Train Sim World: Rush Hour

First, hehe :P

Looks interesting, we have been dissecting it all weekend on the forum so hopefully a lot to chat about on the stream tonight.

 

Such a let down wheres the variety no new trains routs are practically the same as before

 

Yay love it!

 

Nice combo \o/

EDIT

1.

Praise the nice price \o/

2. Preservation no more. Free core update + $ bundle = good.
3. Amtrak & Riesa Dresden (with BR 101 and ICE!). Dreams come true.
4. Informative FAQ. Good job.
5. The new passenger system - intriguing - crowds on the platforms - is that possible?
6. A new gameplay features / information. Nice.
7. Hyped as train.

 

Get the hypetrain rolling Really excited to see what they will discuss on the stream this evening.

 

The worst kept secret, but mega excited for this release.

 

Wish I'd have known it was only going to be an article. I can go back to work now

 

Really exited for rush hour release, certainly seems like a midnight release purchase so far

 

As much as... yeah, we know... let me say Rush Hour looks like it might be a spectacular DLC, yes it features familiar rolling stock, but it also contains some long wanted routes and if done properly, it will be cheered for a long time.

So please, DTG. PLEASE! Do these routes justice and make them well. Don't rush the Rush Hour.

 

So there's no live stream ? Just a article

 

I'm very excited to see the Brighton Mainline Route and how they will handle all of the services. I'm hoping for a Thameslink Class 700, 387, or 319 to appear as a Loco DLC in the future.

The Amtrak route also interests me, I like how we are finally getting another NEC Route, and that MBTA is finally coming to TSW 2.

The German Route has me torn. I'm not a big fan of some of the rolling stock chosen for the route, however, Layering could probably change the way I feel about the rolling stock.

 

The question now is, will anything be sneak peaked tonight with Matt being involved in the stream.

 

The stream is tonight. Roadmap/Rush Hour with Sam, Matt and Adam.

 

yep that's what it said on there posts though they are mentioning it in tonight's roadmap stream

 

Yes, did you not catch on to that? The roadmap stream tonight will feature some rush hour talk.

 

Dissapointed that there are no new trains for the Brighton mainline or Riesa-Dresden.

 

I am 1000% definitely buying this. It includes two of my favourite routes. Brighton Mainline: London Victoria to Brighton and Bahnstrecke Riesa - Dresden, including Northeast Corridor Boston - Providence.

 

387 is technically new

 

Let’s wait and see what other DLC may be announced in due course.

 

This should of had a live stream. Some glamour to it being such a big announcement

 

Yep it is.

 

Steam page has just gone up for Rush Hour. Interesting section on the three routes here:

Steam Page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1490114/Train_Sim_World_2_Rush_Hour/

 

You should stop comparing it to TS. Every route is new to TSW and not everyone has played TS.

I’m looking forward to the Brighton Main Line and Boston - Providence. Given we’re in a pandemic and travel is restricted it makes sense to reuse locos. They’re working with their hands tied and doing a decent job of it.

 

I wonder if Brighton Mainline will join up with East Coastway. Maybe.

 

No I did not haha my mistake. Not the end of the world

 

I just hope DTG does the routes justice. SEHS was a bit too wonky for my liking.

 

100% would buy it now, I don't mind that we don't get a new German train.

 

Only in small nuances, and even then i doubt they will actually be implemented.

 

I haven't ever played ts and you can still travel in the uk so my point remains its lazy at this point

 

I’m hoping this will be the case, but trying to keep my optimism down in the gutter.

 

What do you mean? I'm pretty sure it's only these three for rush hour right?

 

I’d be very surprised if they did this.

 

No announcement trailer? I had hoped to see some footage today.

Anyway, this looks like a neat package. I drove on the Gatwick Express when I visited London in 2017, so definitely looking forward to that.

 

What is lazy about this update?

 

Here's a summary of my thoughts on the routes:

Brighton Mainline: While I'm certainly disappointed it's another Electrostar route in South East England I'm pretty excited for it. It's a fantastic route. Hopefully we'll see more variety in future modern British routes.

Boston- Providence: I've missed the Amtrak route from TSW2020, so I'm happy to see a similar route return. Looking forward to it.

Riesa- Dresden: This is definitely the one I'm least enthusiastic about. To me it just looks like yet another modern German route I'll struggle to distinguish from the dozens of others in the game. It's not for me, but hopefully those who like those routes will be happy with it.

I just hope I can get my hands on a PS5 to take advantage of the new improvements coming.

 

There’ll be future DLC.

 

Rush Hour - the slowest hour of the day. It lasts for two hours, feels like four hours, and happens twice a day. Recreated in the form of trains stuck at signals and too many passengers for the services to cope with. Everybody is late, everybody is tired and grumpy, and it’s going to be marvellous. See that red signal? That’s your dinner going cold that is. Can’t wait.

 

Not for rush hour, it's a stand alone add on.

 

I misunderstood then from the marketing of this. I thought there be a stream at 4 then the roadmap stream being the roadmap as normal. Great to see new content , people will be happy to see Nec is back.

 

Well what do you think no new German trains we will have 3 electrostars with this and they have just updated the trains from original nec

 

Großenhain? Meißen????? DD-Flughafen??????? OK, I'm sold, BRD will be amazing!!!

 

It is 3 new routes for 24.99, the price of a normal DLC. So the fact the trains are not something totally different is a relatively moot point, this will, like all the main releases, be very good value for money.

 

lol you guys arent even done bringing PIS to older routes and now you are looking to bring this rush hour thing to all those routes too? At this speed PIS & this rush hour feature will be in all routes in 2030 xd

 

Really excited about the NEC route!

 

Looking forward to this. Basically three routes for the price of one plus the updated base program so even if you don’t want one of the routes it is still good value.

Edited. For those who have read my initial post, I’ve just re-read the article and what I wrote is explained. I must have missed it the first time. So I have deleted this part of my post.

 

They’ve still had to make these routes as well as the Rush Hour features, the fact they’re reusing trains is valid but that’s a business decision, they’re in it to make money. I hope you enjoy the new update

 

With even more passengers, station announcements are even more critical

 

Rush Hour isn’t the core update. Think of Rush Hour as an add-on. The core update will be separate.

 

Looking forward to NEC. Shame that London-Brighton will only include Electrostars tho
