Before TSW 2 was released, Sam and Matt talked about how they’re not happy with the way Passengers currently behave, and that they want to recreate the whole passenger system to make it more realistic. My question to all of you is: Is there anything you would want them to change/add to the passengers? What I want: More passengers in stations and on trains (make it more dense), on consoles, not just PC. Have some passengers play with their phones. (Based on when the route is set) Have some passengers hold doors. (Medical) Emergencies Maybe? (Sick Passenger, Disruptive Passenger, etc.) Passengers don’t stay on the trains while in Depots or Sidings The ability to check tickets (on routes that do it IRL) Different body sizes for passengers (Obese, Skinny, etc.) Diversity in clothes (based on when the route is set and weather conditions) More natural/dynamic movements such as running in the rain Some passengers can have umbrellas Some passengers have luggage (they can put it on luggage racks or seats on appropriate trains) Passengers with Backpacks, Cameras, Briefcases, etc Passengers running for the train
Be careful with wishing it to be more dense. On PC some passengers are really suicidal on certain routes (Rapid Transit, Schnellfahrstrecke).
No profit to be made in the time and effort needed for a proper passenger overhaul, don’t ever expect to see that happen in my opinion, so DGT prove me wrong and put it on the roadmap
I really want to actually engage with the passengers. I wanna know where they are going, where they are stopping, how they are feeling so the game doesn't feel dead.
