I know lol I was joking. I have to admit, however, that some of the stuff I've been reading from this guy does sound very convincing, probably aided by his amazing writing skills. Also, it's really strange that he's so extremely active, even though he only joined last month (The same day that Dmitri left). But the inconsistencies in his "spoilers" and "leaks" show that, as you say, he's probably just a very naughty boy with lots of time. It's been fun talking here, but I think I'm going to take a break until Tuesday afternoon, since the hype of what's actually coming next week is killing me.
Maybe the London underground? It is very unlikely, however, the yellow could stand for the circle line, the red for the central line, the blue for the piccadilly line, and the grey for the jubilee line. While it is incredibly unlikely for them to include all of these lines, this announcement is the first major scheduled one for TSW.
let's hope they aren't going to waste our time people have been waiting for fixes,editor & steam not tsw2021 because that needs no hype at all it will happen every year but that's my opinion thought
It wouldn’t because they would tease it first then announce it Why do a stream when you’re only gonna tease the route
I don’t know if you guys see this but... There is a different shaded blue on the D at trainsimworld.com That could mean something
On Sam's stream yesterday he said Matt is streaming on Tuesday, didn't say what though so it might be on youtube. If your interested you could ask DTG Protagonist ( Sam/Colonel Failute ).
Unlimited magic the blue on the D resembles the blue of Southesterns SE refurb trains class 375. A route out of London Victoria????? This is reinforced by the colours on the other letters resembling the NSE livery ( Network SouthEast ) so I think that's a good bet. The colours also resemble that of SouthWest Trains livery. Who knows, we're have to wait and see?????
That's only on the instagram post and not on the Facebook one. It could mean something but I think it's just a coincidence
Could be, I doubt it but you never know it could be. TBH I want the 387 and 800 because the 166 gets a bit stale in my opinion. You can't beat another electrostar though, who doesn't like an electrostar.
Im not a real fan of British railways but there locomotives are pretty much one of the best in design like the 800 & the 375 but I hope we can get a high speed line for the uk
i if they were to add the class 800 and 387 to gwe, they would have to electrify the current line we have and modernize it since it was built before the crossrail and electrification peirod. I'm not sure if they want to do that
It wouldnt take much effort to modernise the line, just add a few poles and wires. Of which could be copied and pasted.
Sorry but this is total nonsense. The Great Western Mainline has changed massively since it was set in TSW. Its simply not as easy as just "adding a few poles". Changes includes: - Track layouts - Signalling - Electrification - Track speeds - Platform lengths and station layouts. - Rolling stock - Timetables A 'modern' GWE would be a completely separate DLC. There's no way GWE would be updated and upgraded for free, as it goes against its 2016 era of which is was designed to run in.
Looks like it's a Swedish route but the black and red looks like this https://www.globalrailwayreview.com/article/34460/east-link-project/
I know it's been mentioned before but the shades of red and gray look like an OBB Railjet. Maybe the dark gray is a little brighter on the train.
londonmidland if you read my first post on the topic, you would it said "I doubt it will happen". I'm fully aware it would be a separate DLC please tell me where I said otherwise? The only track speeds changed are out of Paddington.The timetables have changed very little, not that it matters considering this route was NEVER based on the real timetable. Also if DTG are getting more money it's always a possibility.
The East Link project is under construction at the moment and at this point it has not been decided what trains that will run there. So the Red/White does probably not stand for the swedish EMUs. Actually most of the high-speed trains in Sweden have a gray colour, at least the ones operated by the governent owned company SJ. The only real train that I can think of that is red would be the MTR express that operates between Stockholm and Gothenburg
I think that is where you implied modernising the current route, by adding stuff to it. You don’t shy away from wanting to argue every little point with any other member here, do you? But nobody can say anything about your posts without being pounced on. You really need to cut that out, you’re spoiling the forum for everyone.
Lol the announcement will surely not going to be an update of GWE as some may know I am a huge oppenent when it comes to updating route eras of already existing ones, every route is set in its era and that's it. Second for the announcent it will be TSW 2021, and also a route announcement or bundle could be possible along with many improvements and fixes i'd guess and it'll be in the UK. I'd wish for a not too old route with at least one DMU or EMU cause I'm getting annoyed with all those BR Locos, and also probably with one High-speed train. Also as it seems it could be a bundle or a longer route. Besides I am thrilled and can't wait untill Thuesday. A surprise for sure!
I really think there's some overthinking going on here, everyone's immediately jumping to all these far-fetched conclusions when IMO the colors probably don't have to do with a new route at all, probably just the routes that will be bundled with TSW2021 and some random patterns to "look cool." I don't think this is about a new route at all, only that there *might* be one hinted at in passing in the announcement for deluxe edition. And... yeah, I'm guilty of this a bit too. I got my hopes up a bit when someone posted about Rivet Games, but that's already been dispelled by Rivet themselves, I've heard. Just... don't set your expectations TOO high here, most likely
How long have you been on this forum lol I still think it's probably a website update rather than anything useful, worthwhile or possibly relevant. I stand to be corrected tomorrow
I started this: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/baseless-speculation-thread.12279/ so... yeah
I would have to agree with you. GWE is set in the time of Robin Hood, when the land of what is now know as England was covered completely in trees, well before the agrarian revolution (hence lack of farms) and before modern building methods (hence lack of buildings). Having electricity added to GWE would involve a massive amount of work.... but maybe it would bring some lighting effects to GWE, NTP, etc... because candle-light can often be difficult to see from the driver's cab.
Colonel Failure expanded slightly on today’s announcement in the live stream last night by saying there will be a live stream on Thursday with himself and Matt to answer any questions we have regarding the announcement.. It still could be TSW 2021 but I’m starting to think it’s something else, did they do this for TSW 2020, I can’t remember. This could be something big. He starts talking about it at the 14:55 mark
Every time a new bundle is released there are ALWAYS people confused about what is in there, what isnt in there, what am I entitled to if I own x, what am I entitled to if I own y, how much do I pay if I already own z......so I probably wouldn't read too much into that.
Maybe, but like said, I can’t remember Matt and a Dmitri doing a dedicated Q&A live stream to answer questions regarding TSW 2020. I do remember people asking what do I get for buying x, what do I get if I own y and what do I need to do to get TSW 2020, in other non-dedicated streams around the time it was released.
I hope it's gonna be TSW 2021 with new features. Fingers crossed that they'll finally add the editor and maybe even multiplayer! I doubt they'll add VR though because you'd need a NASA PC to run it and the consoles can't even imagine trying to handle that. Especially the Xbox, which doesn't even have a VR headset to my knowledge lol.
I’m starting to think Red and white for DB Blue and yellow for CSX Maybe this stream won’t be related to routes maybe Or at the end they will tease the flagship route
Hmm interesting The fact he says there isn’t a stream today and tomorrow is interesting since there might be something for tomorrow
