Dovetail Games Mattel’s Thomas & Friends™ Is Coming To Train Sim World!

I expected disappointment, and got nothing but disappointment.

 

This has got to be a LOVE take.

 

Same, was fun watching all the guesses though.

 

It has to be a joke right?

 

I think it's quite cool! Would love to see the Island of Sodor one day.

 

No... seriously? Is this a joke?

 

As expected - DTG masters of leading by the nose

 

They could have done this in April.....

 

Well... That was truly lacklustre... Great for kids but wow... Was expecting a new route/new country/new loco...

 

We really waited 20 days for this...

Not even the "Train Sim World 2 Announcement" from 2021 which was hyped up and turned out to be a quick cash grab was this bad! This is a new low!

 

What? Is it April Fools yet?

 

So we can expect improvements to steam simulation, right? Right?

 

I was expecting a brand new route this is disappointing

 

1984: TSW Edition

 

Very very disappointing DTG!

 

bruh

 

This is a serious train sim game NOT a kids game. What's on earth are Dovetail thinking !! What's an absolute anti climax.
Bah Humbug

 

At least it's clear what DTG's target audience is...

 

Well, Steam is back!

 

Ain’t no one but the kiddies gonna buy this joke, worse reveal ever, I mean cmon our expectations where low but this nahhhhhh ain’t nobody got time for that

 

This is a cruel joke! I have not experienced greater disappointment today.
I love English humor, but that was rude!

 

This is by far the worst of the announcements. Its a shame the only proper announcement that we had no prior knowledge or hints of is the most disappointing one.

 

I'm a member of the Thomas Fandom and I get it's the 80th anniversary of the Railway Series next year but this is taking the p-ss now

 

DTG has officially jumped the shark!

 

I expected disappointment but I didnt think it would be THIS disappointing

 

Haha, I guess DTG doesn’t read the room here too well, topping the reveals off with this one :’)

Personally I’m not interested, but business-wise it’s probably a winner

 

As the kids say: "Take the L, take the L"

 

This is going down well.

I'm going to wager that most TSW players are over the age of 5, so are going to have little to no interest in this.

Always better to prepare for disappointment, as then you're never disappointed when the inevitable happens.

 

Just a commercial bullshit trick

 

ITS NOT EVEN A ROUTE ITS LITERALLY JUST THOMAS AS A LOCO ADDON! THIS IS LITERALLY THE BIGGEST CASH GRAB I HAVE SEEN FROM DTG!

 

"That's our dovetail"

 

I have never written much in these forums but as a player since the very first train sim world with all the dlc, I can say that after this announcement I say goodbye to this game and this company, it seems like a real mockery to the players.

 

Yes it does. Don't blame you

 

WOW, so this is the BIG reveal?
train sim world is no longer a simulator and it all started with holiday express and now this comes to further prove my point
train sim world is becoming a kids game

pathetic dtg, pathetic

 

Jeezo

 

The sad thing is these kinds of add-ons will continue because people will still buy them. What a disappointment.

 

Buy? I think they’d struggle to give it away!

 

Are you kidding me?? this was the big reveal?? This better be a joke. Hopefully the real reveal comes later today. This is geared towards kids. Not what we wanted. Thomas could have been for the TSW roblox game geared towards the much younger audience. I was hoping for rush hour or a big feature update and several additional routes and announcements.

 

Who's seriously going to buy this? I hope it's free...well no, even if it's free I don't think many people will play this route. Any previous revelation could replace this big revelation seriously it would go down well

 

Is this supposed to be a joke?
They whould have been better off with nothing

 

Safe to say this is the worst announcement in tsw history?

 

Actually made me laugh, especially the mischievous diesel.

 

This looks great

 

Terrible idea - and the licensing must have cost a fortune.

And it's the Rev Wilbert Awdry's Thomas, not Mattel's. Have some respect for a great children's author.

 

Oh wow. This made me laugh. I used to watch Thomas when I was a kid. This is definitely a suprise. Aren't steam physics still terrible though?

 

how many friends are inclueded

 

I was expecting nothing and still find myself disappointed. if big announcements are just gonna be things like this then why bother hyping it up

 

Yes by the looks of it
