I find your posts providing me with useful information and a nice insight in the technical side. I always appreciate them, even when I do not always agree with them.
Lemme warm up your baby bottle. This is exactly the kind of tone I was talking about in my post. Good Lord. Are you 12? It's about the way you're saying it, not what you're saying.
I will push back on the "UE5 eliminates stutter" claims, as someone with 15 UE5 games currently installed, on both Console and PC, that I have played mostly to completion. The first three years of UE5 are full to the brim with games highly criticised, and rightly so, for their stuttering issues. The first year alone, Epic had to be constantly working on a bunch of tweaks to the engine to try to prioritise the matter. They'd made a bunch of significant alterations to the engine which reduced it, but didn't wholly eliminate it. On the matter of tree rendering, that's still a sticky point in UE5, and we didn't see much improvement in making it more efficient without using nanite to obfuscate the billboarding, until CDPR switched from their proprietary engine to UE5 and realised they needed to craft a new foliage rendering system for The Witcher 4 if they were going to use UE5 for it.
You do get support from me and others here. We're just not as loud and pervasive as those who need to shout down or belittle your reality checks to save face. By all means take a break when it becomes frustrating, but when the reality checks stop coming entirely, the only winners are the ones who fought them.
Bluntly, I think DTG are obfuscating. A lot of the graphical differences between TSW and Running Train are not technical in nature.
I hope not Maik, as I for one value your input here. I do hope you’ll be back when it’s time for a deep dive into the forthcoming TSG steam route. Which is undoubtedly on many players’ Day One shopping list.
I’ve not bought any “Early Access” games before. I know there are updates coming but if I want the full game when it eventually comes out, will I need to buy it again or will this come as an automatic update? Is buying early access like a kickstarter?
Once you purchase the Early Access version, you won't have to shell out for the final version. You just have to wait for updates. However, it's best to read what Steam says about Early Access versions. It's clearly explained.
Update. Consider it like you buying a house that has not yet been finished. The problem is, games can be cancelled for various reasons, which doesn't happen often, but it does happen. You will only have to pay separately for DLC, if there are any.
Early access is a gamble. I bought Train Crew and Hakodate Tram, both also early access Japanese titles. Train Crew has had some work done on it, but the tram game seems largely abandoned and wasn't very good. If you have the hardware then Running Train definitely worth a punt I would say.
Thanks everybody. I hadn’t seen the Steam Early access page. I read the notes on the game page and it wasn’t clear from that. I think I might give it a chance at the price and hope it gets improvements over time.
