TSW 3 is a year old, and tommorow we're all gonna be playing TSW 4 tommorow. So I decided to make a bold prediction, save this thread in case we do get a TSW 5. I believe TSW 5 following the release trend will be: PRE-ORDER 10th October 2024 NORMAL RELEASE: 15th October 2024 Routes: USA: NYC Subway Line UK: SWML London Waterloo - Woking JPN: Kyushu Shinkansen line Locos: USA: NYC Subway UK: SWR Class 450, SWR Class 444, SWR Class 701, EWS Class 66. JPN: Bullet Train There will be an improved livery designer, formation planner, and scenario designer and will run on UE5. Of course TSW 5 will allow dlc's from the past 4 entry's of the franchise. Please remember this is a prediction answer I have NO evidence to back this up but obviously tsw 5 will be a thing at somepoint.
I believe you are shoving your hand down the loo, then throwing whatever poop you found there at a wall and making a completely pointless prediction from how much stuck too said wall.......
You do know this is technically an Ethric slur to Japanese people during WW2 right? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jap?wprov=sfla1
I think it's clear that the original user meant no offence by shortening the name for Japan, I have since modified the name.
Looking at NYT new/not yet live timetable beeing cut allready, it is obvious TSW is reaching its limits on current hardware.
All I'm going to say is this is very bold. I'm guessing being made as a joke. Swml seems like a really cool idea. But any route in/or out of London is probably wishful thinking. A Japanese route sounds interesting. Wasn't there a new partner that joined a while back that specialises in Asian routes? Could be them doing something in the future. NYC subway, I wouldn't be surprised tbh. This is a highly requested route from what I can tell and it deserves some love from dtg. All of these are very bold statements with no evidence but they are also interesting ideas. There was a similar thread a while back for tsw4 and TSW3. Look how they turned out Anyway. That's all from me. I'll be back this time next year to see if your predictions have been confirmed.
Even though it's highly requested, Matt stated it probably won't happen as the NYC subway is pretty restrictive on the recording of their equipment for reference purposes. So it probably won't happen.
On the other hand, they said that Thameslink probably wouldn't happen because licencing was a pain...
Licensing is one thing, an operator allowing the DTG team to access equipment so they can make it is another. DTG already has a good relationship with the MTA, with Metro North and the LIRR, but the Subway system seems a bit more restrictive. (Not to mention the hooligans that train surf on their cars)
It could probably be made in the editor by talented individuals. But for dtg, there are many challenges. Not being able to get references is one thing. Plus, you can't go on Google Earth and see what an underground subway system looks like. Cab ride videos at best. Dtg are exploring solutions but not something that is easy
Maik from tsg and dtg staff members explained that it's a full rebuild because most things are very different between the 2 engines. The track logic and environmental building from ue4 won't work in ue5. Maybe some meshes and models could port over but even that's no guarantees. With 80+ content of dlc, it would take much longer than a year.
Another route for TSW 5 USA NJ Transit RVL and NEC Trenton/High Bridge to NY Penn Germany to Netherlands 202 km Bochum/Duisburg-Oberhausen Arnhem Utrecht speaking of this No German/Austrian PZB route therefore it has to be this USA NYC Subway UK SWML Japan Kyushu Shinkansen Fukuoka-Kagoshima Germany/Austria SFS Rosenheim-Innsbruck
I don't understand this obsession with Unreal Engine 5. Almost all predictions for the next game title include Unreal Engine 5 :/
They're under the impression it'll make the game "better", despite being told otherwise. If it did happen, they would all complain that their current library is unplayable anyway.
Well I guess the reason is its the better game engine. But I suppose old dlc's won't work as others mentioned.
If any Japanese rail line find there way into any TSW game they will NEVER approve anything less then a high quality effort.Meaning if DTG tries to release some half working broken barely tested mess dlc route.That rail company will roast them to no end.
Well i will not be purchasing it, whatever it's called and whenever it is released. I didn't buy TSW3, only 2 and the versions before. I am already regretting buying 4. DTG will not catch me out again. What little money i have to spend from my pension. Will be spent on Simrail, Run8 and the truck sims. Really looking forward to the new Australian Truck World.
Will they create another London Underground route? They gave done multiple Anerican routes but they have limited London routes. The company is based in Chatham so they should mainly focus on routes that they have an idea about.
Seeing how widely requested London Underground routes are I'd be surprised if they didn't make another one, I've seen lots of requests for the Metropolitan Line, Piccadilly Line or a late 90's Northern Line Route. DTG said they found the Bakerloo Line was quite challenging for them to make due to the high number of stations and light baking for the tunnels so I'm guessing the next route if they did one, would be a sub-surface line. In the meantime we've had a London Overground route teased so that's something to look forwards to in the next few months.
Limited London routes my arsenal! There are many other areas not just in the world, but within Britain which haven't been covered. Perhaps the Met would be acceptable, but I still think there are many eras and areas in GB to be covered (Wales, East Anglia, 70s, 90s, 00s) before going back to sodding South east electrostar routes. Perhaps a back dated (70s/80s) 3rd rail route would be a good way to cater for the SE without repeating what has been done in the game before.
I would love the GEML or any other London Underground route but I must say London has the coolest train network but I appreciate your response
I would love the Metropolitan line and it would be slightly easier than the other Underground routes.
You're right about certain regions lacking coverage, personally I'd like to see the GEML from Liverpool Street with some classic BREL Electrics, but technically we only have one 4th Rail Route in the game, which is Bakerloo Line.
I would love another London Underground route and I appreciate your response. I think that it would be extremely popular as it is highly requested and the London Underground is the coolest network in the world. Just out of interest, what would be your dream route in TSW4.
We need a fourth rail route. I am so excited for the Goblin Line to get released but I will not purchase the game until it gets released because of how poor the routes are. This needs to change and the London Underground has many requests. It depends on whether they care to look at the forums or not.
Yes please! We technically have NO Welsh routes in game, we technically also have NO East Anglian routes in game, we also technically have NO 70s routes in game, we also... I think you get the gist of it.
The GEML route would be a great route if they could not be bothered to make a London Underground line. Do not get me wrong, I can see the effort that Tsw put into there routes but I do not think they listen to the community.
No problem mate, I'd like to see the Piccadilly Line the most since that has multiple branches and a varied service pattern, a good balance of Underground and Overground running, and I do quite like the 1973 Stock. Followed by that I'd have to say the Northern Line because it was my local for many years but I understand that's unlikely in it's current incarnation due to ATO and the sheer amount of stations, so I'd be happy with a backdated 1990's version with the 1972 Stock and 1959 Stock. What would your favourite be?
Are you Japanese? If not it ain't your place to 'be offended', but even then. The idea that we have to cut off using words because of misanthropic past usage is ridiculous, I don't mean inducting typically 'egregious words' into modern lexicon with reckless abandon, but come on, it seems silly & petty to police someone's innocuous use of a word, you went out of your way to get that link. The word 'Jap' could well be in the same vein as as 'kraut', 'hun', 'boche', or even 'Jerry' for Germans during times of war. No doubt Axis powers had derisory language for the Allies too.
Me too and for Underground route the solution might be JT trying to bring in their Metropolitan line route to TSW 4/5. For TSW 5 Union Workshop might have Asia edition Japan Toikaido Shinkansen Nagoya to Kobe China Hong Kong KCR Guangzhou Hong Kong Philippines MRT Line 2 Recto to Antipolo or Line 3 North Ave to Taft Ave via Cubao
The Northern line is a spectacular Line but there may be a divide in its popularity. The picadilly line would be great and it would be a great way to preserve the current trains history before the new Stock get released in 2025. I agree that the Picadilly would definitely be a great route and I hope it will feature. The variation it offers is amazing.
I do not understand why they cannot transfer the Metropolitan line. It must be easier than starting from scratch. I especially love the S7 stock that they use and the variation. Great suggestion!
