As a real life Railroader and Run8 player no other sim is like it. while the learning curve is steeper then most and it really doesn't hold your hand most players are willing to give you pointers on how best to handle your train. not to mention its a part of a minority of sims that do multiplayer with is a big selling point. the realistic Physics act very similar to real life, minus a couple of items. But there are plenty of servers to get into Major ones such as the Depot or smaller lesser known communities. all in all is a very great sim if you don't care for how shiny the paint looks.

[@BluGames]

Appreciate you stopping by and stay safe out there

[@PR_7]

Awesome to see some Run8 content! I think you hit the nail on the head - definitely a sandbox experience. I like to think of it less as a train simulator, and more of a railroading simulator.

[@BluGames]

“Railroad Simulator” yes thats it!

[@NSHorseheadSD70]

A really nice synopsis of the game. It's nice to see a bigger streamer get into it and help spread the word.

[@docholliday1811]

My friend you are awesome with this news. I have been into train sims for awhile and I was a bit excited when I watched your video about Run 8. Thank you!

[@BluGames]

Thank you so much

[@damderrick]

Yea I had to buy all the trainset DLC as well and all the routes. The generic skins and locomotives was driving me crazy. The CSX southeast is my favorite region

[@stephenjones8928]

Thanks for the video. It may be expensive in total (and they never have sales) but the prices are unchanged since Run 8's inception despite inflation over 12 years. The developers (part of, or associated with, 3D Train Stuff) have been around since at least 2001 when MS Train Simulator released.

[@BluGames]

Wow!!

[@m.naufalhafizh8750]

Really nice content about Run8 Simulator! Can you make the tutorial video for it? like what is the essential things that the new player need to know since we all know that Run8 has steeper learning curve, so it could help the new player to learn about Run8. Love your content!

[@BluGames]

Great suggestion. I will work on this

[@m.naufalhafizh8750]

@@BluGames Great! Can't wait to see that, Blu!😁

[@jeromewalker6758]

Been on Run 8 since 2020 and LOVE it!!! CSX Southeast is what I play since I am familiar with the territory

[@RealNoGear]

*sends video to train obsessed brother with intent* Awesome video Blu! I was hoping you would do a video on this sim! Thanks for the insight!

[@BluGames]

Hope your bro likes it

[@Paco_Gaepedores]

Thank you for introducing us to Run 8 woohoo ❤

[@BluGames]

Very welcome

[@ScootsTrains]

Ha! Saw you watching me in Bakersfield yesterday. Nice video.

[@BluGames]

Haha yea that was you hanging on the back of the grain car lol

[@frontrowkenny6455]

For sure hope to see you do more videos on this

[@BluGames]

Thanks Kenny

[@RazielKainus]

ZUSI is also super-realistic, from what I heard, with its "professional version" being used as THE actual simulator for Deutsche Bahn drivers :D

[@michlo3393]

Came here to say this. Zusi IMO has a very slight edge over Run8. It's not a sandbox, everything is "canned" but it's not a cheap scenario-based sim, it's quite immersive. As long as you can understand German that is lol

[@Br-bs1xe]

This will probably be the realistic American train simulator, but nothing comes close to ZUSI 3 from Germany. It is a training simulator because you can buy it as a hobby version and it has the same level of realism as the pro version.

[@ElementAVGM]

you might’ve put me on bro ngl lmao. you gotta do a video on the florida route!

[@BluGames]

Lol if u decide to dive in just let me know. U know i got you

[@The737pilot26]

Please do a multiplayer video I’m looking to buy this game but I am not sure what servers I would play how to do it or anything awesome video.

[@BluGames]

Working on it. Should be out soon

[@The737pilot26]

@@BluGames awesome man

[@umbreonpokemon8190]

im more interested in passenger ops specifically Amtrak. Thats the only reason I have never tried to play Run8 as it looks like its more geared to Freight

[@BluGames]

I would personally not recommend it for passenger ops. But it does have all the amtrak and metrolinl stations, if you want to do that

[@JackFruh]

I used to be a passenger guy on TSW - I liked the shorter scenarios and the constant stop and start gave me something to "do". Enter Run8 - the sandbox nature means you're not tied down to a set scenario, there's ALWAYS something to do, and freight, especially yard work and locals, is incredibly satisfying to work. I now prefer it to amtrak.

[@JackFruh]

Great Video!

[@SternLX]

I would love Run 8 even more if they'd add the UP Barstow to Las Vegas division.

[@BluGames]

The current track gets pretty close to it but no it doesnt include vegas

[@StormHunter71]

Need some east coast love though

[@BluGames]

Yea i agree

[@Deg7704]

Are you able to click the controls like TSW move the throttle automatic break dynamic break with the mouse or just keyboard controls?

[@BluGames]

Yes u can

[@Deg7704]

@@BluGamesawesome definitely sold now games right up my alley thanks for the help

[@pimpked]

I’m having a hard time with the install. Everything is blue.

[@BluGames]

I would completely delete everything and start over honestly. Installer should take care of everything.

[@yeasue1]

Can you buy this for a console exbox. Just wondering 🤔

[@BluGames]

No you cant

[@drewharman1690]

Do you have the Seligman Sub?

[@htesnewobhobbies]

I take it this is a PC game?

[@BluGames]

Yep

[@jonspikes4935]

Will it be available for Ps5

[@BluGames]

No sorry

[@Asher1223-qq6qb]

Ps4

[@BluGames]

No

[@alexdebrew3132]

What year/decade is the game set in?

[@Rusty_Buttons]

2000's when the game came out, but there is no line really. There is stuff that was built in real life as recently as 2020 on the routes and the devs said that they take liberties. Like adding back abandoned/removed track if it fits right and such as mentioned in thier Los Angeles (San Bernardino Sub) DLC files.

[@SIRWILLIAM596]

How much is Run 8

[@BluGames]

I actualy say how much and where to get it in the second half of this video

[@deaddevilxd8473]

i like this game video but i cannot buy this its cost a lot for me and my parents never let me buy this game

[@western-m1a2]

I hope it comes to console

[@everettrailfan]

The devs have no intention of porting it to console

[@SolaraFr]

My dumbass thiught it would train sim world 4💀

[@BluGames]

Hahaha

[@MuscleLineRailfan]

Fellow "Run8er" here, the only issue with the Run8 series as a whole is that it's almost always a cash grab unfortunately other than that it's fine...

[@BluGames]

Yea i have to agree

[@BSRC318]

Well somebody has to make the content for the sim, it cant always be free. But look at how much you get in return...

[@StormHunter71]

@@BSRC318 Exactly

[@MuscleLineRailfan]

@@BSRC318 Literally just push out new DLCs, people are always suggesting really good engines, wtf is the point of pushing out a new game completely with the exact same things when you can push out things that would *actually* sell?
