JR East (real) distributes games on Steam! Extraordinary official railway operation sim JR East Train Simulator September 20 to early access start

The East Japan Railway has released a Steam store page of JR East Train Simulator developed by a music museum, which is good at railway simulators.

This work is a railway operation simulator produced by a JR East driver actually used in training. A high-definition video taken in a live-action photo is used, so you can drive from the same perspective as a driver. Since the sounds of vehicles and tracks are actually recorded, you can experience a realistic sound without discomfort even if you play an active driver.

In addition, the instrument panel such as a speedometer is displayed in real time in real time according to the operation and speed, as in the actual vehicle, and the display is different for each vehicle because it is faithfully reproduced to the original vehicle. It is made to feel particular.

Early access period is scheduled for 2-3 months. Currently, there are only two lines, from Takasaki to Kuragano (about 4.4 km) on the Yachika Line (Kiha 110 series) and the Keihin Tohoku Line (E233 series 1000 series) Minamito Omiya and Urawa (about 5 minutes 2.7 km). It is possible to drive, but in the official version, the route that can be operated will change, and the DLC will allow long-distance section operation. It will also be supported by external controllers. The price rises when it becomes an official version.

JR East Train Simulator will be distributed early on September 20 for PC (Steam).
