For those of you that don't know about it, you can download OpenTTD and play a fan-made and improved version of Transport Tycoon Deluxe in full HD glory.

http://www.openttd.org/en/

You do need to use the internal download software to grab the modules (industries and transport options) that you want and also to provide some AI players. It is very easy, but if you don't know that you need to do that, the game will seem very sparse.

I love open TTD. If you do a little digging, you can find a mod that essentially quadruples the amount and types of freight. Dozens of different resource chains, including some level 4 chains! It can get fantastically complex, much more so than in Open TTD, which was more complex by far than Transportation Tycoon.

Glad this came up again....will see how the release goes, no preorder for me.  Seems like only value of the pre order is to get a soundtrack and so e kind of graphic.

I missed that pre-order offer, probably still won't pre-order, but it does tempt me a bit.  Loved the music for RRT3.  :smitten: I'd need to hear (and like) some more samples for TF for it to push me over the edge.

I'll likely end up getting it, nothing like playing with trains:)  But does seem like a puzzling pre order offer, no price discount or anything really that significant, besides if your into the soundtrack and poster.  Therefore, really nothing for me to personally benefit from out of the gate......my wallet actually thanks me since if there was a good offer I would have likely purchased already:)

Doesn't seem to be much chatter at the official forums at the game site, always makes me nervous when things are quiet during the development process.

Would like to see more of how you run an empire...if it's like RTII I'd seriously consider buying this one.

This.

I keep RT2:Platinum installed on my laptop.  Great management game.

...releases tomorrow.  Just Trains* has a pre-order deal for $26.99 (Steam key) but its probably only good for a few more hours (since they're based in the United Kingdom).  I know I said I wasn't going to pre-order, but am very tempted right now. :-\

* same folks as Just Flight

Railroad Tycoon II is strategic, with scenarios and campaigns.

This game is tactical, with a sandbox mode. Not much depth to it at all..and I fear that this lack of depth will limit the re-playability. Fun for a week, then on to something else.

Even with the discount, I'll be holding off until there are some player's feedback....seems like it can be interesting, but haven't seen enough to see if it will have staying power.

Anybody purchase?  Seems like the game is taken a beating in the steam forums as being buggy and unfinished.

I managed to keep my wallet closed and held off getting it and from the comments on the Steam forum am glad I did.

I just want a new railroad tycoon that is of the quality of game play of the original or RRT2.

Yes! RRT2 with tunnels would do nicely.  O0

Damn. Birthday was two days ago, and have money to spend. This is on my wishlist, this and Graviteam Tactics: Operation Star. Is the wargame any good? I like the genre a lot..and I should have picked up the Kharkov version some time ago. I like the Combat Mission series as well..own almost all of them.

Is anyone playing Train Fever? I am tempted to pull the trigger on it and give it a try, but I would like to hear if any of you have tried it and liked it.
