    Just had a watch and it looks good - but at 29 seconds it looks like the platforms are still clipping at Penn station... It may just be perspective - but can this be checked please?

    Looks absolutely amazing. Alex is there going to be a loyalty discount for Xbox users?

    Zooming into the photo. It might be the perspective. I don't see any clipping at all in the platforms. So it's very likely the perspective giving off the illusion that it's clipping

    No, The discount is only for PC Steam 10% off and if as a PC player you bought LIRR on the PC previously another 10% off. SO 20% in total. Console users get nothing.

    Alright it looks great so far. Especially the M9 but I do have some feedback I like to offer however. Obviously this should have been a free upgrade OR heavily discounted for those who had the original LIRR, but then again SEHS had ALSO through the same thing( Not to mention didn't include any new trains along with it. Just reworked 395 and 375 ALONG with the 465 now included.

    Positives
    The scenery looks a damn site better than the original, but maintained the familiar feel of OG LIRR
    The M9 Looks great, the PIS is Spot On
    The sounds are decent, the M9 I can't judge for myself however, but the M7 is using the Harlem Line sounds which is good

    Negatives
    The M9s headlights look SLIGHTLY off, but this is something you can't tell with a naked eye.
    The M3 isn't included by default

    This list is a work in progress I will add or adjust this during the release article and my review

    Like it. Sounds seem spot on. I feel my Steam wallet waking from a deep sleep.
    Show me more.

    I think that's just how the ai drives. Remember the antelope first look also had that issue with the f125 but it turned out fine

    Same here. Initially I was very sceptical but this looks like a worthy remaster. It’s a shame the discount wasn’t a bit more for existing owners but it is what it is. I definitely sniff a preorder coming on here and I will be getting this rather than Semmeringbahn.

    So far, it looks great. I 2nd that, the M9 sounds in TSW are identical to how it sounds in real life. I am definitely pre-ordering this route.

    Looks great imo, most likely a day 1 purchase for me :)

    People like me coming in here looking for useful critiques prior to making a purchase may be curious to know why you think it's a rip-off.
