Thank you for the honest review! You have saved me buying it! Will just have to wait until this pandemic is over and buy a pc to fill my simulator needs.
Was indeed hoping to finally be able to play a truck simulator on console, turns out I still won't. Thanks for saving me the money I would've spent on this.
Absolutely crushed when I picked this up yesterday on PS4. Absolute half baked effort and a shame. I now own on the road and truck driver and both unplayable. 🤦🏻♂️
@@IceMedic on par with truck driver I’d say. Traffic and city’s are awful on the road. Each game has features that are unique but doesn’t make either worthy of anyone’s time
@@rusticgeek9400 Oof. I got 8 hours into Truck Driver before I got a game breaking glitch that somehow put me back at step one of the tutorial but with all of my current progress still...figured it was weird but whatever just do the tutorial again quick. Nope get to the objective that wants you to pick up the trailer and there's no trailer because I'd already done that mission. Messaged devs on fb about it...this was like two weeks after launch. Never heard back.
I must say that gameplay itself is fun, if you're looking for a game with a big map and care more for driving than anything else. I must agree though that this game has a lot of problems that already got reported to the studio. I know that because I wrote several mails to them and they said that a lot of people already reported the problems. The AI sucks, the game has bugs, the button mapping could be better and it could look better but I could ignore the looks if it would work the way it should. Right now it's the best option we have but I really hope that they're fixing all those problems to make it at least a bit better.
@@billygames7107 I was excited for the manual transmission in that game but it was garbage when I finally bought a manual truck. It seems to exclusively function as a top speed limiter and nothing more.
Not sure - but I've been meaning to revisit this one for a video, so maybe this weekend I'll give it a go and post an update. Thanks fir the info! - Chris
You have restored my faith in humanity my friend! I have this game on ps4 and i agree with this review entirely, its trash! But i joined a ps4 community where i happened to slag tthe game off and i couldn't believe that people actually defended it, as if they thought it was good. I was outnumbered and banned and left feeling like i was living in some dystopian future where people are just mindless consumers who not only dont recognise theyve paid for garbage, but defend it to the hilt... So cheers for that! Subbed
Unless it gets manual transmission mode with shifter support I won’t touch it. I have a ps5 waiting for a trucking sim. I play ats on pc and I’m spoiled with the shifting. I’m hooked. Literally the ONLY game that lets you drive a truck with manual transmission on console is mudrunner. Console NEEDS a good trucking sim. This just isn’t it.
I was bored last week so gave this game a chance as it was cheap all I can say is thank god real truck driving is easier. Cabin textures are nice but generally the dynamics are way off the steering and acceleration are not as slow in the real thing. Also, despite being in a lorry real life roads rarely feel as small as they do in this sim could probably do with upscaling about 15-20%. All things told I think I'll stick to my real MAN TGX thanks...
@@billygames7107 yeah at least give the option, it's not looking good tho,if they wanted a good game they would have released it with better everything. I'm sick of buying betas.
@@allanallen1835 seriously. I bought a used pc and I’m playing American Truck Simulator. Check my page. I have a few videos of it and me using my rig. I also have a short video going over my setup. It’s addicting shifting gears and driving with all thrustmaster gear..I officially have a problem haha. Just got my Bono button box and trackir today. Working on setting them up now. SimLife!
Keep in mind that truck game like ETS2 have been around for a long time and company made truck games before and early ones werent the best, its good to have a console truck game and they will get there, it actually has some neat features that even games like ETS2/ATS should have. I mean i dont think we will see ETS or ATS on consoles so someone out there has said enough lets make a game from scratch, it will take time, look at ETS2 again, its still developed with this or that added fixed, expanded and such and look when it was released.
It is a shame that it is so poorly done. I was thinking of buying it but at 60 dollars change my mind. After seeing Euro truck two if on the road was for free I still would not get it
A couple of things that I wish the game had... 1- manual transmissions 2- better AI's 3- other view options 4- inverted axis for cameras on ps4. If you want to look left you have to move your analog right etc..
That's like recommending which foot to stab with a hot iron... If you really want a decent truck driving game, PC is the only place for a good time. You don't even need a powerful computer or laptop - anything half modern will do the job for Euro Truck Simulator 2, or if you want to drive on the wrong side of the road, American Truck Simulator. - Chris
It isn’t better then truck driver. The development team need to do a lot of bug fixes!. The traffic Ai is very bad, they don’t stop or slow down for you when you pu out on to the road, it’s like the Ai traffic just keeps moving in a spaced line that doesn’t give you enough space and time to pull out between the vehicles, also the game crash errors happen a lot and that is so frustrating because when you start up again you are out on the street or highway in the way of traffic that can or will hit you causing item damage you are hauling. And the bugs with trailer hookups and unhooks plus buying vehicles or trailers and selecting them to appear in the same city will jam them up and it’s hard to get in and move the trailers out of the way. So this game needs lots of bugs that the developers need to fix to make this a better game to relax and have fun playing
So how come no footage of the console? The side mirrors do not work on the console versions at all but all your footage shows them working. Did you actually play the console version or is this just the PC version?
I wish I saw this video before I bought it. Damn PSN store. It’s genuinely a broken game. And I’ve bought it. Makes Del Boys one legged turkeys a steal.
I bought this yesterday as I tried truck driver and didn't like it... I quite like this game, I've come across a couple issues, one of which is the EU driving card, I've had to open the secondary menu, press card in/out, the come out of that menu to see the result, you have to do this for every EU card option in that menu. The mirrors are turned off and when you turn them on you lose some frame rate. Other than that I'm enjoying it 🤷♂️ Would be nice to have more manufacturers but in time I hope it gets some updates with those along with added settings you can change for controls and graphics ect. Ideally I'd like ETS to come to ps4 but I don't think that will happen, I can't afford a decent PC as the project In my garage doesn't allow it but if this game gets a few updates it should be worth the money imo. Using a thrustmaster t150 and it works well with the game. It's not the best game out there but for smoking a doob, putting on tunes and cruising about its ideal for me 🤷♂️ just don't expect to be blown away! 😂
I am trying to play this on ps5. It is sooo buggy. The lights just turn off all the time. The menu sometimes works, sometimes not. Hopefully the ps5 version will be better.
1 year on and its still a buggy mess every update that comes out for the Game breaks it in one way or another now with the recent update its turned into the sliding truck simulator ps4 its like driving on ice now when I play it
It's Aerosoft so that would immediately make me avoid it like the plague. That is a cash-grab company. ie: They put out Truck and Logistics Simulator almost 2 years ago on the Switch, it released for £40 and to this day there has not been even ONE patch and it's bugged to hall and seriously flawed. Scummy company
@2-bit Steve Well, what'd you expect, SCS software barely breaks even with the Truck Simulator games. This is a niche genre and there just isn't a large profit involved.
Do not buy this game until the development team fixes all the bugs. I have this game and some bugs were fixed but many more need fixing. Right now this game plays more worse then truck driver did with its bugs
Like fool i bought it today and i didnt even fet chance to play before it crashed i ask xbox for full refund these company who bring these un tested games should get in trouble with Microsoft .they making these shit games they full well they are not work before they release them and ut is starting to make me angry. I enjoy playing some of these simulator but this one takes the piss it is no way worth 24.99 thats joke it should be free the game is unplayable Microsoft should remove this game off store
I wished American truck simulator came out for consoles

Actually Truck Driver is not a bad game...at least now.
Can you shift gears/use a h shifter/manual transmission? I refuse to play any trucking game that’s only automatic.
@@billygames7107 I was excited for the manual transmission in that game but it was garbage when I finally bought a manual truck. It seems to exclusively function as a top speed limiter and nothing more.
Alaska truck sim is coming to ps4-ps5 January 2022 and I promise you it will be awesome
This game recently got a patch for ps5 and for what i have seen it is way better now regarding pop ups and graphic wise, is this true?

In Forza, LB acts as a clutch, then you press B or X to go up or down a gear. This would work well enough if the functions could be mapped that way.
@@billygames7107 Every truck is an automatic lol, unless it's an old American bucket
Help!! How connect Logitech g29 on ps5 on this game???
While this looks bad, the one question I have is this better than truck driver? I don't own pc so games like this are my only option thanks

Thanks mate, was gonna buy it coz it’s on sale.
I be holding back for now, I hope this will become a success to Truck Driver, but think I'll playing Truck Driver again, does look like s***.
