Farming Simulator 25 - OUT November 12th - Part 1

[@Druac]

One of my favorite things about this release...they are dropping old-gen consoles. With that ball-and-chain gone...let us hope they used that opportunity to improve things.

[@Scroft]

I agree. It should mean a big improvement overall

[@itsdeebs5156]

Needs an Australia map. The sheer insanity and scale of operations. Single farms bigger than entire countries. The crazy custom equipment. Would be wild

[@Cipher160]

I feel like the core issue people had with grapes/olives was either a map didn't come with it setup and before they added snapping it was near impossible to setup causing people to just ignore it. Then when maps did come with them pre-setup on the map it came in 2 flavors. Vineyards small enough to be overshadowed by anything on the map or so damn big it would take you 15 hours to harvest a single vineyard plot leading to the core issue... It was the only aspect that couldn't use automated workers which I imagine for most was the killing blow.

[@TheBiggRiggz]

100% agree, but on PC we have the mods that allow us to maintain a straight line as well as harvest at top speed. Problem is getting the first row of vines set at the correct angle on the first go, which can be a nightmare. But once that first row is in its all golden from there. Hopefully all the extra root crops that came in with one of the expansion packs are base game in 25. Plus hopefully they get licensing for more American vehicles like Chevy, Dodge & Ford so that console players can get them too

[@vaudevillian7]

Yeah one of the main things I do is vineyards, but get that it’s not for everyone

[@Scroft]

I fully agree. You're spot on. I'm hoping this time round it's been improved and more inviting to players.

[@Druac]

Can't wait to play it...sometime in 2025 when my favorite mods are out and better maps. I'm always dissapointed in vanilla FS...but the game tranforms into one of my favorite games of all time 3-6 months later.

[@That_Guy_Grizz]

Having a third person view option standard in the game would make the game so much more fun

[@craigpeter4794]

The one thing I'd really love to see is the mirrors when 1st person driving actually work and become useabe when reversing etc.

[@sofianmisadi3879]

I am not a farmer but I remember studying from school textbooks about how resourceful farmers in asia would turn hillsides into rice terraces. Hopefully it can be implemented in the FS25.

[@JustMyFish]

Looks Good in all, not to bothered about rice is a long growing crop and takes all year before harvest and not very profitable. Was hoping for a British map I had heard rumours of a in game Lancashire Map with highland Cows but that don't look it be the case.

[@Arctica_Nor]

Will I buy it? Yes. Am I super hyped based on this? No. Have 0 interest in rice and water buffaloes. Am I hoping more interesting info for my type of gameplay will come later? Yes. Otherwise this will only be a graphics upgrade (hopefully) to fs 22 for me.

[@leelawrence3379]

Now that you will be able to grow rice they could also have cranberries. Fingers crossed the weather and graphics are like the trailer.

[@TheBiggRiggz]

I'm not buying FS25 until it's been out for a year. But looks cool. I've seen a lot of rice patties in California

[@johncasalinuovo3352]

Spinach. And then if you zoom In on the seasonal planting schedule it says green beans and peas as well

[@vaudevillian7]

Still hoping for a tulip bulb crop (and a proper Dutch polder map) one day, lots of slightly different kit to use for that and different things to do with the bulbs / flowers as a crop

[@BendaCatClaas]

I'm wondering if the rice Field boundaries are "Deformable Ground" ? 🤞

[@vitalmind]

Guess you and George will have to take a vacation to Asia to check some things out. As a console player, I have been on the end of games moving on to the next gen. It does stink for some on the last gen that cant upgrade, but it is a necessary change to keep the game moving in a good direction. I look forward to all your videos on this new version Scroft. Though after typing that i realize George is not allowed near any rice field without a life jacket. Hes terrible around water 😅

[@terrier930]

In one of the screenshots scroft we see the fendt with a mazuri seeder on the back which is built in Worcestershire so another nod to a British map expansion.

[@pammy5260]

I cant wait til you do many roleplays with the new game when its out. Im still trying to catch up with farmhand. George is my favourite character and think im at episode 174 or close. George moans that much, its actually good to hear him when he laughs. I wish the console for fs22 had the ability to delete the base games that come with it, except for elmcreek. Always revert back to that when im trying new equipment or farmbuild layouts. Want more tractors too.

[@timbodman6733]

If you look at the last map it has stone walls so could be Scottish map may be Irish fantastic video scroft keep it up

[@jasonfriedrich8596]

At 8:26, could it be that there will be face scanning for your character that will be available 3rd person now? I know PC had a mod that brought 3rd person but you only saw your player in a vehicle or through the build mode on console. Just a thought

[@TheBiggRiggz]

I'm also curious if this will do anything to change your Farm Hand Series? Maybe Oxygen David will put a rush on getting Court Farms moved over so you can continue the Series on the new platform

[@vauxbullgaming2952]

Rice is good but missing something and focus on chickens could we be getting rice production egg fried rice maybe?

[@artstep9661]

There is also Aprilla motorcycle.

[@leephipps3530]

Fantastic news 👍

[@SP1RITF8NG]

The guy did say Spinach?

[@GeneMoreau]

Who just wanders off a dirt road down a jungle path in SE Asia? Good way to end up an statistic.

[@br0wns25]

Was looking forward to this but I guess I'm stuck on 22 forever with not having next gen console or pc which sucks as not all of us are fortunate enough to have the spare money for a better system guess I'll just have to watch the videos but it looks good

[@MountainboTools]

I'm mega hyped for this!😁👍

[@Scroft]

me too!

[@jonathanmaybury5698]

They don't have Buffalo in China they have Oxen, which you can see. If you look carefully the horns are different.

[@vaudevillian7]

I thought it was a water buffalo in Vietnam or similar..?

[@jonathanmaybury5698]

@@vaudevillian7 you are correct they are water buffaloes oxen are slightly bigger, but at the same time they are not buffaloes they may partly share the same name but they are not the same.

[@tax6499]

At 10:35 aprilia moto . New brand in game ?

[@0utrider]

Looks like those of us with old computers are going to be s.o.l... I don't think my machine will even touch that game...wow.

[@MrLisborg]

I want to have North American Bison

[@vaudevillian7]

Same here, one of my top 10 wishlist items

[@NZ_nicky]

👍

[@Farmerh01]

Also could imagine George in Asia 😂😂 be imprisoned by end of week … maybe he get a ti Bride .. but yeh fs 25 looks interesting but I’m not getting hyped like you said fs22 was held back pretty much by it’s access to old gen equipment

[@Scroft]

😂 George lost in Asia... the movie

[@Farmerh01]

@@Scroft has to be a series

[@eazyyyt]

Hey we can talk about the trailer that leaked days ago now 🎉

[@TheUrbanExplorer24]

@4.16 you say look at the graphics. This is what it's going to look like, But it clearly says not actual game footage ??

[@dajayway]

It's not going to look like that, that's a CGI trailer go to the blog and there are some screenshots at the end doesn't look to different

[@Scroft]

I meant the Asian map, The hills and landscape. Hopefully it will be detailed. I say in the video that the graphics are not going to look like this

[@DJRyanJamesUK]

i'm not interested in the Asian farming however apparently theres rumours of a UK based map from Giants you heard this Scroft?

[@R0t-and-RC]

Hi scroft will survival rolplay carry on in fs25 pal loving the video s

[@Doubledazzlers]

Can you not use fs 25 with ps4

[@seanobrien7169]

No!

[@AndreaFromTokyo]

CGI trailer means literally NOTHING.

[@Scroft]

But the blog details do. An there is some good stuff from that. I'm looking forward to seeing more

[@AndreaFromTokyo]

@@Scroft The Blog details are even worse xD the screenshots look exactly like FS22! We'll see i guess.

[@GeneMoreau]

Are we sure they are father and daughter? 😂

[@joseurena5247]

Copy and paste they gotta use unreal engine

[@___mantometzgaming___]

I can’t say that it offers that great value if you have fs22 already. I seem to remember 22 was a massive improvement on 19 but this just seems like a DLC??

[@Cipher160]

Feel a deeper connection to your fields and nature thanks to a general tech upgrade with improved graphics and physics based on the latest and modding-friendly GIANTS Engine 10. Including distance fog, enhanced shadows, dynamic weather effects, ground deformation, and more. The romantic life of virtual farming gets more immersive and atmospheric! How is that not a big improvement? Ground deformation alone is something we've been waiting years for after Cattle and Crops had it as a feature and attempted to take on Farm Sim but failed. Let alone there's still more detail of the mechanics to be explained at Farm Con in a few weeks.

[@___mantometzgaming___]

@@Cipher160 I had only watched the trailer, as I was on a quick lunch break so didn’t have time to read the blog and everything. My bad for giving a first impression

[@Scroft]

More news will come out. But for me, dropping the older gen consoles and the improved specs will make this a much needed upgrade. I think when we see more at Farmcon it will be more clear. The graphics, effects, and soil deformation, all sound promising to me

[@Scroft]

it's all good buddy. We still have a lot more to come

[@___mantometzgaming___]

I had to come back and say that I did judge way too early. So sorry, really getting excited now and have preordered the CE. Thanks Scroft for the continued updates 👍

[@brynsallpops6443]

How are you first

[@Scroft]

You're first mate 🙂

[@SP1RITF8NG]

I knew it was coming but this is too short notice. What about those who have to save for it. Rice is a mod for FS22.

[@eazyyyt]

You have almost 5 months to save 60 bucks mate. Lol less than $3 a week.

[@Orxbane]

It won't even be worth playing until the mod community has a chance to build around the new engine. That will be at least another 6 months post release before interesting maps and gameplay mods come out.
