First title in a planned series.

Even though that's absolutely not my type of game, I might buy it.

They make train sims!?

I'll have to get one

JHuschke · 09-22-08, 05:21 PM

Hmmm..very good graphics..I might buy it too..I am mostly into action and shooter hardcore games

I know the subway simulation the developer has released for MS Train Simulation. It was quite good. I recognized the stations I knew from my time in Berlin easily, they also implemented a 1:1 copy of the female computer announcer they use in reality.

The visuals look clearly superior to those of Berlin Subway.

And yes, Lance, they make Train Sims. Since over 12 years

There already were train sims before Microsoft took on it 8 or 9 years ago. especially Germany is being covered wioth projects to simulate this or that regional track. You can travel all general regions of Germany in simulated railway. Also Berlin in the 20s. Also trains of the past, and Diesel and steam locomotives from before eletrification of all tracks.

I guess they have bad marketing, but I just typed "train sim" into google and there are quite a few of them.
I should have guessed they would make them for all the railfans.

Still, it seems a bit odd to buy a train simulator when I already drive trains for a living:hmm:

Train simulators are only for those people with one track minds.

Waiting for the graffiti and mugger add on.

Looks neat, too much money though, gotta get a new Joystick for Il2 and FSX.

Neptunus Rex · 09-23-08, 07:32 PM

Wow! I rode that PATH line every work day for eight years and those screen shots are dead on accurate.

Blacklight · 09-23-08, 07:41 PM

Buy the sim and you can simulate going to and from work every day !

Neptunus Rex · 09-23-08, 09:11 PM

That would be a long commute from Ohio.

LiveGoat · 09-24-08, 01:03 PM

Wow! I take the PATH fairly regularly and those shots are uncanny. Needs some transvestite hookers and babbling crack-heads for true realism though. Oh, and urine puddles! Need plenty of urine puddles!

Blacklight · 09-24-08, 01:34 PM

Maybe someone can make a "Realism" mod.
