GamingLives takes a look at the upcoming Train Simulator release from RailSimulator.com, including some entirely new features and a train-based social media network.
"The sexier UI and improved Career mode look set to draw in a new crowd of curious onlookers, while the beefed-up creation tools and social hub that is Engine Driver will please well-established fans."
Train Simulator 2015 has dozens and dozens of trains and routes for purchase. Here are some pop-culture themed suggestions that they should consider adding in the near future!
Love them or hate them, the ubiquitous “Simulator” games continue to go from strength to strength causing a considerable amount of bemusement that baffles most critics. Traditionally these games feel like harmless fun but some games now give the impression that they can train you to do the real thing.
Simulators of the Surgeon, Goat, Rock or even Grass variety offer gimmicky fun for a few hours, but they are ultimately novelty games with little replay value once the joke has outstayed its welcome, but you could argue that they attempt to inject a little fun into the genre and don’t take themselves too seriously.
Being able to let your imagination run wild and be whoever you wanted to be in another universe has always ensured a healthy amount of escapism in gaming, so it’s something of a surprise to see gamers escaping to play games where they perform everyday jobs complete with mundane tasks.
8CN: In case you’ve been living under a rock and haven't noticed, simulators have become all the rage lately. For example, with a grass simulator and rock simulator recently announced, you can now virtually simulate hiding under that rock of yours. But that's only the beginning. The depths of simulator madness go far, far deeper.
Go outside? You mean pick up VR. We are building a society of overweight fat people... Sad. Wall-E here we come.
I know someone who is FOAMING at the mouth waiting for this to release.
I just upgraded his PC and this was ALL he was talking about.
Have fun my friend
