És tényleg licenszelt kamionok lesznek.
I was in Prague in a business trip 10 days ago. The trip was more exciting than other ones I had before. I have had possibilty to meet with Pavel Sebor in his company - SCS Software - in centre of Prague on Jana Masaryka street.
I think I was one of the few who seeing live Euro Truck Simulator and 18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul in action in their producer headquarter before release. Pavel and Viktor explain me how Euro Truck Simulator is created and showed me major changes in comparison with preceding 18 Wheels of Steel series. I must say that the game looks very nice even though it is still in preparation. New generation of Prism3D engine is used, with a lot of improvements and total overwrites of several areas. The objects and trucks are more smoothed and have more details, the roads more or less is based on real european road network. The biggest western countries will be have 2 or 3 cities in game, the others only one city (Poland, Czech for example). Russian was not available in game - maybe it will be in next sequel (the same as my city Cracow in Poland).
The main futures are:
DirectX 9.0c compatibilty
better compatibility and utilization of graphics card
large enhancement in tree rendering
enhanced the truck driving simulation
real looking interiors of European trucks - especially dashboard
many kind of European AI cards on the road
traffic system is much improved from 18 Wheels of Steel series
dashboard and internal HUD has more details
gas stations, truckstops, repair stations reflect European standards
some name/mark of trucks and cars are changed due to copyright (licences!)
The second game, 18 Wheels of Steel: American Long Haul is more based on prevoius game called Haulin'. The game areas is expanded to Mexico now. Some existing Haulin' road system/environment was changes to reflect your wishes. It was polished over 3 months.
The good news 18 WoS American Long Haul is close to finished and "gold" status can be reached to the end of this month. The game can be released even this year! The official site will be probably ready in couple of weeks.
