Railroad Corporation 2 - launch gameplay

[@tigonologdring9189]

Still haven't found one of these games that gave the same satisfaction of running your first TGV across Europe to bring in the big money that the original Railroads game did in the early 90s. On the pure railway/railroad front that is.

[@colonelfailure]

I know exactly what you mean. The scale felt immense.

[@miecz8316]

this game reminds me the most of railroad tycoon 2, which was my favourite of them all

[@Riotlight]

Cant believe that all these years on on one can even make anything that remotely comes close to Railroad Tycoon 3.

[@james_robnett]

Or Railroad Tycoon 2 ... but yeah, I've dusted RT3 off a few times in the past just to replay a bit.

[@Charles_Anthony]

RT3 is legendary.

[@enforcerxr8848]

I still play the Amiga500 version.

[@playmotogaming]

RT2 is legendary, RT3 is just good 😅. But agreed, this is a modern version of RT2/3 and looks pretty good. 😊

[@jazeroth322]

I can't get it to play on my newest comp :( any ideas?

[@01jaredg]

We need glass to make our booze. Alright make a 40 foot embankment and block off the river. You mean a dam? No just block the entire river it’ll be fine.

[@Strafe2011]

Transport Tycoon Deluxe - My 2nd favourite game ever made and I still play it 28 years after buying it (very first game I bought too).

[@pete104242]

i am quite fond of trains.

[@jamesknauer540]

1871... they called it The Year Without Summer. Snow in flippin' July....

[@gabrielromancena4788]

They are clearly in the southern hemisphere (?)

[@Deathraven693]

Interesting comments about 1st one vs this one at the end, the 1st one on steam is £30, this one is £25.

[@CreatorOfWorlds]

👍👍 for the recap of the various genre games in the end of the video. It wasn’t mentioned, but Mashinky as a bit of a niche game i also like for various reasons.

[@colonelfailure]

Good call on Mashinky. I played it very early in and it's definitely in the same group.

[@timjerrom7173]

Yay Trains! "Choooo Choooo"

[@aviano72]

Yes sir, trains and The Colonel, best YT videos 👏😁

[@tboneisgaming]

It has potential. I like the fact towns supply goods as well as demand them. I think I would wait for the game to develop further before making a purchase.

[@jonathanbair523]

I agree, I am going to wait till everything is unlocked and all works...

[@gordon861]

It's never going to release, I just looked at some of my other Early Access train stuff, Mashinky was released in 2018, Voxel Tycoon was 2021, and I am sure there are others that I didn't buy into. Early Access is becoming a joke, too many game never arrive. I expect we'll be better off waiting for Transport Fever 3 as they have a history of actually delivering.

[@reaperxxi]

Excited to see this! Id been looking at it since i saw it on steam

[@SonesBen]

I don't know for sure, but I don't think the bakery actually produces bread. Any production building usually shows the conversion icons with a little gear between them, but the Bakery just shows an icon for increased flour demand. So I think the idea is that you build the Bakery to increase demand for the flour that you are delivering, increasing your profits, and the Bakery is just making products that are sold locally. The Bread Factory, by contrast, shows the production chain icons, so it will produce bread that you can then transport and sell elsewhere.

[@rogermusson4110]

I can't see this displacing Railway Empire 2. The new DLC cover India and is really nice. So - you don't get buses and aircraft, but I'm what Myles na Gopaleen would call a "steam man". I want to see steam locos and I don't care about the rest.

[@CreatorOfWorlds]

Seeing this video gives me the impression that RE1/2 will continue for a while to be my genre favourite. I do hope that somebody soon will take up the gauntlet and make a true modern spiritual successor to RRT3 including the dynamic free flowing economy model. I’d actually also like to see a modern remake of Transport Giant which i just repurchased on GOG for my potato pc.

[@ashuggtube]

It's a train video! 🚂

[@darrelllarue5877]

thanks as always

[@benjamincorey6259]

It has to be said about the company owning a church; 'I owe my soul to the company store'

[@tvrubenjo4010]

I play a lot of Railway Empire 2 lately. I can do choo choo, follow the train and change camera from the train better then tsf2. So is the Colonel talking about Empire 1? The only thing about Empires 2 I find the use of warehouses. In TSF2 you can drop everything on the platform and bring it further on the map making good railway networks. A warehouse in Railway Empires 2 is just a limited to 6 or 8 goods, but never enough for all the goods on the map. It's more challenging, but a little bit tedious.

[@colmortimer1066]

This looks promising...i never got into the first one, I think I confused it with Railroad Empire, because there are just too many similarly named games, and I though Railway empire was a bit cheesy version of Railroad Tycoon. I really like the track building here, where you go point by point but then can back up a few points as needed...the number of times I built a bit of track to get to the end, and decided to rip out the last couple of bits is staggering. You build horrible junctions and I rip out the last few bits of track I just put down....we are who we are. :)

[@MrGeneralScar]

But can you make a loco's front bogey go on 1 track while the back bogey goes on the parrallel track? That is one area where Derail Valley has this one stumped. I still remember back to that Derail Valley episode, very funny stuff.

[@seanhenry2921]

Looks intriguing as a game.

[@JohnnyDrizzle]

"Choo choo" and "whoop whoop" and all that kinda caper

[@xianeli8473]

and quite possibly "Chugga Chugga"

[@rodda1121]

The 'magical' train stations and spawning of wagons complete kills the immersion for me. I would not have fun playing this game.

[@erikguillot5763]

Agree. A typical station for a starting railroad in the 1800s would look like a shack next to a track. Not a two story brick building and roofed track in the smallest of villages or industries... it's in these details that a new game could make a difference.

[@dabeamer42]

It's SKah - NECK - Tah - Dee. Never been there myself, but it's in upstate New York state somewhere. I think.

[@gg.youlubeatube6249]

It is nice try. I am glad there is some competition to Transport Fever. This game is definately more focuse at gameplay and bussines. Also multiplayer is huge temptation and seasons (if they work). However, it is apparent that RailRoad2 game need a lot of work.

[@christheDevoniantrucker]

Great review. We all know you love early access 🤣

[@billrowe8718]

Corporate church? Is this how the La’Vaquid Sainthood will end up in Saturday’s live stream? I have to tune in to find out 😊

[@skullydujeu7672]

17:33 Bread from a bakery!? Blasphemy, it comes from a bread factory of course. Next thing you'll be trying to convince us milk comes from a cow.

[@gregoru98]

Definitely could use a roundabout.

[@timjerrom7173]

Or a helix, but that's a TF thing! ;) hahaha.

[@smada36]

What were the little crossed hammers at the bottom of the info sheet on the Bread Factory? Was that another "Doesn't arrive until Tuesday"?

[@sirdettloff7089]

You spoke about some train games from the past. What do you think about Sweet Transit?

[@colonelfailure]

It left me cold, unfortunately. Felt rather more like a planning puzzle than a network builder.

[@sirdettloff7089]

@@colonelfailure Oh really? That's a pity.😥. I love the game.😊.

[@tastyw0rm]

@2:47 "assworks" at Wichita Falls.. teehee

[@TheOneTrueGriswel]

Fun times!

[@zsolthb]

3:22 Well, you never use the elevation map in Transport Fever 2, so why the sudden bother?

[@colonelfailure]

"Never" isn't true. TpF is visually distinctive enough that I tend not to need it.

[@boki1693]

I poked a few buttons in my day and ended up married for almost 40 years now. 😢😢😢

[@gordon861]

Yep another early access that I would probably play for a few hours and then leave in my library for a year and forget to come back to. So I'll probably leave it for now and look later, maybe? In the meantime, Big Ambitions have done another major update with factories, so will take another look at that.

[@DSchrubbe]

Corporate-owned church? Blessed are the shareholders, for they shall inherit the earnings.

[@mjay7019]

One and done for the algorithm or more to follow? Hoping for more ofc

[@colonelfailure]

One and done because a second video gets barely a third of the views. Nowt to do with the algorithm, everything to do with the viewers.

[@Benjamin.Jamin.]

Thing is. If you have to muck around with signals and passing loops why not just play TF2. I really really really want a successor to Railroad Tycoon, a strategic railroad business sim which left all the busy work behind. I played that game to death. Otherwise, I'll stick with TF2. It's oh so pretty.

[@EdzCreationz]

Yeah but there isn't any trains in team fortress 2 and I like trains :(

[@davidtaylor6124]

RRT-1 did have signals and you could make things vastly more efficient with them. But it did abstract away the track complexity within stations, and trains automatically ran on a free piece of double track. I think it struck the right balance.

[@rockyrowlands3652]

Did it cost £110 Billion like HS2?

[@florin1813]

I had high expectations about this game ...I had.... sadge!

[@somebody220100]

Schenectady is pronounced as “skin-neck-ti-tee”

[@deadwolf2978]

More tchoo tchoo!❤❤

[@twistedpixel756]

maybe i missed it; is there a stock market?

[@colonelfailure]

Not that I noticed, but this mission map didn't have opponents, so it might only appear on competitive maps.

Another rabbit hole simulator :(

[@philipbossy4834]

I see the improved the track laying, that was the biggest failure of the original. If the rest is similar it will be a fun game.

[@Reynard_11]

28:49 😆

[@Jakeurb8ty82]

Always these games with their overly restrictive cameras. I want to take screenshots and help sell your game man!

[@gordon861]

Another reason to pass on this game, they released DLC on day one of the Early Access. The DLC is not just cosmetic either, it's an extra 50% 'exclusive managers with their skills' (which I think is a pretty crap systems personally) but if they are going to take the pi$$ at this stage what will come later, more features that should be in the game held back for even more DLC?

[@HDGAMING360]

Hayyyyyy ..... Why would you drink booze made out the glass 😂 5 minutes later ohhh yea Carry on

[@dommsevanschnitzel2732]

Never got into this kind of game (apart from TPF 1 and 2) but certainly am interested. But "Early Access" really turns me off. Gonna watch your videos from the first one (and maybe some others) now and then decide if I put it on my list for the next sale ^^
