Gwe Remaster: Appreciation And Discussion Thread

Times are changing, lot of stuff nowadays is done on smartphones. Younger people are even more tend to to do everything smartphones. Back in the the day I had a gaming pc, but for several reason I switched to console: not wanting to deal with hardware upgrades, drivers, trying to getting it to work and home space.

Consoles are just simple devices, turn on tv and console and play your game. No worries about settings and Windows updates. I even don't use Windows anymore for years, so if I switch to gaming on PC it will be something like the Steam machine or other Linux based PC.

Your view is clearly dated and from the past. Consoles are a fairly cheap option to start gaming, while PC components are pretty expensive. Look what happened with graphics cards due to coin mining and look what happens now with memory because of AI. Console prices will alo increase due to memory prices, so we have to see how this turns out in the future.

 

Is this on X-box? I have had no crashes there on PS5 recently.

 

Same here. Keeping a PC running and up to date is just too much of a hassle. Not necessarily a money issue (at least not for me).

 

Yes on Xbox, it crashes on both Series S and X and for months already. When it was released on Xbox by accident to early, I had no issues, but after I few (game) updates it started crashing and it has never been fixed, despite bug reports and posts here on the forum.

 

Yep, me too.

Nothing at all to do with money, and everything to do with simplicity, compatibility and ease of use.

 

2nd jan then

 

Point was they knew about problems before releasing but still released it unlike the remaster that’s been in the works for nearly two years and also it was probably the old system that broke the route in the first place instead of just being the new timetable

 

At first I didn't have crashes on SKA, this started later, so I can't say they knew it. Fact is, they still didn't solve it.

 

A bit of question is, has the concourse been made accessible or it's still the sorry state before remaster? It doesn't even have the bear!

 

It all looks amazing, although I was hoping for a bit more effort with the article! I thought we’d get lots of screen shots, breakdown of services and other info on what’s been changed (similar to most articles). I’m interested in how Paddington has changed, closer look at some of the additions and especially the service patterns. I really hope it gets what it deserves before and during release.

 

No, most likely the earliest date we get for the release will be week commencing 5th January; it's too soon after the new year to start releasing content again

 

Was just wishful thinking out loud.

 

Hopefully this comes soon along with 125 pack. I really hope they use the Armstrong Powerhouse sound set with the screaming rear unit.

 

MTUs operated in 2016 on the GWML so probably no screaming engines. Best bet is Midland Mainline.

 

I know not possible but would have been so epic if you could have got permission for the bear himself
