    About as useful as a chocolate radiator.

    At this point Dovetail should release TSW8 and skip TSW7 just to surprise everyone

    I think we will probably get a japanese route. Maybe Tadami Line. Let's wait for the TSW 7 roadmap info ;)

    Is this an express thread that doesn’t stop at TSW6?
    For me the Class 390 WCMLS has to be extended to Brum. If they can do it for ICE then they can do it for the Pendo which currently has a disgusting 30 mins of gameplay without even a stop for the most part.
    Not good enough. ICE already had longer runs than that, multiple in fact. Balance the books DTG.
    In addition we will soon have Brum in the game.

    I predict:

    Expansion on what we already have, new sound files (Class 142 sounding like Tim Curry)
    Re-releasing trains we already have in liveries we can make for free,
    A new UI that will add drunk NPCs to Preston and only Preston (you pay more to get them at Crewe),
    Occasional birds on locomotives, mode DLC than base routes

    Oh...and a new Class 66 with a cult-like fan base who thinks this is still acceptable.

    And multiplayer.

    MP would be a car crash and something I’m not interested in. Every server has its share of idiots larking about ruining it for others.

    What is it with people?

    TSW6 hasn't even released yet, we've only just found out what's coming to it.

    Why on earth do we need a thread predicting routes for TSW7 now?

    Because it's a joke.[EDIT - Jan - Language]

    It's pathetic and why should we care? Why give our money to this when we'll just get the same [EDIT - Jan - Language] next year.

    Why do we repeat ourselves as a community every year. Year after year.

    Dovetail Games wants to listen to the fans, then why let them get away with this!? Let them take us as walking wallets?

    [EDIT - Jan - Insulting]

    And If by some miracle Dovetail is reading this thread, then I want them to know exactly how pathetic this all is:

    I was watching the reveal with my BF. He's not intr in train sims, he has no idea about TSW.
    And he even said it felt like things were being repackaged.

    Dovetail, you have a monopoly over train sim games:
    You can and should do better for the game you say you love and the fans you claim to care for.

    Otherwise quit and do the world of train sims a favor.

    Alright, I'll apologize for any offense. And I'll try to word my thoughts more civilly:

    Dovetail is sitting on a goldmine of an IP,
    You have managed to create a game that is both easily accessible and yet immersive for train fans. You have a product that is unmatched and a development team that is unrivaled in terms of Train Sims.
    You have budgets and outreach that surpass Centuries of Steam, Railroader, Trainz, and more.

    And yet you do so little.

    I believe that train sims can do wonders for railfans, railway historians, and more.

    You could help visualize routes that aren't even built yet, seeing what operational challenges will arise with such a route and find ways around it.

    You can relive history lost to time, find the answers to questions left behind.
    Did City of Turo really reach 100mph?
    How did the DRG Class SVT 877 help change rail travel?
    What was the original Stockton and Darlington route like?

    Instead you give us the same modern image experiences time after time. In fact; you give us more DLC announcements than actual new content.

    And speaking of DLC; I personally can not see a justification for TSW6, everything announced today could have been patch fixes and DLCs. And would be interested to hearing or seeing why we need another brand new game. In fact, I will recend my comments, apologize, and even by the premium version of TSW6 and additional content if a justified and reasonable answer for a new game can be given.

    So while my tone might have been angry (as I feel is my right as a paying customer), and my message insulting in tone, I stand by it:

    You can do better, and if you stand by your word as listening to the community; you should aim for more than you give.
    Instead of just re-releasing the same game again and again and again.

    Well Goat Simulator skipped 2 and went straight from 1 to 3.
    Microsoft Windows went straight from 8 to 10.

    And also said back in TSW3 they would have to build a brand new game and that MP would not be coming. So they took that off the table 3 years ago.

    When did they claim they cared.

    DTG don''t care about us they are a business, do you think McDonalds cares?

    All they care about is making money like a business is supposed too and obviously they are aware on the gold mine they have since profits doubled from last year.

    So they are doing something right.

    Friends, families, doctors, and therapists are wgo you should be looking at if you want caring, not a video game company.
