    Ahh yes the save, not seen nor heard of a fix. Shame as it ruins like you say a decent feature of TSW.

    Something like Power Wash Simulator manages it by being slop that isn't a simulator.
    Asian train simulators on consoles already exist. You appear to not know much about the market.

    Comparable to TSW and on console? The debate was what would be "competition to TSW."

    Power washer simulator is bloody ace, it even has a train in it ;), So definitely not slop, and definitely a simulator because it's the water physics it's simulating, not the visual appearance of reality......

    I tried a couple of the Ongakukan games and literally all you are doing is driving the video clip. So always the same time of day and weather. Same trains passing at the same location and if you’re not matching the speed at which the clip was shot, looks odd as do slow motion people on adjacent roads or platforms, with their faces blotted out. They are also very expensive and each route consumes an inordinate amount of HD space.

    Best Japanese driving games were the old Densha de Go particularly on the PlayStation. But they are mostly long gone now and due to regional coding you either had to buy a Japanese PS1 or 2 to run them on, or perform surgery on your western PS and use a tool and disc in order to play the game - even with a legitimate copy bought through an import specialist.

    Then there was BVE but I lost touch with the original version which for the west at least was kind of superseded by OpenBVE. But it was all freeware and while there were some excellent routes such as Joetsu Border or the superb work of Mr Goku, there was also a fair amount of tat with basic track and stations laid on flat terrain.

    Rather expensive though, might be some used copies hanging around on evilbay. Importantly, no region lock, but also no English localisation of course

    Why is it horifically out of scale with everything else?

    This game is a right laugh, still have my copy - and a pink PS2 Slim with matching pink controllers, DTG Matt would be proud!
