Old ETS 2 Threads

[OverTake.gg]

SCS Software has released quite some videos of their upcoming Euro Truck Simulator 2 project the last couple of months and today they added one with a few glimpses of nature in the game.

Truck simulations are not often covered by sim racing blogs and websites but this game might change that. No its not about racing but true simulation fans will love it for the real driving experience, the game environment, the fine details of the models and the ambient traffic that gives you the impression of you being a real lorry driver.

We think this game will be pretty awesome. Would you like to be informed more often about this upcoming simulation here on the RD news? Leave your comments below!

 

[Roland]

Yes, will buy for sure.
No idea why, but this type of game has been intriguing me since the 80's:

Played this one for hours and hours as a kid on my little 14" CGA monitor...

This thread has become rather quiet, it's time for some news on the game
Here's a new teaser for Euro Truck Simulator 2 showing a number of trucks.
It's not much, though at least it shows development is still going.

 

[Leon Charmant]

It's update time, people! And this time we're in for a treat, as SCS Software gives us our first good impression of what Euro Truck Simulator 2 will look like

To transform the static image below into a video, move your cursor over it and apply pressure on your mouse with your left finger until you hear *click*.

Perhaps you'd appreciate this complementary video of a sound recording session, too.

We shall await more goodies regarding this rather exquisite looking game that is to be Euro Truck Simulator 2. Woo!

 

[Lars Brugman]

Great video! Hope to get this with the release!

 

[Stewart Bridge]

Wow! I had no idea they were working on a sequel

I tried the first one, and the UK truck sim and really disliked the monotony of the motorways with not much to look at, but this looks outstanding!

I do hope though that they don't compress the roads down as much as they did before. If it takes 2-2.5 hours to drive from Birmingham to London, then I'd hope for it to take that time in game, but doing it in 20 mins of playtime just doesn't feel right. I know real routes can be done as the London to Brighton route for Train simulator 2012 has it bang on accurate.

 

[Senad Subasic]

Ah, Train Simulator... Loved the Newcastle to York route

 

[Lars Brugman]

Me wanna have!

 

[Stewart Bridge]

watching the GPS from 00:50 to 01:00 he travelled 2km in 10 secs?! at 720kph that's one fast truck!

well, guess it's confirmed my fears and is a heavily compressed road network

Well, I'm guessing most people probably wouldn't fancy driving across Europe in a truck in real time

 

[Stewart Bridge]

well yes, but as it's pretty much geared towards full on simulation, time/road compression should be an option, not mandatory.

Perhaps technically not doable.

I'd actually like the full distance as well, I think I remember routes in the original game being too fast. I probably need to get out more.

 

[Stewart Bridge]

Perhaps technically not doable.

have two sets of assets, compressed and not?

wonder if it's moddable. I'd like to think all key elements along the road are there, it's just a matter of adding the bits between junctions?

i recall on the first one, being on the motorway and having to brake and drop gears for a seriously sharp turn! aside from on/off ramps I don't think i've ever driven a motorway in the UK that does that it's like they literally traced the routes then scale the whole thing down in length... so i wonder if that same method could be used to enlarge it again?

 

[Senad Subasic]

Double the work, small team.

 

[Senad Subasic]

Wowza

[Lars Brugman]

This game will be awesome I hope!

 

[magicfr]

Le'ts hope they will support multiple controllers this time. I couldn't play the demo in #1 because I have wheel and pedals on 2 different controllers.

 

[Kenny Paton]

I'm going to get this, it'll be nice to drive something I can keep up with.

 

[Marcel vd Aa]

Finally there is a release date on this awesome game: October 19!!! Can't wait. In the mean time you can play this fun minigame through youtube:

 

[Kenny Paton]

I've just bought UK Truck Simulator to keep me going until then. At least I'll recognize the roads.
