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.
If only the world leaders could read your post and see the error of their ways. It helped change my life. It really did. I was locked into my special fat person sofa with a funnel of KFC gravy about to pour into my mouth when I realised... 'shit some guy on a gaming comments section thinks people should eat less' and it all became clear.
Thank you ApolloAdams - you've not only saved my life, you've quite possibly saved the world.
Train Simulator 2014 from developer and publisher RailSimulator.com upgrades last year's edition of the game with various new features and improvements that are focused on both casual and veteran players. Notable additions to the game include three routes with London-Faversham High Speed, Donner Pass, and Hamburg-Hanover, career system, added editor tools, and Steam Workshop integration. In addition, improvements have been made to the game's graphics and performance.
I enjoy the game but the dlc is ridiculous on price I got the 2012 edition and it just patches up each year that said I love weird simulator games I collect them.
True but even then they are still overpriced for me they would sell twice as much content if it reduced its about 500 bux almost for everything.
I think everything at full price is a couple grand if I remember reading that right. I usually didn't buy any of the expansions unless they were $15 or less and then only the ones I really wanted. Most are a lot of content for the price but some are simply not worth the sale price, much less the list price. It is nice how the game upgrades basically for free unlike games like Trainz where you have to buy the new version each time, and that sort of offsets the DLC cost a little. Either way compared to most "niche simulator" games Railworks, or Train Simulator as it's known now, is more than a little expensive for what you get most of the time.
Two bad things. DLC price and game engine optimisation.
It looks like it was designed in 2005 but it runs worse than Crysis 3. No. This is not an exaggeration. To max this game and get a minimum framerate of 30FPS all the time @ 1080p you need at least a Titan.
Luckily if you just run it with FXAA and the view distance a couple of notches down it runs alright on slightly less expensive hardware. But seriously. Make it run better FFS! A modern PC should run this thing at 120 FPS maxed out the way it looks.
