I hope that isn’t true. We do not need TSW4. I certainly don’t want TSW4 until TSW3 is running smoothly and efficiently with the fewest of bugs. I cannot see the point of new games every year as TSW4, thenTSW5 a year later and TSW6 in another 12 months. To me that is stupid. Rebrand the game Train Sim World and issue yearly updates and improvements. I thought DTG had admitted there would not be a TSW4 for some time, maybe I dream’t that. DTG should continue to work on Three and have it running to a standard they are proud of. Remember every time there is a new game, all the previous add-ons have to be downloaded to run in the new game. Do we want all that hassle and bother every year. Keep TSW3 as it is or rebrand it, it is the way forward!
A lot of stuff from TSW2 got fixed in TSW3. Maybe these yearly upgrades are the path to fixing stuff?!
Also a lot of stuff from TSW 2020 & TSW2 got broke in TSW3 and we're still waiting for it to be fixed! We're still waiting for the final preservation crew improvements for TSW2 that we were promised would be released shortly after TSW3 too but we all know what happened there.
Oh yes, we do, like 143 Sound which doesn't work properly since TSW2. It is a shame, just a shame. Ppl. are also still waiting for the announced TSW2 fixes "long term support" and so on. Nothing ever happens. I also doubt that TSW4 will have really "new" features, maybe we get paid FSR and DLSS integration for example. I said that earlier, I do not have a problem in paying money for getting a supported product or at least support for a product. The main issue remains, that their is basically no real bug fixing. The biggest problems will be fixed and then they move on. I doubt we will ever see announcement boards on Linke Rheinstrecke added for example. We will never get just one loco of a type instead of a whole bunch of different versions etc with different features etc.
Simple, the point is to charge money for it. If it was just an update every year, no pennies for DTG from it. Personally I would not have a big issue with this model, IF their bug fixing policy wasn't what it is. They are not even able to fix some of the signs along the track, where the issue is literally just to rewrite one number to another, but they have balls to ask for more money for more bugged content. This is what I completely do not understand.
Well, we can only hope that things from now on will change with the new owner of DTG after TSW4, but yes I doubt it :-D
I disagree. There can always be an update with three new routes for £40. So DTG get their moneys worth.
I’m sure there’ll be a few more teasers and JD gaffes between now and the 22nd. Anyhow first part of the prophecy fulfilled, we got the announcement about the announcement!
Ok so now that TSW4 (or whatever they're gonna call it) is essentially confirmed, it's time for even more wild speculation: New features? New TOC license maybe? New country in the Train Sim World? What do we think?
Maybe you should take the tinfoil hat off! Seems your "team" don't have a clue what they're talking about!
True, but new title always looks optically better. It would be a lot harder to "sell" the idea to the general public, that does not come to these forums and does not know what's what. Plus how would you explain releasing new routes that require "this paid update to work"? While when having the title clearly separated from the old one, they can just easily state "for this route you need TSWx", which is sold here.
What if they removed the number system from here on out and just call it Train Sim World in the future?
Ok but what will it be if it is not TSW4? Have you looked at all the evidence that was presented? Everything we are seeing now is going like predicted. I've seen proof enough. But you could change my mind with the evidence that proofs it is not TSW4
Rush hour was paid? As far as I remember it was a core update with 3 released routes as a bundle. The core was updated for everyone for free so any subsequent routes released after those 3 in the bundle worked without any additional purchase.
A big Update/ lot of new content for TSW3. The only proof that will satisfy me would be an official announcement of TSW4. Before that, I don't believe that there is a TSW4 coming. I need decisive proof and leaks or questionable entries in a store does not fit that for me.
They can’t. It will make it hard/impossible to block certain DLCs from being upgraded to the new version. Have a non-versioned, continuous live service game will imply to users that all content will always remain compatible.
Is your job ethirr a detective or a forensic scientist or someone that works in the police? Only someone with that sorta job would think like that. XD (joking) Fair enough. Just know you'll have your proof soon enough!
You won’t believe a cricket ball is going to hit you in the face until you have concrete evidence such as pain and blood. There’s quite enough evidence to deduce this isn’t just some new DLC bundle. DTG would not duplicate every item of DLC, which we are certain they have done, unless it was going into a new version of the game which needs them. Also, the DTG Direct video says Train Sim World on it. If it was just the continuation of TSW3 it would say TSW3 on it, like all other branding and promotion. You can duck out of the way of the ball when you have enough evidence from studying its trajectory. You do not need to be struck in the face to know it would strike you in face.
That’s right. It showed that you don’t need to add a number to TSW for a release of new routes to be a success.
Ya never know. Maybe someone's got a mole within DTG! XD Lmao, I can already imagine Matt conducting movie like interrogations like: “WHO HAVE YOU TOLD THIS TIME JD??!!“
If you look at my nickname, you could imagine in which area my profession lies... And yes, in my job I need decisive evidence. If they want to announce a TSW4 they don't need am new format. That alone doesn't mean anything. Like I said before: We'll see. Maybe I am right or I will have to admit defeat. I am just no fan of speculating in general, thats what I wanted to say when I said that I want decisive proof..
That would cause even more confusion. Tsw2020, tsw2, tsw3, tsw. Players would think tsw is the very first game of the series
First there was the leak that have seem to be very accurate up until now as the database from Epic shows that the same amount of routes as TSW3 has been uploaded + pre purchase items and the new routes that would come with this bundle. Or DTG is releasing a huge amount of routes that will make you get a second job to afford them all on day one or it's TSW4
Ok, i'll play: Ny Penn-New Haven is 75 miles per the timetable. Could certainly be another 1.6 miles to be found.
