but will we ever get multiplayer?

[greynolds17]

pls add multiplayer soon, thats one of the few reasons i bought this game

[Inkar]

Sorry to give you bad news, but I think it is not coming anytime soon.

Think alike. First, they probably make the editors activity and route then Multiplayer.
But it will probably take a year

[0235]

I believe there is DLC 3 (rumoured to be Germany), then editor, then multiplayer, but i don't think DLC3 is till early 2018, editor late 2018, and multiplayer until 2019

i don't get why multiplayer was there big feature on TSW reveal yet it seems like a lie just so people buy it

[Axe]

So just because it isn't in the game yet it's a lie... Yeah OK.

What may 'seem' like a lie doesn't make it one

So why make it a main feature if they knew it wasnt even ready or by the looks of it even started cos you know everyone wanted a mp train sim but whats the point if its true about it coming out in a few years cos a better mp sim could be out by then

[Axe]

Because perhaps it is going to be a main feature. They didn't say when did they? No, they didn't.
If a 'better mp sim' were to come out well so what? Nobody has a crystal ball.

Good job prehistoric man ventured out of his cave because if he hadn't we'd all still be living in one.


By the way.

I didn't want MP and neither did many who were asked on the TS forums months before TSW release.
Many did and they are going to get it... no skin off my nose. Apart from it will be horribly broken and there will be endless complaints which get in the way of the rest of the game being developed. Endless promises, endless patches and more endless moaning and griping and tedious threats from little kids...

i think i touched a nerve

[Axe]

What? I was answering you. Why on earth have you concluded that?

What nerve have you supposed to have touched?

[Axe]

Well, did they give a date of MP release or not, since you have decided to side step my post in favour of posting some silly nonsense?

It wasn't a big feature reveal, we said we'd be bringing multiplayer to TSW and that is still the case.

We are open about the fact that TSW doesn't have multiplayer and have been since its release.

We have also have stated on multiple occasions that currently we are purely working towards bringing it to the game as soon as we feasibly can.

There are already trainsims on the market with Multiplayer - Trainz for one and Run8 for another. Both offer stark differences in the multiplayer experience. What are the pros and cons of those?

I would like to see ServiceMode become multiplayer in TSW. Much the same as that mod which adds multiplayer to EuroTruckSim.

DTG (Then RSDL) said in 2009 they were in it for the long haul and many claimed RailWorks wouldn't last 9 months, but they're still here 8 years later. I don't think many envisaged the various new game modes, new lighting, superelevation and much much more that was added to RailWorks over the years, so apply that thinking to TSW. Who knows what DTG will do over the years, but at least we know they want Multiplayer already :)

Guys im sure there will be no multiplayer. Look at Train Simulator, in december 2010 they release youtube movie with multiplayer for Train Simulator (RailWorks 2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBF0pnookwk (movie is not there anymore) and it was never released. Later they were talking about MP for RailWorks 3, they even have some vote on facebook: https://www.facebook.com/questions/10150548022853091/?qa_ref=qd . After that they came with that stupid Relay play which they remove with the new version so we can try it for one year (i never did)

Year ago: Multiplayer is still heavily in development and will therefore not feature in the Train Sim World: CSX Heavy Haul Beta. However, we are planning for multiplayer to become a key feature of the Train Sim World experience and we’ll have more details on this in the coming weeks. More details on this in the coming weeks... 40 weeks gone and no news about it. We can here the same stuff again and again.

So if you are looking for multiplayer Train Simulator than you should chose Run8, Trainz, OpenRails, BVE 5

[Axe]

Personaly as I have said many times - it depends on the time-scale we all as individuals use.

I think it will be still in the planning stage but won't happen soon as there is just enough to do beforehand.

But to my mind using the past to predict the future whilst a decent methology I don't think it is relevant here due to customer desires and the significan't software change etc.
