Riding the bus - in New York

Skybird · 08-09-09, 03:55 PM

Strange things they are releasing on the sim market since some time. Farming. Tractor-driving. Garbage collecting. Fork-lift trucks.

Or this:

New Yorkers will love to learn that traffic problems in NY have been significantly reduced recently.

Im still waiting on the paint drying simulator.

It took me a long time to find out is wasn't a joke.
I'm speechless.

OK can you close the door as people are getting on and drag them down the street?

Are you missions to drive bus routes and hit the times correctly?

OK it looks good but a bit pointless? Unless you are training to be an NYC bus driver.

It looks like it could be fun....for 20minutes.

The graphics look as if they were at least three years old (probably older), the animations of the people were a joke and the voicing a catastrophe. So it has everything a total failure needs.

More crap churned out to make a fast buck.

This rates with Train and Subway sims.

You do not know german game company "Astragon" which developed and released masterworks like this:

Misery loves company.

Hey lay off the Trainsims now

NeonSamurai · 08-09-09, 08:37 PM

Dunno maybe they are intended as job training aids rather then games. I know they do that for crane operation and heavy vehicles.

You'll need an extra large wheel to complete the immersion:

I'd buy a UK based one, my father is a bus driver, well, was, he works mainly in timetabling now but still does the odd rail replacement. I was riding around on Routemasters and Leyland Nationals when I was four or five, got a look down in the pits under a National when I was about six and reverse-parked a Leyland Atlantean (double decker) (with parental assistance) when I was about nine.

Although, it's not easy to nail a good driving sim, perhaps it's because it's American based and I prefer the 70s-80s UK bus scene that I don't take so much to it.

This looks promising though, if not particularly stellar in the graphics department, the sounds are good.

And TF is right, Train Sims are very enjoyable too.
