Quick Look: Warehouse and Logistics Simulator

that is the worst german accent D:

I find this quick look unpalatable

This is an inaccurate simulator. Where have all the poor safety practices gone?

Where are all the poorly-wrapped pallets that are practically falling apart or actually DID fall apart straight off the truck? Where are the piles of poorly wrapped pallets that the employees inside of the warehouse didn't really give a damn about?

"It'll hold," said some employee, or more often, "That'll show those guys down at the WalMart."

Oh man the best is right at the end when the saw blades run out RIGHT as he hits a zombie. Gold.

@emptybob: lol it's like the xbone quick look with the stream in stream in stream infinite loop thingie

I'm pretty amazed they got through this whole Quick Look without a Shenmue reference.

Maybe it's some sort of tax evasion/loophole thing, like Uwe Boll's career. At least that's what I'm hoping for.

Games for autistic people!

Oh man, I cant believe I made it through that whole QL. I...what?

better framerate than DR3

I'm surprised the cars have collision

Yeah, well... I still think EA's next one will have just as many problems as Forklifts & Crates 4 did, whatever kind of PR spin they put on it. Especially if they can't fix the game crashing bugs when you knock over a really tall stack of boxes.

I'm just gonna come out and say it....I'd rather watch this than another Spelunky or Dota video, any day. What I mean by that, is this is more entertaining. Yes, entertaining :)

I like GiantBomb for quick looks of games I am interested in, and MST3000-type-ish hilarity.

Gouranga!

I feel this is a satire of video games.

oh god the dlc was just too much

I'm having an out of body experience

@vinny@drewbert@jeff Please Play this on Unprofessional Friday!!!!!

I'm 6 minutes in. I'm in tears of laughter!

"Let's do that again..." "Wait wut?"

hahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahhaah

I kept waiting for that metaphorical shoe to drop, and it never happened...

@homelessbird: To be fair Euro Truck sim and Euro Farm sim and those games are leagues ahead of this in quality, judging by the quicklooks. That car mechanic sim actually looked kinda cool too.

But yeah this just looks boring as hell, even for a sim.

@paulunga: Euro truck sim 2 is an actual game with proper, good gameplay and stuff though, unlike janky shit like farm sim etc. It's not the same class of thing at all.

lol zombie forklifter 2014

For I am a forklift and I must scream.

Yep. Euro Truck Sim isn't even really a 'sim' so much as 'Driving Around Europe - the RPG'. It's weird that no one has done that for cars.

Oh yeah, that's not the one I'm talking about. I'm thinking shovelware crap like this or Garden Simulator. Or Game Tycoon 1.5 which is not only shit, but also malicious and deceptive, tricking fans of Game Dev Tycoon into buying it.

@skankinpacman: Yeah! This just feels like the sadder version of that with the 'ghosts' still haunting it.

The thrilling adventures of ghost forklift operator.

That was the best!

You know, ever since I quit my job at KENT Building Supplies, I've had this deep, gut wrenching, feeling that I'd never get to use a pallet jack again, or experience the thrill of a warehouse.

This game has calmed my nerves and completed my life!

Oh god just make a grocery story simulator already. I need a simulator to simulate my job!

Great find! Remember him from Turrican on the C64 back.. cough.. 24 years ago. His personal site is something else too ;)

The topmost preview on his soundcloud is awesome.

@patchcoat said:

Jeff said as much, but this really does look like what would happen if you just tossed a bunch of stock assets together into an executable and did the bare minimum necessary to make it run.

freeplay mode text says

"you can explore the area with your forklift and transport as many good as you life"

yep as you LIFE so if you love lifeing freeplay is the mode for you

Though hell mode looks well better than the actual l game

This is employee training video music.,

I can just see Drew dawning sunglasses before typing the end of that deck. My god, man.

endurance run anyone?

Was Forklifter 2014 invented or discovered?

@vinny Hey Vinny, you should quicklook this game or play it on Unprofessionnal Fridays:

Man, Drew with these puns. I'm just going to shake my head and click the play button.

Another fine Excalibur Publishing product.

I used to drive these when I worked at a supermarket, since it's how we moved stock in the back. It's not very interesting, I'm sorry to say.

These games were made to be played by Vinny in quick looks.

People think I'm crazy, but I enjoyed going to fake forklift work and stopping by the bar to play darts on the way home.

DLSHEE

This looks like an easy game to pick up, though I'm not sure I'd be able to bear it for the long haul. I don't want to raise my hopes too much, especially if I have to go through digital distribution to fork over my cash.

But does it provide a real simulation of the logistics aspect? It seems a little warehouse heavy.

Driving around with the forklift as high as it can go? What a simulator all right.

I love how fucked up the scale of everything is in this game.
