@rfmerrill 26 дней назад

The way it worked for a long time is that trains have emergency brake valves mounted on the side and there are mechanical "trippers" or "train stops" on the side of the track that will stick up if the track signal is red or if you are going too fast. It's increasingly being computerized of course, with the train itself automatically stopping if it detects a violation.

@THEREALVITO 27 дней назад

The reason it says "Densya" is because of different standards of how Japanese characters are converted (or "romanized") into English letters. Most of us are familiar with what is known as "Hepburn-shiki", where certain characters like しゃ are written as "sha". But in another system "Kunrei-shiki", しゃ becomes "sya". The Japanese government officially uses and prefers Kunrei, but most other people prefer or are just used to Hepburn. So that's why it says "Densya" and not "Densha". Love ya Uncle Derek!!

@HyroHarvad 27 дней назад

Even the Japanese government recently changed its stance on Kunrei in favor of Hepburn

@LadyBrightcynder 27 дней назад

That's really interesting, thanks for the info!

@d3v1lsummoner 26 дней назад

To add, while Hepburn makes a lot more phonetic sense to someone who natively uses the alphabet in english, there is still a logic to kunrei especially for native japanese. While 'sya' may look strange, in japanese that sound is denoted with しゃ or 'shi' followed by a small 'ya'. The english 's' indicates it's of the 'sa s(h)i su se so' characters and the 'ya' indicates the ゃ as well as the final vowel sound (as opposed to something like 'syo' しょ). I still vastly prefer Hepburn though.

@medalkingslime4844 26 дней назад

So like… 続ける would be romanized as tudukeru? It makes sense for native speakers but man that feels very weird. But I suppose if the Japanese government uses Hepburn now they realized it’s probably better to use a system more intuitive for foreigners since that’s going to be the primary user of romanized signs.

@d3v1lsummoner 26 дней назад

@@medalkingslime4844 yes, and you can even use kunrei when typing which is often fewer keystrokes, though only debatably more efficient. It throws me that many older japanese typing games use Kunrei and my brain doesn't like it. Though I will say I actually prefer things like ぢ-di and づ-du. Frankly, I mix the two systems in everyday use.

@keiyakins 27 дней назад

I went and looked up the protocol for the controller and it's slightly insane. On the Playstation, it always holds up and down on the dpad, then uses triangle, left, and right as three bits for the power lever and L1, L2, R1, and R2 as four bits for the brake. So if you pull back to power 5 you should go straight, then 2 and 4 let you turn. What's really weird is they use this sort of crazy mapping on every console, even though most of them let you say "yo I'm a weird game specific controller" natively.

@henke37 27 дней назад

6:12 It says "Densya", because most Japanese use Kunrei-shiki romanization for their language. Most Westerners use Hepburn romanization, which would say "Densha", which is closer to the Japanese pronunciation.

@petershillito 27 дней назад

Came here to mostly say this, although as I understand it Hepburn, or specifically Revised Hepburn, has overtaken other methods of romanisation, and in January it was proposed to make Hepburn the official romanisation system of Japan, replacing Kunrei-shiki, which is officially the standard but not really used as much. All railway station signage uses Hepburn these days too, which made visiting railway museums interesting as old signs taken from stations have different romanisation methods on.

@justanotheryoutubechannel 27 дней назад

I got really into Densha De Go a while back, starting with the N64 game which turned out to be a smart move because it’s one of the few translated versions. The translation helped me learn most of the symbols and warnings, so I didn’t quite have the same experience of confusion as to what all the warnings meant. But it’s still a tough game, and it really does go from peaceful railway riding to stressful management of lots of different variables at the drop of a hat.

@dacollbns6336 27 дней назад

Yeah, I have been playing the japanese Densha De Go on PS1 back in the day. Im enjoying it still but didnt understand how to properly play until translation of DDG 64 came.

There is also translation patch for Densha De GO Final PC version, but after playing the 64 version we all will understand how to play properly in the rest of the series

@Obscusion2 27 дней назад

I own the original Densha de Go! Plug & Play (which happens to be the second version, as the first one apparently had some issues), and it's a really impressive device. It's not simply "based" on the PS2 controller for Densha de Go!, it's actually a self-contained re-release of DdG! Final, making it possibly the most ambitious device of its type. While every other company was doing devices for old arcade, NES, SNES, Genesis, PC-Engine, & 80s micro computer games, Taito just goes "Yeah, well OUR plug-&-play device is for a PS2 game!".

@AssaulteedOne 26 дней назад

Best part - that controller can be soft-modded to add back missing jingles from the PS2 release, and you can add controller functionality to the USB port so that it can also be used as a Densha de Go controller on PC. The PC version of DenshaFinal was recently translated into English, so now more people can learn how to drive Japanese Train routes circa 2004.

@rederci939 27 дней назад

A few people have already commented on why it's written "densya", but I want to add a bit more explanation. The difference in Kunrei (densya) vs Hepburn (densha) romanization is basically a difference of romanizing for consistency vs romanizing for pronunciation. The 'sha' portion of "densha" is written しゃ, which is a 'shi' し modified by a small 'ya' ゃ to make the sound 'sha'. That's why in Kunrei it's written as 'sya', to match the 'ya' や character even though it's pronounced 'sha'. This goes for all "yō-on", where a character is modified by a small 'y-' group character, and is therefore written with a 'y' in Kunrei. There are a few different pronunciation mismatchs to keep in mind when reading Kunrei.

Great video! I'm really curious now what it would look like to play the train games on a regular controller. It looks like the levers are combining all sorts of button combinations together, so I bet there would be some pretty entertaining finger pretzels going on.

This must be a good one. Densha de Go rocks. Not to mention the by far best episode of GameCenter CX is about this game.

"analog steering controller compatible" means what it says, you can play it with the neGcon, dualshock, etc.

Speaking of Zen connections to Doom controls, I once beat the entirety of episode 1 with the screen flipped upside down and the left and right controls mirrored. I wanted to prove that our proprioception system is highly adaptable and given a consistent set of inputs, even the most literally backwards controls become second nature. And yes I wished I had recorded it but my PC is from 2009 and OBS can't run at more than 0 frames per second 😢

I appreciate that you used the train level music from X4 :)

Can't believe how much I loved a video about TRAINS, but, then again, it is Derek we're talking about.

Still looking pretty fly for 40, Uncle Derek! I’m looking forward to the second video, in which you go into the full history of all the Go games and play them all using their respective controllers. ;)

The fact that they still make train controllers for the Switch truly blew my mind! Also, happy belated birthday, Uncle Derek! 🥳 You don’t look a day over 35! 😅

One issue controllers like this might have when staring a game is, because they may be set up as if they are already inputting a command, the deadzone can be off or it takes it as an input always being on. That is, if you hold right on a controller when you started a game, or plugged a controller in while holding right while the game was running, you may find yourself constantly spinning. Either it will take it as the input is always on, or it will take it as a new deadzone resulting in "right" being neutral and "neutral" being left. I used this as a trick for one of the super smash bros challenges where you had to defeat hundreds of enemies to unlock something. The tips said use rubber bands or tape to hold down and b for donkey kong (floor slap). I simply held up and b when plugging in a controller.

This is exactly the brand of insanity that makes me love this channel so much. I'd love to find out how these controllers actually work. Also, as soon as I saw the name of the sponsor was Soylent, all I could think of was "CAAAAAAARL." Thank you for at least addressing that.
