We are committed to shipping a finished and polished game above anything else, and while the decision to postpone ETS2 release wasn't easy, it is the right thing to do. There may be some negative reactions now to this delay, but think about what would happen if we shipped the game with major bugs - you would all go berserk bashing it and our reputation and business could be damaged beyond repair. It is really better to give you a game that's fun to play with no big issues. We need the game to succeed if SCS Software is to stay in business and keep on developing simulation games. Each step along the way matters.
At the moment, we think it will take an extra month of testing and tuning to get the game completed, possibly pushing the release date into September. But this is still our best guess, not a guarantee - the game is only done when it's done. We are only human, we do what we can to build the game according to the vision that we started with, and it's no small task for us for sure.
Thank you for your patience and continued loyalty - we are doing this for you.
Yours sincerely,
Pavel Sebor
CEO, SCS Software
PS: Perhaps these images may not stand a chance to compensate for the bad news, but here is a few shots from truck purchase process to cheer you up a bit:
I don't care with how many months you delay the game launch , all i want is to you guys to make a very good game , not perfect , becouse no game is perfect :D , but still , close to it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck SCS team !
+1, i do not mind,i want a perfect game regardless of release date.
Deletei need instalation password euro truck simulator 2 please give me the pass
DeletePassword: donkey
DeleteIt's okay, better quality than quantity :) keep making your business SCS - loyal member
ReplyDeleteThanks for yours great work !
ReplyDeleteI really appreciate the way you treat fans of yours simulator games. Thanks once again. Love you SCS ;)

ReplyDeleteOWWWWWW NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :(:(:( SCS team do not please :(
ReplyDeleteJust shut up.
Deleteif u want the best then you should be happy SCS is working so hard !!!!!
DeleteBad news :( :(
ReplyDeleteBut I'd rather play a finished, well-working, non-buggy game, than a rushed game which you can't even play without running into bugs and crashes every 15 minutes.
I hope everyone else also understands that this is not very bad news, and that you are doing this for us.
And for the once without patience, too bad, as you grow older you will learn to wait for certain things, cause that's how life is.
You simply can't have it when YOU want it, you'll get it when it's done!
P.S. Very nice pictures SCS, really like the Actros Megaspace!
Greetings, Nick.
I thought this would happen but I mean you guys are to be congratulated for not making a game fast and full of bugs, and great game scs keep great work! greetings from brazil
ReplyDeletesorry my bad English I'm using google translation
It is bad news but on the other hand I can understand you guys :) But I do hope we can make it in September.
ReplyDeleteTry to update STDS then quicker so we can keep ourselves busy ;)
Ist okay guys.. I only want the game to be with no bugs ! :)
ReplyDeleteBut can u at least make all these systems ?
http://accessscience.com/loadBinary.aspx?filename=712400FG0010.gif
I could be cool if we could learn to drive with those systems in the game...
Please keep up the good work. No matter how long it takes.This will be one the best Trucksimulations ever.SCS the BEST!
ReplyDeleteOh and BTW, don't mind all the negative comments SCS ;)
ReplyDeleteThey are just childish people with nothing else to do but to come here and start flame wars.
Also for the real SCS fans here, don't respond to these flamers because you will just do what they want: giving them attention!
So just ignore them..
Greetings, Nick.
I rather wait a couple more months to have a completely finished game than have it with major bugs.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the detailing about the specs of the trucks as shown with gearbox.
I wish you the best road for developing ETS2 and i'm sure it will surprise everyone.
Good work on it SCS!
I think for the SCS it just wasn't economically useful to release the ETS2 so close to the STDS. That's all.
ReplyDeletewhen i saw new truck shop and unlockables from level, i just Achujel :DD. keep up. i dont care the release date. i only care about the quality of game. and please make back wheel tunable.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you my friend.You are right.
DeleteMitsos from Greece.
*sighs*
ReplyDeleteOkay, I guess. Put your full focus into de bugging. The game is done, it's bug fixing time.
Omg september starts 3 yeard of w8ing, gg i ll get married and still w8ing for ETS2!
ReplyDeletePlease make driving model more like in ETS, so wheel returns to straight position. Without driving wheel it's hard to steer.
ReplyDeleteI'll wait paitiently for game release.
Please don't...
DeleteWith a keyboard it's very hard to keep a certain angle while maneuvering...In STDS I like the ability to come to a stop and set my steering angle and THEN accelerate while being able to keep that angle with minimal amounts of hits on the keys...if you do what HE/SHE says it'll be impossible to do fine maneuvering...
Please, think a little about what it is you're asking for, you'll be steering right into walls unless you keep the key pressed for an X amount of seconds before accelerating and then you'll have to keep forcing on that key durring the whole turn and still...you'll probably end up either veering off totaly or hitting the wall :/
if you cannot afford a wheel at the moment like me drive with a mouse!! its easy!! =)
DeleteDid that with GTS...had to to avoid that glitch where your imput gets multiplied every few sec
DeleteBut I much prefer keeping the mouse only to look around with, that way I can check the right side mirror. (look right key kinda works too, but it's a bit disorienting imo)
I simply just cannot understand why people steer with the keys! :P
DeleteSteering with mouse is so much funnier and easier. By the way you can look around with mouse steering too. Just hold Alt.
Try that while turning :P
DeletePS: Try with the keys in STDS, it's so smooth now, only a few minor hits while at higher speeds, but maybe they'll fix it for ETS2.
I agree with Ziland, the keyboard steering in STDS is fantastic!
DeleteDont forget to correct the steering a little bit. Im using my steering wheel and above 40km/h its horrible to steer it to "nervous"
ReplyDeleteThx : SnyperD
yes steering above 40km is horrible.i crash every time
Deletepaska from croatia
I it is very glad SCS :) :) So to hold ;) I love you SCS
ReplyDeleteThanks for your honesty. That is really the draw of being open about release estimates, it is unpopular when they are postponed ;).
ReplyDeleteThe pics look great, I am looking forward to exploring all the new and different features in ETS2.
Dear Pavel,
ReplyDeleteIt's of course a bad new for us 'casue we're really impatient but we appreciate you being sicere with your funs and remembere that we support in any time. Congratulations for the excellent job done 'til now, I think SCS fan community will be really thankful for this. We're still believin' in you and so don't worry just keep it going. Best regards.
Matthew from Rome
Yeah,
DeleteThank you SCS for making theses games to us! you are the best game developers.
hälsningar från Sverige
Agree!

ReplyDeleteI bought to me the new powerful computer to play big quality :) Intel core I7 and Nvidia GTX 690 :) I love you SCANIA TRUCK DRIVERING SIMULATOR AND EURO TRUCK SIMULATOR 2
ReplyDeleteNice to get such a response from a person like the CEO, nice informing and nice that we get a clear view in time. Don't worry about the delay, get the game done right the first time.
ReplyDeletePS: the trucknames are Majestic while the trucks themselves are actual MB.
I think they can't present the real names to us on pictures until they have the final agreement with the Mercedes and ofcourse with the other companys. If they can get the agreement, I'm sure there will be name Mercedes-Benz instead of Majetic.
DeleteAt this post,my heart say: Ohhh GOD,NOOOOO,why is this happening!?!?! And my brain say: It's sad news,but the game will have a better quality and will be worth waiting.
ReplyDeleteKEEP UP THE GOOD WORK SCS,make this game best simulator EVER! Sorry for my bad english.
It is extremely important indeed that all the bugs are sorted out before the simulator is released.
ReplyDeleteTherefore, I agree fully with your decision SCS Software team and I will patiently wait for the release of ETS2.
Keep up the outstanding work developers.
Hello SCS, we are patiently waiting for the release, it is really important to have a non-buggy working game ofcourse but dont forget that the more we wait higher our hopes and expectations gets ;) keep up the good work guys.
ReplyDeleteand i really like it if this gets answered, do you guys have a decided market prize now or its not determined yet ?
Wtff? :D I've been waiting for the release about a year now :D and I still have to wait? anyways :D what will be the price? :D
ReplyDeletenon vedo l'ora che esca ho visto dei video spettacolari fate con comodo l'importante che esca fuori un capolavoro come SCS sa fare
ReplyDeleteThis is the mentality game publishers need. Big publishers like EA and Activision, who publish buggy unfinished products can take an example out of this.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, can't be September fast enough :)
/ Wes
And they such a huge company, the games get more rushed and more low budget every year.
DeleteSCS on the other hand have a very high budget can barely afford to make a game this good, but somehow, they're doing it! :D
We could get an idea of what will be the launch of ETS2 in the great Scania TDS. Keep up the excellent work. You are great at what they do. And always turn out masterpieces.
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to wait for a game that will be the best. The evolution of his work is remarkable with each update made in this blog. Do not rush. The game will be a well cut diamond when released, to be a success.
Please keep the blog updated.
Greetings
I rather wait and get a better product than a half-finished one. Anyone calling themselves a fan of these simulator games will agree on that -- it is well worth the wait!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, SCS, and the final product will indeed be worth both the wait and the price. (c:
Yes we need new ACTROS!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo problem, just take the time that you (SCS Team) need. ;)
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the fact that SCS could release such a from the heart honest message on their Blog to their loyal fans. I am uplifted by the fact that SCS continuesly accept feedback from the fans and implement the ideas.
ReplyDeleteAs mentioned many times already the quality is No 1, also I would encourage flamers to think of another game development company out there that has their CEO post a open-hearted and clearly sympathetic message for everybody to see.
Keep up the good work, as mentioned previously if you could keep Scania Truck Driver updated this would keep us tied over I think.
Deff not EA!
DeletePrecisely my point :)
DeleteI personally don't mind waiting for another six months if that means the game experience will be on par with the visual quality we've seen so far.
ReplyDeleteIf recent game releases has taught me anything, is that I rarely go back to play a game once they've "fixed" it...take skyrim for example, I played it for about 350 hours while it was mostly unbalanced and buggy, and never returned to it after they fixed it, as that would be like rereading a book after they fixed the typos, its not like the book changed...but I'm still left with a meh feeling from that game, even if it was good enought to spend 350 hours on it.
It certainly must have been a hard decision (especially as it means even more budget than you probably expected in your bleak estimates), but I am sure it will be worth to wait some extra months. The continuing support just makes STDS even better, and I am pretty sure that the fixes you make for those game will also find their way into STDS during the extra time... Not to mention the nice effects of the extended closed beta period.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking this financial risk for us - I hope the sales will reflect how wise this decision was, if the quality of the game will be sufficing - but after STDS, I have no doubts it will be.
Keep up the great work!
Hey there :)
ReplyDeleteWell.. I am a little bit sad that the game will not be finished i august. :( But i am happy of fact that it's JUST one month :)
I hope all the best for you SCS! Keep the fantastic work! The pictures look very great! I hope i will see some more gameplays, and videos :)
Bartek, from Poland.
We All wait for ETS2 :D
It would be nice to because you are late with the game :-)
ReplyDeleterepay us with a multiplayer :)))))))
Please ..... aaaaa???? ;)
Please make 8x4 chassis !!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreetIngs
yes i miss that kind of monster machines and wide / long cargos too
DeleteWe are happy that you are not bunch of bastards and that you are communicating with us, thank you for your work SCS Team and good luck!
ReplyDeleteBaja002, Croatia
It doesn't matter for me when the release takes place, i have to wait 6 more months until i can buy my new computer! :'( my laptop will not run this game.
ReplyDeleteAnyway SCSSoftware, keep up the good work! I really respect that you show us all these screenshots, gameplays and information :) I've never seen such gameproducers that are so loyal to their fans.
Respect to you !
Hi scssoftware,
ReplyDeletei have a question. at the service stations, will the cars and trucks just pass the gas pump, or will they stop and fuelling up for about 15 - 20 seconds? i saw they did that in Scania TDS and that made me disappointed ..
please add that feuture i think it's important :)
Thank you SCSSoftware! Good luck in the future :)
Having to wait behind other cars or trucks for your turn to refuel? That does sound like a nice little immersive addition to the game, I love it :)
Delete+1
PS: it might not work for everyone though, so an Immersion/Realism option would be nice, that way we could turn on or off some of those features?
Yes exactly :)
DeleteThe possibility to turn that on/off would be wonderful. Some (or more like most) of the people want the simulator to be as close to a real truckers life as possible. But there's still some kids out there who are less patient, they don't want to stand in line for fuel for like 2 minutes.
They don't just pass without stopping after the patch.
Delete////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME ILLEGAL ON PIRATE BAY AND SUCH WEBBSITES! SCSSOFTWARE NEED THE MONEY FOR NEW GAMES IN THE FUTURE!! BUY THIS GAME WITH YOUR MONEY TO SHOW RESPECT FOR SCS FOR MAKING THIS FOR US. BUY IT AS A "THANK YOU"!!
THANKS FOR THE ATTENTION
------------------------------------------------
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
sorry for yelling but i don't think it's more than right to buy it. they deserve it for their hard work!!
What was that? Pirate bay? Thanks for the tip :P
DeleteIf you're in the UK, you can't access Piratebay. It's been banned.
DeleteOthers are available...
DeleteIts ok SCS :) Take your time, do it slowly and nice :) I prefer to wait longer and get good game then get it now with bugs, etc. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Nice trucks btw!!
Please dowlnoad link
ReplyDeleteCan we have range changes and splitter gearboxes with h gate support?
ReplyDeleteAnd while you're at it, don't do the same mistake as in GTS, higher number of gears on low powered trucks please, while powerful trucks are better with less gears, I mean they ARE more powerful.
DeleteAtm it feels like being punished for getting A class trucks, takes longer to get up in speed than B class because of the increased number of gears.
All trucks should be able to drive at 90+, its just a matter of how fast you get there IMHO.
awsome game
ReplyDeleteThank God! This is a sign, and it is because of two reasons that I am very happy:
ReplyDelete1st blog you have to understand that if you add as much as one day, like a year, is for the best game thus improving increasingly, and leaving the best for us, future players ETS 2.
2nd I have not bought a computer good for the game flow well...
How much hope as I await the release of ETS2, I'm watching videos on youtube STDS.
And sorry to all the blog about my English, I'm using Google Translator.

Pavel, any hope on seeing a Haulin 2 or at least an american patch for ETS2? That would be sweet cause you have a REALLY large following in the US market to(Haulin is still a fairly popular game...imagine if you made an updated one....I am no buissness expert but it would be good to pick up on the failures of Rig'n roll and make a super waulity american game like ETS2 dont you think? :)
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping that the extra month of development will include a fix for the distorted sound problem some of us are having with the latest game engine (in STDS... I assume the same problem will exist in ETS2?)
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work and Thank you SCS for your commitment.
ReplyDeleteYeah. It's great that you guys take some more time. At least we can see you're doing the best you can to do a really good game. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYeah well I am not happy to hear the news, however I do understand that, because i would hate for this game to be buggy. I hope it is optimized well, and everything is amazing! If so, then it's worth the wait. Don't rush if it means losing precious quality. At least we all know you are getting closer to the game release, day by day! And Scania Driving Sim will keep me busy in the meantime.
ReplyDeletedon't care how many delay. we waited rnr too 9years lol
ReplyDeleteonly problem is edit time empty memory limit.
just keep it up SCS. yours always makes better and better.
common on simuwelt date is 13. November 2012. scs we need real date of release
ReplyDeletewill you be able to change the chassis configuration of the truck after you bought it?
ReplyDeleteplease scs use outerra game engine in the next game when the engine get released. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8xHy-tpxOk&feature=related
ReplyDeleteThe best way of making us wait is to publish movies, screenshots and information on the game
ReplyDeleteI would rather wait & enjoy a better version of the game than get it early but not as good. I'm enjoying the Scania game that I bought so I can certainly wait a few extra weeks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us updated.
Seeing how STDS is so much improved on the older games, I approve of not rushing the job on ETS2. There are still a few minor problems in STDS which can usefully be worked on, but it looks promising for ETS2.
ReplyDeleteCan I say, yet again, please please please please please please fix the headlights!!!! Your headlights on high beam look like low (dipped) beam, seriously, this has been wrong with all of your games, on the older ones I could mod the lights myself but with STDS if I mod it, online play won't work. This may or may not be an issue with ETS2, of course...
I really don't like that you have to be level 20 to buy Actros... In real life you can buy anything anytime, isn't that right? You just need money to buy, not "stupid" points and levels... Thats my opinion of that. But still, you are making one goddamn god game. Keep it up, we are still hoping on earlier release than November! :)
ReplyDeletegreets
I do agree that level should not limit trucks or items -- if you have the money you can get it. Cargo and "missions", absolutely, as the level is your reputation, of sorts.
DeleteJust my thoughts, any way. (c:
It's nice to hear that someone else has the same opinion :)
Deletegreets
Greetings to you too. (c:
DeleteI think anyone who really cares are willing to wait and also give little feedback like this to help improve the finished product.
In general I doubt any more big ideas will be put in, it takes time to simply bugtest such a large game, but this should be fairly easy to implement, I believe.
As you can see we are giving them a feedback for a long time, they obey some of our complains/wishes, some not. But that's still better than other developers. And I agree with you, there won't be any changes. I had in my mind last week, that it will be hard to release that game in August, because summer is here, and vacations are here so I wasn't surprised when I saw they changed the release date :)
Deletegreets
I agree, levels are annoying. Maybe have rewards for moving up levels.
Delete@Mark: you think like getting more and more € of bonus for reaching each level?
Deletegreets
Today i just got my Scania TDS and it is the best truck sim i had ever played and if that sim was made by the "small" team at SCS i cannot imagine how awsome ETS2 will be. I dont mind how long it takes because i know it will be the best and i also think EA should learn from you.
ReplyDeletevery pleased customer from Slovenia.
PS: please add Slovenia in ETS2 :D
I agree it would be good to add Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia, etc on the map :)
Deletegreets
Se strinjam! :)
lp
dear Pavel Sebor,
ReplyDeleteyou need more time for a perfect game. I hope so that the A18 Route in Poland will be include on the polish map.
The delay i don't think is such big issue.But, would be nice to do some extra patches to the Austrian Truck Sim , u know what I mean, some extra roads,prefabs etc.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand those impatient people in every single game publishing. Same people creates huge hype around the game, then play it for two days and that's it. I'm only happy to hear about this delay, so the game will be better when published. Right now I'm driving real truck and at autumn when school starts I start to play Scania Truck Driving Simulator with wheel and trackir. There's also four more games in "to-be-played-through" list, so no dull moments ahead. Keep up the good work :)
ReplyDeleteIn September 29th I hope to celebrate my birthday with a nice surprise by the team scs. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to wait but thanks to SCANIA Truck Driving Simulator our wait will be more bearable, I am really enjoying it these days. :-)
I take my post to congratulate you for your wonderful work.
Ok, there are still some details to improve but I think you're in the right direction.
Each new your project makes great steps forward, not only in graphics performance but also in the overall gameplay.
Becomes more and more fun experience to play your titles.
So far you have done a great job.
Keep it up!
oh and one thing, I think player should be able to add his own company label pictures or even texts to trucks and maybe even trailers :)
ReplyDeleteWould indeed be neat to be able to have a slot or two where you can load graphics/add text and have it appear on the truck -- and possibly box trailers.
DeleteAgree with both!
DeleteI'm fine with the delay as long as I get some honest information.
ReplyDeleteDommage pour ce retard, mais je vous fait confiance.
ReplyDeleteNo problem SCS,we can wait!Just make the best game ever!Thank you and keep working!
ReplyDeleteSCS ihr seit nicht die eizigen firmen die lange bruchen um ein "Knaller-Spiel" zu bauen leider seit ihr seher wenige leute bei SCS und damit glaube ich auch das etwas länger dauern wird
ReplyDeleteAber Mit STDS habt ihr schon ein erflog bei mir
We're going to have a better game in September and a patch for STDS soon. I don't know if it helps to make it come out faster, but I'm sure it would be helpful for SCS if you'd translated literally a few words for the upcoming patch and voted the best translations of already existing ones, so you'd have new challenges in your language. And don't think someone else might have done already or will do translation, since we're not such a big fan community. Go to GetLocalization and check out your language. Thanks.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.getlocalization.com/ScaniaTruck/
Another apologies!!???Why you give us a date if you can't respect this????
ReplyDeleteI guess you have no idea how to work on something that has to be released or done on the date, but things don't get on like they should, so you need more time to do it! If you are so damn impatient go and make your own ETS2 and see it on your own!
Deletegreets
Like some people here, i'm dissapointed yet happy...better to release a finished game than a rushed one.
ReplyDeleteBut i'm a bit dissapointed by what i saw on screenshots (like some people here again)...The level lock seem to be a bit too much for me.
Don't get me wrong, i like that you have to raise level (i loved the "leaderboard" system of stds)... but level should maybe lock company's feature like in PTDM (where you could only hire a driver having your level max) or to upgrade your company (with more buildings or unlocking the possibility to choose the loads for the other drivers).
What would also be lovely (and i missed it in your previous game (after PTDM)) is the possibility to see your drivers on the road...
I remember looking around for my driver while taking a load to some point and i really miss this(aswell as CB radio(i used to love to answer the wrong thing to other drivers just to here their answer "you need some shut eye")).
And finally, after ETS2 , like a couple of people around here i hope, i wish you go do some US truck sims...
The support for H shifter, the better graphic engine, better physic engine are definitaly something US truck sim haven't got yet (even on older hits like haulin, Ptdm, Across america...(and don't tell me about RNR which is the worst game i have played(9years and still bugged to the bone))
Anyway, thanks for the heads up and keep up the great work!
US truck sim, yes, I am starving for one too. I hope they will return to US after ETS 2 -- while I like the EU rigs they lack the charm (yes, clunky and old) of the big US rigs, in my opinion.
DeleteTo see a US truck sim with the polish and graphics enginge of Scania TDS/ETS 2, mmhmm, that would be very nice indeed!
Also loved the CB, limited as it was! Was also nice to get a little honk on the horn when you met another trucker, but I suppose it was fewer truck about then...
Dobrý den Chci se zeptat. Bude Mercedes tedy ve hře, jelikož na kamionu je logo ale obchod je stále Majestic. Díky
ReplyDeleteI knew that this is going to happend. Good luck in development, SCS.
ReplyDeleteStill no optional spoilers for cabin ? I am a bit disappointed, but I still waiting for it :) and maybe bigger fuel tanks to.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work !
Take your time SCS I can wait for the game,
ReplyDeletebut a wish, if you have some time now, try to make some "new" stuff, perhaps a new street (whole E 35) or even city (Plzen) on the map, or one or two new ai vehicles (my dream BDF trucks).
Or something like that.
If you make some surprise for all your fans, I think nobody would be angry about the delay anymore!
Greetings from Frankfurt am Main
Hello, can you explain the system of Level when buying truck accessories?
ReplyDeletethank you
ps: Sorry for my English I use google translation
Would interest me too. I've never seen a dealer who's not selling his stuff cause my reputation isnt high enought. The only thing that matters is money even if you want to by a ferrari!
DeleteActually, no. Ferrari doesn't allow anyone to buy the Enzo. You have to have certain older models in your possession. And why is that you may ask? Well because even if you have the money, you can still be a down right peasant who doesn't understand the prestige of owning a Ferrari. They buy it just of the sake of buying it, so no. Money isn't everything.
Delete@Aditzu: Ferrari Enzo was limited edition (only 250cars were produced as much as I know), and we are talking about MB Actros, that is a serial model!
DeleteI was just giving an example. I kinda like the Actros, check the profile pic (lol) so I kinda praise it a lot (lol). Still, I think it's a good truck and it's too bad SCS didn't obtain license from Mercedes-Benz. Hope I cleared any doubts about my comment.
DeleteCheers.
i think most of us understand why the release date is set futher back so no problem there
ReplyDeletei was only wondering 1 thing is there a beta testing version for some of the players? (like me seen i'm e real life trucker) just asking tho
keep up the good work looking forward to the game!
It would be nice to have a OPEN beta.
DeleteNo, it wouldn't, since everyone just would download it to play. And since there are going to be bugs, they will say the game's rubbish, despite it's just beta. So they'd better create a form that you have to fill to become a part of beta-testing. And there people would write that they have real-life trucking experience and other stuff, that might be useful :)
DeleteIf the game is delayed, please consinder to add multiplayer.
ReplyDeleteTake your time, men. I wouldn't mind playing ETS2 in stage where it is now. It's awesome even it is not released. Keep it up, SCS!
ReplyDeleteWe could make a list of pre purchase to be an incentive to the scs team. Luciano, Rio de Janeiro - Brazil
ReplyDeleteSCS, I sincerely wish you to GO FUCK YOURSELVES AND THEN GO FUCKING BANKRUPT. I SWEAR I WILL NOT PAY A CENT FOR YOUR GAME AND I WILL CONVINCE EVERYONE I KNOW TO PIRATE IT WHEN IT'S FINALLY RELEASED !!!
ReplyDeleteThis is truly unacceptable. I have put up with all of your shit for so long in hope that ETS 2 will be great. But now it's over. The line was already crossed too many times and this time my patience has come to an end ! YOU SUCK !!! LICK MY BALLS, SCS SCUM !!!
If people remember, the last time SCS delayed the game, with just as much insolence and blatancy as they did yesterday, I predicted that they will do it again. And voila ! Just as I said a few months ago, if we allow SCS to disrespect our wishes and to wipe their asses with our demands, that will not be the last time they cross us. And time has proven me right. If a lot more people had protested back then, maybe they would have worked harder and the game would have been finished by now. But since everyone forgave them and acted as if SCS was doing us a favour by merely working on the game, as if they were doing it for free and they weren't demanding any kind of payment in order that we play it, they decided that once again they can use the fan community as toilet paper, and with most of us not even minding it !
You really stink SCS ... back in the day, when you first released ETS 1 I had a good opinion about you, but now I realize that you stink to the lowest depths of humanity ! If I ever find myself browsing for games in a shop and I see someone wanting to buy ETS 2 or any other game released by you, I will offer them myself a pirated copy of it, just so you get what you deserve for shitting on us, you stupid bastards !
And no, the excuse that you didn't have enough time doesn't stand. You could have used more people to work on ETS 2 and get it done instead of releasing Scania TDS first ...
Even if I know how much you suck I just can't believe that you're so insolent and so arrogant that you play with us like that and you delay us once more ... Under these circumstances I wouldn't be surprised if the game wasn't released at all in 2012
SUCK MY COCK, SCS BASTARDS !!!
Hehe how the hell you can be so angry??? Remember ETS2 is just a game NOT A LIFE.. But if you have been sitting in the basement of your romanian fosterhome for 3 years waiting, i can understand you just a little.. But time goes faster if you eat your oatmeal and give the world a smile.. Greetings BHJ Denmark..
DeleteI know it's just a game and I don't think it's more than that, but that doesn't mean I don't have the right to be angry. Of course I'm mad if some guys who expect me to pay them for using their product, treat me like crap and don't take me into consideration when I have a demand regarding that product.
DeleteNelutu if you prefer a shitty bugged game go play Agrar Simulator 2012 (the most bugged game ever).
DeleteAnd shut up.
Ignore him. Its just 1 month.
DeleteNelutu about you do everyone here a favor and turn that anger into a positive. Start making your own project and teach everyone how it's done?
DeleteAll that hate you're spouting around yourself is bound to come back to you.
Breaking something is always 10x easier than creating it...so get creating already, instead of taking the easy path that'll lead you nowhere in life.
Serious question, were you high as fuck when writing this?
DeleteIf not I sincerly hope you do not play any Blizzard games, you'd probably kill yourself.
I absolutely do not understand why some people get mad when a developer tries to make the game BETTER. I guess some people just simply like bad games.
Treat you like crap? Scs give us information all the time. We get screenshots, gameplay and info.
DeleteLook at RockstarGames for example. They have been working on GTA 5 for about 9 months. They have only showed 1 trailer. No more info. Scs keep us updated 3-4 times a week. And the reason it takes so long is because they are 5-7 persons, working on ETS2. RockstarGames are 500+.
I think you should more respect to such a small company like scs. Shut your damn mouth.
hahahaha
Deleteour gay is back!
this is the real or another imitator
just dont buy it .. or copy it as you said u would ... we dont care...simples
DeleteI'm sure he wasn't going to buy it even if it was released on time. Nelutu, you didn't payed a buck yet, so you don't have the right to be angry about it. I'm glad SCS is taking time to polish it the right way. From the videos I've seen and from the demo of STDS they invested a lot of money to record the sound of the truck and time to make it right. That's how it should be done. Good job SCS!
Delete"I'm sure he wasn't going to buy it even if it was released on time."
DeleteMy thought exactly. I'm sure Nelutu is the kind of shitbag who never pays for any game, music og program. Hopefully one of the people he offers a pirate copy to reports him to the police, one thing is downloading a pirate copy for "private use" (still illegal), going around in stores offering pirate copies to strangers is serious crime.
LOL! Angry kid who thinks we're all going to agree with him.
DeleteI'll make you watch a man being arrested for piracy for the whole extra month SCS has delayed the game, then when you get all pi**y and threaten me with a knife I'll shoot you and you'll be stuck in a mental asylum with hundreds of people saying sarcasticly " Oh no! 30 days longer to wait! I'm sure if I tell SCS my opinion on them and steal from them they'll release it sooner!
kid... youd don't even have a vagina.. so.. go to the edge of your room and cry
DeleteWell, I guess my vacation has been delayed a month or two.
ReplyDeleteI do not have any choice do I. Keep up the good work SCS..
I'll be waiting..
OMG wie oft wird denn noch das Release-Datum verschoben!? -.-
ReplyDeleteMacht mal weniger solcher scheiß Spiele wie T&T oder TDS-geldgeilheit³.Ich wette es kommt auch ned im November. -.-
Hello. i've a question. MAN trucks are present in ETS2??
ReplyDeleteSory my english, not so good.
Keep up the good work

I am not saying just the luck with this problem .. I'm ready to buy the game pre order so I just wait for calm after the game..
ReplyDeleteSorry for bad Englhis
SCS if you can show us some pictures with interior costumization, i saw only exterior costumization, a few pictures with interior costumization would be nice and ignore those haters and angry people, i can whait untill september, like you said i whant a good game not a buged game.
ReplyDeleteInterior customization was in one or two of their videos. There were two types of Actors' interior - Trend and other one. Probably that's just it about interior tuning - only a few ways it can look. Well. it doesn't matter that much.
DeleteBtw, I was thinking about the whole trucking thing around the game and that that with all the whining on not having enough updates on blog et cetera, we forgot that the game we're talking about is something special on the market and it's going to represent a part of romantic of trucker's life. So maybe we need real-life truckers to cheer us up with talks about how they love they job and how cool it is XD
NO! OMG, look at the latest pictures. There is truck costumization and to the right, the last, is interior costumization!!!!!!!!
DeleteYeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, I see. You know, I wouldn't mind if they're not going to show us this thing before the game's out. It would be a great surprise whatever this tuning means XD
DeleteActually, it's very bad news for me, but I'm still going to stay loyal towards you and wait even till Christmas. At least I'm going to relax from sitting in front of my PC.
ReplyDeleteTake your time and ignore the dumbfucks who said they will pirate it. The spoilt little children can cry all they want. And if a better game at the end is a result then so be it.
ReplyDeleteWho will pirate the game is a faggot.
ReplyDeleteTake your time SCS, we are sure that ETS2 will be a perfect product!
Greetings from Italy
Lol die beiden Vorposter sind Arschkriecher
ReplyDeleteNot bad, i cant buy the game in the moment anyways, and i will be happier about a working and good game than about a fast made crap game :) I'm happy you can afford this time, arent your publishers mad now? I hope not^^
ReplyDeleteBut BTW: Why is the Truck Dealer called Majestic Truck Dealer? Why not Mercedes? ;)
Being a developer myself, I realize the courage it needs to tell you costumers (or in your case the publishers) that you cannot uphold the schedule.
ReplyDeleteBut as you have said it right, releasing an unfinished product can start a deadly chain reaction.
Just take your time and finish the game to a degree to be proud of.
Best regards
I'm not dissapointed because I want it to be finished and with proper gameplay as you said. Work on physics! Good luck
ReplyDeleteAll SCS titles have a great replay value. I'm still driving ALH, and with Scania TDS, I've got plenty of entertainment to keep me patient for ETS2. Keep up the hard work. It will pay off in the end.
ReplyDeleteI echo what most loyal fans have said, release the game when you have finished it - simple ! I like all loyal fans will wait.
ReplyDeleteLook forward to when it's released :)
Well done Pavel for being so up front with news, good or bad :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for keeping us informed. Keep up the good work! I'll be patient in order to receive such a nice game!
ReplyDelete@EDWARD: LOOK MAN, this is interior costumization, that is were you change the side of the wheel and the class of luxury you want.
ReplyDelete1. were you change the wheel.
2. interior costumization, THIS I`VE NOT SEEN ANYWHERE! SCS please show some pictures. THX! http://imageshack.us/f/703/57518700.jpg/
Can you see Edward? There is a lot of interior tunig, i bet you didn`t see this :|.
Aaaah. I do now, thank you. Lol. It's good, yeah. Became sort of surprise.
DeleteSCS YOU SPELT EURO WRONG
ReplyDeleteThere is not any DAF on new photos. I hope that there will be DAF in the game.
ReplyDeleteOtherwise it looks beautiful. I'm looking forward.
Daf will definately be in the game. Watch some old videos, daf is everywhere.
Deleteoh no SCS, ETS2 can never be perfect because no game is perfect. The best thing to do is to release the patch as you did with the other games.
ReplyDeleteSounds fair to me.
ReplyDeleteWhat about realistic dealers, on the outskirts of citys?
Keep it up.
Its ok because even take a long time to make game like this and it takes time to make a perfect game.
ReplyDeleteSo don't worry I will buy the game and be happy I am playing the best simulator in the world.
PS: I was scared that we can't request anymore ideas for the game, but now your are delaying release which makes me happy that I can request more ideas that will make the game perfect.
Ok, I'll wait with no problem butplease SCS, make the game easy and playable even in not too recent system. Optimize everything you can because more light is a game to run and more people are happy to play...I don't want a game that is beautiful but slow, sincerly I prefer a game with a step behind graphic but a solid framerate of MINUMUM 30 fps. At this time, only ETS1 run stable, all the other games have framerate problem (expecially in the cities)!
ReplyDeleteThink about that guys :D
ONE QUESTION TO SCS. CAN WE USE A ROTATION LIGHT ON THAT MERCEDES IN LAST PICTURE?
ReplyDeleteWhat's that?
Deleterotation light is a beacon (that yellow "bulb" light(police has blue))
Deletegreets
A delay to this because ScS spent too many hours and people doing Scania ?
ReplyDeleteThe longer it is delayed the less likely i am to buy it .
I am already losing interest in it and looking at other games out around that time to buy
So you'd rather buy a buggy game then a complete product some time later. Why can't you buy it later? Let me guess, you will have spent all your allowance by that time? :(
DeleteThe only problem is everyone knows that even if it is delayed it will still be bugged . ScS you have never brought out a bugless game and by your own admissions you have a very small staff so a months delay will not make much difference at all to the game UNLESS you then decide to once again delay it even more , which could easily happen if you are ALREADY unsure whthere it will be ready in time
ReplyDeletehe said MAJOR bugs...not bugs.
Deletehe also said finished product...ie, they might still be building assets. As for them being unsure of it being ready in time, it's not like they're making a cake here. When making a game you're basically doing everything from the ground up for the first time, even if it is a sequel you're still working at a new scale of details. I can only imagine the pain it must be to not overtax the rendering pipeline and make the game hacky even on high end machines. These things take time to iron out is all am saying...sorry if this sounds condescending but it sounds as though you didn't know this.
You have to be a certain level to buy the trucks and accessories ? Seriously ?
ReplyDeleteWhat is the point of that crap . The only restriction should be whether you can afford them
TBH I don't really like this move either, it's like they're moving away from simulation to arcade.
Deletelevels are fine but only if its meant to represent something you're simulating. In this case I'm buggered if I know what it it they're trying to simulate.
Please SCS, scrap the level requirements for everything that doesn't have to do with the simulation of the trucker's experience increase.
There's logic in this. Isn't that obvious? In ETS1, GTS, UKTS and 18WoS we could use a money cheat in the console and buy trucks we need or want. Even if we wouldn't, there always was someone who would. After you tried everything, game becomes boring if you can't enjoy the driving itself. The level thing isn't realistic but at least it gives an intrigue for the ordinary player that's not interested in a trucking that much and takes game more like an arcade.
DeleteI agree with you Anonymous!
Delete@Edward: sure it's logic, but it isn't necessary! But in the ETS,GTS, UKTS we used cheats so we were able to drive the trucks we wanted, not cheap C class that was driving 75km/h with a trailer. I'd like to see that when you play the game for the 1st time you can choose if you will play by levels or not.
greets
I agree, it's pointless.
Delete@Edward: That's only a problem if you cheat, you can't really complain that cheating ruins your game, that goes without even saying. That's like a pirate complaining that game manufacturers are ruining games with DRM.
Delete@Joza: I've already touched on that issue and hope it'll be fixed for ETS2. Weaker trucks need more gears than strong ones, that's the whole idea behind gears anyways, to allow weaker engines to get up to higher speeds, whereas a stronger truck might allow you to skip gears to not waste valuable time shifting all day.
I personally think the levels are good. I used to play SCS truck games with my friend and levels are good for cometition, so there is somewhere to go, to be on a better level than my friend is. So who goes to the top fastest.
DeleteBut as I see, many of you don't like it very much, so maybe yes, player should be able to choose wheter they want the levels or not?
I personally give my support to levels!
@Anonymous: I didn't say I was against levels, only that I didn't like the fact that they're now going to level restrict us from higher quality content, I believe that the cash cost is enough.
DeleteIf I want to wait a little bit and save up some more to afford a better engine or gearbox sooner, I should be allowed to imho, without having to grind my way up in levels...that's all I'm really saying here.
You can lvl up by cheating too, in the .txt file from my document/GTS... you can change anything. Lvl, money...etc
DeleteThis means Edward, that the levels have another objective not an anti-cheat solution ;), i can lvl up from the .txt very easy.
How long does it take for the money from scania game "when bought in a store" to get to scs??? in a lot of countries the game is available from the 29.06 or 02.07 then the money from the game maybe in the hands of scs in August/September, and then they have to do the releaseproces like Scania game all over with ETS2, that takes time.. wait and see, the game is comming in january 2013
ReplyDeleteplease scs make a sequel for 18 wheels of steel ,and add 8 wheeled trucks in your games like in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR4blQf2WqI&feature=related
ReplyDeleteTake all the time you need SCS (-:
ReplyDeleteYou have won a vote to download the game instead of buying it.
ReplyDeleteI love these games and I will buy ETS2, even if it comes out in December!
ReplyDeleteJust keep going at it and make it worthy of the huge effort that's been put into it.
You're right: better later than low quality. Your brand reputation must prevail.
Good luck!
You won't eliminate all the bugs during this time. August, September, Decemeber or 2013, it doesn't matter because bugs are inevitable!
ReplyDeleteYou just keep trucking along until you have good product to put out on the market...
ReplyDeleteTime don´t matter to me, i will buy it anyway...

ReplyDeleteThis is getting really annoying, SCS. More delays. You wasted resources on making that Scania fail game, with such high demands in graphics that it barely runs on a decent system with GTS 450. I said before, if you fail the performance on ETS2 too, I will be looking elsewhere, because I don't care how good the game looks, it's not looking good at 10fps.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, I'm not going to buy a better card since I can run Crysis 2 at med-high settings, why would Scania need such requirements?
I hope this is the final delay and it's about optimizing the performance on this engine, because right now it sucks.
Have you thought that maybe your PC is S***.
ReplyDeleteHello. I'm in Turkey. September release, no way. We can play in 2013. Okeyto domengestos!
ReplyDeleteGood work SCS team
ReplyDeleteMonday, November 15, 2010
Starting today you are disagreeing; Expect up to the date of September 2012. Don't know how many times it was pending. But, know that you are bored with this ertelemelerden oyunseverler is no longer pending. August will be released in 2012 and again was to defer you ask. We no longer expect an adjournment on top of it more. 2 years passed. We do aim to force sabırlarını waiting oyunseverlerin? In this way, believe it or not you soğuyorum. You are so beautiful work. He would welcome every time we But this latest delay us from koparıyor. Pity is truly a shame.
