Ps5 Improvements

Merge all German and Austria routes together
Merge all Uk Routes together

And all new routes will Merge into the existing routes
Same for all existing in game the only way forward in to upgrade the core to UE5.3 and have a bigger world it’s painful for me to say that it’s about time to forget about the older Generation 8 of consoles and start thinking about the newer generation 9 consoles I know people don’t like change and not everyone cup of tea but you have to start thinking about Reality it’s going to happen sooner than you think the graphics are amazing in 4K and it’s like a computer and very powerful
In 2024 I think TSW5 will come out with UE5.3.
For PlayStation 5 Xbox X/S epic and steam
It’s going to happen sooner than you think

 

They can't merge everything together. Different time periods exist. You can't merge a steam route with a modem 2023 route. Not every route shares a common point and are scattered in different parts of the world. Making every single route the same time period reduces variety.

It also introduces brand new challenges. You need multiple and dynamic timetables. 2 route merged requires 3 separate tts. 3 requires 7, etc. Then if you make changes to one tt, you have to make it to all, making it a timetable nightmare.

Also performance reasons. You can only make a route so big

 

Not yet another post claiming a move to UE5 and Gen 9 exclusive.

It's not going to happen. End of.

 

As someone who is going into TSW4 as a PS5 player, formally pc prior to the Incident


How is this a PS5 improvement

 

It's yet another (insert appropriate word or words here) thread about nothing.

 

A route can be any length in the game. Route length isn’t limited by performance. It’s how much detail is loaded into memory at any given point so all routes are broken down into tiles that load and unload as needed.

 

Depends on what new rolling stock gets added. The more new types you have, the more memory it uses. Depending on the route, it might or might not be able to handle extra new trains since everything is still loaded into memory waiting to be loaded in if that makes sense. If it's the same train the impact would be less

 

The problem is there would be no point. There are very little interchanges beetween existing TSW routes and as many routes are set in diffrent time periods it will feelweird having a Jubilee with Mk1 coaches steaming in to a platform with class 801s and Electrostars
