Gwe Remaster: Appreciation And Discussion Thread

Anyone for popcorn? get ya dtg popcorn, half price in the winter sale.

 

Anyways that special announcement thing is probably the yearly free route

 

Yes. Or more Thomas

 

If you're getting in a tizzy about whether a video game will be cancelled or not, it's maybe time to have a serious talk with yourself.

 

They may give all their customers a free route of their choice for Christmas.

Come on DTG show us how much you appreciate us all

 

Just to keep you on tenterhooks the additional content is class 175 added to the Plymouth / Penzance section of GWR enjoy!

 

About the only thing that might change, and would be a positive for most of us, is indeed that the update has been incorporated into an extension of the original route to Oxford and/or TV branches and as a result will now be a paid product. This I would most definitely welcome as, 1. It would reward Liam for the many hours spent on the project and, 2. It would turn GWE into what the route should have been to start with.

 

The era they chose already messed things up. Anything before 2015 or if they waited till 2017 or after to do the route would’ve been better.

 

Why come across as an alleged victim with a chip on his shoulder because you’re a console player?
Perhaps because you know you’re getting a fraction of what pc players are going to be getting in the future. No mods either!
Stip gaslighting as a victim and admit consoles just don’t have the computing power for this game going forward. On top of thought a lot of console players just want simple trains and most pc players want complex trains.
You might get cheap likes from your console buddies, but let’s face it you’re pretty much stuffed so you need to take it out on someone, right?
Now I’ve got better things to do than argue with the likes of you because I worked hard and saved up for a good pc and I’m loving this game.

 

If console is stuffed then so is TSW as a whole. DTG will not get to a stage where they cut off two thirds of their playerbase. Financially it's suicidal and the game as you love it now wouldn't be the same if they got rid of consoles.

Also generalising that people on console want simpler stuff just isn't true.

 

Actually more like 80%

 

Us peasant console players will be getting the already delayed GTA6 before you almighty PC players so we will see who's doing the whinge and whining when that's released...

Yet again, Gen9 consoles have perfectly capable hardware for complex games. I don't need to go round in circles with it either. The comments on this thread already exist. But I think the snobbery and attitude coming off of you in regards to console players is quite over the top. To say people are playing victims? Listen to yourself! The only thing going on is your snobby attitude. That's just out of order quite frankly.

I have no grudges against most PC players, I don't have a problem with Xbox players, or Playstation players. If the item is sold to work on our devices then it should work as such. And I'm confident after the most recent roadmap live stream DTG are finally going to try and plough through all the core issues causing problems on consoles. Then we will see in the flesh it is perfectly capable hardware...

If it wasn't for consoles, who bring in the most income I believe, the game wouldn't be as strong or as big as it is... You can call us what you want, but we make up the majority of the players.

Back on the topic of GWE Remaster, I'm so excited for Mondays little teaser, a full 10 minute preview... Looking to be a VERY tasty remaster!

 

GWE was TSW's first passenger route, first UK route, first route with stations, passengers, coaches with interiors and operating doors, first with safety systems, and first with a major bespoke asset (Paddington). 32 miles was plenty ambitious for the first attempt

The era they chose was very deliberate- the last hurrah of the HST as Queen of the Mainline. Later you'd just get flying cucumbers; earlier poses all the problems of vintage routes. As it was they could reproduce the route exactly as it was when they surveyed it.

DTG does have a yen for 'historic preservation;' they deliberately set Main-Spessart in the last days of the Ramp right before it was bypassed.

 

To bring in a totally different angle on the pc vs. console discussion. I´m suprised there are so many players on console. Because most of the players will be males and/or train nerds/technical nerds. When I was growing up, all those kind of guys had a PC at home for gaming. To be honest, every male I knew growing up had a PC. It´s also great for watching shows, movies, researching, working or just browsing the net. I would not want to live without a desktop pc and most males I know (no matter what age) feel the same way. If you love TSW and gaming, just safe up for a PC? You won´t regret it.

 

There is a HUGE difference - especially in price - between a PC you can use for websurfing, spreadsheets, email and watching videos, and the high-horsepower, high-dollar monster needed for satisfactory gaming (which then has to be continually upgraded). I would say that most every console gamer owns a modest desktop or laptop PC. and probably has less invested in that and the console combined than a latest-and-greatest gaming PC would cost.

 

If other companies can make high quality racing game massive open world RPGs other sim games. That work perfectly on consoles. What the hell is the problem with TSW. All we seem to get is excuse after excuse.

 

There is a thread in the forums on oldest TSW player, turns out alot of us are also in our 60's and 70's who are playing the game.

I for one born in 53 never had a personal computer in my life. It was after my time so for me the ease of a plug and play system is why I choose a console.

I hate PC's.

 

Okay, I get it. It´s not for everyone. I would not want to play this game without all the layers and great mods like Winzartens weather app. I´m not saying everyone needs to get a pc and consoles are bad. I´m just saying I feel it´s the better experience... not feel, it´s fact at this point in TSW history. No blurry textures, no missing layers and loads of great mods.
I also agree that the game is badly optimised. We feel that on PC also....

 

Do we really have to have yet another thread degenerate into PC vs console players? Can we not all accept that everybody, regardless of the platform they're on, wants the game to look and play as well as their hardware is able to?

 

You said it mate

 

Gotta love the forums

 

You paying? Because quite a lot of us console males don’t exactly have that money
