Oh this is enough to move it significantly for me!! I was very annoyed when I found that you couldn't take any train on any line like in Train Simulator, so I'm very happy that Train Sim World is now allowing you to do it.
I rarely preorder a game but the Bakerloo Line made TSW2 an instant buy for me. I'm enjoying everything so far. My only gripe is there are no station announcements which would add a more in depth submersion to the experience imo. Thanks for the vid.
Agreed! I'd love a bit more ambient sounds on the tube stations, particularly more announcements. I did hear a few here and there when I was playing, but normally on the Underground it's near constant. A 'Mind the gap, please' would be particularly good!
Thanks for pronouncing the German bits almost correctly! 😊 I wish the actual trains were running as smoothly as they appear to do in the game.
Haha! Thank you - I was a bit nervous about that part, but I gave it my best shot xD Oh really?
@@HeyItsAJOmega it's better now with less passengers due to the situation but yeah... Rep is better than reality. But yeah, great job there!
Just imagine you r on holiday in Germany and you GOING to ride the ice train but a tube train comes along
Just before people go thinking this is a game for total dweebs.
I'm a competitive gamer, actual decades of shooter and racing experience in very competition environments, I've done a ton of it. This game is so peaceful and engaging at the same time that I think it's perfect for people trying to de-stress after an intense match or a crap day at work. It's a meditative kind of game in my opinion, much the way flight sims are.
If you're gamer similar to me and want something peaceful but don't want to play a grindy farming game, this is a nice relax alternative. It's surprisingly engaging and you get exactly what's on the box. Some trains, some routes, no grinding. A level system exist but it doesn't do anything as far as I can tell.
Cool game for a relaxed experience, I do recommend.
That's a great way to put it! I'm the same - I play lots of racing games and hardcore sim racing titles, and this is such a lovely zen-like experience for me. ^_^
If they do the Caledonian Sleeper as a route I will love them even more :)
I’m having a problem on TSW2, at Kilburn Pk, Maida Vale and Warwick Avenue when the train goes INTO the platform and the gates at the end of the platforms. And the monitors go into the CAB on the southbound at Harlesden.
Everyone else calls this: An update/patch.
Dovetail: £25 please.
I mean, in fairness, £25 for three new routes (well, 2 I guess given Sand Patch Grade has been there for a long time) and some updates including new features, isn't too bad? If they were selling at like, full price (£44.99 or whatever) I'd say that was really overpriced! But of course, everyone's value proposition is different, so I can't blame folks if they feel £25 for this is too much?
@@HeyItsAJOmega When nothing in the game has changed? You have to pay for this invisible upgrade and then get 2 crappy short routes thrown in with it? And one of them is underground ffs! I will never trust Dovetail games they are so full of BS but the gullable still fall for it. Sad really........
@@HeyItsAJOmega It's a forced buy though in effect or by default if you wish. If they had the intention to provide further upgrades for 2020 (which isn't that old certainly not considering the investment people have made) well fair enough, but no it was cut dead in it's tracks so to say. So yes x2 routes thrown in for what is essentially an upgrade path that is inaccessible for the game it's upgrading. As for DTG having a deep love for trains, you bet they do, they know it's been a pretty 1 horse race. However there does seem to be a new crop of train games releasing that in many way give more playability - Derail Valley is one example, Diesel railcar simulator another. Both offer different things and dont reach the exact modelling standard as TSW but in there own ways have better features. If DTG were genuine they perhaps should of done a upgrade offer at half the price (prepare for responses along the theme of the poor developers starving children, visions of families huddled round a candle for warmth all because those nasty gamers won't pay 24. 99 for a rehash job. ) It is a relaxing game strangely, but buyer beware would be best review score - pays yer money takes yer choice.
@@HeyItsAJOmega what if you want 1 route?
I've got it on console, you hit the nail right on the head
Thank you! How does it run on console?
next will probably by an algorithm using bing or google maps, like the flight sim. All they'd need to do is a half mile or so on either side of the tracks, though obviously in greater close up detail. I'd love to drive a train the whole way across the UK or even the US.
9:11; LOOLLLL; this is the absolute impossible come true, hahaha!
Wait, reminds me of something, that number, that scenario, its like... Airplanes in skyscrapers, or Airplanes trying to land on Skyscaperfloors, not funny anymore..
I have only a casual interest in trains, but I enjoyed your commentary.
Thank you! :)
Off topic but what is that little digital device you have next to your Wimbledon sign?
Great video. Tempted to get this. See you have a UK departure board mini there😎. Have you seen TraintrackR? You’d love the colour version 👍🏻
Thank you! And I do, well spotted :D I haven't actually?
Another Station, Another Mile Don’t look. It’ll cost you🤣
www.traintrackr.co.uk/product/tfl2
I’ve got the Raintrackr, it’s great fun. Looking forward to more of your videos as we tentatively get back to normal.
6:12 did you have the window safety thing on cut out?
The main selling point of this for me is the bakerloo line. The other trains in this version are good but generic. The bakerloo line is very fun and enjoyable. You can even free roam and travel on AI driven trains like a normal commute. I loved that! I really want more tube lines tho!
Awesome! It would be cool to see more tube lines, it's hard though as I know there's so many different routes and trains that folks want in the games, but DTG only have a finite level of resources and time to make them all happen xD But more tube lines would be great!
the frame rate issues are something that unfortunately is a limitation of the game engine. UE4 looks amazing and creates stunning visuals, but the engine was never designed to support the massive task of rendering while hurtling along the track at speed. UE is great for open world projects with mostly foot movement and the occasional car. UE is also known for being particularly resource hungry. personally i don’t have any frame rate issues when playing on max setting but to be fair i do have a pretty powerful pc. i still think unreal is definitely the best engine for the game but it does have its limitations. for example, the issues with motion blur interaction with the wheels, that is because UE4 does not support radial (rotational) motion blur, only linear. there is a way to make fake motion blur for wheels with UE but it’s not very good and is especially difficult because of the fact these wheels aren’t freestanding and have interactions with other objects. i use UE and am quite proficient as part of my work so i did have a go at seeing if i could solve the issues for DTG and send them in for their team to consider but i could not find a way to use fake radial motion blur in a way that wasn’t creating massive performance issues, because unlike a car, there’s way more than four wheels. i also tried to solve the issues with rendering at high speed but i could not make it any better than it currently is. it’s a shame that the engine has these issues but it’s a trade off. unity would look significantly worse and probably have worse performance to boot. i really hope DTG considers upgrading the engine to UE5 when it’s available because from what i’ve seen it may be able to solve a lot of their issues.
That's really interesting, thank you for that information. I'm certain my FPS drops were probably made more of an issue by the fact I was using OBS to record gameplay as well as play - I think without that also using resources it might be a bit less of an issue. Wasn't TSW1 built in Unity, or was that UE4 too?
Another Station, Another Mile TSW1 was UE4 as well.
@@HeyItsAJOmega It was also in UE4. I do not believe for a second that the game engine can't handle the fidelity of the simulation. If that were true, why does the framerate drop in urban and other highly detailed areas? It just sounds like the game is unoptimized.
Nice essay
"the frame rate issues are something that unfortunately is a limitation of the game engine. UE4 looks amazing and creates stunning visuals, but the engine was never designed to support the massive task of rendering while hurtling along the track at speed. "
False, there are many racing games and simulators that deal with "speed and rendering" that manage to do this successfully in Unreal.
" UE is also known for being particularly resource hungry. personally i don’t have any frame rate issues when playing on max setting but to be fair i do have a pretty powerful pc."
The developers don't know how to make use of the engine and have poor resource management. Interesting how many other develops can create massive open worlds far larger than any of the maps on Train Sim World, and not struggle with frame rate issues. Again, the developers don't know what they're doing.
Don't take the faults of the developers and push them off onto Unreal, thanks.
The diesel loco in baker loo line! XD
I love the fact you can even do that in this game xD
I'll buy it (on a sale)! Once their promises have been fulfilled and all TSW1 dlcs are implemented.
Good shout! Three DLC routes are on the way very shortly from what I understand.
wait, many promises with the first game and nothing was delivered, I'm not a buyer
i just want Sand Patch Grade. :P
Same
Me too
It’s mint
@@rjracing12 ???
You can have mine cos I have no idea what I'm doing!
Do you think this game will add stuff like a horns that echos in the distance and sound more pronounced the closer the train gets. That would be a nice addition to a game that shoots for realism. I mean other train sims do it why not this one. Also the addition of steam trains would be a game changer as I would definitely purchase this game if that was the case. I don’t care if it’s an American steamer, European, Australian, Russian, don’t care where, I just care when, as I’m sure that it will not only look very impressive but sound it as well. I personally think that there should be a separate game or dlc or something for steam train lovers like myself since Train Sim World has been very neglectful in that category, but with very good reasoning that I do understand. But that is just me. This was a wonderful analysis video you presented us with nonetheless, great job. 👍🚂
@wardog8u2xbox360 For the first comment, yes I have Railway Empire and I absolutely love that game. My only major gripe with it is why are the car lengths so short? Every other train sim I've seen has way more than just 8 cars on the consist. Why just 8? You look at those articulated locomotives and you think to yourself, ”a 2-6-6-4 or a 2-8-8-4 pulling only a measly 8 cars.” Yeah, right. I don't think so. I wish they would increase the length of the amount of cars you could add to your train than just 8, but I get it. They would have to make some major tweaks to the stations where they pick up the cars. I get it. I can even forgive them for the fact that a Northern Europe locomotive from the DLC sounds no different than an Australian DLC locomotive that sounds no different than, the American locomotives. Just increase the car length on the trains from a measly eight cars. That's what I've been wanting forever since I have got the game but I'll never get, and I don't know why it would be so difficult to make it so. But other than that game is fantastic, I love all the different whistles and chugging sounds, when you have so many trains a busy station, or at a refueling station.
Also, second comment, you are the third person to reference the super suit, which I find funny; you want to know where it is you'll have to talk to Honey for that, she's always putting me on this scavenger hunt but before I'm able to actually save the city.
By the way, I even had an idea that could even solve the train length issue, if you are interested in hearing it.
A lot of people have complained about the price, but considering you get 3 routes and a rewrite of a lot of the game, it's a good price. I would get TSW2 but I have a potato so I can't right now.
Really? The original TSW was £40+ which I thought was a bit steep at the time, but TSW2 is going for £25 or so which I think is really good. And it is available on Xbox One and PS4 if you have either of those platforms!
@@HeyItsAJOmega I think the main complaint was that there was no discount if you had TSW 2020, but I'm not really sure. I don't have a console (apart from the Wii) so I can't get it on that. I'm considering building a PC though, so hopefully I'll be able to get it soon, the future of TSW looks very exciting! It's nice to see some of the oldest routes from TS classic coming for TSW.
Would this be a good starting point for a complete novice to this kind of game?
I actually think so! It's very beginner-friendly, lots of tutorials and tooltips, and streamlined controls. I find it a lot easier to pick up and play TSW than Train Simulator, for example. And with TSW2 getting all the routes from TSW1 over time plus new ones, and hopefully new features and bugfixes along the way, I think now is a decent time to get into it as a newbie :)
I've never played any train sim but I'm looking to make the plunge. Would you recommend this for a newbie, or should I be looking at Train Simulator 2020, would you say? Great review, by the way. Love your videos.
TSW2 is much better. it’s easier to play than ts2020 and it looks significantly better.
@@jaydancurrie5467 Thank you!
Yeah, seconded. TSW2 is easier to jump into and play, more tutorials and streamlined controls, plus the graphics are much improved over TS2020 and there's a decent amount of base content available for it too - especially when more of the Preserved Collection becomes available.
@@HeyItsAJOmega Thank you! TSW2 it is, can't wait. Hopefully I can replicate all those wonderful childhood trips down to the south coast on Intercity 125s!
@@jaydancurrie5467 Ever heard of Run 8 Train Simulator?
I've never had a train simulator. What would I be happier with to jump into this? TS 2021 or Train Sim World 2?
Personally I’d get TSW 2 because of sand patch grade
Personally on the fence about it, as I've already bought the first game and I'm not keen on buying what is essentially a patch for full price plus DLC. It ought to be a free upgrade, or at least substanstially discounted, say five or ten quid, for existing TSW owners in perpetuity, we're not cash cows here..
That aside, TSW2 is essentially more of the same, modern commuter trains, high speed lines, and a little modern freight. Point A to Point B with not much to do in between. Not going to take the plunge until they get some really good steamers in there, and have more to do on the side, dropping off and picking up cars, loading and unloading different cargoes, etc.
Not to the same level of polish, but I really like Derail Valley as it has exactly all of the above, you get a list of industries to serve, a list of what wagons they want moved, shunted, filled, and unloaded, and a set of engines to do it all with. The game basically throws you in the deep end and says "Get to work, laddie. How you do it and how long it takes, I don't care. You break it, you fix it and/or you bought it. There's the locos, there's the wagons, go figure it out, we'll pay you when you get it right."
Hey! I’m from australia! I wish they would add Aussie trains like Melbourne’s Pakenham Line
Hello from London! ^_^ That would be very cool, Australia is a country that I feel like has a really fascinating railway history, but you never seem to hear about it?
Another Station, Another Mile I feel that we have an interesting history but over the last few decades with cars and planes becoming more prominent trains have become unfavourable due to the size of the nation
Claire Hale commuter trains are quite good here though within the major cities such as Melbourne and Sydney
Not Pakenham line, simulate the Ghan, and the full line from Adelaide to Darwin.
@@Flogge11 that would be way to long
Where did you get the wimbledon from as that's interesting
Oh, the roundel? It was a birthday present! And it came with a bunch of different station names you can slide into that slot, I chose Wimbledon because my football team are AFC Wimbledon :)
@@HeyItsAJOmega you've earned a sub simply for being a dons fan 💛💙
Why am I the only person on the train? I would think that aft er all this time, the production team STILL can't have other passengers both in the carriages/coaches and on the platform!
BIG INFO, IT IS GOING TO BE FREE ON EPIC GAMES NEXT WEEK
No side mirrors to check doors? Yes they should have added the announcements mind the gap etc. Also add more people on platforms
Why are dlc so expensive? At keast combine some in packs like uk routes dlc etc
Can you only drive on the Bakerloo line or every tfl line?
Do you know how big the London Underground actually is?
@@B-A-L It's mahoooooosive yes I know but when I was getting lost in the sauce of fantasy about owning the game it was moreso to explore my own city through being a Tube driver. You can understand that right?
Great summary, I slummed it to buy it at midnight, although I was not able to play it until 8:15 AM in the morning, due to technical issues with my Xbox. When it did eventually work, I was impressed! In my opinion though I think that the game was slightly overhyped overall, I’d call it a big update, not a new game.
Yeah, that's very fair. It's a new pack of routes with a few new features and updates here and there. More a TSW2021 rather than a full TSW 2.0, if that makes sense?
"Abellio German Anglia"? Lol XD (Shown in the Editor section.)
Yeah, I started out trying to make an Abellio GA paintscheme (hence the pun) but then it changed to GWR, or German Western Railway xD
@@HeyItsAJOmega...You mean Great Western Railway right? GWR operates in the UK..
Why can't they show the start up procedure all the time and not just in training? How am I expected to remember the start procedure of ten different trains every time? My solution is to let the sim do the driving and me just sit back and enjoy the view! Good job I only paid £11 for this and the routes from TSW 2020 because I can put the money I saved towards importing the latest Densha De Go title if I want the enjoyment of driving trains without the need to spend half an hour trying to start the bloody things!
I'm running train sim 2 on a Xbox one x. Started off with 2020 and decided to give it a shot. I'm impressed and disappointed to a degree at the same time. One of my routes won't be included for some time. I like western mountain railroading like as in British Columbia. Very challenging to say the least. Spent a few hours today running the ICE train. Very nice. Just as I remember it, back in 1997. More route please!
Who knows how to put a train on a line that it wasn't meant for use on in this game?
It’s like a real thing but more detailed, realistic and fun to play around with any kind of trains. The graphics is very good and much more colourful. Nice. Will it also trams or will DLCs comes out for Train Sim World 2.
Also will you be going on the trains again when the lockdown restrictions have been lifted. Including seeing new trains coming into service this year ie SWR Class 701 and Greater Anglia Class 720.

That's the plan! ^_^
Another Station, Another Mile Yah 😊
Once bitten by TSW2020, never again... unfilled promises,,,
Still no editor in this game though. Which means, no 3rd party content. And by the small editing we can do, there is no support of sharing. All this look more like DTG are enforcing their buisines rules to earn as much money as possible. Even PMDG said that about DTG, so this is not just me talking.
I can't think of any good things they have done for the train simulator genre excpet for the graphics in TSW. It looks good, and sometimes it looks as real life.
Um, whats on the shelf behind you?
There's quite a lot of things on the shelves behind me, you might have to be more specific xD

More empty promises from the devs. This game looks no different than Train Sim World.
A complete rip off in my books.......
@@e575fho You are correct. Do you know how long people who bought Train Sim World waited for content creation, for the developers to literally put it in another game with a price tag?
Anyone who invests in Train Sim World 2, which is an expensive update patch, is a complete fool. It's amazing how people go great lengths to defend such a scummy developer.
And for those of you reading this, good luck on those multiplayer promises. That's why most people bought Train Sim World, which is now promised in a new game that you have to drop money on, and is once again "coming soon". 😆
Enjoy your long list of unfixed bugs, more boring worlds to drive through, a choppy experience, and a whole lot of empty promises that will supposed to be coming to Train Sim World 2, only to pitch it in Train Sim World 3 once they're developed with an excuse of "why they had to do this as a result of limitations".
@@francocortez3506 Well said Franco, I cannot believe people still defend Dovetail even after all this?! ' More money than sense that's for sure......................
@@francocortez3506 I will enjoy it especially the isle of wight and southeastern high speed,class 313,465 oh and did I mention you get a game for the absolutely horrid prices of routes(not sarcasm) in tsw god I hated those prices overpriced and shitty
@@francocortez3506 I find your reply extremely condesending towards the people who have bought the game, including me. You have blatantly said that anyone who has bought the game is a complete idiot. You literally are given 3 DLCs for the price of 1 which in the eyes of Dovetail is a complete bargain and if you say otherwise then you would have to be a "fool."
Granted, Dovetail have been an extremely shady company in my eyes. However, at least now they are being a lot more transparent about what they are doing with the new introduction of the frequently updated roadmap.
Your comment about multiplayer is "why most people bought Train Sim World" is absoutely false. People mainly bought Train Sim World 1 to drive trains in an updated engine and with better graphics then the extremely outdated TS Classic. I didn't buy TSW for multiplayer at all and if it was added it would just be a little bonus for me. Why on Earth would anyone buy a game for a feature that hadn't been implemented yet.
The unfixed bugs are the only part that I agree with because to be honest, they should be fixing bugs before moving on to the next thing but looking at the roadmap it appears they are going back to some routes to fix bugs and glitches with the routes. The worlds are much more exciting to drive through then TS Classic due to the upgraded graphics improving realism along with the ability to interact with many elements within the cab of a train. The experience is far from "choppy". It is way less choppy then TS Classic is in any sense and if you are finding it choppy then my friend... It's time to invest in a new computer.
I am not trying to defend Dovetail because the mistakes they have made in the past are absolutely horrendous. They have made false promises in the past and I hope that TSW 2 is a new light for Dovetail. But I just can't gloss over how many mistakes are in this reply to the point where you are almost defaming Dovetail for making a game that is unplayable when the game is far from it. I played 162 hours in TSW and never found a single gamebreaking bug in the game.
Everyone is entitled to your opinion but calling everyone that has the opinion to support Dovetail a "fool" for doing so is not appropriate in any situation.
ive come here from epic games, this game will be free within few days
I see the same things I have in TSW 2020. The only difference with this version is they want you to pay for the game and add-ons again.
I'm not going to fall into the trap once again.
I made the mistake of buying both TSW 2020 and TSW 2 at the same time because I didn't realise TSW 2 had the same routes as TSW 2020 available to download for free until it was too late. Luckily I only paid £10 for TSW 2020 and £11 for TSW 2 because they were on offer on my PS4. Saved me forking out at least £50 for them both but could have spent the tenner I wasted on TSW 2020 on an extra route or something!
And it crashes on the ps4
Can I ride as a passenger?
You can! There's a free-roam 'on foot' ability in the game.
Can you play roblox stepford county railways? please
Not really into Roblox at all, sorry!
I justed wanted to create my own stops, like going to London penge ect.. Very restricting.
Couldn't finish the AC4400 tutorial on CSX Sand Patch.....when 'View engineer screen' comes up, you can't on PS4, they should have included the controls of TSW 2020...... don't like the new immersion controls....all the camera angles are gone..... bullshit
I believe there is an option to revert to classic controls?
@@HeyItsAJOmega found it ......but the tutorial will only do immersion mode...... so I'm stuck
Sand patch grade was litterally in the first one and you could do all the same stuff dove tail ahs really dropped the ball shame on them

@@HeyItsAJOmega Through steam, less than 2 hours play refund is easy. Game is a buggy mess. We shouldn't be doing the Beta testing as a paid game. Should have known better.
@@lukemalone7088 You know, that's fair. As I said in the review, I did encounter some bugs and performance issues in my playtime with it - they weren't dealbreakers for me and I'm sure they will be fixed, but I don't blame you at all if they were for you.
I did the same thing and got refunded, needs a lot more work doing
