that looks good i’m so happy

Can you play this game on pS5 to 😎😊

[@Senshiro-San]

Just keep in mind guys ,Aerosoft is a publisher, not a developer. The developers are Simula Games, and they're very responsive to the needs of their communities. We don't have any good truck simulations on consoles, so this one is the best for me.

[@Senshiro-San]

@@Stone2D3D I understand that, it's up to you to pick or not the game you have your opinions and I have mines, my thoughts still the same it's a good truck simulator for console 🤗

[@ShredhedGaming]

So does this developer have control over the console port? Because other game devs that use aerosoft do not have that control and aerosoft refuses to fix games after maybe 3 or 4 patches. Fernbus on console is a mess and TML claim that they have no control over the console ports and that's all aerosoft. So that's the issue with these ports, if the devs don't control it and it's all on aerosfoft then this game will be like all the rest

[@DarthKoth]

@@Stone2D3Dhear hear, all that plus the way that Fabian fella carries himself, been burned by Aerosoft too many times

[@001sander2]

Is it wheel compatible

[@racdude01]

Damn this looks great! It has wheel support, fov and seat position sliders. On The Road and Truck Driver need to take note THIS is how you do a trucking game and with only 5 members on the team those other dev teams have no excuses

[@trax2647]

By meaning wheel support, it can also work on consoles?

[@darylb889]

For a core team of 5 developers not a bad effort

[@redbelliedgaming]

This game definitely has alot of potential

[@Kschychooo]

I am happy to hear that the team is working on porting (for the lack of better word right now) to as many gaming platforms as possible. And great to hear wheel support is included (my comment of certain other game/studio and their comments on wheel support. BTW I wonder on the status of the Going North dlc status on that game, but it's neither here nor there, we are talking about Trucks and Logistics here) Now for the future of Trucks and Logistics maybe next step would be looking into potential improvements/optimization between the platforms as well as map expansion (wouldn't surprise me if it will be dlc based) extra cargoes (it is somewhat basic but I like the loading aspects of the cargo) unloading of the cargo and getting more vehicles and definitely trying to get as many licenses as possible and maybe even being able to get out of the car and walk to either cars/vehicles that need to be loaded or to loading equipment and being able to secure the cargo and connect the trailers to the pulling vehicle. Otherwise I also say that for the price of the game it is definitely worthy to grab. Even just for time to time fun.

[@leephipps3530]

Great in-depth review. I quite like the look of the game. I agree with your thoughts on it. 👍

No problem 👍

Thanks for picking this up and reviewing it for us... I think for me I'll ether be waiting for it to go on sale or see how it develops over the next year or so. It doesn't look bad, but I'd prefer a bit more immersion personally.

[@thekingofkingsrp]

I agree with you Jason on the parking should make you park exactly in the green box & with the loading when it switches you to early in the delivery vehicle 👍

Absolutely

[@davidc3663]

Yes, I would like to park the wholeway before ending the mission.

[@JayDidntDoIt]

Yeah but it's pretty cold out to be fair

[@realcarloscasablanca]

@LimpCheeto Snowrunner is one of the best games I ever played but I never physically loaded my trucks in that game..... My comment was based on this game wants the immersion of loading your trucks but then teleports you around which totally breaks that immersion.

[@RemnantsOfBeauty]

Looks pretty good gameplay wise. But I REALLY wish developers would stop using the unity engine. It just looks SO dated.

[@GametechUK]

I totally agree. Although look at the recent Airport Sim. That's Unity and looks amazing.

[@AcornSmokes420]

It’s cheaper to use

[@DarnellFernandes]

Gametech I agree with all of your points in this review, I will probably pick it in the near future on the ps5 or pc

Struggling on this one, I got it on pc and it’s just lacking something for me. As you say they need to build flesh. It feels a bit bare bones. They also really need to sort the pop in

[@scottdafoe2543]

definitely looks better on consoles then the switch version! great review.

[@GametechUK]

100% agree

[@Turn1t0ff]

For £25, I say it's maybe worth a punt, but I have mixed feelings on this. I played On The Road and that was seriously iffy, but this looks like a significant leap up on the development investment, albeit nothing to hold a candle to ETS2 or Snowrunner on. Intriguing cargo loads and actually loading stuff yourself is great, so that's a big plus point aspect for gameplay. Few things I did like about On The Road though was tachographs, manual fuelling up, and adjusting support legs on trailers etc, therefore I hope this has similar mechanics in play too. But... if this game kind of autocorrects your inputs and buffers margin of error with most actions being automated - trailer doors, flatbed sides and all that, it's gonna feel a little bit immersion breaking and hand holding, along with the big white locator ring, hmm... maybe won't be too much a bother once acclimated to those systems, hopefully. Yeah, Unity looks a tad sloppy on the PS5, but as it's the only platform I have, and if a patch is imminent anyway then I'm quite tempted to give it a go. Main reservation is Aerosoft. If they have majority authority over the console ports with their track record on the lack of long term care is a huge detractor. Perhaps getting in early, squeezing one's money's worth from it before AS decide to drop the post release maintenance like a vindaloo turd, it might not be so bad regarding AS's lackadaisical and borderline contempt in that department. Another thing that I feel does need highlighting though is that the game on PS5 is 1GB. Yeah, ONE SINGLE GIGABYTE. I drop bigger farts than that! I am always dubious about games smaller than 20GB because it causes me to ask the question, "How many corners were cut, and is it going to be shallow, sparse and so very basic it feels like one of those throwaway £1 games in the bargain bin on the PlayStation Store?" And, 28km sq? ABout 11sq miles. 640 acres ~ a dozen. That's miniscule. Not sure like the idea of such a small map. Then again, we're talking a 5 person dev team and a £25 price tag, so can't really expect too much I suppose. Erm, think I may have dissuaded myself here. Time to sleep on it, methinks.

[@felixdarmawan1904]

Great point

[@Pugwash.]

That looks quite playable.

[@davidfinney9788]

Looks like a nice game but would be nice if u could get out the vehicle and press a button to connect the trailers and moving parts ect

[@DaleKelleher1989]

I have owned this game for 2 years left a review for the team with points that are wrong and there has been no change. The idea of the game I love but the game is hard to play with all the little bits that don't work. I hope they put a bit of polish to the game and finish it.

[@GametechUK]

What sort of bits?

[@jasonwarren1971]

@@GametechUK Hi when turning in truck and trailer you cant jacknife the truck, so you cant make tight turn in yards. The containers are a different size props to load, I have a fanatic wheel and cant get it to work in auto with out clutch. The air plow off on the trucks is to close, as a class one driver in real life that's wrong. the trucks are all different size when the first one should be the sane as the MAN. I know it silly but it break the real feel of the game. It just need polishing but they haven't in 2 years.

[@greatappledates2167]

As a console gamer, it’s been really nice to see the types of sim games release with more variety and improved gameplay from where we started. This game has realistic driving physics, a variety of missions and a big map which is all I could really hope for. There’s nothing worse then having a driving game with unrealistic driving physics and thin roadways that hamper the experience greatly, so I’m happy to be getting this on console. GametechUK has always been a trusted voice for gamers. Always giving us his real opinions on the types of games I enjoy whether it’s something I had been looking forward to or something new that I had no idea about. Appreciate the content he makes 100%.

[@AhriCRose]

It's intriguing that MAN and SCANIA are part of the VAG group. I'm curious why Volkswagen isn't featured in the game.

[@animaltvi9515]

Nice review. Think i shall give this ago.. but seeing as its been out for 2 years on pc, has any of the promised stuff materialised yet ?oh and FYI , A rigid truck and trailer is not a double trailer its a wagon and drag. It only has one trailer.

[@Turn1t0ff]

After playing this for a couple of hours, I say... DO NOT BUY THIS It's horrendous. It runs like diarrhoea with a side of alzheimers on PS5. It's not pretty. Framerate struggled to get a consistent 25fps. Menus/UI are unintuitive and shallow. The map is bland, sparse, generic, and pop-in is everywhere. There's no immersion regarding driving controls - start engine, move, then nothing more beyond that. The graphics and performance are from 20 years ago. Like Skyrim with trucks but on the worst PC you ever had as a kid. AVOID. AVOID. AVOID. I got lucky and got a refund. Tax write off. Goes to show how much the EuroTruck Sim devs could clean up on current gen consoles if they could be arsed to port a competent version of ETS2 to PS5. No idea why they haven't yet, they'd make a fortune.

[@Marvin_mole62]

@GametechUK I've this Game for a while now and have put some time into the game I do like it warts and all, just wise the was head tracker and that the game had a arrow b4 you are going to ture left Or right but hay I'm being picky here ...

Honestly I didnt see a huge difference between ps5 and xbox in the video. Pop in is horrible in all of these games

[@GametechUK]

That may be my editing smoothing it out.

[@racdude01]

As far as I could tell PlayStation just had a lower frame rate and maybe a little less crispness. But honestly had to go back and watch both parts again to really see the difference

[@DRIV3R931]

I would like it except for one thing. I like to interact with tying down stuff. You can't do that in this type of game. I like going out and tying down each thing now one thing is inside the truck from moving the pellets

[@spacedragon64]

Good detailed review. Seem to be a "good" truck game for console player. Since the ps4 version have working mirror, i assume that the Xbox series S have them too ? Does they look low res / blurry too, but still functionnal ?

[@MisterRawgers]

They look decent, a little choppy at times, you also have the option of having your side mirrors pop up on each side of your screen for a better view

[@Keselowski6]

Is there fines for running red lights or speeding. If not do we know if it’s coming?

[@bogdanrus9402]

The game seems to have it's ups and downs at this moment, but i really hope these guys succeed. You can tell a lot of work and love has gone into this. I'm determined to wait a bit before buying it, but if they implement walk/ freeroam mode, i'm instantly sold.

[@GametechUK]

That won't be coming to the game.

[@dommorris325]

It's a driving game not gta

[@ToshMackins]

It seems like a really good game for that price. But i can only hope that they are going to do something about that PS5 frame rate, because in terms of immersion, a jittery stuttering frame rate completely destroys any immersion and atmosphere. If the PS5 version is using the same resolution and graphics settings as the Series X, they should lower some of it in the PS5 version. A smooth frame rate is more important than a couple of pixels or reflection / shadow details. Or if their target is 60 fps, they should include a option to lock it to 30 fps instead, for people who prefer a smooth frame rate over a unstable higher frame rate.

[@dustinjohnson4890]

Biggest downside for me: if you play multiplayer the ai cars are not synchronized.... That makes escort missions somewhat useless. You don't see the cars wich you should stop or slow down and if you touch a car wich you don't see it just disappears for your multiplayer friend. It's a very nice game but it needs some love from the devs. Hope to see some fixes and maybe map expansions in the future. My personal rating 7,5/10 with space to improve.

Snow runner better than this 😅. Snow runner is even better than mud runner. Awful game. Near enough unplayable . The steering is so slow and unresponsive. It doesn't self center its all based on nonpowered steering. . Gave up with that years ago. Unless that's been fixed.
