ATS (as the cool kids say) will be released next Wednesday. Anyone else here HYPED about this? If not, here's a video to get you hyped:

Initially it'll only include California and Nevada(Arizona will be added as a free DLC later) and only 2 trucks. And gameplaywise it doesn't seem to differ at all from ETS2. Thankfully the pricetag matches the limited content, at $20/€20.

I will, of course, be playing and reporting back as soon as I get my hands on this. :)

Are you going to play it in the Oculus Rift?

YOU KNOW IT! :D
Ok mostly I'll just be playing it the ol' regular monitor way, but I'll be sure to borrow the DK2 from work and try it with the Rift as well. ETS2 with the Oculus Rift was ok, not great, because it's a bit too pixelated to see far ahead and read roadsigns easily. (my preferred way of playing these games is turning off the GPS and just navigating using roadsigns)

ATS got released one day early! So I bought and downloaded it tonight.
However, I hadn't even managed to make it onto the road before I started questioning whether I was cut out for the intense traffic of the American roads. :sweat:

That did seem kinda silly. Was it in the middle of rush hour or something?

Seems pretty realistic.

Yeah I dunno. Never had that much trouble getting onto the road in ETS2. Hopefully it was just an anomaly.

ATS tuned to the Country station is a sadder game than the final episode of The Walking Dead season 1.

Haha that first vid of yours henke reminds me of a Simpsons episode where Principal Skinner has to drive the school bus.
