The trailer was literally just vertical slice. A year ago Ponderosa in the test demo was literally an oval layout. They,re still working on Colorado map and modeling a few more engines these past months. They haven't even talked about track laying or multiplayer yet. There's no way CoS is coming out next year
Railroader is the GOAT. If a map creator and more-extensive mod support are added, it has the potential to completely surpass Train Simulator and Trainz, especially if there’s an Island of Sodor map and a buttload of Thomas & Friends engines and rolling stock.
Some good games on the list. If anyone likes Art of the Rail / Railroad Corporation 2 type games, another one to take a look at is the recently released Train World. You lay track yourself and try to optimize your rail network for the delivery of both passengers and freight. Maps are absolutely huge, up to about 200 km x 200 km. A good game for people who enjoyed, say, Transport Fever 2 but focused on trains over trucks/boats/planes and wanted more space on the map.
We’ve seen it and done it all. Nothing stands out. Derail Valley is the most realistic out there for actually doing your own jobs and getting paid plus the realism is second to none! The next best is Railroader. It’s running your own railroad, building bridges to connect and expand and collect waybills and then run them to the interchanges along with repairing oiling your trains (that you buy) al well as fill them with water/coal. Everything is as per a real pioneering railway would be. Superb, both of them.
You forgot about TRAIN DRIVER 2 where you can go online and drive train or be rail manager. It has serwers in polish and english. You drive in chosen train where other drivers are real and rail managers too.
*Railroader is what every train simulator for the past 15 years should have been, running trains with an actual objective and gameplay loop. The Dovetail and Trainz franchises are pathetic failures for failing to be what Railroader is, something that every other simulator subgenre already is.*
I like the look of islands and trains and the idea of a relaxing game is nice. However my ADHD doesn't allow me to relax and sadly i need some sort of goal as i'm unlikely to be able to set one for myself
I am not sure I can buy another Train sim after playing Derail Valley, they just released a new huge patch that made it even better than it was, If you don't exceed it there is really no need for me to bother, the game is that good, there is little need for something new or different. I have railroaders on my wishlist but I really do not bother with Early Access titles unless they look like they they are currently the greatest Railroad sim out there...see above. :) Times of Progress seems interesting, I'll keep a look on that one
Може ли? Да се направи видео игра но с влакове подобна на унази в Google Play на име Retro Garage с контроли като в Train and Rail yard simulator и качество като в Trainz 12
Derail valley will eventually become the best by a mile, once passenger trains and AI is added to the game. The entire game on VR is the best way to play a train sim.
this is a list of UP AND COMING traing games which will see development or release in the near future. NOT a list of every train game ever. railroads online is a game which has been out and established for quite some time.
@dol-idris derail valley has been around "out" for a while as well. Both games are in Early Access which means they haven't officially released. To include 1 and not the other seems like a strange choice. Railroads Online has yet to fully release as it's still in development. Could that not be considered "up and coming" ?
Unfair, for steam you get all the good stuff. And for modern operation you have more routes and engines in train sim classic and train sim world than my country ever had, although my country has a bigger railway network and passenger flow than the entire US does. Worse than that is the fact that US train feels like the least engaging train experience I ever had with mostly long, flat, single rail network with very few services to see and yet it gets more love because in fact there is many developers that comes from the US.
there were atleast 2 games here in a list of up and coming games which are extremely detailed and realistic american railroad simulators. not to mention the amount of content and games available for american outline trains that's already available. there are times when north america even seems almost over represented in the train sim scene, as well as other rail enthusiast scenes. the big ones, trainz, TSC and TSW, have SO MUCH american content. i can promise that american train fans are eating well.
@@boxcarwillies1603 It's an early access release, Railroader and Derail Valley also have been released yet they were featured here, and RRO is about get a Desert Map and come to consoles which are my reasons for being hyped for it, Derail Valley and Railroader aren't on consoles so I'm not that hyped for them.
@@MoleculeMind7 Don't YOU Dare Tell Me what to Say!! It's NOT Dead Garbage and is coming to consoles with a new map I'm Excited About! It's a free country and I WILL Say what I Want! Don't like it you can F**k off!!
Does any make a simulator that lets you build realistic tracks, scenery and stuff over long distances and then drive a train on them? All the realistic ones shown are all predetermined so that you have to follow someone else's idea of a rail network.
@@QuorkQTar From the studio 346 FAQ, "Century of Steam is focused on creating a 3ft American narrow gauge railroad sim with historical equipment built between 1869 and 1969." Too bad no highspeed electric or even diesel and only narrow gauge to boot. Wonder if they would consider making a diesel or electric version too. Not mentioned is if any in game objects can be user created i.e. make you own track, engines, railcars, buildings, etc.
@@martink8080 I'm following the game's development closely and I can tell you, citing the monthly dev vlogs as sources, that track laying actually is a core functionality of the game. Also diesel engines will definitely be in the game. I'm not sure if they only mentioned it or also showed one already, but they are definitely announced since they are a part of 3 ft gauge history of the steam era, too. You don't make own engines, but you can customise them to an astonishingly fine degree. In one dev vlog they calculated the number of unique combinations and the number cam out ridiculously high. Don't remember the exact number, but many orders of magnitude more than any train game will ever see in user numbers :D
@@QuorkQTar Thanks for the info. I watched one of their recent Q&A sessions and was impressed with the work so far. They mentioned that the Engine they use, Unreal Engine 5, doesn't lend itself very well to user mods, too bad. Having experienced things like Transport Fever 2, it's the mods that make it interesting and possible for everyone to make it their own experience, rather than someone else's idea of what would be fun. Speaking of TF2, do you know if CoS will have an unlimited (or almost) area to travel / work in or more like TF2, a small landscape that forces a very heavy distance compression with growing towns literally bumping into one another. Is DEM data used or is it more of a local landscaping process?
@@martink8080 they are premade maps in different sizes. I think they mentioned a ride across the map could still take an hour depending on how you lay your track (how you tackle gradients etc.). I really hope they decide to tackle mod support despite the technical difficulties. Most games in the railway sector have won TONS by having mods. I'm not sure what you mean about the landscape? But I'm pretty certain terraforming (cuts etc) is on the feature list.
I recommend all of them Derail valley - the game will give you a lot of fun and emotions for its price
You’ve got a lot of nerve thinking Century of Steam is coming out next year
Its nice to know that neither of the ideas I have for train games have been made yet.
I'm interested in what they are
@@justinratcliffe947 Its a secret!
awww, thank you so much for putting us on this list
I am soooooooooooooooooo Hyped for the Century of Steam release!!!
Hyce made it!, he and his game are in the big leagues now!
The ES&DT will ride again!
@@TheOutlaw2.0well. Maybe not ride, other than in the bosses truck to the piss cup
Bug fixes and technical updates after release will tell the Real Truth about it and the Developers, Great looks isn't anything to go by at this moment
Daily reminder, he is a very big troublemaker
@@kadenrobinson7067 that is a Bullshit lie!!
Times of progress look super promising. Reminds of the early Railroad Tycoon games.
Century of steam looks nice but I think it wil be 2026/2027 earliest release.
No, watch @Hyce he posts updates hes a dev of the game
@ that is the exact reason why I think it will be 2026/2027. Unless they go Early access

I can recommend simrail it an ever expanding game, the updates are slow but they are are packed and polished.
6:15 is pronounced probably like "Mah-shee-nah" - this if from Polish Maszyna = English machine

If you think the steam effects and boiler pressure sim in Century of Steam is cool, you should watch some of the Devlogs!
Im excited as hell for Century Of Steam
Railroads Online: guess I don't exist
I like the look of islands and trains and the idea of a relaxing game is nice. However my ADHD doesn't allow me to relax and sadly i need some sort of goal as i'm unlikely to be able to set one for myself
in "Maszyna" the sz sounds simmilar to sh as in shop

don't take a drink when this guy says ''realistic'' or ''realism''. you will die
I'm not sure Century of Steam will be out this or next year though :(
I like trains.
I like trains
Can you do some train games that I can get on my iPad please i’m a huge train fan
super,,
Derail valley is goat...best physics and judging by their development roadmap a lot nore goodness to come
Train Mechanic Simulator is delayed and will release in 2025..
Does that mean derail Valley is coming to console
most of these are already out...
Може ли? Да се направи видео игра но с влакове подобна на унази в Google Play на име Retro Garage с контроли като в Train and Rail yard simulator и качество като в Trainz 12
Maszyna can be read as "Masheena" (It means Machine). Welcome to Eastern Europe. ))
Tf you mean Eastern Europe?
Sz is Maszyna is the sh sound.
I play already ❤❤❤
I miss Railroads Online. Should definitely be in the list!
I'm surprised it wasn't on this list too. With all the improvements over the last 8 months it absolutely should have been.
IMHO Derail Valley is the best train simulator game as for now. With official multiplayer mode it would be even more perfect
Didn't mention railroad's online
Run8 is far superior to any other train sim. But, Century of Steam looks like it'll be cool, and, Railroader is fun.
The First one Looks Like railroads online or am I wrong?
It is being developed by a previous RRO dev who didn't agree with how the game was developing
Derail valley will eventually become the best by a mile, once passenger trains and AI is added to the game. The entire game on VR is the best way to play a train sim.
No mention of Railroads Online? Its a game with trains and isn't that what this list is?

@captainchaos6628 i figured you'd go there. Yes, i found it very odd that those two were included as well because they've been out for years.
Mobile?
Which of these games on ps5?
Europe looks to be well represented. Must not be any programmers that know USA railroads.
