I think FS needs a total overhaul of the physics, The tractors are once again bricks that move and steer like bricks. No feel to the character movement no enter, exit animation. If they would take a step forward in evolving the fs series to a newer standard I think it would bring new life to the existing fans and bring alot of new people into the fs community

The main reason I want dynamic ground is because it would add so much realism to the game by itself, I want my dirt driveway to be so full of old tractor and truck tracks and ruts that I have to grab my skidsteer out the shed and spend the afternoon grading my driveway. Want real 4x4 where you can see the tractors struggling in mud and spinning in the mud, having to be pulled out. More complex dirt and gravel, not just the same gravel print copied and pasted over and over to make a “yard”

my poor 1050ti is gonna love this

I saw the Giants gameplay yesterday, and I thought it was a modpack for FS22. Then I saw it was an official upload, and my smile faded. This looks and drives like FS17 should've.

I just wish they had better "crop physics." We've had the "paintbrush" implements for so long and crappy indie games in the genre have dynamic fields for years now, as best I can tell from the rice planting this is the same as 22 and prior. They also avoided showing pallet handling (intentionally?), my biggest gripe with the "old" engine 19 and 22 used. Real time reflections and shadow sound nice, but likely represent the "upgrade or die" mindset many modern devs have when it comes to optimization; still, I agree it is a necessary (and long overdue) update to the visuals. The fog is nice, but my eye is on the improved lighting, I hope they get that right as working at night is just miserable in 22 prior without some ridiculous lamps (due to the awful lighting distance and complete lack of light bounce, moonlight, or auto exposure). Overall, then, this is starting to feel a lot like 22 was to 19. A coat of fresh paint, pull in a few mods as new features, and a whole lot of "icing" (implements, tractors, maps, new crop types that could all be done using mods). As the price point--and DLC numbers--continues to rise, I find myself voting with my wallet. My personal take is I'm looking for more simulation in this "simulator" and this might mark two generations in a row where we don't get that. I hope they announce more about the improved game engine's physics and simulation soon, but nothing I see right now had convinced me to preorder.

I wouldn't have caught the stars in the night clip, good eye. Happy for you Daggerwin! I'm excited for it too.

I hope that water rippling is everywhere

That in cab shot in the New Holland combine with those screens really made me think there may be some sort of camera system too i hope so!

looks nice, just hope they will give the animals some love as well. Like free placing pastures for crop rotation ect

If anyone is vaguely interested, the pronunciation of Iseki (at least, in Japan where I've lived for quite a long time) is I as in igloo SE as in sector KI as in king There is no stress on any of the letters in the Japanese alphabet. There are loads of rice paddies near my house. Really looking forward to trying it out on FS25.

i literally just finished watching the Livestream, you're right on schedule XD

The guy driving the Japan rice planter has Lego hair. 😂

Vintage survival about to go crazy🔥

Great video, thanks for all of the info. Really looking forward to the game!

i wonder if we get new animations for harvesters and not just improved fs 22 animations

It's amazing how they keep making FS games but they haven't changed since FS11. Yes they look better with higher quality textures and some small realistic touches here and there like crops or grass bending around you or your wheels and such or tire "physics" but the actual physics of the game are the same since its damn inception. Vehicles still feel stiff and wierd,steering is still too snappy to the point of yet again probably needing mods to fix it,camera probably the same. I genuinely think FS25 is just a higher texture resolution FS22 which itself was a higher texture resolution FS version of past ones XD

I wonder how the field flooding will work for rice

Daggerwin mentioned a “new” rpm gauge, i thought Fs22 (or maybe even fs19) introduced that.

oooh, new Massey Ferguson Tractor. Like the sound of that. I always have a MF on my farms as I learned Tractor driving on an old 135 back in 89. So have a fondness for Massey Ferguson.

I can't wait

Watch the head on the NH combine when it goes into the rice patty. It auto-adjusts the height to not dig into the ground!

Cmon daggerwin, this has to be a lie! Long time subscriber, returning to your content and instantly satisfied with your content. Keep it up man!

For anyone asking for ground deformation, in the video FS uploaded on their official yt page, you can clearly see tractor driving though a bumpy field - never seen before, so it looks like its a feature, that hasn't been revealed yet. GPS is coming too! Looking forward to the actual gameplay :D

I can’t wait for this me and my friend are going to preorder the season, pass with the game🎉🎉

You’re fast!

I'm waiting to see what they really mean by "Ground deformation", it is going to determine whether this game will be worth buying or if it's just more of the same with a prettier facade

Feels still very close to 22. Also American rice is not planted in big squares. But I do like the new water stuff. Everything else feels sane ole tho. Hope to be surprised.

I'm in ! Money is ready.

The fog, especially at night, has an almost horror game feel to it 😂

keep up the good content dag!

14:15 "There is now an animation for steaming manure.." Hands-down the best case for pre-order I've ever come across.. 😎

😮😮 beautiful 🤩 Awesome Video Brother ❤❤

Great video as always. I noticed those stars as well. I think they are very underrated. They will add a ton to night farming for sure!

OMG, Stars? I'm really happy about that. All in all, I think FS 25 looks gorgeous and this video makes me quite excited to buy it. Thank you Daggerwin!

I’m thinking, I wouldn’t get my hopes up, but how would you convert another field that is not dipped down to dipped down and vice Versa? The only answer pretty much is digging it more. That may mean we could get dynamic ground as we wanted. But then again they could just have certain fields as rice fields, but I may be on to something.

Everything looks great just hope they did better with the rain and storms least make the sky full of clouds and add lighting for more imersion would be awesome . big fan @daggerwin keep up the great work.

Looks pretty awesome.

Looks amazing. Can't wait for it

I can't wait. 🙂

Love the video Dagg

I'm going to have to upgrade my potato in order to play this day one!

Awesome stuff. Love your videos. If I may offer a slight pronunciation tip though: Japanese names are actually super straightforward because their language operates with individual syllables rather than letter combinations like English, so every syllable is pronounced the same no matter where it appears in the word, and all of their vowels are always the same. So in this case in Iseki it's I (as in Igloo) - Se (as in set) and Ki (as in key). It's no bother, keep up the great content and pronounce things however you like to but just in case you are interested. I find Japanese names super fun because once you know how they handle vowels and syllables, everything follows the rules and there's no ambiguity like English. Can't wait to see your FS 25 play throughs!

1 feature I think would be quite cool is if you were in single player and wanted to say for example fertilise your field or spray for example instead of just hiring a working to do this create a contract job for another farmer to come and do the job for you. So if you don’t have a fert spreader or sprayer someone can come in and do it for you

sounds like there is a lot more ambience sounds throughout with wildlife sounds and what sounded like was louder vehicles/horns in the first clip

Can’t wait!

I’m hyped for this. It’s cool that gps is coming to base game. I just had a thought though. Since it’s coming to consoles how will you activate it? Because on pc you need a keyboard. I wonder what kind of features will it have. In real life you can save field information and it’ll turn and raise and lower implements. I’m hoping for at least a snapping feature where it’ll snap back to the line when you release the steering wheel.

The water effects are amazing 😮

the mist reminds me of fs15 which is kinda nice, it adds so much to the mood

Just pre ordered. I'm really looking forward to it!

Wow, the rice farming is really cool. I'm hoping I can grow peppers either in a huge field or green house. 🌶

Shows what they can do when they drop old gen consoles.

Bro I swear daggerwin loves the trees😂😂

This looks incredible 😮 Can’t wait to see

I think fs 25 looks great. Looking forward to its release. :)

Really happy to see denser crops and better looking grass texture, hoping that the grass will be much taller too :D But the one thing I would really like as a feature, being able to feed cattle only silage again! hate that you cant do it in fs22, and that feed consumption goes up :)

Cant wait for this, put 100 hours into fs22 within first month of playing 😂🙈same again this time round lol

The best updates ever :)

In India we use a Kubota harvester for harvesting rice 😊...love to see your content from the last 4 years and happy to see Giants bring rice as a crop type which is widely used in Asia.

the new UI is such an improvement already just cos of the colour

if they're gonna have fog, i hope they have dust clouds as well from harvesting or hay making in a dry environment (from a lighting/physics perspective its the same thing)

Cant wait now.

Hopefully you can use normal combines to harvest rice. In Australia i used a JD 9770 to combine rice. Absolutely wreched the hydro drive though.....😂

Can’t wait for the gps I know there’s mods but official one would be great we also need live dashboards/computers in the cabs again i know there’s a mod called dashboard live but it’s very complicated to install and it has to be done for each vehicle

mmmm raytraceing and looks like you can plant from seedlings now too rather then direct drilling crops. I hope some one mods in one of those custom built and modified rice tractors from Thailand

Man I live in a huge rice-producing area (Sacramento Valley) and I've never seen a harvester like that first one. I've always seen them going with the standard combines.

Dagger i loves this

This is flipping amazing!

Crawfish would be a sick bi-product of the ricefields or make for a killer DLC

FS 25 looks amazing the rice harvester looks amazing with new crops and machinery and yes the dynamic effects the ripples on the water the cloud shadows on the fields and the more dense crops and the American map with rice and that new holland combine and I’m loving that flagship Massey Ferguson 9S 400 HP what a breast Can’t wait until this gets released properly and you do a series on FS 25 on a American map or European map or English map with mods or even a multiplayer option with chainsaw 100 I can’t wait to see lots of series which you decide to put out on your KZfaq channel for FS 25 and all the different new maps If this is available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox I’m seriously considering getting this FS 25 in PlayStation form and buying a PlayStation 5 console later this year just to play this game I’m currently playing FS23 on my iPad on IOS I’m doing neubrunn Germany and amberstone America I made £1 M buy just doing sugar beet and productions and sugar cane I spent hours on FS 23 on my iPad I love the classic old skool John Deere 4755 which is know standard in the mobile version

Cool

The manure steems too 👌

FS22 runs quite wel on Steam Deck. I hope this one as well. I'm excited

I love farming simulator

the steaming manure pile had a 2d texture for the steam, that might just be to demonstrate that they will add steaming manure but havent quite finalised the texture yet, i hope thats the case but from a distance the steam does look quite good its only really noticable close up

The game looks very good, but i hope for more realistic grass. I know games haven’t come that far yet, but in a dream world. More signs of life around you (like in gta 5) would also be great

I’d love to have animations for getting in and out of the vehicles, just to really add to the realism.

Okey that water movement looked good😮 the rest looks like fs22 with changed lighting and shadows

This looks brilliant much better than 22

The water physics look brilliant

It could just be because that harvester is pretty agile but that rice harvester that was doing 8kph - did that look a lot faster than than speed normally would in FS2022? I know it's not a big deal but it was something I noticed. I'm also a bit of a fan of having small, compact havesters like that-some of the specialist crops like sugarcane need such expensive gear you kind of have to specialize in them, while this will have some of that no doubt it looks like it'll be a bit easier to side-grade into rice, especially given your normal havesters can collect it too.

I can't wait.🤪

thanks Daggerwin a very imformative post..i like the look of fs25 its a vast improvement of fs22.i will be buying fs25 as soon as it comes out.and cant wait to see what the modders do with it ,should be awsome..love your series Daggerwin keep them coming cant wait for the new ones ..

One thing I would like to see is proper settings for Tobii 5 eyetracking :p Would also be good it headtracking worked on external cams too Aye, and like you said maybe some more camera views :)

very good I like

AHHHHH YESS

do the tyres squish over rocks and curbs. Also do they flatten with heavier loads

giants need to rework their ground textures and physics a bit, since their a bit behind.

Wbu the mud? But still very cool i cant vait for it to come out !

Ive been watching on and of for years, and each time i watch i wanna buy FS, And now that FS25 comes, im devs buying it

So I had to look really close but the "Dynamic ground" is active on the combine harvester scene, if you look at the header the header leaves a trail in the dirt, at some angles it looks like its actual dirt physics but once the camera goes a little lower its just parallax shading, means it's a 2D texture but using parallax shadow shading to make it look realistic, RDR2 used for horse shoe and carriage imprints in the mud, it's a clever technique but nothing entirely new

cant wait for rice simulator 2025!

I've pre-ordered my copy on the Microsoft store im looking forward to getting my hands on the game as for the vehicles a few of the ones mentioned such as the massey Ferguson 9s, the new Holland combine and the macdon swaffer were at Lamma earlier this year.

you can get gps mod in fs22 as well, and my question is what pc specs do you need to play fs25?

Looks great! Like a crap load of money into very fast pc with a 4080 card in it. That being said mine probably won't look nearly that good.

With the rice you probably buy the greenhouse and use it like normal but you can use or sell the pallets

One thing I love about this game is how natural everything looks now

Are you going to get an demo copy of the game

Giants need to make it so you can open the doors on machinery it would add so much realism

huzzaaaa ... STAGNATION-FEST

OMG LOVE THE NEW WATTER
