Hello, Andre.
Just few days ago, Phil Escue have spotted the other video, with some gushing-positive young man's introduction:

So brief discussion took place here on ET.

"Gushing-Positive" is being kind Weter. I kept thinking of a Budweiser advert!

"Physics based mutiplayer."

This does not bode well from my perspective. It was tried with Railroads Online, but the problem is that when the railroad gets built out to a significant degree and longer trains start running, all those physics calculations keeping each individual locomotive and car on the track starts to bog down the game and cause very weird (see: leaping around) behavior on the clientside. It can quickly become difficult to operate the throttle or brake levers when the locomotive is bucking around in ways that even a professional bull rider would pass on.
Not only that, to my knowledge the group behind this game was at one time involved with Railroads Online, but pulled some shady stuff and left in such a way as to smear the main RRO developer on their way out the door. I also have heard that they promised some individuals that they would pay them for modeling work, but never followed through. I'm not thrilled by this one, nor by the people behind it. I intend to sit this one out.

IMO, from the side of graphic, it reminds computer-drawn 3D cartoon, or walking computer game. Maybe color gamma, maybe something other is quite far from lifelike impression.

Truth be told, of all the rail sims on the horizon, Simrail is probably the one to watch. They're already working on North American content for it.

I feel like I'd be more interested in this if it were standard gauge. Otherwise it's just RRO, The Second One. I fully understand why the massive overlap with RRO exists but that doesn't change that they are screaming right toward oversaturation of a very specific niche.
