are you tired of waiting for rig n roll

Spot on,
honestly some people just can't be bothered looking for an answer on their own. RNR will probably be released before ETS.

Really? That would be a pleasant surprise. SCS are aiming to release ETS somewhere around half 2008 (according to their site) so I'm guessing June or July. Seeing as the release date for RnR now is September 2008 I would expect ETS to be released first. And that's assuming that RnR actually does get released in September, and I'll have to see that before I believe it.

And then there's also the question of availability concerning RnR. I don't know if this has been mentioned, but will RnR be available for online purchase, the way SCS games are? If not, you first have to find a store that has RnR in stock and since 1C aren't a huge company I'm thinking RnR won't be on the shelves in every game store in every country.

I think the easy online purchase option of the SCS is an important reason for their success. Of course, those games are a lot smaller in size than RnR will be. I can imagine that downloading a game of several gigabytes isn't an option for some people.

ETS is going to be a load of gash just like all the 18wos titles. RnR should be amazing.

You're probably right, although I must say that the screenshots on the ETS site look really good. Physics wise and gameplay wise I doubt anything has changed, though. BUT... at least with SCS you can be sure that they release their stuff. And unfortunately there are virtually no other truck sims at all so SCS kind of have a monopoly there.

If RnR ever does get released AND it's as good as we all hope it is, then I doubt anyone would bother with SCS truck games anymore. We'll have to wait until RnR is released, though.

I have to say that currently I'm more looking forward to ETS than RnR simply because I don't believe that RnR will get released this year. I don't care what anyone says, they've been postponing the release for years on end now. Like I said before: I'll believe it when I see it.

yeah true

That is the problem with announcing games too early. People get excited about it, but do not want to wait longer than about 3 months for it to be released.

I don't really think the problem is that people don't want to wait. It's just that in this case many people have been waiting for so long now - we're not talking about a couple of months here but about YEARS - and have been disappointed time and time again every time the predicted release date was postponed by months, that they are beginning to lose their patience and trust in the developers. And rightfully so if you ask me.

Yeah, I was talking about the really impatient people.
