I fucking loved 18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal, hope this will be even bigger
American trucks look so much better than the flat European ones.
[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;48403194]American trucks look so much better than the flat European ones.[/QUOTE] I got a eurobias, but I disagree. The European cab-overs looks more efficient instead of the power that American trucks ooze. They don't look as strong 'cause they don't need to; they do just as well with much less effort. Dunno if that's actually true, it's just my visual impression. Eurotrucks are flat due to length regulations, as far as I recall.
I really hope this supports streaming internet radio like Euro Truck Simulator. But besides that I am sold on this game.
As long as this is basically Euro Truck 2 but in America, it's going to be great

[QUOTE=KillerJaguar;48403194]American trucks look so much better than the flat European ones.[/QUOTE] Isnt the reason the european are flat because its easier to see people in front of the truck?

Eurotrucks are flat due to length regulations, as far as I recall.[/QUOTE] American-style trucks are actually more efficient than the cab-over European style trucks, due to a lower drag coefficient. Even the most boxy American truck, the Peterbilt 379, still has less drag than the slab-faced Scanias or whatever. US trucks are more comfortable as well. The European trucks are only that way because of size restrictions.
I wonder if its going to be a 1:1 of the united states with all the real roads.
I was wondering if this would get made on my last road trip, I'm glad it did.
