Fishing games have usually been more about abstract fun than fishing. A Dreamcast game with a plastic rod, for example, was never going to be an authentic simulation of the experience. But hey, now that the team behind Train Simulator are making one using Unreal Engine 4, maybe they’ll get a little more serious about it all.
Initially specialising in fishing for carp, Dovetail Games Fishing will quickly expand to include a multitude of popular fishing types, including bass and fly-fishing, across a variety of locations around the world.
Ok, yup, they’re getting serious. I don’t see a single mention of beer, shotguns or dynamite there.
