Train Sim World 2 - Luzern - Sursee Coming March 24th

Can't wait for the preview this evening! Really looking forward to drive the 523 on a new kind of Swiss route with ETCS!

 

Will there be a launch discount for Sony users and why isn't there one for Harlem line?

 

Text says "coming 17th March"... Steam says "coming 24th March"

 

its the 24th the 17th was yesterday

 

Looks full of custom assets (buildings). 'The good scenery' title is possible to claim this time, perhaps.

 

Sony doesn't give DTG lot of sale slots so they can't do always release discounts, there are atm lot of other discounts on PS4 though.

 

But have Rivet done this route justice, or fudged it one way or another like all their past TSW2 releases?

 

Find out at preview I guess

 

There are some players though (myself included) who sit on a fence regarding a dlc and a launch sale can help sway that decision. This was one for me and I probably won't purchase this one until its on reduced sale.

 

Screenshots look pretty good, especially Lucerne station. Hope there are a few passengers to make the trains worthwhile.

 

They do get quite a lot - there’s often a launch discount as well

 

Yes, absolutely. These 10% launch discounts create a bit of psychological pressure. If you don’t buy the route within the next few days, you’re going to have to wait months for the next sale. Without the launch discount, this pressure has disappeared. I’m probably going to buy Luzern-Sursee regardless (unless they somehow manage to disappoint us tonight, but I’m very optimistic) since it doesn’t cost as much as the other routes, but I’ll pass on Harlem for now.

 

The route was originally supposed to release before Harlem Line according to a comment made by Adam on the roadmap stream 3.5 weeks ago, so maybe they just forgot to update the draft of the article when they switched the release dates some time ago.

 

So this Swiss route is coming next week!
It looks interesting mainly to the Flirt train, it's features and design.
It's a pity will be so short in length.
I will see the streaming and the launch price, to have a final decision about purchase it or not.

Meanwhile I found this nice picture of the real train... with the right "destination"!



Have a nice week-end!

 

I can’t watch the stream tonight. Driving the 18 between Liverpool One and Croxteth all night. Will tune in tomorrow though.

 

Nothing new remember Xbox don’t get discounts either

 

Stream looks good so far. Scenery is great, ECTS is interesting, no notable bugs, good sounds.

 

Yeah yeah, it looks good, thats for sure.
But for the sounds... Those are horrible.

Just listen to this:

 

They are of good quality and half-prototypical what is a decent compromise Scenery is super good.

 

Pumped for this. I may have missed this info elsewhere, but have you shared how much storage space this will take up for PS5 owners?
I’d love to figure out which route/s I’ll need to delete so I can play them a bit more before I swap them out for this.

 

Stream convinced me, so i bought it right now.

 

Let me see the first European route to have positive train control system ETCS Level 1. If if the bugs persists and it will be treated another Rivet Games route

 

How many people here preorder it already, or day 1 purchase after watching the stream? I actually just went for it because the train is good, and the scenry

 

How does the PIS In station look? does it look like this

 

Interesting video of the company behind FLIRT

 

Yes indeed, the class 745 & 755 is made by stadler, also the mersey cl.777.

The former vossloh work in valenzia is producing the euro duals, and made the class 68 & class 88.

Flirts run even in russia, algeria and the usa (caltrain).

 

Liiiiieeee, in Russia impossible buy nothing right now)

P. S. Harlem Line too

 

I somehow don't think that is DTG's fault

 

Take that up with your president

 

Watching the stream, here is my feedback (for what it might be worth)…

1. The route looks very nice and rather detailed. I’m not familiar with the route in real life, so can’t say how accurately it is represented in game.
2. The train also looks really nice and detailed and it sounds rather pleasant.
3. The cab is far far too dark. Gloomy and depressing due to overly tinted windows. A bright, sunny day looks dismal and bleak. This would have to be fixed before I consider buying.
4. The FPS counter dived into the yellow on several occasions. I appreciate this was a dev build, but that worries me. I hate it when things get choppy and it could well put me off buying.
5. It’s a real pity the route that’s been chosen is so short.

Given this feedback, depending on whether or not the cab lighting is fixed and also depending on real life FPS reports from early buyers, this could be a buy from me (when discounted on sale).

On a side note, Jasper said Rivet Games is not a British company, but a Scottish company. Rivet Games is a British company based in Scotland.

 

Well yes there are sales for PS4, in general. TSW2 doesn't get a lot due DTG try to do discounts asap so they are no slots enough for release discount

 

Pretty much agree with everything Mat_Jam_Ca said. I do live nearby and know parts of the route well.

From the brief look in the preview it looks good. The stations along the route are very well modelled and the general buildings give a good representation of the area.

Luzern itself is a little bland. The physical buildings are pretty nice. But the main concourse is empty. No kiosk or food stalls and the main PIS and big screens at the end of the platforms aren’t modelled. I would love it to be that empty of people in real life.

It won’t spoil my enjoyment it’s clearly Luzern.

Generally though it’s looking like a nice route. I didn’t find the sound too bad and the bugs we did see won’t upset me that much. (Though I do hope fixes will arrive quicker than for Arosa)

 

the destination board on the train is correct yah! U can also change it to accurate other destinations!

On topic: Seems like a nice route. Looking forward to see some other stuff than German, English and American trains

 

DTG Natster this current situation doesn't allow you to just simply say 'take your politics elsewhere'. This conflict isn't about politics. It is about the very core of humanity. By censoring any critics you are a culprit to it

 

Creating a Sunflower train is a very political statement. Also, my post was about sympathy with the post from the guy who said he was no longer able to buy DLC because all payment systems are blocked. So what is the difference?

 

It could be enough in my opinion trying not to blame every Russian for this mess. This is more about the form of being informative.

Make trains not wars \o/

BR

 

Can we maybe calm down and keep the discussion about a swiss route DLC? Talk politics somewhere else, really. Yeah a sunflower train may be a symbol of peace. But why should this justify making every single thread in this forum about politics?

So, to keep it on topic: I think Rivets route building in a great improvement in comparison to arosa line. The tinting window of the flirt is a real problem tho, as it makes it nearly impossible to appreciate the route itself. The driving physics seem to be fine as well as sound. So nice to have the first swiss non-schmalspur as well as the very first Stadler train, the first time ETCS and the hopefully the first good rivet route.

 

I like the risk. I feel, I am alive. My very first ever pre-order of Rivet's work today will become the fact The scenery looks customish realistic good!

 

I saw the streaming and I agree with you.

As to point 3, I have noticed that, on some other TSW2 trains too.
Point 5 it was a really main issue for this route, before seeing it..

Another thing I have noticed, it is all vehicles are just cars. No trucks, no buses or other kind of them..

But things get worst for me after seeing the streaming, referred to the other main issue: how entertaining will be?:

- At the beginning they run an Scenario.
The Rivet games person was asked why he chose that one?
The reply was something like... "....
Because it is more entertaining due to you have to couple 2 trains, and ask permission to the dispatcher to advance to the other train.
The rest of them are just going from point A to B and stopping.. "

So all you will do with that route, is just going from Lucern to Sursee and vice versa, stopping on all stations or made the full route.

Then there not will be any other interesting thing.
Just repeating always the same routine!
Only time and weather will be the difference!.

Yes... of course this also happens on other routes. But...
They are longer, you have more than one train, the Scenarios are different, you have passenger and freight trains in most cases.

Even I noticed during the 3 runs they did, they only crossed just 2 other trains on each one!
So very few AI traffic. Then no busy operation to make it more entertaining.

Furthermore about ETCS, it looks great how its works, but during the stream, it was never applied!

This was because I noticed something strange not seen on other routes: before arriving at each station you always have a red light!.
But when you are slowing down to stop, it always changed the light to green.
So the system does not reduces the train speed, due to the driver it has to do it, in order to stop at the station platform..

Then there were no other driving situation, they show the system have to stop the train itself, due to a definitive red light.

So for me to just drive always from Lucern to Suresee or viceversa, on 100 hundred (or 1 thousand times), stopping on all stations - even several of them, very close each other-, with always the same train, for a so short route, and just crossing 2 trains, it is really very boring!

Then it is not even challenging.

As I like Swiss trains very much, I will have to wait for another route, longer and with more trains.

So from my point of view, it is not worth to buy it!.

 

I will pre-order this route. I was not moved to order Harlem for a number of reasons, but I want something new and fresh, so, after watching Rivet's own promos, I feel it's worth a shot. The length of the route is irrelevant to me, it's all about scenery, gameplay and the loco itself, all of which seem positive.

 

This is something I’ve been thinking about over the last few days. There doesn’t appear to be much service variety. I really think they should’ve gone for a longer route. But I also recognize the difficulties building a completely new train, implementing ECTS and adding working passenger displays inside/outside the train as well as in the stations. In addition to that, the attention to detail, textures and scenery all seem to be absolute top notch quality, which is something I really appreciate. If it doesn’t receive a launch discount, I might wait a few weeks until it’s on sale and instead go for West Cornwall Local and Rhein-Ruhr Osten, which are both heavily discounted on PlayStation right now.
