East Coast Way Remaster Discussion Thread.

Currently writing this from Three Bridges! BML would be an amazing route to remaster, but IMO a very large work needs to be done on the scenery. It looks quite bad in places. I'd also rather wait until texture blurring is sorted as I don't want a non-blurry route to turn blurry and become unplayable. I'd feel a bit cheated if we had to buy the class 700 again though, the 8 car variant is already in the game. I wouldn't want to pay twice to get the 12 car variant.

 

Makes sense, the 377/3s very rarely actually worked on the Seaford Branch , certainly not regular, while the 313s worked down here, the only time you'd see a 377/3 and a 313 would be one off rarity, or, as a 7 car unit on football days at the amex, fairly common on the Seaford branch

 

Agree 100%

 

I would gladly pay for a DLC or gameplay pack if that was necessary to (partly) finance the remaster, like with ECW.

 

It would probably have to be the 12-Car 700 + something else to ensure it’s a no brainer. Perhaps the 319? There was some overlap between them and the other units on this route..

 

There are quite a few possibilities for overlapped stock, or swapping one thing for another.

442 is definitely top of my list, but 319’s & 460’s would be very close.

 

I would suspect same era, so the 377, 387 and 700. Maybe another version of the 700 plus additional scenarios.

 

Or perhaps another class 377 sub class like the 5-car 377/6?

 

I'd like to see the Southern class 455, which could also include the 377/6 and 377/7 (the 5 car 377s)

I'd also love to see the class 442 and 460 but they'd both require other rolling stock for the timetable to be realistic.

 

I still want my CIG's, BIG's and VEP's though...

 

Has anyone from DTG or DTG Liam confirmed they are aware about the disappearance of the track at Eastbourne and will a fix be pushed?

 

You could pair a 700/1 and 387 together in a pack (although I can understand it not being a popular choice and a bit repetitive with the upcoming GWR pack). I remember seeing Thameslink branded 387's prior to the full introduction of the 700's, maybe it could also include Great Northern branding incase a Kings Cross to Peterborough route ever gets released.

A 319 would be quite nice though.

 

I make no apologies for more night shots at Lewes!

Thanks again Liam!

 

Definitely.. and like Rivet with the Turbostar liveries / add-ons, bringing in the 319 into TSW would future proof the whoever chooses to develop it - it’s seen many liveries and versions, and is a huge leap towards the 320/321/322’s too!

 

2017 also could also have Class 442s about since they were finally withdrawn from service in March 2017.

 

Can dtg confirm there are no announcements on any stations this is on PC and PlayStation 5 pro. Been playing for a few hours now and nothing only the onboard announcements work.
