ETS2 Updates and Discussion - Release October 19th 2012

Aww, I almost want to buy ETS1 now only to help them :)

[CDMC]

WOW, i never knew you guys like SCS games O.o i'm playing them from almost day 1

 

ETS2 should be a big step to the right direction tho handling in the last video looks very bad... and as always small things like this can ruin all game... i know that its not done yet and won't be done in this year but i very hope they make a good (sim) handling for trucks :) *fingers crossed*

Well didn't they make Hard Truck: Road to Vicotry, and HT: King of the Road? I loved those games. Very nice games, and I played ETS1 as well, was very nice to play apart from a few bad things. ETS2 does seem to have huuuuge improvements, I've seen em including some more roads in Holland which makes me think the map is going to be insanely large, and they still keep open the possibility for licensed trucks.

 

SCS makes good games yes.

Hard Truck: Road to Vicotry, and HT: King of the Road are made by 1C and not SCS :)

 

btw about ETS2 map, its going to be biggest map they ever made. :)

[CLR-GTR]

Well I remembered the SCS banners on the tracks, just forgot they were the publishers back then :)

[CLR-GTR]

My goodness.... just look at the possibilities of customization!!! o.O

 

[Zulnex]

Absolutely amazing. :cool:

I've been following SCS Software progress since their very beginning. They are doing an outstanding job. Can't wait till release. :cool:

[CDMC]

If truck handling will be same as in Trucks and Trailers this will be and a Epic Fail of a game...

[TIMELESS]

It looks fantastic, as long as the roads are more interesting and the steering isn't stupid I'll get it.

Looks amazing :coolspot:

Shame there's no new Actros :p

That's often the issue with licensing, that in some cases they just can't obtain rights for a most recent model.

I hate that. It's odd to see not-facelifted cars in new games.

[Prophecy]

I uhh... no offense, but why are you all so into a truck simulator? How can you be interested in trucks and supercars at the same time, makes no sense to me... Just sayin.

[Ryzza5]

I'm not into ETS, but I will try out just about any free-roam driving game though, whish is essentially what TDU1 was.

It is so funny to just derp around Europe in something bigger than a car.

Euro Truck Simulator 2 [LATEST NEWS]

 

Euro Truck Simulator was created by SCS Software and it is their best selling game to date. Euro Truck Simulator's younger brothers, German Truck Simulator and UK Truck Simulator. They have been very popular in the countries they have been based around. SCS Software came to the decision about a year and a half ago to start work on what they call 'Euro Truck Simulator 2', they then launched their official blog page which you can visit HERE. For all the blog posts, you can find them in the archive located on the right-hand-side of your screen. The blogs are in date order. But, this topic is for us to share the latest updates. So, let's get the ball rolling.

 

Night Driving

We are thinking of making the night in Euro Truck Simulator 2 much darker than in any of our previous games. 
In the previous games, we had to make a compromise and make sure that the ambient light at night was still 
strong enough for the player to be able to make out his surroundings. With ETS2, our new "true" projected 
lights in the 3D engine allow us to emulate the light conditions at night much better, without making the game 
borderline unplayable.

 

 

 

 

[superhyper]

I think there already was a thread for ETS2 news :hmmm:

[Scaniabebe]

That topic was more of a discussion thread, this thread is specificity for the updates from SCS Software. ;)

[CLR-GTR]

I think it's better this post gets merged wtih my thread, it was a discussion topic yes, ón the updates... This topic will just get the same thing so you end up with two topics doing the same. :)

[Scaniabebe]

I'll make sure this stays an update topic, that WILL be achieved...

[Ryzza5]

Threads merged due to numerous requests. You can't prevent people from discussing the updates. You can however ask the original poster or a moderator to update the first post to show the latest official updates.

[CLR-GTR]

Some of the roadsigns they're now busy with placing them. With the complexity and size of the gameworld, they expect to spend several weeks in just placing them in the world. That does not include time for testplaying and creating them...

Truck Customization in ETS2

 

Today we have a gameplay video from Euro Truck Simulator 2 for you, showing the user interface for truck customization. Enjoy!

 

 

Pretty cool right?

[CLR-GTR]

This might be the best vehicle customization built in-game I've ever seen. They did an outstanding job with the lights on the bars, but also the cab versions and the drivetrain configurations.
