La SCS Software, che sta già lavorando all'atteso Euro Truck Simulator 2, ci svela oggi il suo progetto segreto: si tratta del nuovo Scania Truck Driving Simulator, un simulatore di camion realizzato chiaramente in stretta collaborazione con la Scania.
The fact that we are working on another truck sim game in addition to ETS2 was one of the worst kept secrets. It was supposed to be under wraps until the very last moment, but such is the life of the games retail market. The publishing and distribution people need to work with retail chains to position any game in the development pipeline way ahead of release, and so the information and speculative release dates kept leaking left and right. So what is this game and why does it even exist when you could argue that we should focus 100% on Euro Truck Simulator 2?
The project is the result of a very productive dialogue we have started with the great guys at Scania CV AB. You could have read our grumbling repeatedly here on this blog about how difficult it is for the company our size to even get noticed by the big guys, be them truck and trailer manufacturers or logistics companies. The "serious" industry too often considers games as something controversial and unimportant anyway, and even marketing departments are usually too conservative and concentrated on traditional media to grasp the idea that the thousands and thousand of people playing truck sims are in fact the ideal audience that they could approach through our game.....
