Densha De GO! Hashirou Yamanote-Sen - PS4/Switch

[saif]

I was going to say that it is a lot easier than from when the last game came out (2006?) as Google Translate on the TV screen is pretty simple via the camera now. My Japanese is pretty rusty but the spoken stuff might be OK. I imagine that there will be much more spoken now.

Mine has not been dispatched

[saif]

My order has been updated from processing.


Nooooooooooooo!
Waiting for Stock We have ordered your item from a local or overseas supplier and are waiting for it to be delivered to our warehouse.

[DeathAdder]

Mine is...in the middle of the 13GB install. Hope there isn't a huge update after that.

[saif]

What format have people gone for? Are there any reviews out yet?

I wonder what the differences are between switch/PS4/PSVR.

[DeathAdder]

Switch isn't out yet, I don't think. I got my PS4 version from Amazon but went to Bic Camera in my lunch hour, and they didn't have any Switch ones.

The tutorial is quite easy to follow - the buttons are shown and it usually makes it clear what you have to do. I got a B on my first mission. Lost points for going too fast and being about 11 seconds late.

It looks really nice.

This guy.

I'm so jealous. Please keep the impressions coming.

I've gone through this video on YouTube and translated the tutorial pop-ups and general HUD. Here's the video and below are the translations and their times. I think it should help those of us (including me) who are going in getting a bit overwhelmed. It's really not too stressful. Looks fun and lovely to be fair.

HUD guide

G Sensor (bottom left corner) indicates the current force level. This meter will raise if you brake too fast causing discomfort to your passengers. Encourages smoother safer driving. Tell that to this guy who be coming into the station like Silverstreak!

Above the G Sensor is the throttle/brake indicator. Depending on your chose control method, you'll use the left stick to push through the throttle levels and pull the stick down to pass through neutral and the brake levels. The L1 button looks like it may change the type of stick mode i.e. stepping through the throttle/brake levels with each push/pull or change to push and hold method to slip through the levels (analog). L2 engages the full brake. This would cause passenger worry if engaged at a pretty fast speed.




Tutorial pop-ups from above video explained/translated

High quality post right there.

Looking forward to you guys’ impressions now

[saif]

They finally have it in stock for me but have not shipped it. This is very much "National Express East Coast" service.

[hudson]

Praying for you.

I think mine is on a 2-man raft somewhere in the Indian Ocean.

[saif]

"holidays are coming, holidays are coming"

Shipped. Now to ensure my VR setup is ready!

[hudson]

Looks like mine has reached the UK and is en route to me via Royal Mail.

Guys, postage updates, trains, planes and rafts. Are you not entertained?
