RSC special announcement at Gamescom?

[UP3985]

**!!bang!!** Man they cant get nothing right

I think it's just a photoshopped glare, honestly, in TS2012, has night ever darkened the sky that much?

Seems like they aren't giving up on that picture. I wonder if this is the unveiling for Sherman, but that's only because they just keep laying on with that picture. The way Cheyenne was looking in their latest screenshots made it look close, and if this is their business, progress should have progressed alot in a few days, so I could see it being ready, but I m skeptical. This isn't like RSC to just drop it on Steam out of the blue without a release date and tantalizing wait, but whatever this announcement is, I think it's Sherman Hill related.

Someone at another forum enlarged a screenshot from one of RSC's YouTube videos. It's still blurred, but the logo in the top-right looks a LOT like "Train Simulator 2013" when it's enlarged.

Yep, it was to announce RW4.

Well, I was wrong about multiplayer, but do I get partial credit for Relay Play?
Seriously though, TS2013 sounds like a great package. I'm particularly interested to see the new HUD and of course SH.

I highly disagree. Why would they make such a big deal of a US route to their entire market at an event in Germany. None of that makes sense

so it was (indirectly) the announcement for the release date of Sherman Hill!

That was my understanding from reading the announcement too.

Thats not the way I read it. Sherman Hill will be available as part of the full package, but will be available seperately also. Now as I already own London - Brighton, and have no interest in the German Route or the ICE, and am ready to plunk my cash down right now for Sherman Hill, it dosen't make economic sense to make me wait. I'm willing to pay the full price, and I'm beting I'm not alone. Is the German route currently available to purchase?

So dose this mean SH won't be out until October now?

[hertsbob]

No.

September 20th, or around that date is what I understood!
