Rig 'n' Roll Vs. Kings of the Road.
 

I tried yesterday to play King of the Road. It's not a simulator. But I must say that the behavior of (physics, physics of semi-trailer, FFB, to some extent, better AI) is much better than the RNR.
How is this possible?? Softlab dismissed clever programmers employed and employ stupid people?? I do not understand how this can be worse.
Is it possible to return this physics, FFB............. to RNR???????? It would be 100% better the physics. Even artificial intelligence run better. Much cut sharply, brakes, but otherwise at certain stages of the run a lot better .....omg.

Yeah I think the same over and over:]

Maybe it's because it's a new engine and the didn't implament some things. Or maybe the spent so much time on the map that they didn't finish it. I hope so. SO Next patches or games would fix it.

King of the Road is a ******* classic. I don't get tired to play it all day long, it's just incredible...

But I must say... I've played RnR for two hours and got bored and tired...

That's the same with me. I always play classic games and never get boring, but with this new games, play 2hrs-boooooooooring. And i play it maybe 15 mins every month!!!

Agreed

Dunno never played KOTR but this game is growing on me by the day....;)

RnR vs Kings of the road
 

What is the difference of Gameplay between :

King of the road

and Rig n Roll
http://pcmedia.ign.com/pc/image/arti...59567_640w.jpg

Gameplay : the same
Handling truck Bugs : the same
Interface : the same.

How mush time in developpment ???

Gameplay: bit diferent, +Rnr has storyline , more of company managament.
Handling: same bugs and rnr is more arcade
Interface: Diferent. In RNR there is Black SHark device wich shows map, weather, loads,management of company, etc.

For me king of the road is better. Somehow seems deeper or I don't know why but provides better gamelay experiance.

For me,

I didn't see a truck game beating the 18 Wos series

If RnR had better truck physics, traffic lights, stop signs, pedestrians, CB interface, and the fatigue factor. It would easily surpass 18WoS.:cool:

LOL very true. But apparently SCS software is working on a new physics and graphics system for Euro Truck Simulator 2. I'm looking forward it :)
Frankly I'd be happy to just be able to play Rig N Roll for more than 5 minutes :P

Check out the SCS software facebook page for more info.

I never liked Euro Truck Sim. Maybe it's because most European trucks look the same to me. They are cab-over trucks for the most part, and I hate those types of trucks.:-P

Yeah, most of the trucks in Euro Truck Simulator are the same, unlike in Rig n Roll, where there are many different trucks. That is one of the best parts of the game.

Tell me you're joking. Rig'n'Roll is far more detailed than the 18 WoS series. Plus it wasn't created by a crappy developer that doesn't know how to do interchanges the right way.
Sure. The 18 WoS Series was more moddable. But it still lacks the detail of this game.

Details mean absolutely ZERO when the gameplay is as bad as RnR.

I'm not a trucker in real life but here is my gamer's point of view :

18Wos Haulin compared with RnR

1. 18Wos has multiple warehouses in cities.
2. 18Wos cities are less "Highway" cities.
3. Trailer handling and delivery contract are better in 18Wos.
4. Cars are driving faster than the truck in 18Wos
5. Managing your truck fleet is better in 18Wos
6. Tuning your truck is better in 18Wos.

.... I'll stop cause I can add several points (traffic lights, police system, CB system...) where my gaming experience tells me that 18Wos gives a lot more satisfaction than RnR.

PS : concerning the graphic details - 18Wos takes 340 Mo on your HD - RnR takes 8 Go on your HD ==> I won't tell what could be 18Wos if it was a 8Go game.
PPS : If you add that the point where RnR should be strong (the racing system) is also full of bugs (Example : you're third of four... then some miles after the system tells you : you're fourth of four.) then it's simple : a beautiful package with a big shit inside. It's still beautiful before you open it. And here it's more like "they took an old shit (King of the road), made a new 3D engine and the package was done" :D

Yep, and it took them six years to re-package.

I think both games are satisfying, depending on what you're looking for at that particular time. But this thread is called "RnR vs King of the Road". So could we please stay on topic. If you want to discuss another game Vs. Rig 'N' Roll, then please create a new thread.

just so you know 18 wos has epically failed at graphics played all of the 18 wos games

For it’s time 18WoS (American Long Haul) was a good game, and I thought, and still do like the graphics. An epic failure in graphics is a bit harsh. Maybe you just expect too much. At least it has traffic lights, and the trailer works properly, and you get to do all the things that a real trucker does. Like backing up your load, and parallel park. This is where RNR went wrong. You can also drive at a leisurely pace without a time limit.

I dont know ive never played king of the road constering i choud never find it in the store in the usa but for me i do like playing RNR when i had the chance and im hopeing this computer my dad gave me will run it but i use to drive a truck in real life and i must say between 18wos haulin and RNR id say RNR is 100% better than any of the scs games ever made sorry to brust anyone's bubble but thats how i feel

@USA Trucker,
I whoud have to kinda like maybe 20% agree with you USA Trucker but if i rember right now stop me if im wrong but dont truckers in real life timed? get hurry up and get there? kinda stuff "dad and i were truckers" im not trying to be rude but im just putting my 2 cents in i like to have timmed loads makes it more life like

Sure they are, but not like the game depicts. If you were a little late, say like an hour or two due to traffic or some other unforeseen reason your load would still be accepted, and you were not fined. I always had a cell phone back then, and always kept my client informed of my whereabouts, and ETA. I have never had a concrete unforgiving delivery time. I don’t believe I was ever more than one hour late for any delivery.

In the 80’s & 90’s, when I drove for 2 company’s, my instructions were usually “be there by the morning, afternoon or night”. Sometimes I would get a time, but it was something like “be there by around 9am”. Never a concrete time. I have seen a few habitual late drivers get fined, or dismissed, but this was rare, and those guys were as I said habitual late drivers.

I was usually early, because I didn’t want to wait for the other guy to unload his truck. Clients would never refuse a delivery, because it would cost them more money to not have a load, than to have one late. This is especially true for consumer retaled deliveries (supermarkets, drug stores, auto parts, electronics, etc).

well, I wouldn't say it would surpass the 18wos series, it came along way from the original. The other thing is better truck selection, and I really hate the views in this game, I want my in cab view back, where u can view the dashboard, or is that just a cabover thing?

Hello & welcome to the forum.:)

You can see the dashboard, and everywhere else inside the thruck. You're just not using the proper Keys.

SATrucker,

I don’t want to keep telling you these things, but this thread is for RIG ‘n’ ROLL in comparison with KING of the ROAD. Not 18 WoS or EURO. Pay attention to what a thread topic is, and what it discusses. ;)

Agreed
:)

To bad the developers jumped ship. This could have been a much better game if it were fixed up properly. :)

Good day

You mean that 1C will not have a sequal to the game?

That's bad....I Thought we will have an update or something.

I have made this comment more than once in the Patch's/Update section of this forum. Don't act so surprised. The developers jumped ship, shortly after the game was out, and made few, if at all patch's to the game. :eek:
