Unbelievable how a game released in 2012 is still actual, maintained, and extending. I play ETS2 almost every day. Planning to switch to ATS after finishing all achievements. Probably next spring;)

[@thatvirusguy6642]

@@SergeMatveenko I remember playing ETS on my laptop in 2010 as my dad is a truck driver ive always been into it. I stopped playing it in 2011 and in 2013 i saw squirrel play ets2 and it got me interested as it looked great, i got my first gaming pc on christmas 2013 and got ets2 and i loved it. Me and my friend used to play online until 4am in the morning every day and always got the dlc's. ETS2 is still currently the game with the most brought dlc's on my steam and will keep growing.

[@annahenrietta9517]

Somehow, the 18 wheels of steel series back then, still have better rain and windscreen interaction even when compared with the actual games (ATS and ETS2) I remember one of them having "veining" effects when it would rain, extremely close to real life... Maybe it was the way I saw it back then. But the current games do lack in that department, as well as season simulation...

What I loved about this game was the way the weather worked. It didn't do that thing when the skybox would fade into a stormy sky like games usually do nowadays, the clouds would actually move in the sky and you could usually predict the rain several minutes in advance by looking into the sky and seeing a line of dark clouds on the horizon. I don't know if I've ever seen anything like this ever since.

In my opinion, out of all the games on this list (that I've played), ETS2 and ATS are by far the best as far as immersion and game mechanics go. However, I think a few of the earlier games were still pretty good for their time, and paved the way for ETS2, etc. Also, Spintires and its similar titles were a fresh addition to the simulation/driving genres for sure.

[@SPF9000]

Hard truck 2 had Load Thefts, Black market trucks, Illegal Gasoline refuels, Hidden Cargoes, Contraband Cargoes, Actual police chases, helicopter chases (with guns). Cops would shoot at your truck. Gas tanks could.explode by being shot or damaged to anthreshhold, gasoline trailers could explode, you could arrange deals.over the CB with rhe mafia or truckers, your trucks could get impounded. You could buy civilian vehicles to freeroam after you hired abunch of drivers to work for you. This game is from 1998

18 wheels of steel haulin is just legendary

[@darthkillerhog]

Took that many years to fix the graphics

[@datsun100a3]

Not fix but develop

[@GamingWithFusion]

@@datsun100a3 Pretty much, what people never take into account is technology back then couldn't run extremely good graphics that we're used to today and still can go better. You can make an extremely good graphics rated game but nothing will be able to run it. It's in optimizing your game for current hardware that becomes the challenge.

[@datsun100a3]

@@GamingWithFusion That’s exactly correct. Not even developers from back then had the computers to run or develop such technology. Today we are at the level where video games can literally be compared to real life

What did you expect? They're old games from 2000's. Did you expect all games released in 2000's to have Unreal 4 or 5 engine? I bet none of you people even lived in 2000's at all and probably born in mid-late 2010's. Why do people hate all 2000's games? That's how graphic looked back then, stupid idiots. I've more brains then you, and I live through the 2000's unlike you people who says "took that many years to fix the graphics" or "All 2000's graphics are shit" or "today's better" You also hate the 2000's and never wish it's the 2000's again. You don't even miss 2000's, you all 2020 is the best year ever.

@@automation7295 To be fair, 18 Wheels of Steel: Pedal to the Metal looked pretty good (i used to run in at lowest settings cause i had a potato pc even by 2000's standards, lol) But when i got new one i was so amazed at all the (crappy by now) reflections and stuff. And it had rockin' main theme.

[@epinafiusz80]

You missed one title - "On The Road" from 2019. And Scania Driving Simulator was, could say as an introduction\tutorial for Euro Truck Simulator 2. So it should be shown chronologically beforehand. Overall a nice video.:)

[@AntonFujdiak]

Toto video sa nemôže brat vážne! Aká evolúcia keď každá hra má iných vývojárov.

[@Chris1976de]

Nice video, thanks! I'm only missing "On The Road - Truck Simulator".

[@TheRostofan]

- Знаешь как они наших "Дальнобойщиков" называют? - Как? - "hardtrucker's" - лооооол))

[@Mario_With_a_D]

1:45 can’t believe that at the same time 18 wheel was already out, the next game you see in the timeline was that obsolete already, and by the way in Italy those game were sold, you could buy them at the mall but almost nobody did, I was only 10 at the time I asked my father but he looked at the minimum requirements of the pc and he didn’t even bother to buy it xD you needed what nowdays we call a “gaming pc” and we couldn’t afford it....so the max open world I plaid in 2002 and also passed some decent time with it was driver 2 for ps1...

[@davidinark]

Wow. A lot of these I hadn’t heard of. Cool video, though it’s more “timeline” than evolution. Some of the current games seem much less “evolutionary” than earlier releases.
