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 🙏
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No no no! Don't shake the train.
Train! meet rider

3D was a mistake.
The FMV is shockingly well done. Probably the best use of FMV I've ever seen in a game.
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.
Police Quest SWAT takes issue with this comment.
Ongakukan work always uses FMV train recording, they definitely knew what were they doing when recording these!

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

I can't stress enough how incredible the music are in this game. HOLY SHIT!
The game is produced by one of japans most sucsessful jazz musicians. He was the keyboard player in the band ”Casiopea”
I would watch every episode of a "Jeff plays Densha de Go!"

Strange mp4s. It must be in the metadata? And i wonder what would happen if you replaced it with a movie MP4 lol.
I'm here on the JR EAST train in the capable hands of Mr. Jeff Gerstmann.

As a Tokyo resident this is terrifying.
Enjoy-enjoy your gaming. Knock knock open up the door it's real.
Densha de go vibes 100%. That series was always interesting but happy to see someone else’s take on the fmv train sim.
bro this is real life THATS AMAZING HOLI
jeff is secretly a train otaku
I'd love to see Jeff play Densha De Go one day.

The menu music is a nice riff on "Being Boring" by the Pet Shop Boys.
[nods sagely] kill the headlights and put it in neutral
Thank you for driving.
Why didnt they use a 360 degrees cam
Thanks for posting. is this game worth a buy? Thank you.
oh bro, u need to set the monitor 60fps
I hope there will be Train Sim World 4: Yamanote Line
Amazing game is on my list!!
Game engine or video recording? Looks realistic
Shout out to the late great Ryan Davis.
Makes me feel like watching Chemical Brothers Star Guitar music video
It's no densha de go, esp with no novelty controller, but it's okay
I hate when video games prevent me from having fun
How do you know how much speed you can use?
That menu music!!!
How fast do you have to go to make it fly?
Choo choo!
Bergen to Olso train on TH-cam. So good. Watched it through more times than I should probably admit.
God's last name is not 'damit'
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…
If you don't set the refresh rate of your PC monitor to 60Hz, it will be a rollercoaster-like train.
Do they serve peanuts on a train?
All types of legumes are represented
@@aegisfate117 but what about peanuts?
oh no. Can I play this with a hotas?no station muzak no buy though sorry
