Yeeeessssss, I LOVE that Jeff is getting what's so cool about the Japanese transit system. This is my 'thing'. I've literally watched hundreds of these videos and recognize most lines. It's just so soothing. What a weirdly specific niche that feels like it was made just for me. Thanks, Jeff 🙏

i wish there was a fan translation for Tokyo Bus Guide on dreamcast... i'd play the shit out of that

[@dreammfyre]

3D was a mistake.

[@Macho_Fantastico]

I'm surprised more simulators don't try this sort of thing, I imagine a lot of train sims could benefit from a more FMV style.

[@withthesetwohands]

The "Japanese Rail Sim" series from Sonic Powered all works like this - FMV video synced to where you are and the speed you're running. I played most of them on the 3DS.

[@ac8598]

I can't stress enough how incredible the music are in this game. HOLY SHIT!

[@hanglider]

The game is produced by one of japans most sucsessful jazz musicians. He was the keyboard player in the band ”Casiopea”

[@TalkernateHistory]

The FMV is shockingly well done. Probably the best use of FMV I've ever seen in a game.

[@TerrySilverhand]

I hope they add some lighting effects to the inside of the train because I agree the FMV use is phenomenal but the inside of the train is so jarring.

[@funforalgernon]

Police Quest SWAT takes issue with this comment.

[@ankimotto]

Ongakukan work always uses FMV train recording, they definitely knew what were they doing when recording these!

[@GuntherSchmidl]

There's software for stationary bikes that runs on your PC and plays a video of whatver track you like as you bike it. It can also use the track's elevation profile to change your pedalling resistance accordingly - it's pretty cool.

[@michaelkitchin9665]

The Densha de Go series has been doing train sims like this for years. In the dark days of the PS3 launch, I legitimately thought about importing one of them.

[@DenkyManner]

I had the sound down at first and thought the graphics looks almost photo real. Then realised it was video. Shows how strong expectations are, it was only *almost* real.

[@VeI_2.0]

Strange mp4s. It must be in the metadata? And i wonder what would happen if you replaced it with a movie MP4 lol.

[@LukesLibrary]

I was at TGS and that shit was insanely busy when the afternoon ticket holders turned up. I can't imagine how it'd be if tourists were in full swing too. People were bumping into me and getting in my way so much, but I got to play SF6 and the Steam Deck before it got too bad.

[@Yomommalinkmugen]

I would watch every episode of a "Jeff plays Densha de Go!"

[@TheSlowpC]

Densha de go vibes 100%. That series was always interesting but happy to see someone else’s take on the fmv train sim.

[@misterburns103]

Enjoy-enjoy your gaming. Knock knock open up the door it's real.

[@richroberts7512]

I'm here on the JR EAST train in the capable hands of Mr. Jeff Gerstmann.

[@PuuberZ]

I'd love to see Jeff play Densha De Go one day.

[@gillty]

As a Tokyo resident this is terrifying.

[@KyleS.1987]

The menu music is a nice riff on "Being Boring" by the Pet Shop Boys.

[@fisk0]

The Stockholm local traffic company had a Stockholm subway simulator like this at their railway museum back in the early 90s, I presume it was also based on the simulator for their actual drivers. Would love to see its VHS footage getting digitised and released in this form. I assume most railway companies made these video based simulations back in the day.

[@muffinzetta3670]

jeff is secretly a train otaku

[@GreatistheWorld]

[nods sagely] kill the headlights and put it in neutral

[@boochacca]

Thank you for driving.

[@MrGreatWesternRailwayProductio]

I hope there will be Train Sim World 4: Yamanote Line

[@twistedoperator4422]

Shout out to the late great Ryan Davis.

[@iloveyou11700]

oh bro, u need to set the monitor 60fps

[@Engineer_Eric_59]

Thanks for posting. is this game worth a buy? Thank you.

[@TerrySilverhand]

Makes me feel like watching Chemical Brothers Star Guitar music video

[@RedFoxRoaming]

Why didnt they use a 360 degrees cam

[@stuartgrimson8903]

That menu music!!!

[@cooljammer00]

It's no densha de go, esp with no novelty controller, but it's okay

[@Loggins1969]

How do you know how much speed you can use?

[@Achoohorsey]

I hate when video games prevent me from having fun

[@ResidentNEMES1S]

How fast do you have to go to make it fly?

[@Jackolantern298]

Game engine or video recording? Looks realistic

[@chiablo]

Choo choo!

[@s71402san]

People think it's 3D graphics but it's actually a real, live video. BVE was much better because it actually had 3D models and renders.変な日本野郎…

[@Unknown_2711]

bro this is real life THATS AMAZING HOLI

[@dmoro6]

God's last name is not 'damit'

[@AlexSuter]

Bergen to Olso train on KZbin. So good. Watched it through more times than I should probably admit.

[@cybersub4693]

Do they serve peanuts on a train?

[@aegisfate117]

All types of legumes are represented

[@cybersub4693]

@@aegisfate117 but what about peanuts?

[@MrKlawUK]

oh no. Can I play this with a hotas?no station muzak no buy though sorry

[@akikumagai1018]

If you don't set the refresh rate of your PC monitor to 60Hz, it will be a rollercoaster-like train.

[@medicalguru1924]

its not games its video player
