Updated: 28/11/09 RnR News Thread
 

I decided to make a thread where all user could find various new stuff about R'n'R, such as notifications about official R'n'R site updates, previews, reviews, new screens and other. here is fresh news about R'n'R:

1С announces its line-up for the upcoming Gamescom in Cologne, Germany, 20-23 August 2009. August 19 is a Business Only day, our booth will be opened for industry professionals and members of the press.

Our public stand will be located at booth B-50 in Hall-6 where the following titles will be available for hands-on.

As you could imagined, Rig'n'Roll will be shown here, so all those who have opportunity should go and make some videos for forum members :)

release date
 

hi guys,
i´m new here at 1C.
i´ve seen, that they changed the release date: Q1 2010
i can´t believe that....

Welcome aboard :). Release date was not changed. Russian version will be released in Russia and CIS countries on 27th November. In Driving Walkthrough video person from 1C announced that english version will be released in January 2010, and now they just updated 1cpublishing.com with this information, so there aren't any changes concerning release date :)

You can see the video here if you haven't yet:
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/52179.html

ok, thanks.
i´ve followed the postings in this forum here and have seen all vids, which are presented here :)
i´m also waiting for a few years that this game finally comes out :(
but if that what you said is true, then it´s all right^^

DaWolf do not worry, the game will be released in time (January 2010 is the most probable date). We will need some time to localize the version, that's why it will be released some time later than Russian version.

all right nike-it. i knew, that it will take a few month. i thought that they delayed the date of the release in russia :)
i´m curious to play the game finally.

could you say a list of languages? or it will only be translated to english?

Please ask all questions in "Questions to Igor" thread.

Maybe it would be good to do this thread. Wishes for the future Patches, datadisks .... and what players want. Softlab to know what players want astray in the dark and that it did not take another 100 years. This is horrible to wait for the game about 6 years old and not knowing if it is worth it to wait ........(((Therefore, I do not want to have better questions. Another issue would be delayed parody)))

That's a good idea, I think I'll make this kind of thread :)

2 New screens, that you might have not seen yet:

all made by kids no older than 20 and they look better than professional models from the developers at 1c and this game has taken over 6 years to make

Few little mistakes ain't big problem.

nooooooooooooooooooooo errors are no big deal games FLOP because of them,when you have errors in the game it does not make the developers look good especially when they flew to california took pictures of the trucks and drove around california
its pretty sad
ivan lives in british columbia canada
rowan lives in the netherlands
i live in nova scotia canada
we go off pictures we find on the internet to make these trucks not pictures from a trip we took when we went to another continent
look at forza,midnight club,test drive unlmited especially those games have mega detailed cars and environment their vehicles dont have BIG errors like these trucks and the games dont take as long,you can say bla bla thats because they have a bigger team than 30 people or so who cares honestly.tdu took like 2-3 years has better looking environments,cars ect

and if you kindly look at my post above now that i have added pictures of what i am talking about


plus our trucks have 3D interiors not dashes that are all textures that look funny

I don't think RnR will FLOP because of only those errors... Anyway we've gone way of topic, so let's get back to it.

Ok. Model doing a nice model. But in the game by SCS engine it looks ridiculous. Bad primitive game engine and rear physics. It behaves as antimatter in the game because stupid SCS engine. To save even modeled trucks and trailers.

Guys sorry that I have been ignoring you lately. The arrival of the new PR manager Sergey Babaev has caused some crazy stuff to happen. Good stuff but crazy.

Now finally after 8 years of waiting we get our own personal PR manager from Softlab-Nsk whose job is to make us happy. Umm LOL. Very nice but it would be nicer if this happened years ago ;-)

Anyway he asked me to do stuff at truckpol and I forgot to update you here. Sorry. You already have most of the new information in threads started by Freak of Nature.

I have Sergey Babaev on instant messenger and talk to him often. First of all he actually works in the Softlab-Nsk building and plays RnR every time it us updated, in other words often. Jealous LOL. He told me some things about what he saw. This game is going to be amazing. If he tells me anything else I will tell you.

One thing he said is YES DAMN IT it will finally come out in November 2009 make sure 100% of this. So stop even thinking about it. It is no longer an issue.

blog translation
 

Guys I will be the one translating part of this blog http://rignroll.taba.ru. I have just translated one of the articles there, and it will soon appear on the english version of the blog. Before then you can read it.

It is the translation of this article, impressions of Sergey Babaev about the steering wheel in RnR.
http://rignroll.taba.ru/blog/f/Blog/...ya_v_igre.html

Please look at the website above to see the pictures referred to here.

Here is the translation. Enjoy.


The use of the steering wheel in the game. Refuse to use the keyboard? Here is what to do.

Ok, enough! Enough playing using the keyboard, I thought to myself as I was replacing my keyboard yet again, this time from regular to ergonomic, from ergonomic to gaming, and so on. It is obvious what I should try next, a steering wheel, pedals, gearbox, the only thing not so obvious is which choice to make.

There were many wheels. There was a regular yet massive one called Defender Forsage Turbo (pic 1), A sporty one Dialog GW-23FB Gran Turismo 2 (pic 2), and even an uncomfortable one called Genius SpeedWheel RV FF (pic 3) whose gamepad got in the way of actual steering.

Then I looked at the logitech wheels, which are the best and easiest to use. No we are not partners with Logitech and I'm not advertising them, its just that most gamers seem to love their
products.

But even here the choice was hard. Logitech MOMO Racing Force Feedback (pic 4) and Logitech G25 Racing Force

Feedback Wheel.(pic 5). I chose the second one, and think that most people will agree with me.


Step 1: Getting ready to drive.

This was the second time I ever used a steering wheel, except in arcade games of course. Later I realised that I have no clue how to use the gearbox, and stood in neutral for 1 minute pressing on the gas pedal without moving. Oh well, the only way out is automatic transmission.

Then I chose the view, outside view to be exact. Of course its cool to look at your powerful 18 wheeled metal stallion, but its much more comfortable to drive from the driver's cabin view. Then I customized my view so that I can also see a good part of the truck itself from the driver's view.

So then I carefully pushed on the gas pedal, held the steering wheel with confidence and looked. All the gauges in the truck cabin began to move and the virtual steering wheel perfectly mimicked my physical movements, even the slightest vibrations. That is one of the things that really caught my eye, the synchronization of the physical and virtual steering wheels. You know how in some games we turn the wheel all the way, and the virtual wheel hardly moves at all, or we hardly touch the wheel at all, and the the virtual wheel rotates 90 degrees. But I am very happy to say that there was no such problem in Rig'n'Roll.

Second step: My first impressions

What I really enjoyed doing is turning the wheel as far as it can go and then letting it go until it returned to the default position, while watching the virtual wheel mimic this action perfectly. But here I repeat myself as I already said how well the virtual wheel responds to the physical one. Of course you first need to regulate the settings a little for this to be perfect.

Also you need to get used to each truck separately, because some trucks require less of a turn on the wheel than others to go around the same car when passing the car for example.

I tried the formula 1 like speed controls. I am not a big fan of this and feel that its uses in real life are limited, however it is very useful in the game. Imagine that you need to run away from the cops while carrying a heavy trailer and the fine if he catches you is very expensive, its then when this extra speed is very nice.

In summary, these are basically my impressions of using the steering wheel in Rig'n'Roll. Pretty, effective, realistic. My only problem was my constant want to use the keyboard, but I realize that some games are meant to be used with keyboards, while Rig'n'Roll is one of those which was meant to be used with a steering wheel, as in fact were the earlier games in the Dalnoboyshiki series.

Thats all you have to say to that? Redirect the statement to 18 Wos series and completely ignore what he said. evh5150vanhalen is right. RnR may have some new features that we have not seen in any truck simulator before but RnR has many errors and it does wreck games. Few little errors are a big deal, I bet even Soft-Lab NSK would say the same since they have taken this long just to make the game, and it seems they have run out of time, finally, to produce what they call the best trucking simulator ever. I bet if they had more time they would take it because they would know themselves that there truck models are out dated, and if they don't, they should open their eyes a little more and look around.

On another note, thanks Ubaku for the translation. Will Sergey Babaev produce any videos of RnR or only comment about this experiences?

I don't know yet. I can ask him.

I'm not going to write long litanys.... Trucks models in RnR looks very good detailed, and if they aren't perfectly accurate that's not a big tragedy. This is my opinion. That's it, end of disccusion. Now please stay ON TOPIC otherwise I will have to remove all off-topic posts. It's RnR News thread not RnR error or bug one. So please stay on topic. :)

Ubaku thanks for the translation. Hope to find more of them here soon :)

That would be good, cheers

have you tried haulin lately with the rig n roll map v5 driving though California sorta kinda puts you in the game

Yes I did. When I feel like playing 18Wos Haulin, I only play with this map, because default map is pretty boring...and repetitive.:)

agreed there i just downloaded xxXXXxx custom pete 359 and that is one heck of a truck id post the pic soon under i wanna see your truck thread.

Guys, where can I find that map? I can't find a download link?

RnR at Max 2009
 

Some good news: Rig'n'Roll will be shown ant "Max 2009" event from August 18 to August 23. Almost at the same time like gamescom ;). So we will get a lot of new videos and other new stuff from RnR from both events :) Don't forget that we will also receive 2 interviews from developers very soon :)

Ok. Trucks models, semi-trailers, maps. It is ok. Where to download physics? Where to download a new engine? This is a nice models, map, but not deliver, if physics is crap. This does not play ..... For me it does not make sense ...

Why don't you discuss this issue using private messaging? That's my last warning, if you don't stay on topic, I will remove all of topic replies. I ask you for the last time...

Rig'n'Roll preview apeared on gameland.ru few days ago. It has some new interesting details about game scenario:

Main hero Nikolai [Perepolov] arrives into the states to visit friend and associate - [dalnoboyshchika] on im Mathew [Tirson]. They soon kill American, the police cannot find and punish criminals, investigation ceases. To Nikolai one must very explain the reason of the loss of comrade, and at the same time try to achieve the successes in the familiar matter on the foreign land.

And about the game itself:

To the topical campaign it is removed the order of 20 hours. In this case it is assumed that the player will not be seriously, which is called, to build business, to develop its own automobile firm. More thorough game - “economic passage” - is limited by 80 hours. Here acts rule “if it did not have time, then lost”. Specifically, in the designated time it is necessary to have time to overcome all competitors and to make its company most profitable and most influential corporation in the American industry of freight traffic.

You can read whole preview in Russian here:
http://www.gameland.ru/pc/dalnobojsh...reviews/45853/

in English here:
http://66.196.80.202/babelfish/trans...ews%2f45853%2f

"Subjugation of America".
I have seen this before, and I guess it might be a mistranslation. If not, I think its an incredibly stupid subtitle that does not describe the game in any way.
"Conquest of America" would be better I guess.

It's because of the translator I used. Babelfish translator translates as Subjugation, while google translator translates as Conquest :)

Rig'n'Roll Hands-On impressions - an article about RnR after trying the game at gamescom 09. It's pretty short and nothing much is said.

~15 Min video of RnR appeared on youtube from Max 2009 exibition:

3dartpol website member Maxidyne went to gamescom and had a chanse to play RnR. Here are his thoughts about the game:

After a long but nice drive we (me and my mate) arrived at the GamesCom fair. Saw a lot of really nice stands with great games. But after searching for a while we finally found RnR stand. After waiting for almost a half hour, I finally got the change to play it. And I can say: this game is really worth waiting for!! The graphics are updated when you compare it with the old game trailers. The game is well worked out, you can trick out the trucks with a lot of accessories. Didn't had the change to play story mode. I played some sort of arcade mode. The steering is realistic compared to 18 wos games, the feel and handling of the trucks is really good. Too bad I only played it for like 10 min. or so. I had brought along my camera, but when I put the SD card in my card reader the pictures aren't really sharp. The problem was that I didn't set the camera to fluorescent lighting. It was still in sunny daylight mode. I will try to photoshop them and post the pics.

Hmm. Very interesting and valuable post from moderator 3Darpol. Thx for publication.

No this post is not 3dartpol's, but his website member's Maxidyne :)

I might be poorly expressed. My English is very poor. Maxidyne is 3dartpol forum moderator. I read his post there. But this is irrelevant. The essential thing is that it is uninterested person and such views are always from the heart. Such a view is useful uninterested players than all interviews and reviews, where the majority speak pretty bluntly, because it's almost paid advertising .....

Any news about Rig'n'Roll @ GamesCom? :)

No, but I think Nike-it will have some pictures, videos or other news about RnR when he returns from it ;)

Ok thanks, and nice promotion did you get here Freak, being an admin :)

Well I'm moderator not admin. I'll try to do my best not to let down Nike-it, who offered to become moderator, and you guys, as a result I have fresh and probably best news this week. It's taken from truckpol forum, all thanks goes to member "thebandit991". ;)

According to the community website, Igor Belago has already finished answering all the interview questions and on Monday (August 24th) the web team will be working on putting together the interview and adding screenshots into an organized/finished format which will be made available to us on several sources (official site, community site, etc.) In addition, it has been stated that there are certain objects in the game's environment that are destructible (some poles can be knocked down, while others cannot). The team will spend the next week capturing in-game video for a new trailer that will allow us to hear environmental sounds, engine sounds, and in-game music.

Great news! Sweet videos :].

The collision physics still looks a bit off sometimes (100 times better than in "King of the Road" though ;)), but the damage effecs are just amazing :shock:

Besides, love the HDR :mrgreen:

I cant wait, been wanting to hear what the trucks sounds are in this game for years now.

+1

Didn't they said that the colisions were fixed? I also remember they said this fair were the first time where the full game were exposed. So it's a bit weird, isn't it?

Hi Guys, just returned from GC. As promissed here are several pictures of R'n'R from our stand. Later will post two small videos.

Nice. TripleHead2Go system. I will eventually buy this system. Although not for the RnR, but it fits this support :)....
Nike-it: Is there a screenshot using a TripleHead2Go with interior cockpit view?? I would like to see.....

I have one, but not very good and it shows only part of the interior.

Proven
 

A total of 42 cities, there will be Las Vegas

Here are three videos that I made during GamesCom.
Not very good quality but still nice footage on Matrox TripleHead2Go system.
Enjoy!

Thanks Nike-it, they arn't to shabby. Game looks good but I have seen some minor errors

LOL using the P.I.T maneuver on a truck would demolish the copcar,there is nothing but spinning tires and the flap hangers which are made from thin aluminum back there

One more video of RnR from GC 09

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSAZ3WJd9QI

Thanks for videos ;) But I will be happy when I will play this beautiful, great, nice game. If it will be released in 1.9.2009 :grin: I still hope :grin:

It won't be released on September 1. Russian version will be released on 27th November, English will be released in January 2010. :)

I know it will be released in 27th November, but Russian? In Russian lang.? It´s not good because I don´t understand Russian language only English. That´s really bad. I hoped it will be also in English in 27 November.

Discussions concerning illegal issues are prohibited!

Don't panic, we'll get the English version in January ;). It just happens, that game is being developed by Russian company, so it's easier for them to produce Russian version first. When it's translated and polished for an international release, we'll get it :) I hope ;D

Rig'n'Roll official site has been updated. Sadly nothing new apeared. Only videos from Max and Gamescom wich links are already posted here.

One more video from gamescom 09: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=591wwj4wZhc

nice video Freak Of Nature thanks

3 New beautiful screens of the game. Rain ant evening looks great, lighting also:
http://dtf.ru/project/gallery_popup.php?id=1597&page=1

Those interiors in the video looks so sweet :D

Ah, and that rain shot... It really should silence all those "critics", complaining about outdated graphics :-P

the dashboards are still inaccurate, and low res textured. Not my cup of tea.

Beautiful three screens :)

Nope they are out of date for todays standards, try again.

I have one question. I have small chat with my friends on one slovak website and we have questions. On the second screen (from last posted screens from Freak Of Nature) you can see that truck´s lights are lighting, but trailer´s not. Will we can turn trailer´s lights on or not?

you have to use the right thread, to ask questions, drexit. look at the forum ;)
i think there is nothing special to say about the lightning, it´s not bad, but it isn´t so great, either.

I know but there are screens and I think that there I have to post the question ;)

in the first screen, the black strip shouldn't have rain dops.

Why shouldn't it ? I thinks it's not on the glass, glass is under it

The black strip is not transparent, so the rain drop is on the face you can't see. From the inner face it shouldn't have any distortion, or am I wrong?

Russian version of the interview has already been released, so english one should be out shortly ;)

to me it looks like the black strips is not a sticker on the windshield. but a separate part that goes on the top of the cabin (like this in chrome http://www.hino.com/parts/pic_85.jpg ), so the wet windhield is under it. What looks bad for me is that dash with buttons is one texture, and it has reflection on it so the butons look like in a photo.

yes the black part is the back side of the visor and the rain will get up there by the force of the find driving down the road

An interview was posted on the official RigNRoll webpage today. It is in Russian, so I am not sure if we have already seen this. Is it the one posted here before?

That would be a new interview

New Rignroll box cover has appeared on 1cpublishing.com looks great check it out :)

8 Minute RnR video from Igromir 2009

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8arlC2ezgw

Driver is really bad...

hm Nothing new I noticed. Bud damn it realy scares with these physics, sometimes it looks like it's worse than hard truck 2 ,but mayeb it's jus because he is driving with a keyboard.

No he was driving with steering wheel. I think someone tried to be funny and set the wheel on high sensitivity, maybe that's why the player drives like he's drunk all the time, because the wheel it too sensitive :)

Nice video, but u r right driver is really bad :)

I can't undertand how a truck can produce such amount of black smoke while moving at 3mph without a trailer atached.

In Europe it wouldn't be legall at all, hope in EEUU neither

Affortunatly, it seems to only occur in cut-scenes.

One more video from Igromir 09:

Cool, parts actually break off the truck.

Nice find pook, thanks!!

Is this videos from demo version or from official that will be in stores? I see only 13 models of trucks, no Mack, no Volvo, no International, no licensed names like Peterbilt (Hercules) or Kenworth(Titan). Cars starts jumping when you hit them. And physics doesen't look good. He can't make U-turn on 4 lanes. I can't imagine turning on wide intersection with trailer in this game.

Collision physics still not fixed... And no licences for some trucks like Mack etc.. :(
