Comments on: Train Fever now available for pre-order /2014/07/train-fever-now-available-for-pre-order/ Official Website (archived) Wed, 30 Dec 2020 10:17:01 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: Lee C /2014/07/train-fever-now-available-for-pre-order/#comment-201174 Fri, 05 Sep 2014 00:03:14 +0000 /?p=2812#comment-201174 This looked interesting, until I saw the “Mandatory Steam requirement”. I guess it’s not just piracy that results in lost sales, forcing people to use Steam can have the same effect… shame.

The other thing I was going to mention before seeing that, was where are the system requirements on the website? You can’t really expect people to blind buy a game, when they have no idea what system they require… unless I have missed it of course, but I think I’ve been through every page.

Guys, I really really wanna buy your game, but why cant I buy it with my normal Paypal account? Even on steam? I am always getting redirected to credit card! I dont have a credit card. I cant have one. So please, why cant I just buy it like everything else on the net? :/

Indeed, I do notice a slight lack of variety in both environment and weather. Maybe they already got around to it and we don’t see it yet in the latest video, or maybe these aspects need some work. Even so, Nothing’s gonna stop me 🙂

The only thing I’m worried about is lack of variety.

if I understand this correctly I would need to make a steam account (and have an active internet connection) before I could even install this game? I tend to buy boxed versions of games so I don’t need to go online and can reinstall the game regardless of the fact that some of the parties involved may no longer excist. I understand the need for protection of your game, but still…

Signals are so essential for this game! I hope it will be able to mod them to have signals for specific countries and regions. :O)

I know it is hard to wait for something, but I am confident that the Devs want to present a polished and working game to the public. So I try to be patient and will wait for the official release. The video is great and looks absolutely promising to me. I can understand the impatience, but considering they are working since years on it, it should be possible to wait for those few weeks to pass by. :O)

And even after release, development will not stop. There will be still lots of additional features to implement. I personally would like to see road traffic lights and road signs after I saw the video.

I think, the release will not be the end, but the just beginning! :O)

Exactly. It’s like they want to keep the upcoming release of the game a secret. I think there are a lot of people who would like to spread the word about the game, but how should they do if there is no recent content? The easiest way for the devs would be to lift the nda of the beta and let the community handle it…

Hey Jeff, there’s a german “Checkliste” video for train fever by a third party, it was uploaded a few hours ago. I agree about the marketing, would have liked to see more vids or even early access for pre-order customers, instead of closed beta + NDA. It’s not like developers have anything to hide if we can trust tomdotio’s Checkliste. 🙂 It probably slows development because of required community support, but looking at the development of Factorio, I like having a wide range of opinions about the game in various states of development to decide wheter or not to buy it.

But I am very baffled that I can’t find any previews or a recent video of this game. Somehow I feel you screwed up on the marketing side…
