Farming Simulator 15 screens showcase graphical overhaul

The first screenshots for upcoming Farming Simulator 15 have been released that showcase the game's new graphics engine. The series next iteration is also receiving a new physics engine, interface, gameplay mechanics, and Nordic world setting.

The graphics engine is described as being far more advanced than the previous version with expanded visual effects in addition to physical-based rendering that will ensure vehicles have a photo-realistic feel.

One of my gripes with last year's version was the lack of direction provided to players. Fortunately, this year's version looks to solve those issues with additional activities such as logging.

Returning is the game's popular online mode that allows for 15 players to farm with each other over local network or online. Farming Simulator 15 will be available for PC this October along with consoles in early 2015.
