim’s need for parking, comfort, and risk-taking. It should be a lot more realistic and just as challenging, without the ridiculous situations where traffic would come to a complete standstill because everyone is taking the same route even though there are hundreds of alternative side streets to take.
As someone who’s done some advanced coursework in traffic engineering, I’m pumped.
