There is a reason why they chose not to recreate any real railroad line 1 to 1. Its because the main piont of the game is creating your own railroad with its own identity and story. It also keeps the games appeal more broad. There is also a reason for only the four maps for on release and that is simply because that is what they have time for. All of them work full time jobs outside of the studio. They had to make tough decisions on what to include and not include. Its very much quality over quantity. Instead of ten meh bland maps you get four carefully crafted and curated maps. As they said they are dense with scenery and stories not just generic trees and rocks. Trust me there are railroads that I would love to see a map influenced by that don't fit any of the biomes of the confirmed maps. But i understand that they don't have infinite time or the resources of a AAA studio to devote to that.
Thank you for your comment. I understand but you got to understand. Do you want to play a game that only has so little maps. I don't know about you but I prefer to have variety where I get to have trouble. I want trouble. I want things that gives me a challenge. Because that makes me feel happy. I understand it's not meant for everyone. But also wouldn't you want to experience the real world 3-ft narrow gauge maps. There's one I really want to play. It's the Durango and Silverton line that one's very beautiful and I would love to play on it. I'm just saying thank you for the comment
Sorry again. A little side note. Another thing about the Durango and Silverton. If it was put into the game and we get to play on it. I would love to haul silver ore from Silverton to Durango to have it smelted you know how fun that would be running flat cars of silver ore. Oh that'd be amazing!
@Demo-xu6bl even with only four maps there will still be plenty of variety and each map I am sure will have decent challenges. Especially with the various difficulty settings that you will be able to adjust. The main two reasons I can think of for not doing a one to one map of a real railroad are one to keep the appeal more broad and two licensing. Dealing with the licensing needed for using real railroads can take a lot of time and resources.
@@Demo-xu6bl They have stated they will be representing all the narrow gauge roads in colorodo and northern new mexico on their san juan map (colorodo), there will be a replica of the durango and silverton and its gonna look amazing, trust me. Mark is from colorodo he's going to make sure it looks and feels just like the real road.
