The 40% discount appears to only apply to PC pre-orders. DTG doesn't seem to be continuing this practice with Xbox One.
I'm a tad confused about the pricing. On their Facebook page, the header states "PRE ORDER TRAIN SIM WORLD FOUNDERS EDITION BEFORE OFFICIAL RELEASE AND SAVE UP TO 40% OFF THE RETAIL PRICE.". As far as I can see, TSW Founders Edition is exclusive to Xbox One. So is there a discount on the £24.99 or is this not the retail price? *Edit - question answered*
Sounds like Founders Edition is the early release and the full edition is coming down the line, probably with the other routes, so buying it now gives you a discount off the full thing.
What a great start to the weekend. And will be be getting the heavy freight or it will just be the great western main line at the start?
It is stated in the official release that it was exclusive to the Xbox One so I'll safely say that no, no PS4 release is probably being looked at right now. I imagine they paid good money for an exclusivity license for the Xbox and those usually guarantee a product will be solely on that system for several years.
Will there be more tutorials? The article at xbox.com mentions “chocked full of tutorials” of which there are only 4-which I would not consider “chocked full” since that’s just a tiny portion of what the CSX Heavy Haul tutorials covered. I’d imagine many of those tutorials would need to be remade with GWE versions to cover the absolute basics...
Microsoft originally showed TSW as Xbox One Enhanced but that appears to have disappeared. At a guess I’d say it’ll be a future update perhaps?
Is there a YouTube link to the official trailer for the TSW:FP? I own and manage the 'Train Sim World' club on Xbox one, and I would like to share it with our club! Thanks, DHX / DHX Railways
When the game comes out on xbox will you be able to use a keyboard to play on xbox instead of using the controller? Also will this game ever come out on playstation 4 aswell?
You can also see the first clips using GameDVR on the store page. https://www.microsoft.com/de-de/store/p/train-sim-world-gründerpaket/btsx4fpvx6v5#
This. If the XB1X enhanced version will be of a sufficiently high resolution (4K or near 4K) then I'm interested. If it's 1080p or 1440p I will stick to the PC version. May I ask Dovetail if that is the case? Many thanks.
Games that are XB1X Enhanced have to run at full 4K and have HDR enabled before Microsoft will allow the Xbox One X Enhanced tag to be added to it. I'd imagine the Founders Edition will get patched up to the XB1X Enhanced status after release, or the store listing will be updated at some point prior to release. Going on the file size of nearly 6gb, I'd say there are probably some 4K assets already there.
They might, although with the time period the route is set in electrification only goes as far as Hayes & Harlington.
The Founders edition is early access. There will be further routes released later in the year when the full game releases. I'd assume you'll see Heavy Haul, Rapid Transit and any other route they release for PC.
I agree with you, as the game progresses will introduce new routes and the pc dlc's this is just an advance of what is to come I think the same
In the time period of this route, the 387's were running the shuttle services... So would be awesome to see them.
Good game but still glitchy and screen tearing is horrible. Could do with passenger announcements and working station boards so we know when the next train is due
The last we heard about the Passenger Information System (passenger announcements and station boards) is that it is mostly complete but they're having rendering issues with the engine. My understanding would be it's a similar issue that we've seen, at least on PC, with the OHLE flickering severely.
Fire your Quality team or reorganize them so they do not report to the project team. There is no way a "Train Sim" should ship with that much missing track and to have the same issue after a major update is inexcusable, when only working with one line.
What major update? First update enabled V-Sync & the other update has game current with upcoming British law about Data Protection. So I ask you again..... What major update?
I must say, I'm really enjoying it on consoles, I own FE on Xbox One S and have now upgraded, but I played it on my uncles' PS4 and I've noticed a significant frame and graphic drop between the 2, with PS4 being the worst.
I agree. Performance seems to have improved quite a lot on the Xbox. I'm on an Xbox One and I haven't seen any real noticeable lag.
