TSW - Pre-Beta video, 30 min. NEW!

[bhk]

DTG have just given "Squirrel" (a UK-based reviewer) access to the pre-Beta video they did.

For those of you interested in what this sim will offer...here is the link:-

Good stuff Bruce.....I hadn't seen this video, however, I do like "Squirrel's" reviews.

I actually had posted a thread about picking up TSW, about the same time as you posted this it appears. After re-reading my thread.....WOW....made me sound really crabby or something. Hmmm....not at all what I was trying to say, so I deleted.

Squirrel's review is pretty much EXACTLY like the Beta that was released. I'd call it more of a "Demo" than an actual Beta...but it pretty much showcases how beautiful the new sim will be. (And it is breathtaking!!!)

Frame rates......I was getting about 30fps with everything cranked up....so not too bad for me.

As far as game play....not too much difference from TS2017.....a LOT of the key commands are the same which will be good. I'll have to leave it up to someone else to comment on the physics of the game.

I deleted the beta off my computer last evening......so will wait to see how it fairs once released. However, I've pretty much decided that TS2017 with ALL the add-on's I've purchased over the years will satisfy my Train Sim desire. Heck....I still have things purchased on sale that I really haven't used much yet. (smile)

Cheers!!

Okay......I see Steam had TSW listed on their "Summer Sale" for 77% off which made it just under $10 US. Not being able to pass a bargain (smile)....I did purchase it last evening. Took longer to download and install than I thought it would....so since it was almost midnight already, I haven't had too much of a chance to "explore." The 20 or so minutes I was in there....not too bad. Will I get wrapped around the axle on buying all the add-on's etc., etc.,....I seriously doubt it...but if a steam engine happened to come along, I would have to give it a try.

Cheers,
