This game looks like it has solid bones but it really lacks meat. If mods/expansions/dlc fill the game out after release, awesome I'll pick it up. But if they're just going to pull a "banished" and release a bare bones game then seemingly vanish for half a year I'm not interested.

It's made in switzerland. The german-speaking part, even. Why Italy?

Italy makes bad trains. AnsaldoBreda has a recent track record of delivering trains on neither time nor on spec.

The Pendolino trains delivered to the Finnish National State Railway were not on on time nor spec. Also, after delivery to this notorious tropical climate, it was found out that they are abysmal in cold weather.

I'm hoping for something in the spirit of Railroad Tycoon 3 - the signaling complexity is there if you want it, but if you don't want to be a signaling sperglord you can do non-realistic stuff like let trains occupy the same track, etc.

This guy's been doing a couple of multi hour playthroughs over the week or so. If you can understand german or just want to check out how the game plays, these videos should interest you : https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTHcscbf3HJLzvjYu4Yau3vp6Av59wohf

I really just want a game that involves industry chains and logistics and doesn't look like it was made in the 90s, preferably one with single player campaigns and challenges. OpenTTD is a little too spergy for me. This game looks more like the connections are an afterthought, and you'll just swim in money after 5 minutes.

This is a train game, you should probably look elsewhere as it'll be very minimal on the city management aspects I believe.

The game looks like it's about to start and the computer makes the 'error fart' noise and I get a box saying "Failed to find Steam". Which is the same thing that happened with the other .cfg fix I tried. Thanks though.

It's only four days out. On the fifth, I am sure someone here can post their feelings and then I will make the decision to buy. Goon testing, so to speak.

I did buy it already, because gently caress it'll probably still be entertainment for a week, if nothing else to discover all the ways the game is broken. Edit: Hoping it's actually good though. nielsm fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Aug 31, 2014 |

With regards to modding if textures are changed easily I think something like this would be pretty cool: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=58526 Not sure how good you could make it look in full 3d unless you have correct lighting and shaders though.

Apparently the only way to get it work is digging all around the internet to pirate the expansion and hunt down a bunch of patches and... I'm running Windows 7 64, and I'm able to run it. You need the patch from here, which I will briefly rehost here if you don't feel like emailing a dude for an account for a website you'll never use again. Make sure you've got a clean install, instead of using the patched exe, which is what makes the game not launch with steam. You'll also want to look at the texture fix, but be warned that you basically can't use the single player screen with it or you'll crash. Scenarios work fine, as does starting a single player mission, saving, quitting, applying the patch, then loading the save. Edit: Wipfmetz posted:Maybe Industry Giant 2 might be something then? You build farms and factories and shops and handle the transportation of your goods by train, trucks, ship and plane. It was done in the early 00s and looks like that: sprite-based, but kinda pretty sprites. Mordieth posted:maybe even something like factorio might be something for you (there are trains). Thanks for the suggestions. Industry Giant 2 looks sort of interesting and the reviews aren't too bad, but I'm hesitant to plop down for an ancient game on some random DRM'd website.I've looked at factorio a year ago, but it seemed like something perpetually in beta. I'll give it another look, thanks! Volmarias fucked around with this message at 21:52 on Aug 31, 2014 |

Now to see if it's any good, as I never played it back in the day.

OK, after having a look some of the German playthrough videos, I've decided to be an idiot and do the pre-order thing. In reality, engines can have a 40-year lifespan if they're well maintained, so I dunno.

Most steam locomotives being designed and built in the early 20th century could have lasted 80-100 years with proper maintenance, the problem being that proper maintenance costs a shitload of money and as diesel became more powerful and reliable steam was quickly phased out. A lot of diesel locomotives built in the '60's and '70's are still in service today and likely will be for decades to come - albeit severely modified and likely refurbished more than once. I've been following this game since I first came across it on Greenlight and considering I though it was a long shot way back then, I'm happy to see the guy followed through. It looks pretty bare bones but I've gone ahead and preordered it anyway in hopes that it'll be fun enough and there will be more to come. Also, I'm still getting my transport game fix from TTDLX and I find it ridiculous that I need to turn to a game I first bought in 1994 since there's been so little to choose from since then. I do wish there was more (or any) North American equipment in the game, but I suspect if that isn't part of some DLC later on it will be quickly modded into the game.

Having the heartlands, rural towns and some murrican diesel engines would be the tits. If the mod tools are robust, I doubt we wait forever.

I started playing Transport Tycoon when I was 5 years old. It was the second game I ever played after some Wolfenstein game which was terrifying for a kid. When I found a nice game about trains and airplains I was pretty happy. I can still remember launching that fucker through mother loving DOS prompt of all things. I am really loving excited to finally get a good 3D version of my favorite game ever.

drat that modding sounds great so far, hope this won't be too entirely dominated by the germanosphere to the point that finding mods/documentation in english is a chore. From all the videos I've seen my only complaint was "needs more production chains" and it sounds like modding has that on lock down already.
