    I was excited for the whole Rush Hour package, but what a dissapointment was this to watch. Are you sure it's next-gen? Because it looks like we just jumped 10 years back in time..

    Lots of low res textures (And look very clean most of the time), low polygon objects. Many objects (95%) are stacked or placed nice and tidy. No trash, dirt etc. etc. anywhere. Overall lighting is poor, and hardly any dynamic shadows (if any) also parralax occlusion mapping is gone on trackbeds.

    TSW in general always looks very clean - most likely because train companies do not like seeing their property or locos looking dirty.

    Also, streams almost always make the game look worse than it actually is. The Series X/PS5 are equivalent (almost) to PC 'High' Graphics. If that's a jump back in time, I don't know what is.

    *shrug* I disagree, I thought it looked quite nice. edit: I did notice the parallax mapping issue on the ballast though. Hope that does get fixed for release.

    It seemed fine to me considering it was on a console with the equivalent of the PC's high detail settings.

    I did as I have for sometime think it looks way too clinical and clean. I’d like to see more moving scenery still, diggers etc. Loved the sound and looking forward to playing it

    It was a nice change on Cathcart, where especially in underpasses there was some trash and grafitti. A bunch of little touches and it did a whole lot for it.
