While the game has all of the proper vehicles and equipment for the process, the difficult part is in operating them and adjusting to the odd log physics after the trees have been cut down. With the woodcutting being a new gameplay element there are unfortunately some issues in the process of actually cutting and moving the wood. The developers have also introduced the gameplay element of woodcutting that enables players to utilize both chainsaws and woodcutting vehicles to gain money from chopping trees and then transporting the logs to sellers. The newly improved user interface is a major step in the right direction for the series in becoming a modern and polished simulator experience. With one keyboard click, players can access the complete shop menu in which to purchase vehicles and equipment from clear and separate categories. Other major improvements in this year's release includes a redesigned user interface that presents a far more modern approach to displaying various menus and indicators such as vehicle speed and which vehicle tool is currently selected. In regards to the graphics, numerous visual elements have been improved such as vehicles now have interior cabins with working instruments and screens as well as farming vehicle exteriors collect dirt after working in the fields. While not perfect in every scenario, the overall movement of vehicles in regards to speed and weight feels far more realistic during farming activities. Tractors and other vehicles in the game no longer wildly flip over or get stuck on every small incline in the environment. The most noticeable improvements when first starting the game is the new graphics and physics engine which for the most part solved the realism issues found in past games. ![]() Ultimately, farming and simulator enthusiasts will be happy to know that Farming Simulator 15 is an overall massive improvement over past series releases. This year's release fortunately solved some of the series's previous problems, but oddly ignored some issues that should have been addressed. My primary complaints in Farming Simulator 2013 focused on a lack of guidance and graphics and physics that lacked realism. However, it is uncertain why the particular case of Farming Simulator 15 – only on the PlayStation 4 and only in North America – would require a re-release of the game.Farming Simulator 15 from developer Giants Software follows the previous series release two years ago with various improvements ranging from a redesigned user interface to reworked physics. It appears that Focus Home Interactive has established contract terms where publishing rights are relinquished after so many years. GIANTS has also taken over as publisher for their previous Farming Simulator releases. In 2020 GIANTS Software became the publisher of Farming Simulator 17 on Steam but as of this writing it has not affected any console versions of the game. The 2019 release by GIANTS does not have any additional DLC on the PlayStation Store and may be included with that version of the game. The PlayStation Store page for the Focus Home version of the game remains online as of this writing, possibly to support the paid DLC that is still available. ![]() In August of 2019 the Focus Home version of the game and its DLC were heavily discounted on PlayStation 4 leading up to the August 22nd re-release published by GIANTS themselves. In the Summer of 2018 GIANTS Software took over as the publisher for the game on Steam. The original version of Farming Simulator 15 for PlayStation 4 was likely delisted by the end of 2019 in North America.
