Rail Simulator took to the Rails publicly for the first time last week
at the annual European Games Convention at Leipzig and announced a
working partnership with Deutsche Bahn.
The first playable version of
the game was exhibited on the EA Games and Microsoft Games for Windows
stands which attracted 180k consumers, and was presented in the
Business Lounge to worldwide press!
Rail Simulator featured the
Deutsche Bahn's BR101 German train and in-game screenshots! The
previously announced German route has been developed with the support
of Deutsche Bahn, who are the leading railway and logistics operator in
Germany, and now Rail Simulator's German official German partner!
Rail
Simulator is one of a very exclusive range of Windows Vista launch
titles, fully supported by Microsoft! Rail Simulator will make use of
many of the new usability and graphics features of Vista further
enhancing the user experience.
And of course, Rail Simulator's
very first screenshots were captured! Jonathan Newth, MD for Kuju's
Rail Simulator, commented "We're delighted to be able to release our
first set of Rail Simulator screenshots and with Rail Simulator's first
major outing at the Leipzig Games Convention! Most of the shots show
the Deutsche Bahn 101 which is the feature engine for our German Hagen
“ Siegen route “ but the route is a demonstration route which we have
developed for Leipzig."
Rail Simulator will offer the
opportunity for players to take charge of steam, diesel and electric
trains on real routes in the UK and Germany. Challenging and fun
gameplay will even enable players to design their own ideal journey
routes. Rail Simulator will become the gold standard rail simulation
title and will fully support the creation of add-on third party content.
