Impressive! This is arguably the word most pronounced by testers when presenting this new pack for Farming Simulator 19. Kverneland and Vicon can be proud of the way they are portrayed in our favorite farming simulation.
20 equipments. No more no less. This is what makes up this exceptional DLC dedicated to tillage, fodder and crop treatment. Giants Software hits hard both in quantity and quality. Because, we cannot repeat it enough, with each additional content, the developer always sets the bar a little higher. The PS5 was unveiled yesterday, the Xbox Serie X for several weeks, and we are already starting to talk here and there about the next Farming Simulator on these 2 powerful platforms. The Kverneland / Vicon DLC, it seems to me, lays the foundations for what the future of the franchise might look like visually.
Each material is modeled down to the smallest detail. Stickers, 3D disks, 4K textures, the number of polygons almost doubled,… everything shows that information technology and the power of machines are evolving and that Giants Software knows how to use these resources wisely.
Make way for the game
The visual slap once passed, it's time to play. We are in the presence of a pack where almost all of the material is usable whatever the map. We are far from the large widths of the Bourgault DLC. The tools are here on a “European” scale. Better still, for large tools, such as sprayers, multiple configurations make it possible to reduce the wheelbase, for example the booms are available from 18 to 40m. The majority of tools fold up, or have a specific hitch for transport. In short, the player can go anywhere, including in small narrow alleys. In the shop, it is often possible to "skin" the tools with the Kverneland or Vicon skin. A little nod to the Vicon FastBale baler which allows continuous pressing and wrapping of round bales. A real plus for the gameplay.
Offered at € 14,99, the price is in line with what we find on the video game market. Whether or not you are a fan of the brand, the contribution of new blood is appreciable both for the graphic quality and for the addition of gameplay (minimal I grant you).
