11:52 Stefan Geiger said in an interview that the dynamic ground works all over the map on every type of ground and the intensity of it depends on what type of ground it is. Also you sadly cannot get stuck.

The flooded fields when driving in them looks fake needs more like foam or muddy mixture happening behind the rear wheels and randomly on the surface or reacting to wind etc. The rest of the game looks great I must admit.

Wait, why would NPC lipsync be necesarry? Are we getting story missions? Or at least having to go up to local farmers for contracts and having a cued conversation with them?

Their really adding the littlre details in 25. Really looking forwards

Holy crap after multiple years we have the start of something that was achievable in 2013, Thanks giants 🤣 Im gonna be honest it is a start but im still kinda supprised / dissapointed that they haven't been able to get further with dynamic ground when its been a possible thing for a long time, like Agricultural sim 2013 had dynamic ground and a quite good one to. But hey atleast were getting somewhere and getting a lof of new things and details in 2025 so defiantly looking forward to it non the less

Hi Daggerwin. When I follow your affiliate link it is for the US (top right corner). When I change it to Norway or any other country, your affiliate code disappears from the address bar. Don't know if it's supposed to behave like this. Just wanted to let you know. Thumbs up everyone so Daggerwin sees this! He needs his affiliates to work properly.

If ground deformation have no impact in soil compaction it's a nice feature, but like fog, it looks nice but it doesn't make the gameplay any deeper.

Displacement mapping in 3d programming does indeed mean 3d changes. It does mean the geometry changes and not just texture shading like bump mapping.

It's not the "wake" that's missing, it's the water splashing effect when tires kick it up. The wake is there and at the front most point where water touches the wheels in the direction of travel.

17:20 im thinking perhaps the ai traffic will overtake you when you're driving if you're going quite slow/ have stopped on the road, because they had that feature in fs23 so I'm wondering if they were kinda testing it there!

12:32 a Giants dev said that the ground deformation will be not permanent, it will behave the same as the tire marks and they will disappear, so if you leave the game and come back it will not be there

The problem is all the machines sound the same like vacuum cleaners they need to improve on that in reality when your machine is working hard or going uphill engine sound change and the turbocharger is more Audible and that also cause more visible exhaust fumes.

Cant wait!!!!

Oh wow, you are really fired up :)

Thanks for the information. This is definitely my favorite farming simulator creator

Can’t wait

With the mud physics on the wheels and mucking up the roads, I hope we can use the road sweeping attachments. UK farmers are required to clean any roads they use that they muck.

it looks gorgeous, but I wonder if the tree branches still freak out and have the awkward "hit boxes" when you are harvesting lumber that has been present since FS15

Ground deformation reminds me of driving in deep snow on FS22

Thank for the fs25 updates. I am constantly checking your channel for it.

When it comes to lighting, the Fendt 728 that's on ModHub rn has really interesting lights. It's the only tractor that I know of whose low beams get blocked by the front implement. If you have a weight on the front, it will cast a shadow. Might be something similar to what we are going to see in FS25

Need to see that ground deformation in action

It's the tiny new details what makes this game way better than any big changes. I'd rather have these new weather effects and better graphics than a load of new tractors and stuff. Small things makes all the difference

The extra storage space requirements for FS22 did not have enough new/better gameplay over FS19 to be worth it. And I'm kinda assuming the same applies to FS25. Gonna be 70 GB and just be a bit more visual prettyness which won't be worth the price when you already have FS19. Though I may be the weird one that put more stock in gameplay than in pretty pictures.

I hope that tree branches don’t phase through vehicles and took anymore. It would be nice if they could have some kind of effect, possibly also damaging paint on vehicles.

Looks great but when the tractor drive in the water it looks like it float on top of the water because the waves are too big. They should make the waves smaller or the tractor more down in the water.

Thanks for the updates

💪💪😃😃grass is now changing colour during fall and winter. That's great which is common where i am from. Cool

Nice video Daggerwin, looking forward to your series on both maps.

Hello! Very Nice!

Thanks for making this video and sharing it with us all. Very informative and in depth of all the cool new features

I like your comment about variety in the weather. Maybe we can get some flashing right before thunder. Imagine a thunderstorm at night? Thanks for the amazing breakdown!

I'm chilling in my bed watching this right now and I'm excited for fs25

Hey there, concerning the ground deformation: The slide says 'displacement mapping' which is a technique in 3D rendering to display different heights on a planar surface. It is basically an additional texture layered on the grounds texture, that tells the polygons on which height to be. In this case it seems that it also influences physics, I dont know in which way tho. Because normally you would have a different, invisible geometry for collision with the player and vehicles with a much lower polygon count. Collisions with lots of polygons are very hardware intensive. My guess is that the collision geometry is at the lowest point of the deformable ground. The depth theoratically is 'limitless' (the engine will have limits) but the devs will have put a limit in, because there is only so much deformation a mesh can do before looking odd. IF digging of some sorts will be possible, this technique would only allow digging down or up and not sideways, so no selfmade caves :(

As a mid 40s man i play fs22 a fair bit and i have tonsay 22 and now 25 blow my mind. I come from an age where we had games like space invaders and worm. Keep up the great work

One thing about the 'ground deformation' is I heard it resets back when you leave the game otherwise the save would be too big to contain the information or something

Really looking forward to Farming simulator 25 every single time they come out with a new game I keep thinking to myself how are they going to improve on this game and they do it every single time

Hello daggerwin I've watched you since 2021

When I saw the tyre slide at first, I thought it was showing that tyre tread wears out and that we would have to buy new tyres over time. Thought it would have been a nice idea.

Really hope we may get some Scottish maps after a few months or a year after its been released as something we don't get often, but looks amazing can't wait!

I have heard that the ground deformation is going to be like the tire marks, they disappear after some time.

Dagger i can't wait for fs25

I think The Modders will come up with some amazing mods with these new features like Terrain Deformation.

One thing I hope is better is the phyisics because fs22 phyisics are not good 😂

One of the things I want most on this game is higher terrain resolution

Just realized we haven't seen the LOD ring either? Maybe we still will if you're not running a beast?

Looking forward to some British maps.

That night time video looks like summat outta resident evil

i hope the fog mask can be turned off,

Really looking forward to see some real gameplay of all this. Only thing not looking good is the tractor in the water. I hope we can get stuck in mud or just have alot of slip at least

your posting left and right good job its hard

I just hope they bring the ability to knock the NPC vehicles off the road again 😂😂

Hey man been watching you for around 6 years now I love all ur videos, more co op I beg it’s amazing love your vids man ❤

fully expecting the console version to be mostly identical to fs22 but i am very happy to see they are making an effort to at least make it look different than the last entry. hopefully animals will also look more realistic.

I really hope digging comes as a dlc

In fs22 i would keep my tractors dirty because I think it look more realistic and less toy like but in fs25 I will probably clean my tractors more to see the nice new look of the clear coat and reflections on the tractor

You should watch Farm Sim Guy's video. He was at the con and talked to some staff. They went over some of the improvements. Especially involving the mud: you can't get stuck, but tire marks show. I wonder if a leveler could smooth out ruts? Or a modder use tires interactions as a plow?

I think its much more important to get better physics than lip sync and shadows. I want to use an excavator and get stuck 😊

To edit the course of a helper, do you need to edit the mod or will it change its course automaticly

The paper boats must be collectables, there was one behind the old man in emotions screenshots

I hope they make the contracts more realistic. Instead of a certain amount for the whole job the farmer offers. U should get paid per hour but if u don't get the job done in a certain time and begin at a starting time the farmer will ask u for less jobs something like that and a job wel done will give u more jobs

Wounder if there will be localized weather. So that if it's raining on your barley field to the other side of the map and it's still sunshine

The game is looking beautiful so far. I really wish they would've made it so we could get stuck in mud or snow, but overall, big improvements.

Has anybody else seen the Lincoln Smith guy on TikTok that makes drinks. He sounds just like Daggerwin…

ask them to fix the bales with parkinsons

the ground deformation is that still just a texture with altered physics like in 22? or is it actually altering the model of the ground? cause plowed fields in 22 have like simulated bumps and stuff even tho its just a flat texture, so im curious if its the same here or if its actually like "3d fields"if you can call em that

There's no wake because there is no motor pushing water from a motor, like a boat or jet ski. The motor and hull normally is way causes a wake.

if you want to have an idea of what "ground deformation" looks like. go play red dead redemption 2. go to the town of valentine. and then just watch what happens to the ground if carriages drive by in the dry and in the wet. also how do you fill the ruts back in? its the giants engine..... you just change the field state with a plow or cultivator.

I really sincerely hope they fix the tractor physics because it's so rigid

I gave my doubts about the cloud shadows actually being cast, we'll see

I think this is the first version that’s actually worth the upgrade since a very long time!

Are you telling me it took them like 14 games to finally add terrain deformation in a farming game?

that dirt is going to be similar to snow

I wonder if heavier machines are going to leave deeper deformations in the ground than light machines

I personaly think fs22 has been the best yet for mods. Its a pity there isnt a way to have backward compatibility for mods in fs25

I'm surprised he skipped over 16:25, it's such a great feature. Mods will now allow us to edit around roads properly, without need to go out of the game and change things in the editor

To me this still feels like fs22 with better fog and lightning. But it's basically a Rice DLC. Not yet hyped to pre-order. I want a feel of a totally game changer but let's wait n see.

ppl expecting too much out of "terrain deformation", this is not it. its glorified tyretracks. its not Snowrunner. still, its there, and its moddable, meaning if it applies to all of the grid and not just fields modders can do alot with it. so, a compromise, BUT a not so bad one for now.

Hi

You think Daggerwin is getting early acces and shows us a playthrough before release?

I just want to see proper fieldwork, like ploughing, cultivating and seeding... i want to have clear picture on how the new "dynamic ground" will act!

They are trying to make you feel very bad for cutting any trees lol

Hopefully they add when it storms the sky is actually cloudy and dark clouds and stuff. And you can get in a vehicle while somebody is already in it in multiplayer

I'm hoping that the awnings and such will cast shadows as it looks weird @3:16

I hope the old man there can be someone you hire to help on the farm rather then a random different helper each time. Like an actual character on the farm.

I was soo hoping they would add in workers to other feilds that you dont own to add to the emerstion

It would be nice to see ai farmers actually working in their fields. The game feels so lonely in SP

I just hope the game will look this great on consoles as well...

I would like to see in fs25 ai workers for grapes and olives I feel it would make it more fun and able to grow more fields of them.

Wet rain? Wow, what will they think of next 😅

I WANT TO GET STUCK!

Survival Roleplay would be amazing with lip sync!

It would be nice if farming had mud runner terrain but not as much mud like near water to be more

Id like mechanical brake downs or realistic damage such as stones braking a window

does that mean no ring any more? good

I’m early today

Now I get why its only coming to the new consoles (and PC obviously).

Ah yes I love wet rain

Have you heard or seen anything relating to wildlife?

Lip sync with audio for the facial animations makes me think there might be a story mode
