I hope the transparency continues from now on. It's a shame it took them this long to be honest about it. This also puts more pressure on quality...
Maybe they will at some point, but certainly not at launch. You have way more faith in DTG than I do.
I'm glad they're split up. I still don't believe in the save system. It's never worked consistently for me.
I agree it's better they're not lying this time, but doesn't change the fact that if i want bugfixes for Class 700 or PFR or MML (the most recent...
I think it's a HUGE assumption that any PC-created mods will be available on console at anytime in the forseeable future. That's the entire issue...
Not sure if everyone is understanding this and it's very important IMO: They're promising basically ONE final legacy patch to update TSW3-...
Unless you're on console, right? Even if your best case scenario unfolds, it only benefits 1/3 of the community. I still don't think DTG having...
This is the crux of the argument IMO. The route bundle is a distraction from the fact that there is really VERY little being upgraded from...
Wish i could downvote this x1000 This will be the apologist answer for everything going forward now. "DTG are giving you the tools to do it...
It's a fair price for the route pack, but i fail to see it moving the core of the game forward. Editor massively expands potential* for the PC...
My biggest complaint (other than fracturing the playerbase with the PC editor) is that core gameplay improvements are practically nonexistent:...
Yeah at least they're being honest thie time that prior versions are being dropped like a hot potato
But none of this will ever happen! We'll never see editor content on consoles, mark my words. They'll say they're working on it for a while til...
But they won't. Are you really expecting DTG to go the extra mile for console users? That's not even getting into licensing issues that might...
And now they've stepped right into it... Thanks, console users, for subsidizing our game all these years, now have fun enjoying TSW-lite.
But DTG chooses the route? I mean we have only ourselves to blame i guess assuming they had bigger plans for the Class 700....
Wait....the 700 is AI-only? What are they thinking? Photo mode is cool but overall very disappointing so far....nothing to justify TSW4 IMO.
What route is Flying Scotsman for? Also have we seen any new features yet? What makes it TSW4?
Right? Personally i love it- it'll be 9am my time. I can wake up and get the new TSW4 info without having to actually watch it lol.
True, but then why make that Oakville sub instead of a different CN route where the absence of Via wouldn't be an issue? These are the DTG...
Yup that's what i'm seeing as well. Unless they've managed to keep the showstopper completely under wraps. ECML done full justice (decent length,...
But they do have other licenses- they have MBTA- why not do another Boston route? Doesn't have to be the portion on the NEC. They have the LIRR...
I think you might be right...and i think they have massively misjudged on this one. TSW4: Sleepy Railways Edition Can't get more exciting than...
Exactly- all these weird starting points never get fleshed out further ESPECIALLY in the North American content....don't build a "gateway" to...
It's probably easier to sell to the European market tbh. "Sunny California", "LA", etc. It's the locals who will be most critical. Conversely,...
Man we are really lowering expectations lol
It's always a gateway to somewhere else, eventually, maybe someday with TSW. I don't see how this is a headline route to launch what's presumably...
Sorry but if it's really Antelope Valley that's fairly disappointing. Something something about "deeper buckets" ....but i guess not for the...
Very interesting- looking forward to a new country in TSW. What trains would likely be included?
Well said. I personally don't care about how it happens on the back end- my experience as a player is what's important to me. So if TSW4 brings...
[ATTACH] Indeed- i took this one a couple weeks ago on the Keystone corridor- NS local to the Coatesville PA steel plant Edit: it's CR21201,...
Interesting thought, and i'd be fine with that approach. I still say 4 is more likely BUT it definitely doesn't say 3 fwiw
How is it an assumption? If Conrail was included they would have highlighted it in the article. You're just being argumentative for no reason...
Where's Conrail? Guessing licensing hell, but still very disappointing Why no other updates for HSC? In addition to bugfixes listed above, how...
I voted yes BUT that's only if it brings genuine improvements to the core game.
They released the Class 20 DLC right before TSW2 launched iirc, i don't think it confirms anything.
I'm thinking it's gotta be Horseshoe Curve; probably heritage liveries and a couple scenarios. Meh. I'm not buying anything until they give us...
Hoping there'll be more clues and teasers between now and the 22nd. They could do a teaser for each of the "big 3 countries" each week.
Miami-West Palm Beach is about right Would give Amtrak (diesel?!?), Brightline, and CSX freight Personally didn't like that route at all in TSC
Ok, i'll play: Ny Penn-New Haven is 75 miles per the timetable. Could certainly be another 1.6 miles to be found.
Right?! Jan squashed a F2P rumor immediately, so i'd think if TSW4 is a mirage it would have been treated the same.
I'm happy IF it means significant core improvements. If it's just TSW3.5 (new coat of paint and new routes), i'll be disappointed- put those...
Ok so now that TSW4 (or whatever they're gonna call it) is essentially confirmed, it's time for even more wild speculation: New features? New TOC...
I say yes, because of Matt's recent comment about "deeper experiences". NYC would fit that bill with so many of the trains already in the game,...
Controller force-feedback would be a fantastic option IMO. The fact that ancient TSC has it but not TSW is strange to me.
I'd like to see another NYC route, personally. New Haven line would certainly work for me. Or LIRR 2.0. Or NY Subway. I'd also be interested in...
I find the whole "paid upgrade" argument to be so silly. For me, it boils down to whether you want to continue to buy new TSW content with new...
Because they don't want to talk about TSW4 yet, and there's literally nothing else to talk about
Fwiw Remnant 2 just released in UE5, and that's hardly the "big boys". It is Gen 9 only, though, which TSW4 won't be. Counterpoint being that...
I think their silence does say something though- if DTG has a whole year-plus of TSW3 content in the pipeline, they'd want to make us aware, at...
