FIA European Truck Racing Championship

[GT VIRUS]

The modelling of the track is terribly poor in this video. No blending between the surfaces, the corners are not smooth, the kerbs look like they have just been plonked on top of the grass and many many more issues

NO VR= NO BUY

There goes 1% of the customers.

I’m definitely interested in a truck sim, but not this one I don’t think. It looks terribly sterile to me, unlike the video of the Brazilian truck racing someone posted. The fact that this will be available for the Nintendo Switch should be a warning sign I think. If anything, this has got me more hyped for AMS w in December!

This looks cool

Ftruck for me, Cant wait to try it in AMS2.

Having watched the video again a few times I'm still left with some questions hanging about what direction this plans to take. I suspect it won't be an rF2 level sim, but if they keep it aimed at the F1201X type of sim - accessible level, then that's a pretty good ground on which to start.

Needless to say I've reached out to them anyway, so hopefully more info can be acquired, an interview or two and maybe even some pre release hands on action. I'll let you know how it goes!

now you sound triggered

I'm good pal!

Looking really good ! Souning really good aswell ! But it needs to be more dirty, dark smore and stuff

 

[Patrik Marek]

what's wrong with steering wheel animation ?

 

[Dethrone1427]

I think it might be the AI driving... Least that's what I took from it. Looks quite similar to some other games when you go onboard with the AI. I seem to remember RF being a bit similar to how this looked, but not to this degree.

Thanks for that, Paul. While the focus here is on 'sims', RD has grown quite a bit in the relatively short time I've been visiting. Reaching out to more devs will hopefully alert them to the sizable contingent of potential customers looking for a more realistic approach to racing. Surely that's a good thing.

Interesting game and looks like fun. Really havent been into driving the Trucks on tracks in the racing games and have to see the after release reviews and discussions on Steam to see the reactions are to this game. Looking at the trucks in the game replay and a real live truck race, does this game make the trucks look longer than in real life truck races? I watched the one post in the comments of a real race. Dont look like the same length wheel bases.

Also need to see what wheel controller support they offer. What all the tracks are, and initial selling price is. I have VR, but that is not important, I think I can use 3D apps to do almost a VR effect if need be like Vorpx or Virtual Desktop for non VR games.

Have to look again, but I think one or two of my games already have trucks, not sure though, but maybe Rfactor 2, Assetto Corsa mods, or AMS 1 might have them. AMS 2 will be awesome also if they include trucks. I also see on Steam store there is a Formula Truck 2013 game which I have no plans on getting.

Note: did find a working Formula truck mod for Rfactor 2 which the game does work in VR. Assetto Corsa has a truck mod but with current updates, does not work for me. Plus AMS 1 has the trucks. So will give them a try also.

Those European trucks are cute... But this is the real deal:

That's what 1300hp looks like

Damn they can move, but the smoke off them engines! The Earths temperature probably raises 0.1 degrees each time these trucks race.

It was wayyy worst before the speed traps. They got up to 240kph on the straights... madness.. Now if they go over 160kph, they have to serve a drive through. Also there are CO² sensors, if they go over the threshold it's another drive through.

FIA, PS4, XBOX, PC... too hard

 

[Arkoudadis]

Why dont they just give the license to Reiza? They would have better success with AMS 2 imo!

lol nope, its looks kinda simcade, not to mention lack of vr support

ams 2 got me covered

 

[G_B]

Ok for the console... but for PC the Truck category or DLC in Automobilista 2 are certainly better.

I don't wait this FIA game even if it have licences, i like more Euro Truck Simulator.
