Sean Bean Is Here to Make You Feel Something About Trains

He doesn't necessarily make me feel anything for Train Simulator 2014, mind you. But man, I really want to go hug a heritage unit right about now.

Oops, I must have logged in just as this went up. I wish they showed some gameplay.

I guess it was just too realistic to tell the difference, but the last shot was in-engine.

Why would Sean bean do this job? I cant imagine this would pay well. But then again, they sell alot of dlc right? :p And the more places you can hear that voice the better i suppose ;-)

These simulation games are doing surprisingly well, regularly topping sales charts, so i wouldn't be surprised if they pay decently, after all the production values for this trailer don't seem too shabby either.

@missacre said:

All these completely original, never-before-heard jokes in this thread about Sean Bean dying, quoting LotR or being that guy from Game of Thrones. Bravo.

Yeah they are nearly as original as the guy who complains about the inevitable, guess you can't have one without the other?

@nicklott: I'd much rather have Jeremy Clarkson narrate most anything over Sean Bean.

So this was really silly, but at the same time, I really like how they managed to romanticise the railways. Because trains are a really great way to travel. Though not great enough that I'd buy a train driving sim. A Railway building sim yes, but not a driving one.

I believe this is supposed to be a parody of the Forza "Endangered Species" trailer. It's kind of subtle but the similar font treatment and piano bit at the end makes it clear.

Alright I gotta admit, I wouldn't have watched this trailer if Alex hadn't mentioned Sean Bean in the blurb. Weird. You know what would be awesome and highly unlikely Sean Bean as the narrator in the campaign mode or something.

You know what, I could believe Sean Bean was secretly wicked into trains, purring to himself as he sits on the East Riding heritage tour, discussing George Stephenson to a man with a beard and his plain wife eating crab paste sandwiches.

Does Sean Bean die in Train Simulator 2014 too?

If he doesn't, won't the universe fold in over itself?

The description of this video in my head read like, "Ned Stark is here to rap about trains". And sure enough he did

Sean Bean has the best voice.

This probably also means that Bean will die somewhere in the game :(
