What do you think Dovetail will revealed on their live stream. i have a hunch that it will be the next installment of TSW. Does anyone remember the last year winter 2025 survey question, cause i think it will have some thing to do with our answer to those question. Did anyone took a photo of picture of the all the question that was on the survey? If anyone did please post the survey picture here so that we can a idea of whats feature and stuff might be coming on that day. Hmmm i wonder what route will be the core please DTG do not include tadami line as one of the base route, for the next installment, that won't be fair to the community. Does anyone have a idea what these route might be? It have to be the same one US Route, one Britan Route, and One German Route or they might switch it up.
TSW7 will be confirmed. Three new DTG routes announced. New features announced that when released won't work properly and will take the rest of 2026 and a good chunk of 2027 to just get into a barely workable state. New routes announced by Third Parties. Updates about Tadami. A remaster or two for older routes. Pretty much what happens every year.
Exactly and i guess they will reduce a lot of stuff to prevent issues on console. Maybe they will skip the new features. They have very few space to use RAM better they spend no extra RAM at all.
I honestly don't know what to think about this on one hand, if they release tadami for TSW7, DTG won't see my money on the deluxe pack this year (unless the US content turns out to be really good) on the other hand, tadami steam page still exists, so it's not out of the question that they might release it for TSW6 before the TSW7 release day
Colour me cynical, but assuming it follows suit and is TSW7… A couple of “feature” updates that will add very little to the game and probably not work properly. However the stuff which matters like more save game slots, passenger behaviour and optimisation will be kicked down the road again. Three so, so routes - I’m guessing after last years Devon route we will be back in electrified urban territory for the UK, modern trains easy to drive and next to no sound in the cab. Germany will be the same old double track electrified 60km interurban with the sea of DB Red everywhere. US will be another commuter dirge around New York or Boston. This year the Deluxe pack will likely be upwards of £70 and presage an across the board price rise of 15 or 20% on DLC. We will get a few glimpses of what might be coming as once again the DTG management swoon and coo over a few screenshots from the editor or 3D modelling programme without any proof of concept or completion beyond that (there may be honourable exceptions like Firefly or AABS). Away from TSW, well the Sodor fans will hopefully get something to enhance their standalone route. TSC will be ignored. All presented with the usual high fives and hyperbolic nonsense, to actually produce very little of substance. TBH at this point I’m more excited about the SimRail route extension releasing tomorrow, than the Dovetail Direct. Or getting Stainmore Summit working again with its patch in TSC. I could be wrong of course…
Tadami Line is a third-party route, it won't be part of a DTG set of 'core routes'. As previously mentioned, there's already a long thread speculating on this subject: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/so-what-routes-will-we-get-in-tsw7.98026/unread
I'm afraid you're right. This year optimization is my personal top priority. If the direct doesn't promise improved optimization, I'm not interested in TSW7, no matter what features or routes it'll feature. The stutttttering has come to a point where it ruins my joy when playing the game.
I settle for a game that does not CTD every chance it gets. Along with no blurry textures. And just maybe jobs/scenarios where you dont get spad right at the beginning. And scenarios where you can complete them. And not get stuck half through. But we know they dont care about all that they just our money for tsw7 when it comes.
I also put optimization first before anything. Do you guys remember what you put as number 1. Thats why i was hoping one of you might have the survey and the community can look at it and see what they remember putting as their answer
Announcing that DTG were about to be taken over by Frontier would suit me just fine. Two more big updates/DLC announced by those guys this week for Planet Coaster 2. Unlike each addition for TSW, these actually enhance the game and are proof that Frontier listen to the audience. For me it feels recently like DTG just pump out release, after release, without listening to anybody apart from their accountants.
Yeah, I'm trying to think, of all the new "features" that they've included with each yearly release, what features actually work properly? I can't think of even one!
The only DLC that doesn't get blurred is what you don't buy. Maybe a new motto for TSW7 on consoles? At the end of the day, the motto of expect the unexpected was confirmed 110% in TSW6
Well, it's certainly fun seeing how many comments into a new thread we get to before the moaning about DTG and/or other developers takes over. Well done, we're still on page one. We've surpassed ourselves this time. I'm tempted to start a thread entitled "Rank your top ten biscuits" just to see the skill and mastery as someone turns it into a "Why I hate DTG" conversation. Perhaps via some sort of comment about there being no biscuits to rank because x developer always takes the biscuit. I'll leave the mental gymnastics to someone more competent though. I often recite the story of the woman who was really disrespectful to counter staff at a coffee shop in Liverpool Street station. After she'd done speaking to the staff like a spoiled brat she turned to me and said "They always get my order wrong". To which my response was "Why don't you go somewhere else then?"
