[@andrewhickinbottom1051]

I still find it strange that they called it 'Alaskan Truck Simulator', which is way too close to ATS - its especially odd since their cheeky marketing material says "be a TRUCKER, not a truck" - so therefore it should be Alaskan TRUCKER Simulator haha

[@KCS4LifeOFFICIAL]

@@andrewhickinbottom1051 yeah the marketing has been weak, but im not exactly disappointed with the in game yet. Its also not too impressive yet, right now im neutral on this title

[@BlueOvals24]

Yeah they changed it, but it still looks very ATSy to me. Even the menu music seems similar to what ATS has.

[@KCS4LifeOFFICIAL]

@@BlueOvals24 the ATS music brings back memories of 18 wheels of steel haulin, a past SCS game that i grew up on. Nostalgic vibes, especially with the colorful background for the truck on screen

Real life of a trucker, this is one of the best games ever, with even a live radio ♥️

[@ParkeraNZ]

Thanks for showing this Jeff. Some interesting aspects I love for sure like walking around your truck and hooking the cables and those things as well as the fuelling is something I love and wish they'd have in ATS/ETS. Unsure personally regarding the survival aspects myself but certainly a point of difference.

[@HankJr.]

I’ve had this in my wishlist for quite a while, glad to see a demo is out finally giving us a look. I was wondering if it was just gonna be an Alaskan version of ATS and I’m glad it’s entirely different. I really like the survival mechanic of it right down to the little things such as running it, it definitely has potential. Curious about mod support further down the road when the game releases, hope they allow it.

[@amontedowl9836]

It’s actually kinda nice having a game where you can actually see towns in Alaska that you’ve been to living in Alaska is the greatest thing I swear Maybe sometimes

[@specture47177]

I would never turn the engine off in Alaska in the winter unless the engine is being torn into. Even in the 48 if I'm up north the truck doesn't turn off under 20

[@Star0stinIg0r]

ATS + The Long Dark = Alaskan Truck Simulator

[@shaunbarter1458]

This is awesome. I have this on my wish list and I was sold when you read about the career and a sandbox. I have just as much fun creating and playing that creation as I do with career modes. AWESOME JEFF, thanks for showing us this game.

[@Chris-eh3du]

Thanks for the indepth demo Jeff! I'm happy to see it has different aspects to set it in a different place than going up against ATS. I think it's pretty cool. For people like me, it'll be a fun addition. I usually cycle between ATS, Snowrunner, and others

[@SewerShark]

My complaint with these kinds of games is that they look very "asset store" bash kit, and they probably are.

[@AditMahesh]

I think you were only supposed to eat 1 reindeer and keep the rest for later. Probably would have held you over. Great game regardless.

[@FEEAR1000]

I can't wait for Australian Truck Simulator as well.. both games look interesting! Happy Tuesday everyone

[@Elzorro574]

That game from the demos looks very immersive hopefully it is as good as they made it look and if so hopefully ats can get to that level of immersion one day

[@FEEAR1000]

@@Elzorro574 totally agree! I love ATS but being able to step out of your truck and fix it or relax is so nice. I hear in Siberian Train Simulator you’ll have to fight wildlife and other cool shit🔥

[@TartlezGamer]

I've got to say, that was so addictive. I couldn't stop watching. Can't wait to try it out. Thanks Jeff

[@Altalus]

Working on my CDL right now so some weird things: 1- blinkers are not turned off automatically on some trucks (all the ones I used so far at least), 2- Usually no need to shutdown the engine to hookup, and no need to manually lock the pin, it should be done by the small impact when backing up. Love your videos :)

[@the_guy_without_a_creative1808]

Always good to check the pin just in case. You can drop a trailer if it doesn't luck automatically

[@Altalus]

@@the_guy_without_a_creative1808 Well, I backup to lock it, then get in 1st and try to go forward. That way I test it and know it holds. Then I raise the feet, connect everything, and do my pre-trip with it.

[@LarryMyster]

As a person with CDL holder for over a year. I second this. It's also noted there are 1 cord and 2 air hoses. Blue service brakes, red emergency brake, and green cord is for power. Strange that the back lights didn't even illuminate on te trailer when he hooked up.

[@tdaonp]

In ETS in the beginning (long time ago) blinkers didn't turn off automatically either. Maybe a more difficult thing to program than it seems. They added it later, so maybe they add it here too. It's still a demo after all.

[@Altalus]

@@tdaonp Oh, I was trying to say the opposite. In real life, lots of trucks do NOT turn their turn signal off, you have to do it, at least for North American Trucks :)

[@kennethcarlton2860]

Hey Jeff you remember when you picked up the chains earlier in the game those chains are for the tires that's why you were losing grip and you was in 8th gear in there the speed was at 20

I watched this video 7 months ago. Forgot all about it. Now I want to play it since I am back to playing ATS since not playing for a few years. Also how do you not have like 5 mil subscribers by now? I played with you a few times on a certain server and was in a few of the videos lol.

[@Skligmund]

Deer sign should be caribou or moose crossing. Winter solstice you'll get no sun, summer solstice you'll get 24 hours of light. Black out curtains are a necessity here to sleep in the summer. This is set about 400 road miles from me, can confirm people cutting off large vehicles (motorhomes, big rigs, trucks towing boats). I think it tends to be done because of the lack of passing areas, and people are afraid of having to drive behind something slow for many miles. Looks like the game has promise.

[@davidpeters9343]

I have been wondering about this game ever since I seen the trailer for it and glad there's a demo out for it and it seems like it's gonna be pretty good and I like how interactive it is and how there's all kinds of different things you can do and it's pretty cool how you can fill up the oil and stuff in your truck thats pretty awesome. Thanks for sharing and when the game comes out I would love to see you play more of this. Anyway keep up the great work much love to ya Jeff have a good one take care God bless and I hope the rest of your week is good and I will see ya on the next one brother catch ya later

[@rangerscope2626]

PLEASE revisit it Jeff it is such a good game! I had it on my wishlist since it was first put up on steam to get it so I was really excited to see the demo get released. The game easily way surpassed my expectations and I am way more than happy with how it turned out. I mean you can do so much stuff in the game that is absolutely awesome 😮

[@rangerscope2626]

Okay after finishing the rest of the demo I have to admit Jeff definitely covered the coolest parts and then after he died there actually wasn't anything else really interesting. I remember being sad because you can't actually go into the stores like they got me believing you might be able to do based on the incredible realism (for real! I got a little too excited when I saw you could get out of the truck, sleep in it, go in the back, hook up the cables and do all that stuff) 🤷😂 But I was disappointed how soon the demo ended because I wanted to play more 😂

[@annieyahknight]

Only negative for me so far is that the hunger meter runs down a bit too fast would be cool if they could fix that.

[@zachscott8795]

Maybe your character is heavy set 😂

[@dennismmm]

I can go without food for a few days and be fine so yeah

[@dudo626]

That being said he also wasted 2 of those reindeer portions in the beginning

[@captainrampage1044]

I had really low expectations for this game, but I was pretty pleasantly surprised by the reveal. I think I'll stick with the truck driving simulators but if I'm ever in the mood for survival now we've got a cool niche with trucks! (Though now that I've seen what the game already has, I fully expect there to be a decent selection of trucks considering they're going the un-branded route)

You are right, in Alaska in the winter the truckers do not turn there engine off, due to the fact that there engine can freeze. I hope they change the turning off the engine. Even when they go in to eat, they leave the trucks on. 😎

Might as well add bathroom breaks if we have to eat. They could have a 💩meter. Maybe we could spend time shopping for life insurance or after a long road trip, we come home to a cheating wife, and have to play divorce sim. Or maybe devs should stick to driving and add track IR.

that was painful Jeff , thanks for taking the bullet for some of us....truck on mate !

[@andrewhickinbottom1051]

Thanks for trying this out Jeff! I'm actually pretty impressed - ive been wanting the extra immersion and tasks this offers in ATS for years. I'm not that interested in the survival / obstacles nature of the Alaska setting, but the ability to interact with the switches in your truck, get in the back, sleep at will, eat, connect the trailer hoses etc is great! I really hope there are teams at SCS working on adding stuff like this to ATS instead of just map DLC and no additions to the base game.

[@Xegethra]

Yeah, ATS is fun for a while but since the driving is all you do....it gets stale. Haven't booted it up in ages because of that. The end of the tutorial mentions running a company but you hardly do that even, something like that as well as lorry maintenance and having to do some more manual things would be nice. They don't even need goofy arms or crappy mini games, just press a button and watch it all click into place. Like many things in the game all these things should be optional and customisable so you can do what you find fun and not do what you don't.

[@kentbyron1738]

However you can`t attach or detach the trailer with the rngine running (I came back to correct a typo and figured ad add that 2nd tidbit while I as here... Oh and it seems to work ok if you shut the engine off and sleep with heater running... Must have a webasto or something)
