Cores, shaders and BIOS oh my!
Is that a complete rip off of Euro Truck Simulator 2 and American Truck Simulator by SCS? Pretty much everything in the trailer seems really familiar to me and I know I haven't played this game :p

Compare yourselves though maybe the trailers don't show the skills screen or the parking indicator etc but yeah they those where relevant:

Oh it was already mentioned, sorry, lol. I was skimming and thought that Yuro thing was some other obscure title, lol xD

But yeah that's kind of shameless regardless of bringing their game to additional platforms.

I'd never play these types of games, but I can where the fun can be had..... doing humongous crashes or driving the rigs off cliffs.

WTF- as people here note, does Truck Simulator not exist?

Why would a dev waste their time doing a crap version of a highly specialised and minority game type that already has a winning and highly praised title?

It gets worse. Doing mods for something like Minecraft has led to the better modders going on to make their own games. I don't know if one can mod Truck Simulator (america or europe), but playing that game, and then thinking about the mechanisms one could add to make it better would have been a far more sensible new developer approach.

The truth about sims is that there is a lot of room to innovate. But wasting one's time with Unity or Unreal, putting in a crappy road system, a crappy land system and then banging in some as-yet unlicenced vehicle models is really a giant waste of effort when a very good sim in the same direction is already sold.

I'll never get hobbyists who do lame copies with no originality. It's a big lost opportunity, and a waste of time and effort. Learn to code and design on something with some originality, and there's a real chance someone will have genuine interest in your early efforts.

The only advantage they have is that none of the Truck Simulator games made it to the consoles yet. But yeah, from what they've shown so far I'm not planning to waste my time with it (and my money).
