As long as the initial sales are good (which is alien territory for a truck game) the game could continue to improve through patches, but of course the physics won't just transform (maybe sequels then). The thing I love most about it is the style of graphics. It looks like Japanese arcade game like Scud Racer, 18 Wheeler American Pro Trucker. or those Runabout games. I don't know how to describe it. It's more of a philosophy of how to look good. It's the clean look, rather than ultra realism with the latest lighting effects. I like the style even more than Big Mama Trucking and all those. There are huge differences obviously but I meant for example the 'comical' people and car models.

These types of graphics never required the newest graphics cards, but used big ramand sometimes multiple processors. If you want to play some of those Sega games, from 1995, on a home computer, Nvidia won't save you

I like the graphic style too. It is realistic, but done with unique style,bit like a painting style so whole look is not based on the various efects. King of the road had this too so when you get in to it still looks very good and realistic.

11.The graphics aparently arent that demanding on your gpu...nope.. you need 3gb ram+ ( i have 4gb ) and a heckuva powerfull cpu if not you will experience low fps in the 10-30 range.....

Optimization is absolutely awful. I ran it on c2d e6400 @3.2Ghz, 8800GTS 512, 3Gb ram and i had 10-30 fps. It was unplayable for me. So, i upgraded my cpu and ram to phenom 2 x4 945 3ghz and 4Gb ddr3 and unfortunately hardly anything has changed except with the new cpu loaded by around 50%. It is still unplayable.
