Nice will give it a try thanks!

Me and a mate downloaded it for a laugh, and we've actually been playing it for the last few hours having a right laugh! I know it's supposed to be taken seriously, but we're having a whale of a time haha!

It's a nice change of pace from shooting games all the time lol

Also this site seems good for mods http://www.ets2-mods.com/

I been using the Realistic physics mod and I I find it better then stock version.

Nice selection of cities, especially ones I've lived in. Will be interesting to see how realistically they've been represented. I also like the sound of the management aspect of the game.

Will definitely give this a go when I have time

The cities are very small playable area like London you would think it would be pretty big but in this game it's only a few roads.

The game has a map editor I think so maybe later modders can make it a bit bigger with extra roads like in ETS1.

I like the idea of this, but I dunno seems a little expensive to me.

GothicGhost · 21 Oct 2012 at 00:28

£14.99 from amazon not to bad.

I think the demo gives you everything you need to know if this your sort of game.

Omsi bus simulator is still the best for what it has

Traffic_Warden · 21 Oct 2012 at 00:39

Just tryed it, surprised how good the graphic are on this !

Shall play for a few hours and maybe buy it next week.

Ah that is a much better price indeed, thanks.

Mmm...

Drives rather well, much better than expected.

SkeeterUK · 21 Oct 2012 at 01:57

Had ETS 1 ages ago and thought it was canny but the lack of cities i know and not fully represented well ok not fully as that would be impossible but all the major roads in full would be nice so its semi realistic.

Gfx do look nice for the new one but i wonder what the cities will be like and how big they are and how accurate they are too. I dont wana drive in dumbed down roads and cities tbh.

Gimpymoo · 21 Oct 2012 at 02:01

To me, the cities look more "city" like than ETS1.

I really hope this gets a shout on Steam.

The mods could make it EPIC.

Coolasmoo · 21 Oct 2012 at 02:21

had a quick go of the demo and its not bad

Using auto gears and learning all the controls at the moment but its looking like it could be a laugh.

Cant reverse very well with a trailor, took me about 20mins to do the first objective

GothicGhost · 21 Oct 2012 at 06:54

Trying to reverse was hell the first time for me as well.

I am getting a bit faster each time now but some times I am like wtf going with the truck while trying to reverse it in a drop off lot.

I can't wait for extra traffic mod

Don't like using the keys to steer, I am wandering all over the place and its very jerky going around corners, my joystick appears in the menu but I don't seem to be able to use it to steer, perhaps its disabled in the demo

Traffic_Warden · 21 Oct 2012 at 10:18

Phil you will need to assign the keys from your joystick , I had to do it with my 360 controller.

Witcher1979 · 21 Oct 2012 at 10:35

These games are best played with a wheel though. I was using mine last night so they are not disabled.
