Gwe Remaster: Appreciation And Discussion Thread

Yes it looked like a brand new route. Loved the busy timetable and the lighting improvements.

Thanks to Liam and all involved.

 

Since it's coming on Friday, I'm appreciating the drives on the OG route before we finally get to drive the remaster. Building the hype!

 

I'm just praying that it runs smoothly on Xbox.

 

You and me both mate I don't even mind disabling a few layers if that helps. Mind you saying i dont there is many layers on this route is there.

 

23 layers! It's gonna be chockablock. But given the love Liam has given this, I really hope it performs!

 

What was the stream like i couldn't watch it.

 

It looks phenomenal man! Always something going on.

 

I don't see how we will avoid blurring, considering the amount of traffic that will be present.

Unless they have unlocked something recently?

 

Matt did say they've got an internal build with a potential patch that's being tested on SEHS, and if it's successful it'll be rolled out.

 

It looks good. Performance-wise, it also seems to look solid. Always in for a little nag: Why are cab doors still so difficult to open and close? It's like a mini game on its own, as shown on the stream.

Overall: keep the remasters coming!

 

The struggle was real watching him try to close the cab door lol

 

Here's hoping then!!

 

I genuinely hope this is the final nail in the coffin regarding the core.

 

Do you think that TSW6 announcements are including inn this remaster ? I don't even look at the stream

 

Yes, announcements are included.

 

I am sceptical, very sceptical.

But will be extremely happy to be proved wrong once again, as it will mean the game is better for all us Xboxers!!!

 

Absolutely! Let's see what time says, as it seemed apparent that they're in house patch/trial was very imminent!

 

Skimmed through stream as was working last night and this morning.
One thing that made me chuckle was the passenger behaviour at Ealing Broadway on the footbridge! They were falling through it in places.

The other thing was stood out is just a personal one but it was weird that the first service they ran was from Slough as it's from a bay platform that was taken out of use around 2014-15.

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't GWE set later than 2014?

EDIT: Another thing that made me chuckle was Matt driving the IET on electric into platforms at Paddington which were not electrified at the time. As soon as he exited the cab you could see the pantograph was still raised!

 

Is there a link anywhere that tells you whats in the hst farewell pack. Thanks

 

Awesome remaster ,massive difference from original, little concerned maybe for blurry textures, but other wise I'm looking forward and keeping Friday clear for this!

 

Will the 166 / 165 be useable in the livery designer now? So customs can be made?

 

Is there a written list or link of all the layers needed for the upcoming GWE Remastering route please ?

 

Heathrow Express had been running since the late 1990s, so Paddington was electrified.

Or was it only some dedicated platforms that were electrified back then?

 

Platforms 1 & 2 were not electrified back then, they were only done later on.

 

Ah yeah, I don't have much knowledge of the area but I just went and had a look, I see what you mean about that bay platform. Apparently they stopped running services to it in around 2014/15 and then the track was ripped up in 2015. GWE is seemingly set in 2015/2016, but the timetable is actually 2017. So it is inaccurate, at least to run a train to or from that platform 6 on this timetable, but also nobody really seems to know exactly when the route is set, it seems like a mix to me.

 

Timewise the route is all over the place.
Broken record but setting it right when the electrification is taking place, was for me, not the right time to do it.
