I agree this should've been an update for TSW3 with the new features. It uses the same engine, so there's absolutely no reason why the previous game couldn't be updated. And the three new routes could be sold for TSW3 as a bundle. Now players have to buy a new game, and *yet again* do all the old achievements, services, etc. on old routes. TSW should be ONE unified platform now, with only updates and new content, not a separate release almost every year.
Yep i totally agree
This I agree and puts me off buying. It's the same engine and effectively the same game. If I want to get it I have to re download my entire library... Again
If I want new dlc down the line I have to buy it
Even if Im not interested in the new routes but want to carry on with new dlc next year... I have to buy it.
Really bad move and quite honestly how they deal with dlc and profiles is so bad.
Should be one unified platform
@@magicaces13hopefully this game just totally fails so they’ll realize something.
totally loving it. Routes are worth it and have no issue with the price being charged for it or the reasons for it
The developers just think the fans of this game are idiots who are obliged to buy the same game every year lol. I really love trains, I love it. I want to work in this field. But I don't want to buy the same game
I'm looking forward to Train Sim World 5 in a couple of months from now, featuring one new train and no other changes :P
Get a copy of derail valley it's frigging awesome and has some best simulation espically for steam trains, ooh you don't need need to spend extra money to get steam train in game, it's all inclusive, the map is fantastic and designed to be a challenge, it's a sandbox game with free roam career mode, plus disasters are a thing in Derail valley, i manage to see a whole oil yard on fire after slam dunking some oil cars to hard lol.
@@captainjonna1034 Great game , but it just lacks new locos and map expansions ... for now, though. If they add some more diversity, it's gonna be much better.
I'm looking forward to Century of Steam
@@wheelking79 yeah i can't wait, studio 343 is doing some jaw dropping stuff and i totally agree.
Train Sim World 8: Added new livery
Train Sim World 9: Yes
@@wheelking79 When did you play it last? They just had a massive update a couple months ago!
It’s mind-boggling that it took Dovetail four entire games to incorporate such basic features as photo mode and free roam.
It's the business model. Drip feed new features to make you upgrade every year.
@@random6809 Good for business, bad for us! But who am I kidding I'm gonna buy it anyways lol.
It's disgusting. All of these updates could have been enrolled into TSW 1, and I would still argue that it's unfinished. All game developers work for money, but Dovetail really lowers the bar. And the sad thing is, they can do it, as there is no proper competition.
it wouldve been acceptable if graphics were top notch ALONG WITH great optimization. Let's just say DTG isnt even an average game dev
Just don't by their shit anymore, once simrail will be released it'll be over for train scam world, as soon as i see games with thousands of euros of dlcs I pass cause I already know that 99% of the time they are filthy cashgrabbers.
I live in the LA area and have ridden the Antelope Valley and other Metrolink lines quite a bit. To be fair to the development team, that's really what the hills around LA look like. Bland and brown mostly. In the spring they'll get covered in grass from rains, but most of the year it's really nothing to write home about. So in that respect, the dev team did a good job recreating what it actually looks like. They nailed the sounds for the F125.
Haha nice
I just commented about how the mountains in the L.A. area look just like they do in TSW, then I saw your post. LOL.
nicee
I'm a UP conductor, I've commandeered trains over the Valley and Mojave sub. It's scary accurate to what I've seen while working that pool.
@JosueRodriguez-kk6wn i have heard this term before. Why is it called a “pool” what doesnt that mean
I've been playing since TSW2, honestly each new itteration feels like a copy-paste of the previous game with minor improvments. I guess it might be worth it for the new routes tho, with that loyaty pre-order discount I might consider getting it since I've bee hoping for both an LNER and an OBB line for a while now so this seems somewhat exciting.
Yea may be worth it for you then
Two things that still seem to be apparent in this video are stuttering/micro-pauses and scenery pop-in/noticeable LOD changes. So, no improvement over TSW3 in that respect.
I purposefully left those in the video. You are right, no fixes there sadly
It's interesting that this problem has existed in all Dovetail train simulator games for as long as I can remember.
I don't play them anymore.
Does it help to load the game from SSD?
@@Brotherdot In my (outdated) experience, no it didn't help much. This was in what is now called "Train Simulator Classic". Every new iteration, I had hopes that they would improve the regular stutter upon scenery loading, but they never did.
I know some people can overlook it, but once you start getting annoyed with it, it becomes a dealbreaker. At least it was for me.
I really like driving the fast trains, like ICE or whatever, and it looks so crappy when the framerate stutters every ten seconds or something like that as you can see scenery being loaded on screen.
I absolutely agree. The stuttering is quite annoying in fast trains. Completely breaks immersion.
I was waiting for this Blu, I knew you couldn't resist.
Hope its helpful
I live in Peterborough and that route is where The Flying Scotsman set the official record for reaching 100mph in 1934. :)
I hate the developers for making almost the same thing similar to how EA does it
For me as a newbie (last sim played was 2020) this is an absolute GO for it. Love just stressing off and drive passenger's from station to station. Very nice video very well done, thank you.
I agree as well. After TSW and TSW2 and TSW3, there's nothing to see in TSW4. Honestly, I can't tell the differences between TSW and TSW4. For me, it's a pure scam. So please people, do not support them any more, as soon TSW5 will arrive and so on.
I agree with you regarding the update/new game situation, but DTG have been clever with the pricing, offering a reduction for pre-order plus a 'loyalty bonus' if you already own TSW3.
Yea makes it hard to pass up
It's quite disappointing that since TSW2, Dovetail still hasn't managed (bothered?) to have a full-fidelity steam engine simulation. I.e. water and injector management, coal-firing and the like. The base offering for steam looks good on the surface as is 'playable' (and dare I say appeals to the majority out there), but the lack of deep steam simulation is rather obvious now, being that we're into the 4th offering of this franchise...
Stilll those dreaded shadows on the tracks just 10 meter infront of the cab... you'd think they'd improve over time, but nah...
Yea i wish!
Great review Blu! You tell it what it is always. I always use caution on spending money on Dovetail now.. Sigh..
Bought the game on Steam when it was on sale, and isn't watching this review until now hahah😂
And as I have nothing else then Trainz Railway Simulator 2006 to compere the game with, I'm pretty happy👍
Would like to have more steam engines tho.
(Peak Forest is the only DLC I have for the game.)
So what do u think?
@@BluGames I really likes the physics in the game, the trains reactions to my input feels realistic. And the sounds get 8.5 of 10👍
But I agree that they should only release new DLC's instead of creating TSW 5, 6 and 7 and so on.
I mean, they surely earns a majority of their profits via DLC-sales.
I own TSW2 with several routes added. I never got around to updating to #3 and now they are working on number 4. That seems a bit crazy, to be honest. I may jump up to the fourth installment, but currently I am mostly interested in trying the steam train DLC from TSW3.
Im also still on 2
Thank you for a helpful and informative review. I`ve never played a TSW game, but am tempted now.
If you have never played. I think you will enjoy it
@@BluGames Cheers.
I really enjoy your reviews. Don't change!
Bludenz, I have been more than once in the past, made hikes in the Ratikon mountains southwest of Bludenz, spent the nights in the Douglass hütte (I remember the nice huge Saint Bernard dog there in the early 1970's) Lindauer hütte and the Heinrich-Hueter-Hütte. The latter is located on the southern slope (the other side) of the mountain range which you can see at 2:17 above the station. The large amount of snow on that mountain range, named the Vandanser Steinwand (Stonewall) looks nice but I have never seen (much) snow there, even not 50 years ago when the was more snow above the eternal snow line in the Alps during summer than there is today.
I have been playing since TSW came out many many moons ago and I love the game, I've been playing train Sims since i got Microsoft Train simulator back in 2001 and love what they have done with TSW but I'm saddened to see such a great game like this have so much potential and the powers that be not take advantage of it. But still I love this game and still hold out hope that we will get more and more updates and expansions to make it the game we all want it to be
I really enjoyed Microsoft Train Simulator. I wish Dovetail had a larger world to explore. Miss the mountains.
I guess it depends on how you look at it. The cost of the three new routes combined would (and will) individually exceed the cost of a TSW4 upgrade, so when you add on the graphical updates (which aren't gigantic but are definitely noticeable) it's worth it if you care about the route bundle. If not, no biggie, TSW3 is still there for you.
But they could just have updated TSW3 instead of realeasing it as a whole game. It's all it is, an update to TSW3 that costs money..
While I agree with you on the price and the content you get, the main issue is that no new DLC will come to TSW3 anymore, meaning you essentially HAVE to buy this game to get new content
@@YellowLight259 wow thats even worse! wtfff
This is true
Yep its basically a paid update you are right
I'm only guessing here but the added feature that required a new build is the haptic feedback (something I suggested I may add). When I reached out to DTG suggesting the addition of haptic/force feedback, the devs responded that it would require more than a patch/update. Everything you've mentioned would be possible with an update and bundle. I thinks it's the haptics...which have me sold. Lol.
Wow really
i gotta agree with you on the prefering waiting longer on initial loading than to have all those frame drops every so often, that kinda thing might've put me off buying but the new routes and the vectron make it kinda worth it
I didnt talk much about the vectron but its a pretty sweet train
I cannot belive they have not fixed the stutter that happens every minute or so. Especially noticeable on high speed routes.
@@magicaces13 stutters are a part of unreal engine. They can only reduce it but not remove it completely. For now, each subsequent run should have less stutters than the first time as shaders load. Dtg are working on a long term solution resulting in longer loading screens to prebuild shaders but it's gonna be some time
@@potatoman451 it's not the engine. Many games use unreal and don't have this issue. It's the design of the game that's the issue. Hopefully they find a solution and eventually implement it.
You will never get this without having specs shooting trough the roof. You would need much more RAM to load it all to somewhere and it is just not practical or realistic. The problem more comes form how the game is coded. Specifically how it loads the enviroment.
To give an example look at Minecraft. You have loaded actually only very small part of the world and then you are loading and unloading chunks as you need them. It is same for every game. It just depends on coding how well you can hide the fact that it is happening.
As a fan of rail simulators since the release of MSTS I think Dovetail's business model is somewhat worse than EA. It sucks because they have the potential to produce a great product but chose greed and un-optimization instead.
Thank you for this beautiful review!
Extremely informative. This is why i have invested heavily in JR's train simulation. it always seem like TSW does much of the same, from version to version. Thanks..
Thanks for watching
Hi! I have a question. Can you create your own train consists in the scenario planner? I've seen a lot of videos with the vectron used for passenger services in timetable mode even though it is normally used for freight trains only.
I wonder if they will release a core version without the routes. With free roam mode I'd like to see if I could spawn a train on the Union Pacific line on the Cajon Pass route. I do like the photo mode as well. Those are the only features I am interested in with TSW4 but just cannot justify paying all the money for those features. As mentioned, they should have just been updated in TSW3
Hmm goos point. Would be nice to be able to upgrade without paying for the 3 routes.
That's the Palmdale-Colton cutoff, I worked that pool board between Bakersfield and West Colton.
Train Simulator is the first PC game I played. I had the first release of train Sim world. 😮then I moved on to Farmington Simulator
Great review!! I wonder if they will add all the metrolink/Surfliner routes from union station
I hope so
Great review! Thanks
I wish they would have a Snowpiercer DLC. Imagine...travelling endlessly on a white dessert, stuck on a constant speed so that the cold wouldn't freeze your engine. The thrill of that ride!
Question: I own Train Sim Classic, and am frustrated by the fixed views. Does this - or any train sim - have a mode where you can free look from within the cab?
That's why they will never change, it's not good, but we accept it, no problem.
People keep buying it.. i admit i do too, no matter how much i complain
There are also freight train trips on the Antelope line.
Which loco is used?
If you have cajon pass & Sherman hill you can use BNSF or Union Pacific@@jwrailve3615
Yeah what locomotive is used? Also is it UP?
Holy shit, those sounds!! So clean, so nice!
Thank you for this review!
Very welcome
HI, thanks for the video; I liked your video and subscribed to your channel. I’m a long time flight simmer but I’m new to train simulators and looking to get my first train simulator. Would Train Sim World 4 or 3 be a good place to start? I got you mentioned in the video that Train Sim World 4 is a perfect introduction for new players so that answers part of my question but right now Train Sim World 3 is on sale for $15 on Steam and I was wondering whether I should get it or get Train Sim World 4 for twice the cost instead, or something else altogether.
Or do you recommend some other train simulator for beginners?
I would appreciate your replies.
You need the thrust master and trackir to get the most out of this. Man those keybinds are hard to learn...
Great review!
I always get stuck somehow, doing blockbuster and 2nd part I leave the station and it just stops. The throttle goes to 0 with red around it and small arrow painting down. Didn't use breaks at all, no idea how to get moving again
Hi
Do you know if this was a totally bugged on PS5? I have been playing this for over a week and completed the training, then when I try to drive any routes the train won’t move. Then the cab/cockpit is in a blackout with no way to turn on the lights. Can you offer any help?
The main thing is did dovetail games put effort in for the sounds like horns train freight cars and locomotives or will we have to have mods as usual? That’s what I wanna know lol
it is a great, i started 2 weeks ago with the special edition of TSW 4 (i know it is pricy), i'm still learning for the next year, it is really challenging, sometimes extremely difficult to find where the certain buttons are even with player assist
Have you ever seen the railway line between Italy and France from Ventimilia, the mountains, the sea and the picturesque villages that meet on both the Italian and French sides? why does DVG neglect Italy which has fantastic views?
Yessss that would be such a good route!
License issue
The sound of a diesel will always outdo even the finest IGBTs. 😊
Would love 4 you to do a video of Run 8 V3 and show people the beauty of it!
I am working on it
What I really dislike about TSW is the trend for new title every year or so.
I lack the confidence to invest in a specific TSW because there's no future in it.
Next year there will be TSW 5 and then, this one will also be lost. We will loose these routes and the trains we have it will basucally become obsolete. Of course it still works, but are we going to run it if we already have the next TSW?
I believe the best approach for the end user, will be to stick with one and keep updating it with new trains, new scenarios, new improved engine, etc. Maybe I can even accept a yearly pass or upgrade fee or something. But keeping every route and train we already had.
Will buy when it get many Norwegian routes across the whole nation
TSW5 will release around Thanksgiving so ill wait this one out
I am going to update so I can get the newest micro stutters possible
Can't wait for SimRail to get some new routes so D*vetail has some competition
I heard they have some good stuff coming
Dtg is stronger when it comes to a singleplayer experience.
Simrail is stronger for a multiplayer experience. I have zero interest in mp
@@potatoman451 That is true, although i think it's just a matter of time. Simrail has the whole multiplayer infrastructure working already, the only thing they have left to do for singleplayer is create missions and timetables, which they are working on. Imo Simrail has already exceeded TSW in most aspects in its very short lifespan. Definitely excited for whats coming
I’m going to make a West Midlands Railway livery for the 5 car version of the Class 801 so I can use it too replace the Class 323s on the Birmingham Cross City Line. Might use it on the Manchester to Hadfield line.
Thats sounds cool!
Since owning tsw , tsw2 , tsw3 ive learnt they should be all in one game just updates or dlc
Not TSW or TSW2. TSW3 looks more similar to TSW4. When you compare TSW3 and TSW4 routes.
I have no idea of trains but I like them. Thought I'd give it a chance and now that it's on sale with a few DLCs for 20€, I thought I'd buy it. Thanks for the help :P
I've just done the same
I hope yall like it
I have tsw4 on ps5 and tsw 2020 on PC. In the older version the enviroment fe. grounds texture (even next to the train) is far better then in 4 on ps5. My PC is relatively old.
Great review. Very fair.
I think the eurostar should be added as a dlc sometime
I agree
Have you ever been in the L.A. area of California? During the summer those mountains look just as bland in real life as they do in TSW. Personally, I'm a Pacific Northwest fan. We have awesome mountains up here. =D
I do have to give the developers a lot of credit for the hard work they put into making these. Sure, we can complain about the textures and all that and it not looking any different than the previous versions, and every single update is a paid DLC. But still, we have it to enjoy. There are a lot of POSITIVES to it as well. For one, the scenery looks like the real place.
I think it would be awesome to have a Trans Siberian line.
If you don’t mind me asking… How’d you get the name Blu? Just curious.
Smirfs
Do you know if we’re gonna have to re pay for any of the DLC’s tsw3 too TSW4?
No u dont have to rebuy anything as long as u are on the same platform.
Looking to get into train sims. Physics and simulation authenticity are important to me. Should I start here with TSW4 or look for something else?
Definitely somewhere else.
Im curious about this Franchise, Does the TSW series has something like a career mode? like the truck/bus simulators has, creating your own company and progress form there?
No but it has lv progression and loads of medals 🥇 to earn and collectibles to find. There is a game called Train Life though that’s like what you’re describing but that’s more of a Simcade game though but it’s basically ETS2 for trains similar format.
I've not played this series. I play Derail Valley. This seems to have better graphics but in a way less to do? What's your guys' opinions of those two games?
What happened to the speedometer hud in external view? Is the only way to know your current speed is to be in the cab?
It's a new minihud. You have to read the gauges. You can still select the old hud
I'll wait a few months and when there's another humble bundle, I might buy it for a couple of bucks.
I'll most likely move on to SimRail though and DTG can do DTG things, I don't care anymore.
So I can add mta subway metro north and lirr to train Sim world 4?
What’s the best game option for realistic physics and train systems?
You can’t fix the scenery loading speeds because that’s how Unreal Engine and how most GPU’s load things. I recommend riding a service with your camera outside to load the route in the cache.
On my behalf I’m continue to play TSW 3, ever since they added Boston line and Amtrak Acela from New York to Boston along with New Jersey Transit other New York commuter services. it’s still unique and other more routes that’s my opinion.
There is no new york to Boston in tsw. Only Boston Providence or new york trenton
@@potatoman451 correction I had backwards and thanks
I’d like to see them to the NEC with Amtrak in its entirety if it’s possible.. I’d be happy to see New York to Boston (yes I know it has NYP-TRE and BOS-PVD)
What should I get if all I want is a cheap game with multiplayer and graphics my pc can handle?
My son will really appreciate the free roam features. But he enjoys TSW3 as it is. Also, feels like I've only recently got TSW3. I'll wait for a sale. If the east coast mainline was from kings Cross it would have been an instant buy.
I've always wanted to give TSW a shot, but the DLC is just so absurdly expensive I'm scared I'd get really into it and just waste money
I have v2....I might consider it. But the one thing I want most out of these sims is to use my Honeycomb Bravo as a raildriver! Damn shame all I can use is my keyboard.
Great content!!!!
Thank you my friend
I bought this, the only reason is because it was in sale, and I wanted the dlc!
Ppl I just bought the deluxe edition do I have to complete all of the training in order to actually play the game itself
I'm surprised no real weather mod for this yet? It does look really good though!
I've never played any of the Train Sim World games. Is there any kind of a learning curve on this, or with trial and error can an average person figure it out?
I wish you could customize the interior of the trains example if u want a class 801 gwr u could have it in the gwr gree n livery instead of red for LNER
My game has been glitching I dinsyalled the route on ps5 but it doesn’t give me the route
I just ordered this for the PC, I take it you use the mouse on things or can you use a flight sim joystick?
I found the forum for this sim so got an answer there.
No sadly u cant
does it have bergen to oslo route?
How do you do a full review before all features are released? I'm curious about your testing methods. Do you have a time machine?
If you bought deluxe or special edition, early access began yesterday
I have been playing the deluxe edition for a full week before early acceas began. So i put my time in lol
@@potatoman451 but you dont get editor, scenario planner etc. which obv. will be the biggest features of this fame because they enable modding
man im happy about this!
I think it would be fun if there was a multiplayer mode. I'd say it'd be quite cool if you could drive a train, and a friend would be a passenger. Who's enjoying the landscapes your driving through fly by.
Yes it would be great
The OBB isn't German. It's from Austria. Voralberg is also in Austria nearby Switzerland.
Can’t believe they did the ECML and ignored the pretty section on the actual coast, and the complex run-in to Kings Cross.
harika olmuş türkiye Rail similatör süper
Why there is no high speed train from China? Like CR400AF
Ask dovetail games…
i would realy love to see routes from my country the Netherlands like the virm 4 and SLT en SGM trains and the icm train
Me too
Can i actually build my own car layout yet? Don't get me wrong: i loved TSW 2 and i liked TSW 3, but I saw no difference between the two and I see no new things from TSW 3 to 4. They seem to be pumping out these games rather than updating the existing one. I felt like I didn't get anything from upgrading from TSW 2 to 3, So I'm going to skip a few releases before buying another. Otherwise It may be a great upgrade from 1 to 4 or from 2 to 4.
I haven't seen anything that I paid LA or the east mainline it won't let me quickplay smh
I find it mad how these simulators are solely built on DLCs. U get the bone but have to buy the meat on top. But that's probably never gonna change.
Hört einfach auf jedes Jahr den selben Müll zu Kaufen, ist ja fast schon wie bei FIFA und EA. Solange die damit jedes Jahr Profit machen wird sich nichts ändern.
Hi, does tsw4 have temporary block working, emergency specal working? Thank you
No it doesnt
@@BluGames wonder if train sim classic has this? Am currently training as a driver
This should have been an update for TSW3 but I do enjoy the small minor features
That draw issue of the rail line still not fixed, just can’t see why this was a major release except to milk people for trains that have to be upgraded or something.
