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

my poor 1050ti is gonna love this

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

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.

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!

I wonder how the field flooding will work for rice

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

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

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

Vintage survival about to go crazy🔥

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

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="855">14:15</a> "There is now an animation for steaming manure.." Hands-down the best case for pre-order I've ever come across.. 😎

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!

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

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”

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

I can't wait

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

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.

I can't wait. 🙂

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

Looks pretty awesome.

Can’t wait!

😮😮 beautiful 🤩 Awesome Video Brother ❤❤

cant wait for rice simulator 2025!

I'm in ! Money is ready.

There was a tractor in black and white running in the background while they spoke. The ground looked like it dynamically deformed, but i can't be sure.

Cant wait now.

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

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

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

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

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

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)

You’re fast!

Finally!!!! GPS

AHHHHH YESS

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

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

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

The best updates ever :)

The water effects are amazing 😮

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

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!

huzzaaaa ... STAGNATION-FEST

I can't wait.🤪

I love farming simulator

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!

Am I the only one who want more manual labour, instead of advanced/extra machinery? Like having to load the rice manually from the pallet into the machine etcetera

Looks amazing. Can't wait for it

The manure steems too 👌

they confirmed in the talk that you can use the ferry 👍

The water physics look brilliant

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

props to the devs for understanding a new game every 2-3 years is the perfect balance just enough to balance engine and graphics changes with new content and not be an everlasting cash grab like COD

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!

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

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.

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

keep up the good content dag!

Cool

This looks a bit like farm sim 17 if it had reshade mods 😂 (In a good way though, I genuinely think this game looks good)

Love the video Dagg

OMG LOVE THE NEW WATTER

OMG!!

😂😂😂 green palletes filling like a grain!! JESUS what a cr#p is GIANTS blowing up?!!!!

The ol' rtx 2080 better strap the hell in for this one

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

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

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

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!

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.

🔥

Wow the animation in water is incredible the water responds to the disturbances caused by the machine and produces waves and they fade very realistically … wow GIANTS!!

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

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.

I want water puddles on my field after its rained. Looks really good. I'm gonna miss alot of the old DLC's though

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="694">11:34</a> as they’re harvesting you can see the crop is still disappearing as you harvest it instead of them properly animating it in such a way where you can’t see it popping out of existence

In field info, second video where it shows harvesting in the crop type it says soybeans

Dynamic ground feels like there keeping a secret for now

Hope they make them feel like they weigh few tons!

its giving me Pure Farming vibes

Better suspension, tire deformation, terrain deformation, better weight feeling... Theres a lot the same things we just want to improve in FS, ahhh

It's so nice to see that giants has actually implemented a decent LOD system that doesn't have a disgustingly small render distance.

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

If i ever Get fs 25 i might need a new pc bc these grafics are insane I wonder what fs 27 is going to look like

feels like fs22 just came out ngl

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

I thought 22 looked fantastic this is on another level

Dagger i loves this

I don't care how pretty it looks. If they haven't improved the bale and pallet physics, I will not be buying it. I'll just stuck to 19.
