Several of the teasers showed off a WIP Crown Vic. As a truck driver IRL that owns a Mercury Grand Marquis, it feels like this update is made just for me!
I was disappointed when I saw that there are few roads in the game (my expectations were far too high). I was hoping for, idk, 70% of roads? Really, some sort of driving game using google maps data would be pretty awesome, if a nightmare to process all the images. Hmm, data storage would be an issue too… streaming would be too slow (I think).
Seriously, I’ve been dreaming about world-scale videogame (world generates as you explore based on every useful satellite data we have) where you can just drive around.
Watch Lemmy turn one of the few apolitical posts about something American into something political in 3… 2… 1…
Politics is important but sometimes I just want to play a video game without someone turning the conversation to politics when that wasn’t the topic at hand at all. I’m super angry about all the things my country is doing now too, but I also sometimes want to enjoy what I have left instead of being constantly stressed about it and bringing up the horrors happening at every opportunity—especially with just a comment about if a truck driving sim that seems to be mostly just about driving will suddenly implement something political and unpleasant (when we know they probably will not, that’s not the vibe they are going for) and no links to taking action. (Here are a few, albeit aimed at Americans.
On the other hand, people have to vent sometimes and I guess I need to build up tolerance and a thicker skin to that, even when it shows up in a place marked Games and not US Politics.
Eh, to each their own, to me it wasn’t funny at all. Not in a this is offensive way, I can appreciate dark humor, but the impression I personally came away with was “annoying snarky comment” and less “incisive, witty, funny and topical joke”. Of course, my impression is probably extremely colored by my feeling it was just barely on-topic and a conversation hijack away from American Truck Simulator to American Politics, but I also have seen American politics comments that I found funny and this wasn’t one of them. Glad you enjoyed at least, as well as the other people who upvoted, nice to see people getting value out of it where I couldn’t.
yeah other countries arent xenophobic at all they love minorities, as a minority im glad I live in california, I dont hear great things about elsewhere, family from europe are always suprised by the diversity
I’ve played both games for years. There were mod, but half of them are shitty or don’t work. One I tried just gave me black textures. Unless there’s some paid marketplace I don’t know about, the mod options for drivable cars are shitty.

I want a Scion XB
Oh great. Nothing is safe from the Trans Am agenda.
This plus Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana and I can finally recreate Smoky and the Bandit 1!
Hell yeah!
Nothing like taking out the ‘93 Mercury Sable for a drive.

Wow I do not need yet another hobby but I know a couple dudes who will go nuts for this with their rigs.

I wouldn’t be to sure if Microsoft is working on something like this. What they did with Flight Simulator was pretty spectacular…
Seriously, I’ve been dreaming about world-scale videogame (world generates as you explore based on every useful satellite data we have) where you can just drive around.
Flight simulator comes close, but it’s flying.
And I believe it pulls the information real time from Microsoft servers
It does, but mostly because we’re talking about an enormous amount of data. The number being advertised is 2 Petabyte…
Just give me a destruction derby mode please.
Why not just play Wreckfest?
“Welcome to Destruction Junction!”
I just want rush hour traffic after being awake for three days in heavy stimulants mode.
you might like enviro-bear, the bear driving simulator for ios.
It’s also on windows
So, according to popular belief it’s really a penis size simulator!
Will it stimulate the downturn in shipping demand by making it harder to get work as the USA pushes itself and the rest of the world into recession.

I get what you say but in this case the comment was still kind of funny in a satyrical way.

No, that’s a DLC. Second most popular one behind “driving while being a minority”. With that DLC you get pulled over and harassed randomly.
yeah other countries arent xenophobic at all they love minorities, as a minority im glad I live in california, I dont hear great things about elsewhere, family from europe are always suprised by the diversity
I look forward to a virtual road trip my 86 Hyundai Pony.
Would be nice if euro truck sim got this.
Isn’t it already doable with mods tho? Just get a car mod? Right?
I’ve played both games for years. There were mod, but half of them are shitty or don’t work. One I tried just gave me black textures. Unless there’s some paid marketplace I don’t know about, the mod options for drivable cars are shitty.
Man I love this game. That be kick ass. I still want them to add the ability to eat food. All those fast food and gas stations and can’t eat.
To keep the Smokey’s distracted whilst you run bootleg beer across state lines?
This game works wonderfully on Steam Deck.
