Excited for it was looking from long time to have a good trucking game for console

[@CGDGAMES]

I was excited for it lol , now I'm nervous if it's going to be a good port or not on the consoles !

[@MAJOR_PICKLE]

Well as usual thanks mate for the info Lee always Top Notch.. I'll wait until release before pulling the trigger on this one i still have some reservations with gameplay

[@CGDGAMES]

[@clausbaumann8335]

@@CGDGAMES Good to know 😃. I will join and if the impressions are good, I will download right away. I think with all the aspects being covered it will be a totally new experience with hopefully hundreds of hours playing fun 👍.

[@neilfairlie6097]

Ohhh yessss....I can't wait for this one....Looks like the trucking game us console guys have been waiting for.

[@CGDGAMES]

It plays well on PC , fingers crossed the port travels well across to console !

[@Brockily]

Looking forward to this game on console. Appreciate the video. Also, the audio on your videos are just fine for me!

[@CGDGAMES]

Appreciate the feedback about the audio !

[@martinpatterson9015]

Hopefully the Truck management is easier than on the Road is

[@CGDGAMES]

It's a lot easier !

[@Jack_Death834]

Im realy looking forward to yhis coming out. I am just waiting for some console reviews first before buying. Brilliant episode buddy 👍

[@CGDGAMES]

This will go straight to the top of the pile !

Official Twitter Post (Translated): Ladies and Gentlemen, due to numerous inquiries from investors, we would like to inform you that the known prices of the game in the console version are set at USD 29.04 on the PlayStation platform and USD 27.49 on Xbox. The console version of the game includes all DLC released so far on PC. In case anyone sees this who is new.

[@Waynem387]

@Lee , it's looking good now , will definitely be getting this , will be one of the games I will be doing on my new channel that will start the week beginning the 8th of July , yeah I'm going to try again , if anything happens this time I'll get in touch with KZbin 👍

[@CGDGAMES]

that is incredible news , im so happy , top man , you will get back to where you were in no time

[@CGDGAMES]

Also , I've just received a comment that my voice is to low on this video ,.for me it's fine , what is your opinion pal ?

[@Waynem387]

@@CGDGAMES thank you Lee I thought that would make you happy , regarding your voice it seems fine to me, I heard what you was saying no problem 👍

[@midisong]

Awesome video like usual. As far as the AI cars and trucks. I basically saw only one car during the entire video. Is this something you can control as far as density goes ?

[@CGDGAMES]

The AI can be quite low at times , depends on time of year in game , during the recording we were heading into deep winter , so not much traffic on the roads as it gets deadly

[@justme_7145]

If your revised estimations are correct then £40 equates to a 95% mark-up on the PC version! Plus, developers also have to pay a commission to Steam (I read somewhere that it was 30%) for each unit sold so "console tax" shouldn't even be a talking point when it comes to attempting to justify that level of price hiking. I just hope now that your preliminary estimations were a little closer to the mark because much as I may be interested in ART, I flat refuse to be ripped off just because I play my games on console.

[@CGDGAMES]

I hope my first estimation is correct !

[@dgeneratio1]

Likewise, Brothers getting it me, £25-30 is my limit (Hoping £25). If it's any more, i'll wait for a Sale and they may get less money due to overcharging. Only way i can justify £40 is if all future DLC is included.

[@CGDGAMES]

@@dgeneratio1 this was my point in my live stream the other day ! Not everyone has a disposable income and have to save for things like this , a price should of been announced weeks ago , not days before release , it's piss poor !

[@dgeneratio1]

@@CGDGAMES Agreed, i keep asking on Twitter but keep being ignored. No Pre-Order i get it but it doesn't cost anything to announce a price on socials.

[@dgeneratio1]

I do want the game but i have limits on how much i want to spend. ATS/ETS on Console would be a dream come true but this is the next best thing.

[@mikkdc]

I really wanna get this, but Still Wakes The Deep is out in June and I have really been wanting that one too. I think what I will do is get Still Wakes The Deep in June and then get this in August, when I can afford to. Hopefully by then any bugs and glitches will have been sorted, if there are any on release that is.

[@CGDGAMES]

Sounds like a plan buddy 👍

[@marombeirosraiz2897]

Esse jogo é bem promissor! Senti falta de mais carros no tráfego.

[@CGDGAMES]

Yes it very quiet on the roads , my take on that , it's Alaska , it's population is low and people don't travel about to much due to the bad conditions 🤷‍♂️ I don't know lol , just my take ! But thanks for watching pal

[@SireDragonChester]

Does the trucks have proper Eaton Fuller 13/18 speed options and Proper Jake/engine brake?. When I tried the demo years ago. They’re did not have 13/18 speed option or any Jake brake. If dont have those. Then it’s Not real semi truck simulator. Which most older trucks have and Jake brakes are STANDER safety feature on all semi trucks since 1980’s, maybe even early.

[@derekholman1425]

I’m very excited for this game to come to console

[@CGDGAMES]

So you should be , it's a lot of fun !

[@Schiessburger01]

an european map, european trucks would be nice. i'm still thinking about it, even though the price of the xbox version is pretty cheap i'm not sure. thanks for insight

[@CGDGAMES]

Maybe they will expand the Alaskan map , but can't see a European map , maybe in the future as a seperate game !

[@UnhumanoiD1974]

I just got the game and I was wondering if you could hire drivers later on cuz am not seeing anything about it so far looks like the 3 parking space is just so you can have different trucks

[@CGDGAMES]

No employees at all no ,.the spaces as you said are there for trucks you are not using ?

[@mnewmansk8237]

Can you have a mirror inside the cab? I don't have a directional stick on my steering wheel. It would be pretty annoying to keep switching between the controller and the wheel while you driving.

Yes , there are virtual mirrors you can enable !

This game looks good. Have always wanted a trucking sim for console. There have been some….. but they just didn’t hit the mark or they just didn’t continue with updates

[@CGDGAMES]

It's a cracking game Dan , I'm looking forward to seeing what you all think of it when it hits consoles ! Fingers crossed it's a good port !

[@Happyland_Motel_Gamer_Cat]

CGD i thought this was early access reason being the interior and the plastic indicators on the steering wheel and the dashboard etc :D look really low poly tbf i am dawg worried how the console release is going to be.

[@CGDGAMES]

It's not the best looking game out there , I totally admit that ! Infact when I first saw it I was very disappointed , but after a while it starts to have some charm to it ! For me it's all about the gameplay , it's a really immersive little sim that I enjoy playing , and I'm sure once you get passed the visuals you might enjoy it too ! But as always, thanks for watching and I really appreciate your comments and value your opinions 👍

[@GermanEnigma]

Truck Driver: The American Dream's full retail price just gotten a permanent slash to $39.99 or €39.99 with immediate effect. The updated pricing is already up on the PlayStation store and other platforms.

[@CGDGAMES]

I've never actually tried sleeping at one , I always just get my head down in the truck

[@lenwiggins3052]

@@CGDGAMES I think that if you sleep in a hotel you get more of a benefit in some way. Maybe it gives you a longer time until you need to sleep again. Or more health or something.

[@ivanwallace3296]

I have a good pc, do you think its worth waiting for on the ps5 or should i go pc? I haven't looked but is there any good mods?

[@CGDGAMES]

Entirely up to you pal , although what I will say , is that depending on how good your PC is ? You'll probably get a better experience , but we shall see what the console version brings to the table ! Thanks for watching

[@Stone2D3D]

I'm sorry, I have to ask; Does this game looks this ugly or is it the KZbin video quality? I watched your video on 1080 and I'm honestly not impressed with the graphics and the 3D modeling; I had hoped it would look like ETS or ATS... I'm still interested in the game and hope it has good FF wheel support from launch. Thanks for the video!

[@CGDGAMES]

The game does have a look that I've never seen before in a game , and I even admitted it's not the best looking game out there , but the gameplay is solid ( on PC ) and for me that's what it's all about ! Yes ETS AND ATS has it all , but they have over 10 years of development behind them , we all have to start somewhere !

[@Kev_AH]

Out of interest, are you using a steering wheel to play this game? And if so which one please?

[@CGDGAMES]

I wasn't using a wheel per say, I use a controller called the thrustmaster eswap ! Look it up , it's a great piece of kit if you don't have room for a steering rig !

[@ivanwallace3296]
