NEW IMAGES - US Map for Farming Simulator 25 Released

[@Sigmagnat650]

If the Route 66 sign on the cafe is anything to go by, there's 4 options that could kind of fit the terrain: Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, and (Southeast) Kansas. I could be reading too much into things on the picture with the river but that looks like a grain barge- those are used on the Mississippi River and could narrow it down to Missouri or Illinois.

[@thibb223]

I'm looking at eastern Oklahoma or southern Missouri. Explains the terrain an river. If the map is near us 66

[@cyberry813]

Really hope it's Oklahoma, state hasn't gotten much love in farm sim

[@Sigmagnat650]

I wouldn't mind Oklahoma even if every time I've ever been there it's been a sweltering inferno riddled with enough allergens to cripple a mammoth.

[@foldableboy1484]

It's not Oklahoma, south eastern Oklahoma doesn't have deep enough soil to grow crops so it's mostly cattle, all the crops in Oklahoma are on the west side which is somewhat arid and is very flat so I don't think it's Oklahoma, Illinois makes since but it definitely takes inspiration from southern states, mostly central Tennessee, southern Missouri, and Louisiana. Kansas is flat just like Oklahoma, (excluding southeast Oklahoma which has mountains) so it's not Kansas, I believe the route 66 sign is there for decoration a doesn't inspire the geography.

[@daandejong2964]

@@Sigmagnat650 y’all are thinking way too hard. Giants never bases their maps of real life locations

Kermit on the Farm sim show said the first one was a construction mission.

[@IslandCrawler22]

I wonder if they will add more building element-type gameplay as they did with the Silverrun Forest map.

[@davidvanmol5199]

Growing and harvesting rice and transporting it on the Mississippi would be awesome. 😁 Hopefully they get rid of the boring square fields. 👍

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

That would be cool!

[@animatiV9]

It's a pity they didn't implement better Ambient Occlusion. The vegetation (mostly bushes) still looks flat. The current shading does not add depth to the vegetation (no shaded areas inside the vegetation model). You will still need to use reshade.

[@SinkyYT]

Agreed. It looks like they've mainly been working on the fog effects this time.

[@farmert7959]

I noticed on the pic of the boats that there was a river barge in view. The large silo in the background had an auger pipe over the river as to load the barge. 🤔 As i live fairly close to the Mississippi river it looked very familiar to me. Would be cool if we could use the barge like we do trains. 😎 Thanks for the review, FSG!

[@krispyk.1786]

Respectfully, I really love the less contrasty look of the game, it really does finally look like a refined and dialed in FS19- I never bought FS22 because it looked to plastic, but this finally brings that FS17 “grunge” again 😅😅😅

[@NuclearSalmon]

i like the barge idea. Mississippi, Ohio River, Erie Canal, and Columbia River all have barges run on them as well

[@pyrowarhorse9738]

First pic is an old fashion grain elevator. Used for temp storage to load onto trains. Mostly phased out for newer style silos by the late 90's (at least here in Canada) I'm sure there was the odd one in service longer, but I have not even seen one recently. Mostly have been demolished. I remember running around them as a kid throwing grain that leaked out at my brothers lol.

[@therealparanormal1981]

I hope they do better snow and rain this time it was rubbish in fs 22 going through building roofs and trackers roofs

[@a-human-interface4991]

Given that they're adding rice I'd say Arkansas is a pretty good candidate for where the map is located. Rice is big in Arkansas and California. Arkansas is an interesting state topographically. On one hand, you've got a lot of rolling Hills leading into the Ozarks and then on the other on the Eastern side of the state you've got the Mississippi River flood plane which is extremely fertile and flat as a board.

[@ImDirtyDan96]

I have a feeling this is indeed a map based off of a state in the southern US, and my guess is the Missouri/Arkansas border...an area where rice is grown...and along the Mississippi River, hence the barges. Wet rice is grown here in the states, so I do indeed think that rice farming is just not going to be limited to the Asian map.

[@macauleyholmes6403]

I hope the ground deformation is like dynamic ground but not dynamic ground Cattle and crops is a good example, watch how tractor leaves a rut when driving over the soil etc

[@ryanlawrence8305]

I seriously doubt it

[@BobbyDerBraumeister]

C&C was a absolute bad example. It was way to static.

[@FarmerFS25]

Nah I think all the ground deformation is gonna be like some combination of mods currently in FS22, like the mud mod, slip destroys fields, dirt particles and some on the fly texture change similar to the potato ridges etc. to give the illusion of ground deformation but when you press F4 for wire grid view the ground will still be just flat.

[@firewalker1372]

I’d be super excited if we can get peanuts as a crop 😂.

[@SinkyYT]

And peas.

[@chriswhitehouse4192]

I have mine pre ordered on steam with seasons pass cant wait

[@fredlocks_]

well if those pictures are anything to go by they have definitely raised the bar with the textures and lighting. looks really nice

[@Ice_Berge_00]

Definitely get a Mississippi river feel from the pics, central US maybe southern Midwest area

[@xLisranda]

That's a grain elevator for loading trains. And its in exactly the condition that 80% of the (still in service) grain elevators are here in Manitoba. Except ours usually have big scorched areas from fires that they've barely survived as well.

I hope there gameplay improves. I'm playing the game based on realism in operating a farm. If I want to see real trees and grass I'll go outside. Fs19 seasons mod was the best and I hope it's implemented in it.

[@brayton6683]

I hope all of the maps in FS25 will be much more bigger compared to FS22 maps atleast 1.25 times bigger ....

[@jerrywise1572]

if rice and irrigation then wounder if there will be cranberry fields also

[@AJDeere]

2:35 that might just be the border of the map instead of terrain. Also I wouldn't be so worried about the sky, most players don't stare up there anyways 😅

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Haha, good point, once you get into the game you forget about that stuff

[@BobbyDerBraumeister]

We can clearly see some graphical improvements. I dont understand those people who are upset that is isn't UE5 graphics etc. and i could swear those would be the First people who are angry on giants that the game runs on their PC bad.

[@isabellebesancon]

If they go UE5 you can say goodbye to mods. Modders are used to the FS engine.

[@BobbyDerBraumeister]

@@isabellebesancon Yes, Giants engine is making modding so easy.

[@Steve-pw2op]

Let's cut to the chase, besides obviously wanting better graphics I want to see the ability to design maps from scratch without having to use the Giants editor. If we do not have the ability to design maps then this game really is no different from farming simulator 22 with the exception of better graphics so it's really nothing to get excited over. Oh now almost forgot obviously hopefully the physics drastically improves Not at the physics were bad in FS 22 they just need to get better obviously.

[@jaxson6796]

Rain is likely going to play a bigger role than ever. If they add a full crash system right off the bat expect it to be a bit buggy.

[@johnrambo5616]

So glad they are leaving last gen behind!

[@jasongardiner5965]

I'm hoping they include the NEXAT modular harvester / seeder / sprayer and slurry sprayer that is almost at production stage to the game. Almonds and tree nuts would be a welcome addition that would include a load of specialized machinery to harvest the nuts ie shakers, nut harvesters, runner trucks, sweepers and elevators (have a vested interest as I work on an almond orchard in NSW Australia)

[@John_Deere_Kenworth]

[@chrislee3364]

What about the block system? Are we going to get more blocks to enable us to get more items for the maps? Maybe get rid of the block system altogether?

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Do you mean the limit that's on console? hopefully it will be optimized to allow more stuff, they did it for FS22, so it would be good if it was done again. I shall ask Giants

[@chrislee3364]

@@TheFarmSimGuy yes I mean at the moment on console it's only 4400, but if you have a large map, it'll take more time transporting your machinery than to do the jo. So in theory you could have the stuff you need close by in each corners of the map aswell as one for the middle, not forgetting the transportation of products.

[@Guser0]

Top review as always :) Nice work!

[@denisrichard58]

Was anything mentioned about the AI? Hopefully it will be a bit smarter than a goldfish this time.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Haha, nothing yet but I’ll be surprised if there aren’t improcements

[@mobias7]

It definitely looks nicer than FS22. The softness of the lighting is far better. I'm holding off passing more judgement until we see and hear a lot more. I remember FS22 did look better at launch than the first screen shots. I really want to see better weather in FS25 though. I want to see proper variety to the clouds, and certainly no more raining out of a mostly blue sky. I also agree with others that there is a slight FS17 vibe to it, which is a good thing.

[@IwanTimmermans]

4x4 maps this time?

[@laloehernandez2476]

It's a shame that I only changed the number from 22 to 25, more of the same, just compare the images with the 22. If it weren't for the mods, this game would already be history.

[@TheFarmSimGuy]

Yes all they’ve done is update the logo 🙄

[@philotgamesworth]

I hope that with the new water mechanic we get to see even more new crops, like cranberries. ;D

Hopefully, the game will include generators such as aggregates and electric cables for, for example, portable lights and other devices that need electricity.

[@EastonHB27]

I don’t know why, but I’m getting strong FS17 vibes from these pictures. I think it’s a mix of the ground textures and dimmer lighting that make it look similar

[@needsmoredrums]

I’m betting the silo is part of the construction missions. You probably will need to rebuild it to activate a sell point to transport goods via rail or barge. The foliage looks great though! So far, I’m guessing the map won’t be as open and flat as I would’ve hoped for a US map, but it should still be fun nonetheless and it would be cool to have various construction type missions to give us something to work towards.

[@kodabear_46]

[@Medieval1-1]

Very disappointed Giants still doesnt seem to realize it's not right to think they're going to keep using this engine for the rest of our lives. At this point I'm fully convinced Farming Sim 2035, 45 ect.... will be on this same engine and they'll still advertise it as "upgraded"

[@coolfarmer]

[@Nero_1069]

[@92ford13]

It looks pretty similar to fs22, more crisp. But I’m more worried about the features and physics. I’m concerned on what the dynamic ground is. I’m expecting it’s not at all what anybody is hoping it’s going to be. It’ll probably be more like the terra farm mod for fs22, for construction missions. But I hope not, I hope it’ll be actual soil physics that will affect your equipment. I joined the hype for fs22, I will not be on the hype train for fs25. Not until we really see something worth while.

[@SinkyYT]

I agree it will not be what we are hoping for. Knowing Giants their idea of dynamic ground will just be the vehicles leaving a more 3D looking track in the soil, not actually us being able to dig holes or plough ruts.

I dunno, I'm running 22 on a 4090 on full settings and I don't see much of a difference with the lighting and textures. It's a very small difference if anything. I'm not sure if the vibe of this one is going to make me want to buy it. Farming rice really doesn't interest me at all, nor does the marshy-looking maps they're showing. I kind of feel like this game is more an upgrade for the people still playing 19 than the ones playing 22.

[@Caennuck]

That's cause there isn't a difference. I guarantee you, the highlight features will be the volumetric fog and however they've faked "ground deformation" ... Kinda done being ripped off by these guys.

[@sniggs101]

This is just my opinion and certainly not a proffessional one. The textures and detail that has been put in to the scenery is amazing but I'm noticing the same level of details are kind of lacking on the usable machinery. The tractors appear too blocky and stand out too much, the way the tyres just roll over the ground instead of actually compress under load or changes in surface giving an impression of over inflated tyres. It takes away that feeling of immersion somewhat. The lighting on the machinery just doesn't feel as detailed compared to foliage and surroundings. I am still really impressed by the improvements over fs22 but it feels Giants have focused so much on certain aspects that they unintentionally neglected others.
