We have been working hard on Arizona DLC for American Truck Simulator already for several weeks before we have shipped the initial release edition of the game. We are making great progress, but there is still al lot of content left to be finished. We don't have a release date to announce yet, but there should not be more than a couple of months of solid work ahead us, plus the final testing and polishing stage. Maybe we should try to use the Open Beta approach for Arizona, what do you think?
Anyway, we thought you may be happy to see a couple of screenshots as part of the confirmation that we are firmly committed to giving you Arizona soon...

for the open beta, sign me in...
ReplyDelete+1 Open Beta would be great at the same time ETS2 got an open beta so :)
DeleteSame here!
DeleteOne of the suggestions I made after ATS was released, was that it should have been an open beta. That would have helped to highlight the issues we all had with the cops and intersections. Perhaps the beta testers were all too polite.
DeleteYeah a system of open beta like ETS2 will be greate :)
DeleteNothing about ATS will ever be "great", not unless they scrap it, go back to the drawing board, and begin again...sadly even if they did, I'd never see it, but I doubt they will anyway.
DeleteThey are lazy and uninspired, and I don't believe the US map will ever be complete, because people will quickly tire of waiting for yet another costly, tiny map state.
I for one wouldn't pay for another state on this scale, and doubt I'll bother visiting Arizona when it's released (it will be automatically added on Steam, otherwise I wouldn't even bother downloading it)..I'm just bored with the game, haven't played it in about a fortnight, and only forced myself to reach the level where I could have top spec truck.
I can honestly say I've never become so bored with anything as quickly as I have with ATS..after about 4 hours I had to force myself to actually play it.
Whole ATS should be OPEN BETA !!!
Delete- When are you going to fix hovering ai cars on the freeways !?
- When are you going to fix raining in tunnel in Carson City !? ETS had this problem when it came out, you would of think by now you already know how to build map with proper tunnels !
You crammed a lot of assets in the cities, reduced the scale of the map making it look so ridiculous, mashed together a bunch of cities(especially California) and now we have bare roads, a joke for freeways instead of keeping the scale from ETS2 have more details on the freeways and more secondary roads with some details as well, as most of the drive is done there anyways, who spends time in the cities anyways. The desert roads in Nevada looks short and fails to show the vastness of it all. I can see some googled elements there like the "roller coaster road" or "endless straight road" but decided to place the road between two dunes of sand on sides instead of drawing more flat terrain to give it a feel of vast land...
Build more freeways, more side roads more job locations outside the cities on remote locations, maybe have some uncharted gravel roads to lead at those jobs...
If i want to drive around the city i can play GTA, anyway they make a far better job the you guys in designing cities...
I come to ATS/ETS for LONG HAUL cargo delivery NOT door to door package delivery !!! Even the truck/trailer models in the game reflect that !
"DLC"
ReplyDeleteAnyway who thinks this look like crap? By screenshot i can tell this is when I was in Africa with TSM Map
If there is still few months of work on it, would not make final judgments yet.
DeleteHelldix, it´s getting released this month :P
DeleteIt appears to me that they are saying at least a couple more months before an official release.
DeleteYou know what looks like crap? The ETS 2 base map without Promods...
DeleteWow so I guess we going to get the full usa in 3 years
DeleteWow so I guess we going to get the full usa in 3 years
Delete@Adamisch123 "We don't have a release date to announce yet, but there should not be more than a couple of months of solid work ahead us."
DeleteYou twats have not realized that scs is copying from modders ??? lol you are really some big nincompoops then. They have been doing for so long in ets and now they do it again for ats. Scs are to lazy for this century !
DeleteAnd for all you new goons out there that think scs going to finish us map, keep on dreaming morons, us map will never be finished by scs, they have yet to finish europe and they have been going at it for 8 years... Yeah thats right 8 YEARS !!!
DeleteSome of you don't understand how much time take to create a game. Personnaly i have be invited some times in UBISOFT to test some games like Assassin's creed. But i think you think the time to developped a game is between the last opus and th release of the game but NO. For the Assins creed franchise they have always 2 Games after the release in developpement so it take 5-8 years to develop a game. Here SCS have create ATS in 2 years It a big job so be respectfull...
Deletecreate or copy? Be more accurate...
Delete@Damien Leick
DeleteYou must be new to SCS games.I've played the game since the start, and made 100 % map. Basically the engine is the same as on their second release: 18 WoS: Across America, all they did was push it very little with every new game.
They removed major features years ago and never brought them back even tho the modding community went apeshit about it. "we always have the mod community" -say what? What is left of the actual modder community? A bunch of lego playing wannabes that never went trough the struggle of actually working on models. Name me one good model that has been made exclusively for ETS2! All the Scanias are based on Sh3yr0's old one he made for PttM, which is still state of the art. Most of the scratch modelers are long gone and all you guys get is recycled and stolen stuff. Thanks to SCS for their great support and help they gave to the modding community, eh? Seriously, I'm not a hater, I'm just disappointed to see no progress even after 12 Years of being part of the community, being part of the greatest time for their games. Nowadays the community is nothing compared to what people did years ago. But yeah, go ahead and call everyone a hater, even tho they just wanted something better.
Better job could be done if they copied everything from Long Haul and paste it here.
I'm sick of paying 20 - 30€ every 1 - 2 years and get nothing but a improved graphic engine. much rather have features, like actual air suspension, actual real container shipping, actual working double pivot points and so on, the list is quite long and of my list i made years ago the only thing i was able to remove from the list was tag axles. Well, thanks for that SCS, took you only 10 years to implement it since we first asked for it!
The only new feature is larger trailers, all else we already saw it in ETS 2. No new physics, no new UI design, no realistic crashes, no interaction with the world you're driving in. They could just done it as an expansion or DLC for ETS 2 and start developing a better game instead of a reskin of old game engine mechanics. I hope ETS 3 comes out, right now if you mod GTA V with some real-branded trucks and a scripted mod to emulate ATM would be a better experience that SCS showed me with these "game features".
you should find a different company to do business with
DeleteWhat about 389, SCS? I see daycab on second screenshot. News about w900 was posted week later after game release, but about 389 - zero information, just 1 screenshot, which was posted month ago. Unfair for Peterbilt fans.
ReplyDeleteThey are still waiting for lawyers to stop making money off people so licences can be signed
DeleteI think that daycab is a w900
Delete@Phil Thompson, sounds reasonable
Delete@Maffo, I don't think so. Zoom in picture - different from w900 hood, front fender, headlights and cabin shape.
If Peterbilt is smart they're not gonna license it until SCS fixes the stuff they messed up on the model. That being said though, I was hoping for some news on it as well.
DeleteWell, who knows what Paccar is thinking about? We could deliver a joint letter and hurry them :)
DeleteYou can see the KW emblem on it , its not a pete.
DeleteI want ARIZONA in the OPEN BETA!!! =O <3
ReplyDeleteA lot of great views SCS! And ofcouse, we all want to try the Arizona DLC in an open beta!
ReplyDeleteYou are the best!
I want the open beta :D
ReplyDeleteRoute 66 is comming!! Awsome!!
ReplyDeleteYes!!
DeleteI would love some open beta action lol. Can you tell us how many cities/towns you have put into this?
ReplyDeleteWho the heck cares about towns ??? Do you want city driving simulator or trucking simulator ???
DeleteSCS make long winding roads and large stretches of highway to drive on, I DONT CARE ABOUT CITIES !!!
Good news! Btw, still waiting for Peterbilt 389, Freightliner Cascadia and others. In addition, I really hope that you can get the license of Internatioal ProStar.
ReplyDeleteAnd yet again something that isn´t about ETS2, for crying out loud we want news about Euro Truck Simulator 2 and it´s future not about the Arizona DLC, which by the way looks exactly the same as the other parts of the map and no variations to it what so ever. I know that you guys posted a blog post about the Steam WS but that wasn´t much about ETS2 only which would be much nicer than seeing this all the time.
ReplyDeleteAnd for those guys that think I hate ATS then you are completely right as I do. It is a total copy paste with only the trucks and map changed nothing else
Do you try ATS yourself, mr.Evil Pants?
DeleteIts a beautefull game more intersting then ETS2.
You mean like the blog post that is less than 2 weeks old talking about the France DLC for ETS 2?
DeleteLook a little harder.
"the way looks exactly the same as the other parts of the map"
DeleteETS2 is all about that...
Fuck off ETS2 sucks in comparision to ATS.
DeleteThey are basicly the same, you retarded hater
DeleteETS 2 didn't start looking great until the scandinavia DLC was released. ETS 2 the BASE GAME is very plan. SCS software has come along way over time. I perfer for them to take there time and give us good glitch free content.
Deletehow much different did you expect ats to be? Also stop assuming you speak for the masses, that we all want and care about the same topics as you do. And to paulo freire of course it looks the same those 3 sates are mostly desert same for new mexico and utah.
Delete@Paulo Freire, no fucking shit they look the same. The 2 biggest countries in the map, excluding the DLC maps, is UK and Germany which both were PRE-BUILD. Do you fucking understand what it means? Both of them were made in the year 2009 and 2010 so no wonder they look basically the same as scs uses the same fucking assets in the map
Deletegreat game SCS.....keep up the good work!! 130hrs since release and rising :) the modders are keeping us going with there efforts so in my opinion im 100% happy with ATS.
DeleteIf you want to bitch about ETS2 then go bitch about it on the ETS2 blogs. Stay the hell off the ATS blog....
DeleteLook at all this dimwitted gooks here. Ats is same sh8t as ets2, add some assets crammed them all up on a smaller map and there you go, "new game". SCS has not done something "new" for almost a decade you klutz !
Deleteand you mike are not dimwitted for being here to complain, what a joke you are, you would complin about something in everything you do
Deletelarry girl if you are here for some creamy goodness just say so. Just tell me: Mike i really like giving a good polish to a nice big ass n8gger shlong its my dream ever since i was a little girl.
DeleteDont be shy to ask larry !
Keep up the good work! But hungarian paintjob please!! :) <3
ReplyDeleteHow many time you asked ? 150 ?
DeleteDo you stil think scs gives a fuck and gonna give it to you ?
It does look nice. However, it looks pretty much the same as California. I understand that's how the world is. I just can't wait until we get forests like in Washington state.
ReplyDelete5-6 years keep dreaming on
DeletePlease ban that sap, Poles are not that stupid, he's showing them in a bad light for way too long with his dumb comments.
DeleteTo be honest Akula is the smartest of them all here
DeleteIf those comments are indicators of smartness then Jesus Christ almighty what's dumb for you?!
DeleteThat dude keeps hatin' on literally everything, ok I get it he's disappointed, but damn! Stop acting like some drama queen, don't like it? So trow it away but stop whining, it's unmanly.
Shane Davis and i guess when you dress up like a little girl put on lipstick and stand at the corner of the street waiting to give bl8wj8bs for a pint of vodka is ???
DeleteIt would be so cool to have open Beta :D
ReplyDeleteI want ARIZONA in the OPEN BETA!!! (and the VLN xD)
ReplyDeleteYes I am for open beta testing
ReplyDeleteGreat texture! much more beautiful than I thought. However, instead of map expanding, I care more about my favorite trucks. How's the Peterbilt 389 licensing going? I can still drive on the all discoverd map with my favorite truck for moths even a year just like I do it in ETS2 with the new FH. anyway,we welcome all these new stuff.Just tell those Peterbilt bosses, give us the 389 or we fans will blow up their HQ. alright that's a joke~ :)
ReplyDeleteYes Iam for open beta testing peterbilt 389 scs
ReplyDeletePeterbilt 389 hypeeee
ReplyDeleteSo we are getting Arizona "soon" or in "couple of months", because those are two very, very different things?
ReplyDeleteTrue.
DeleteBetter to say a couple months and release soon than to say soon and release in a couple months.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteMore like a year tho.
DeleteI want an open beta. I want to see my home state, plus I'm tired of going back and forth between LA/Oxnard and Elko/Winnemucca.
ReplyDeleteOpen beta would be pretty cool, what about the peterbilt 379
ReplyDeleteCant wait for this free update
ReplyDeletewe need jobs with world of trucks!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it is true! And firms which will give jobs to us!
DeleteGreat news! Keep working hard SCS, it's appreciated!
ReplyDeleteOne good question ¿the map is changed to scale 1:19 or still is in the scale 1:34?
ReplyDeleteOPEN BETA TEST ITS VERY GOOD IDEA!!! I READY TO HELP YOU GUYS!
ReplyDeleteI say give it to the beta testers first. Let us go through it for the next month or so, after the Workshop update, weed out any major issues then go with the open beta plan.
ReplyDeleteMONTHS?! D:
ReplyDeleteYES, SCS, OPEN BETA. We MUST have a open-beta. Im so damn tired of driving back and fourth from Elko to San Francisco. The CA/NV base map is SO DAMN TINY. We are so damn bored of it now, that Mantrid already made a Coast-To-Coast mod! Open Beta will finally give us some detailed work to play with. And will increase our road trip time with a awesome map expansion and more small details to enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHa ha ha ha ha...you are a dreamer :)
DeleteNo shit it´s tiny. The scale is 1:21 km or 1:17 miles big
Deleteits actually 1:34 scale. Its bloody tiny. I had to download a mod called Coast to Coast to give me a reasonable drive.
DeleteCouple of months !!!!!!!!! geeeeeeeeez !
ReplyDeleteIf SCS say a couple of months "plus the final testing and polishing stage", then I'd give it 6 months minimum, and possibly a full year after this crap was released a month ago.
DeleteWe are talking SCS Software here...slower than molasses at -40 degrees, then not worth the wait when you do get their product.
Splitting teams into alot of works that need 3 years to be partially completed, meanwhile selling junk and play it "we poor we small pls gib"
DeleteDoes anyone know how much they've actually made from ETS2.?
DeleteThey certainly haven't been reinvesting much of it into the SCS future...maybe they're actually hoping a huge games company comes along and makes them an offer for SCS which will allow the bosses to retire, and their workforce will be kept on as part of the deal.
@Art Goggles, they made approximately 29 million from that game and counting but you gotta keep a notice that over 60 people work for them FULL TIME so there will be payouts to the monthly salary for approximately 40 to 50k euros which is 3 million a month. By this I´m saying they are loosing money more than earning...
DeleteAdamisch you suck at math dude or just have no ideea about czech salaries ? How much do you think a scs coder get ?
DeleteEven after you add all the taxes that they have to pay they have yet to reach 3mil/year yeah 3mil/yeah not month... Maybe 3 mil if scs CEO gets salary and bonus 1 mil yeah maybe, but for sure not 3mil/month..
And dont you worry about scs, they are making plenty of money dude, what do yo think they are charity ? Even charities skim off the top ;)
@Mike well I just made an theory it wasn´t typed in stone. Also, no I don´t know the czech salaries as I don´t even live there :P
DeleteSCS: Slightly off-topic, but is there the ability to add an enhanced weather element to the game? I'm talking, wind storms (that actually affect driving), torrential downpours (lose traction), and even the chance of a tornado (in which the player would have to be vigilant). Thanks so far for a great game! I have no concern with time it takes to get things out as the detail thus far has been incredible.
ReplyDeleteno they don't even read
Delete"...detail thus far has been incredible" Dude from what sewage did you emerge from ?
DeleteSteamcloud?
ReplyDeleteSCS, "working hard"..?
ReplyDeleteI think not..!
I am happy, that SCS did not forget to add Hoover Dam. But could you please change the police car? Because they look different in Phoenix and in LA.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteThis is SCS we're talking about...it'll be the same police car from California to New Jersey, and from Florida to Alaska, if they ever get beyond Arizona with their crap game.
Deleteas you think so bad the company quit the blog and will look to do .

DeleteIf that's supposed to be the Hoover Dam, that's the wrong bridge. It looks like this: https://goo.gl/maps/JXk1ZJHkBxq
DeleteThat actually appears to be the Glenn Canyon at Lake Powell dam and bridge. https://goo.gl/maps/AraxMJvnfkM2
Great work SCS software, im looking forward to the Arizona DLC. Take you'lls time. Im loving the game so far
ReplyDeleteYou're one of these people who is easily pleased aren't you..!
DeleteA retardskov
DeleteOpen Beta please!
ReplyDeleteThe current content is too little to wait for another month of closed testing.
Nice to see the 389 sneaking in on the second picture (green daycab on the left)!
DeleteGreat to see some progress, but I seriously hope we don't need to pay for all but three states! The map even with the Arizona DLC is painfully small.
ReplyDeleteWhere is my Renault Range T for ETS2? Already I asked my godfather € 10 for Easter ... if you leave the dlc the south of France with Renault buy.
ReplyDeleteOpen Beta Please!!!! I like giving Feedback!!!!!
ReplyDeleteATS map size is to small……
ReplyDeleteKingman and Flagstaff, OMG
ReplyDeleteIm kinda worried. When the game was realised we all have been told that soon Arizona will be released as a free DLC. Now, a couple of months? Thats not soon. Soon is at least a month after the initial release. We dont have patient for Arizona, cause it would be great!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I love picture 5. Please, put some more pictures of Hoover Dam.
DeleteThat's actually the Glenn Canyon Dam at Lake Powell and the bridge. https://goo.gl/maps/AraxMJvnfkM2
DeleteWhat the hell do you understand under the term "months"
ReplyDeleteToday is 1st Mart, i just do not expect this to come out at September
My guess is next February.
Deletevolvoooooo hyyyypppe
ReplyDeleteCheck out the ATS Map Editor and pull up the content browser. And you will see Volvo stuff in there.
DeleteWHEN ?!?!?!?!?
ReplyDeleteIm worried ATS begun becoming the new Train Simulator 2016 :D
ReplyDeleteDLC's simulator
Same stupid boring desert. No need , same as nevada. Whole game sucks , you didn't even adapted it all ("Carry haul across whole europe !" in ATS long trip perk)
ReplyDeleteUsually when I want to take long drives, I just play ETS 2 again with Promods + RusMap. Or play ATS with the coast-to-coast mod.
DeleteThis is how Arizona looks like in reality you idiot... If you don't like it don't play.. it's simple
DeleteAkula please change avatar. Do you ashamed that you're Croatian?
DeleteAkula, I've never commented on this blog before but having read the comments on here once a week, in your case I was driven to respond: You obviously are a little bitter about something? Maybe you're recovering from being fiddled with by the family dog when u were a child? I've no idea what your drama is but it is OBVIOUSLY consuming your life. Mate, do yourself a favour, get a life, and stop being such a boring little b###ch. Get a grip you sad little man and find somewhere else to vent because you are BORING. Your inverted genitalia is not an excuse.
Deletenice work ! ;) ... be nice and do it ;) ...happy working guys
ReplyDeletetomorrow will be out first version MHAPro map for ATS .... you'll find it on my blog ... put in Google MHAPro map ... and you'll get blog on first place !
Deleteenjoy in playing
Cool, if your planning on making roads with Google Maps, I'll be downloading your map. ATS needs a lot of tweaks and hot fixes! Possibly ATS map expansion on MHAPro?
DeleteAny news about Volvo?
ReplyDeleteNo news, sir. But in the map editor's Content browser I see a Volvo sign model and a Volvo Dealership model. Try entering the Map Editor and pull up the content browser to see what I mean.
DeleteThis game is not as good as they presented it. In the previous game, you could purchase (expensive) upgrades for your truck that did nothing. It was annoying. New tires - Improves handling or has better wear characteristics? Nope, does nothing. New, fancier sleeping bunk for your rig - reduces sleeping time needed for your driver from 8hr to 7hr? Nope, does nothing. New aerodynamic side-skirts for your rig - Improves airflow and fuel economy? Nope, does nothing. New transmission for $10k - improves fuel economy or torque output? Does nothing.
ReplyDeleteOut of ALL the things you could buy, the engine was one of the only actual upgrades that did anything. Having all of the upgrades being purely cosmetic and inconsequential really hurt my enjoyment of the game. Does this game do that too?
Transmission does matter in both, they just have fewer options in ets2...
DeleteThe transmission does help ALOT. I get better fuel mileage with the the Eaton Fuller 18 speed than I did with the 13 and 10 speed. And then there's the ridiculous option of the Allison 6 speed automatic.
Deleteyay, Arizona is coming soon !!! I don't really mind if its open beta but whenever the DLC comes out I'll be sure to drive to Tucson. Btw is the 4 picture ( the one with the tall buildings and the sunset could that be Phoenix ? I do live in Arizona but I don't recognize that town right away.
ReplyDeleteFEW MONTHS??!?! ARE YOU FUCKING CRAZY??!?!
ReplyDeleteHoly fucking hell... -_-
You guys make the map so tiny, and you guys has alots of workers. STILL, i say again, STILL it takes SEVERAL MONTHS to complete a DLC that's probably gonna be useless!! You guys should be happy that this DLC is going to be for free, or else NOPE i wouldn't've bought it when it got released, just tellin' ya!
Open beta is a really good idea! I can't wait on Arizona and later on all USA :)
ReplyDeleteI have to admit you SCSS have completely forgoten about ETS2.. Which is 10 times more interesting than ATS, but .... your call...
ReplyDeletewhat about the France DLC?? And workshop? Thats not just for ATS.. And it is their call.. so why you bitching?
Deletegarrett starks why are you here, you knob ! Shouldnt you be somewhere else ?

ReplyDeletegr8 news, thx scs, can't wait for beta
ReplyDeleteI hope u guys put in ROUTE 66 . Number one American historical highway!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you SCS for the 411, keep up the good work and by the way a great game. The beta thing would be a good thing.
ReplyDeleteThank you scs. You all do a great job. Hope to see Arizona beta!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAmerican Truck Simulator - What Europeans THINK America looks like
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, ETS isn't on spot either...
DeleteI want the damn Clutch on keyboard and the animation of the airlines sistem!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, open beta please
ReplyDeleteOpen beta would be great for the fans of the game as the map as it stands now seems quite small.
ReplyDeleteOpen beta please :-)
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDelete*Edit
DeleteThat's nice but it's a bit sad you're recycling the buildings and you also seem to keep ignoring the very basic layout most american cities have, which is intersection with gas station in one corner, used cars dealership in the other, fast-food restaurant in the other and usually some kind of store or a supermarket in the last one.
Thanks for your effort SCS !!
ReplyDeleteThis news is slightly disturbing as the news was that this dlc would appear for free shortly after the games released. I am usually a great supporter of SCS and have patience, but I find this a little annoying, it seems that SCS rushed this game out to try and please everyone. Try and do better SCS
ReplyDeleteThey are tbh, the same as before. Rushing the games and not fixing all of the bugs
DeleteI like the climate of ATS :) Give us open beta and we are waiting for more DLC's :)
ReplyDeletehtc vive support please!!!!
ReplyDeletehtc vive support please!!!!

ReplyDeleteBETA PLS
ReplyDeleteBeta +1
ReplyDeleteI don't mine you guys taking your time on Arizona, you should make it just as good as the other two and not rush. The detail in the game is awesome. Good game
ReplyDeleteCare about DLC prices, fan hates those companies who only make cosmetic work on their products and make a lot of fancy publicity. Actually the game scale are toooo little and that makes the intercity highway really boring and out of detail, i think the game should improve that maybe making more areas of 1:3.
ReplyDeleteLack of truck, absolutly, plz SCS we only got 3!!
Lack of gameply, same, you only can go to gas and motel? I really like can have a soda and restore my driving time, or maybe take a hamburger, why not stop in the casino and play a in.game minigame or just pick up my own trailer from my own yard and bring it to load in diferents company and deliver in diferent points....much work to do SCS!! dont disapoint "US"... we alredy are on it, actually we got a PTTM in HD graphics but much little map
I'm perfectly fine with the scale. If you did 1:3, instead of taking 45 minutes to 1 hour to go from Eureka to Centro, it would take more like 6 hours.
DeleteThey should of at least keep the scale of ets2 map. I feel like im playing city driving simulator and not american truck simulator !
DeleteIt is the same scale of the ETS2 map. In ETS2 it took about 90 minutes to go from east to west. Since we only have two states in ATS, it seems smaller.
DeleteDude you must really be a big twat or something. You do realize that the driving distance is about the same in this 2 examples you given. A journey from debrecen to callais 1100 miles in ets2 1100 is simmilar as a journey jackpot to san diego 950 in ats, but it takes you about twice as long to cover it in ets2 the it takes you in ats not going past 55 in both games. This not to take in consideration that you can have a smooth ride on the higway in ets2 while in ats you have to go through 2 way lane, towns and traffic lights to get from one to the other.
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteYou really are a thicko Chakat Blackspots...in ETS2 one hour of game time outside of the cities takes 3 mins 7 secs...in ATS one hour of game time takes 1 min 45 secs...
DeleteIt doesn't seem smaller, it IS smaller, both the scale of the tiny map, and the speeded up timescale.
I can drive from San Diego to Hornbrook in 16 mins 30 secs with no load...you couldn't go far on the ETS2 map in that time even without a load.
COME ON!!!! Your advertising that we would get two new trucks and Arizona SHORTLY AFTER ATS RELEASE. A few months is not shortly after release.
ReplyDeleteA few months is like seconds in SCS time.!
DeleteHa ha ha there is SCS for you...
ReplyDeleteA couple of months eh...!? You have reduced the scale so much that driving in ATS is so ridiculous, now you are saying that you need a couple of months do finish Arizona after you took 2 years to make California and Nevada on this tiny scale??? So it is safe to say that you need more or less 6 months for 1 state... Once again proof right in my eyes that this game is nothing more then a DLC... a way to milk some more money from an old and obsolete engine that needed to be scrapped long time ago.
You need to get in with the time SCS and build a new trucking game on a new platform for the years to come !
But of course they are going to keep milking this shit for all they can, as long as all these sad losers on here keep heaping undeserved praise on them.
DeleteThey have already add new truks ( K W900 ). Developping a game is very very very hard work. For a first realease,the game is good. The probleme is you take ETS2 for model. But at release ETS2 was not more developped than ATS
DeleteI can only assume you're yet another shill Damien...we're all sick of hearing how "very very very hard work" it all is, and "SCS are just a small company"
DeleteThey've been doing this for long enough now to know what they're doing, and releasing a copy and paste of ETS2 as a "new" game is pathetic, and an insult to all of us who've supported them since the original ETS came out in 2008.
So they added a W900 which was promised at release...wow.!
They'll be unlikely to ever get licence for non PACCAR trucks...maybe Volvo if they're very very very lucky.
"For a first realease,the game is good" ..what bollocks. For a start it's NOT a "first release", it was released in 2012 under the title ETS2.
It's a poor quality, tiny mapped and reduced time scale version of ETS2 with some different scenery.
ETS2 - 1 game hour equals 3 min 7 secs real time
ATS - 1 game hour equals 1 min 45 secs real time
What a joke.!
Damien Leick im starting to suspect that you are a SCS pawn or lacky. Who are you trying to convince here about how "good" and "hardworking" SCS is, me or your self ?
DeleteATS is not a brand new game made from scratch its not even a rebooted version of ETS2, it is the same game on a "new" map that borrows assets from Scandinavia dlc. So dont go around talking about how hard and time consuming is to make a new game becaus it doesnt stick with ATS.
A new game, yes it is time consuming and thats why i am urging SCS to start making one, because i know its not an easy feat and more over this being SCS and being notorious for their slow productivity... i would love to be able to play a new trucking game from them in my life span...
Take a good look at both of this games ETS2(Scandinavia) and ATS and you will be amazed of the similarities... ATS is ETS2 version 1.22, yes you can not compare ETS2 v1.0 with ATS v1.0, logical, one was released more then 3 years ago while the other just came out this year. ATS should of been the next step, or at least that is what i was hoping for, and from there the disappointment.
One truck(with so few upgrades) its not much. Take a look at the modding community and the content they are releasing and the time it takes, and a lot of them are kids that have learned from watching tutorials on youtube, and then take a look at SCS "hard work".
The problem it is not only the amount of content that they are releasing but also the game it self, it is still the same game from a decade again, no new features, no new economy model, they are still using and old renderer and thus limit them self so much on what they can do. I realize that there is no real need of implementing dx12 at this time, but they have a hard time even implementing dx11 or dx10, and chances are they will never do it for this 2 games so that will leave us playing this games that can not be improved much for another 3 or 4 years...
SCS they should of learned from ETS2 and bring all to good parts over to ATS and leave the bad parts behind, but instead what did they do, they copied ETS2 used the assets from SCAndinavia, added a bit extra and crammed everything together on a tiny map, and to make it worst they striped it from some features that we already have in ETS2 aswell to make even worst.
WHERE ARE THE INTERIOR ACCESSORIES from ATS ??? They came last year for ETS2 as dlc, and we payed for it, it was only normal to do so, you can not expect the sales of ets2 from 2012 to pay for the game until now... but why are they not in ATS ? Or maybe SCS is waiting some time before they release it as a free update or even worst as a dlc again, and saying hey look we have new content for ATS. All of this and more should of been in ATS already, the map should of been at least double in size...
But like i said the biggest problem is the game it self, ATS should of been the next step for SCS to bring something new to the table to make me support their games for the years to come, but instead they where only able to copy/paste...
The Interior Accessories DLC should´ve been a free update instead of a freaking DLC. Damn these greedy cunts at SCS
DeleteI think we all love you help you out with testing and a public open beta
ReplyDeleteNo, we don't all love them...SCS are now becoming hated by many of us.!
DeleteSCs
ReplyDeleteyou need to make Another new american truck sim from scratch
MOST OF US ARE NOT HAPPY with this copy from ETS2
BECAUSE YOU NEVER LIST TO US
all of us never wanted a duplicate from ETS2
is your own fault for making this ETS2 duplicate plus you took 3 years to make this little 2 maps and you are saying that you got over 50+ workers for what to clean your Ass everyday wen you us the bathroom and now 5 to 6 months for Another little map SCS you shout let an older company take over you lost your touch
SCS
IS LIKE YOU ARE SELLING US A CAR Disguised As BRAND NEW CAR BUT UNDER THE HOOD IS A OLD AND BEAT UP ENGINE
Scs want to get rich while they still can. To make another game takes a lot of resources and time, more over when you have so lazy and incompetent staff.
DeleteSCS are selling us the same car for more then 10 years, but every 2 or 3 years they change the paint, put new tires and then sell it again as whole new car..
Don't take your opinion for a generality . Not everyone are not happy.
DeleteMost are disappointed at what we got after a wait of almost 3 years...not a new game.
DeleteEven if you're enjoying it, you can't claim it's new, but a poor copy and paste of ETS2
It is boring in the extreme, leaving you very quickly with nowhere to go. I've got 44 other drivers, all with top spec W900's, over $10 million in the bank, and can't buy another garage until the next tiny maped state is released in what will no doubt end up at least 6 months on SCS time.
The game is little more than a scam, a complete con, and if they'd released a free demo before the actual game, thousands of sales would have been lost.
I have ZERO respect for SCS as a company now.
I have a question ? When u finish this game ? If u will make one state in two months, simple calculation 2months for one state so = 2 * 52 states = 104 months = around 12 years ? Do You really want to make this game 12 years ? Some one will make the same game much faster and better...
ReplyDeleteThere is at last a positive aspect to ATS..it is a fantastic cure for insomnia...just play it for 10 minutes if you can't sleep, and you won't even make it to your bed...
ReplyDeleteOf course you'll feel a big sore having slept slumped over your steering wheel ;)
ATS isn´t good for insomnia, it littraly making it worse then curing it as IT IS SO FUCKING BORING. Go play some Amnezia then you can´t sleep for a while ";)"
DeleteAmnesia: The Dark Descent* Also here´s the link if you wanna buy it :3 http://store.steampowered.com/app/57300/?snr=1_5_9__205 Much better than ATS
DeleteLol, I'll go take a look at that :)

ReplyDeleteFree dlc? :D
ReplyDelete"We have been working hard..." You tend to over use the term "working hard" but i fail to see that hard work in both of your games...
ReplyDeleteMay i remind you that you took 1 year for each of those map dlc in ETS2, and Europe it is long way from being finished, and ATS doesnt look better even though is on a tiny scale compared to ETS2.
SCS it is time you put to rest prism3d and start from scratch on a new platform to bring trucking games in the present !
Make a real commitment on a brand new game on a brand new engine with a proper renderer and players will support you by buying dlc's for ATS/ETS2 until the new game comes out !
How many stats have USA 52 or somthing like that and paying 52 times for DLC´s to get full USA i dont think so i am not that stupid maby other peopel are and dont see hvat SCS do. ATS is not that good. I just hope ETS3 be good like ETS2 on hes time and still are. Hey SCS how about a Grafikk update for ETS2? or tandem, how about spania portugal and Ibiza map free update.
