I believe that Generation 8 is impeding the game’s progress. For now, I intend to stay in TSW6 as Generation 9 is better suited to handle the game. Personally, I prefer longer routes in the game, which lead to longer gameplay sessions. Furthermore, I favor end-to-end routes over partial routes. My resolutions from DGT are to remove Generation 8 from TSW and make Generation 9 and PC-only. Currently, Generation 8 is hindering the game’s development. Therefore, my vision for 2025 is to see PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Steam, and Epic Games as the primary gaming platforms. Additionally, I would like to see UE5 implemented.
First off, this post could do with better formatting. You'd be better off giving each of these suggestions their own detailed threads also with reasons more than you travel on them (that will not at all sell any suggestion) These are all unrealistic. Longer routes aren't necessarily better. UE5 won't solve anything. It's more trouble than it's worth.
I love the idea of these London Underground routes in particular and like the idea of the SWR from London to Southampton. Maybe London to Portsmouth or to Guildford would be more realistic but great suggestions
