The Bus - Early access gameplay - Dynamic weather | Thrustmaster T300RS 

After a long day as a bus driver, you come home and put this game on to relax.

Government: Please work from home. Bus Drivers:

I love how they have the creepy rattling and creaking that buses always seem to have.

The sound design is absolutely incredible.

The entire NPC budget went into the windshield rain droplets instead

The chaos in traffic ai makes game even more realistic.

Very realistic! Just like the bus system here, most of the passengers don't pay the bus fare.

this makes bus drivers proud that people are interested in their craft.

Thanks for supporting us!

Imagine you are a bus driver, driving bus 8-9 hours a day for a living, coming home from a hard day of work and playing this shit.

12:10 The detailing is superb

Perfect game for a veteran. Still makes you feel as if you’re part of the daily grind…

Bus driver after work: - Ok, it's time to chill out

I have learned from this video that, bus drivers do not get enough salary to buy themselves a pair of shoes😂

The rain and water are reminiscent of Driveclub's water effects. Absolutely mesmerizing. They really paid attention to the detail for this game.

It's a very detailed simulation of down-town Berlin. I've walked down these streets for real many times and this is pretty much spot on. Including the rain and heavy traffic!

This game looks so real.

They need a feature where you occasionally have to fight off the town drunks and druggies from getting on your bus.

Living in Berlin, been driving in Berlin, holy crap how everything looks like in real :O So well made can recognize every spot

So oddly satisfying, I found myself falling asleep just like on an ordinary bus trip through London on a rainy day :-)

The feeling of being in a car when its cold and raining outside is so weird like,it feels so fresh,this game replicate that feeling so fucking well,they nailed it

Next generation game: The Cleaner: sweeping and mopping in 4k.

This game is so realistic, people dont even say "hi" or look at you when they hop on the bus 😂😂

they should have levels of difficulty: as others have mentioned without the big marker, and with drunks stumbling into the path of the bus and other city challenges.👷

I like the graphics so much

Best thing about this are the interior sounds. They got it accurately

This captures Berlin superbly. Amazing street level detail, while funnily Google Street View in Berlin hasn't been updated since like 2008.

WOW. This looks like a healthy version of European Truck Simulator 2/ATS which is stuck somewhere in 2013 with backwards graphics, no normals/shadows and no anti-aliasing. This actually looks and feels like a modern sim game. Great job!

23:13 Popo outchea doing drifts😂😂😂😂

5:38 looks like the Jeep is drifting haha :D

wow! fantastic! I used to live in Berlin, this brings all those memories back!

I was a busdriver for 3 years. anyone who would drive like this (without indicating, sudden breaking, no crash avoidance space … I could go on for hours) wouldn‘t even make it through 1st day of training. ☝🏻😂 … But the game looks great. And feels very real even when you watch it on a small screen. so massive respect towards the developers.

"we all want traffic in games but not in real life"

Better graphics than American Truck Simulator.

So nice of the bus driver to let all those sentient robots on board :)

This looks amazing!

It's raining in the yard, and people even walk without an umbrella😂😂😂

Bus driver going home to relax and play some videogames The video game....

That’s pretty damn good! Got the sounds bang on!!😊

every passenger looks so happy ! they really enjoyed the ride :)

How smooth the transition as rain gets smaller and the sunlight starts to come back while the wet road dries slowly.... realistic this game is epic

It's amazing the level of detail in this game, even down to the sounds of the bus chassis whilst you're driving along

Not gonna lie this was great background ambience while i was working lol, thanks for the ride.

If not the bus dashboard in view (not the player camera), I could think for a moment I see real city driving. Well done. Textures inside bus is giving sway this is a game, not reality, which is sad moment )

Really great looking game :O Can´t wait for full game :)

That water effect on the windshield is just amazing.

Was ich noch unbedingt erwähnen möchte, ist die Tatsache, dass hier nicht ständig vom Autor des Videos irgendwelche Weisheiten zum Besten gegeben werden! Äußerst angenehm! Danke! 👍😎🇦🇹

This was great,I play bus simulation games like this on my phone one of the games don't have that much detail like this but the other one does, and I always wanted to play along with it like that wheel controls you have

I bought this for my son. His future looks bright.

The bus....it should be named as THE REALISTIC....awesome

I love how serious you take this.

This is amazing!

The traffic AI, density and volume looks absolutely awesome in this game. The dynamic weather also adds to the realism. It would also be great if they had pedestrian and bike traffic as well. With pedestrians and bike dangers that you would also encounter while driving a bus. Lastly, there should be a way to change bust stop markers so they are less obvious for added challenge.

1:00 The steering wheel shakes when the engine turns on, looks realistic

Bruh that truck at 20:00 had me like "are you shittin me!" lmao 🤣

I feel like if you increase the fov, you can have the GPS dynamically show up on the screen to the right. If other important information is going to be added that is important while moving, don't mind this idea. It might counter the model and how the bus behaves in real-life, but it would make the HUD cleaner. Another alternative is on-road arrows with mesh-mapping as they do in some games, but that's a lot of work and could be immersion-breaking. The rain effects are gorgeous. So much detail in everything, alot I haven't seen in any other systems in games, such as the lift, rattling sounds, the road AI's driving, such as when some inch out of an intersection (best I've seen). Except the NPCs. They need dynamic animations, facial expressions and subsurface scattering on their skin. They really stick out. There are plenty of solid assets for game engines that could be applied, if there isn't enough dev time for that. Or maybe this is already planned, just suggesting it in case it isn't considered. The sound design is so immersive and realistic. I find it relaxing. There are so many stellar aspects and details in this sim. Overall, outstanding work, top-notch quality. 👍

Things to improve in this game: 1. Cars are too bright and new. Make some of them old and a bit dusty 2. Passengers are looking away when bus is arriving to the stop. Passengers should be looking at the bus usually. 3. Remove huge bus stop indicators and make the driver find it by the actual bus stop sign .

I assume there's bonus points for closing the doors and driving off just as people arrive at the bus stop after a sprint

I think someone wanted to make a 1:1 model of Berlin and decided there needed to be some way for you to see it all. The sound it amazing as well as the details in the weather. Beautiful game, still not sure why they chose bus driving simulator though.

I realise i am in the bus 😂😂

I swear when I looked at this video I thought this was real. This game is going to be great

The company who made this game: We should create a name that will attract gamers to play it. Random employee: how about "T h e B u s" Everyone in the building: y e s

If driving is this good I want to see this level of timing set up in GTA , Forza horizon, halo , everwhere ! The physics is exemplary

Bro i like the way the bus moves and the rain thats cool

What the hell Honestly graphics are really really realistic 😍

If they make a bus driving sim about public bus service in Himalayas of India then even those dark souls, bloodborne players will shiver with difficulty.

Man you sure drive fast!

This is the best bus ride I’ve ever had, it was clean and comfortable there are snacks and pets it doesn’t smell like urine and no one is yelling and throwing up. it’s so relaxing I could take a nap, oh wait, never mind.

me: Woah, this game is so realistic. Bus drivers: So, my career is surreal?

Only the pedestrians in this game make me realise that its a game..Or else it looks very real

Imagine riding a bus for a living, then coming home after your shift to relax and drive a bus.

I'm from Berlin and I can say that this map is really accurate! the textures are a bit off and the traffic is a lot different irl, less trucks but a lot of bikes and usually no cars parking on the bike and bus lanes. but the scale of the city is really well done.

Its so realistic even the AI violates traffic law

It disturbs me as to how happy all the passengers are😅no one is having a bad day🤣. Not very normal on a bus.

Super realistic looking sim! Only annoying issue I see is the repeated people models, lol. Saw the same people get on the bus over and over. They need something that adjusts skin colour, eye colour, hair style, body weight, clothing, etc. and then just randomises the new people you meet.

Took this line a few times to the air port. crazy how far games are getting,

The game is realistic as hell damn!! The feeling of rain, indicator sound, traffic, environment, I mean everything is so damn nice. The transition between rain and sunlight is pretty much accurate. I can sleep in my chair just by looking at the rainy environment.

Man I love this game, tho traffic cars can be abnormal at times 😅 but still a good one for an early access.

What makes me most happy is the sense of speed looks really good

It's pissing down and no coats or umbrellas are being used, or even a newspaper held above the head, shoddy work :)

15:39 I think you ve hit something XD

Imagine being unemployed living with mom and dad pretending all day to be an employed bus driver.

Don't even know why but this is so satisfying to watch ❤

Amazing !!

Finally a bus simulator with realistic lane widths and even road noise/ interior squeaks and rattles.

Why driving in game feels more satisfying than real life driving

Wow, action packed. I'm sure the kids will be queuing at midnight for this release.

Immersion bubble completely popped for me when I saw the tree trunks actually swaying to the light wind. Who thought this was a good idea LOL

This is the most realistic bus driving simulator's I've seen. And the way you turn the wheel like a boss is true professionalism.

Looks so good pls keep up the series

💙💙💛💛 nice work !

I used to take this bus route regularly, its amazing with what precission this route has been designed here. Even the same shops... Reallz astonishing, as if I were riding in it in reality. The only thing missing is a typical BVG moody and grudgy bus driver, speaking in the legendary "Berlin Service English" :-D

looks fun if you ask me

Don't know why, but I did watch this for about 15 minutes when I realized I had the question "Why" sitting in my head.

He didn't even say anything along whole video, and the gameplay was so satisfying to watch 🌟

34:10 I was skipping through the video and I noticed this. As a truck driver, I have to say that people don't like it when the traffic light is on the right side and you block their view. You don't see this kind of thing much, but as a big truck driver you have to think about it all the time, and it's not just this but a lot of other things ;) And of course in the video game it's completely irrelevant, I just wanted to mention it so that others also take something from it.

Really great games !! I want it !!

The speed of traffic is the most impressive thing to me , it's just bang on 👏👏👏

This actually looks really good, I'm in shock

Love the reality of the city and other drivers. Is not an empty map with cars that are there just to make numbers. The city feels alive, hope they put more effort into the NPC and some textures (like the bus stop information, and warning sign behindd that truck)
