What Do You Think About Rig ‘n’ Roll?

[Gearjammer]

not judging the games nature I must say it's very good. It's acceptable graphics, acceptable physics and the game keeps me interested.

Have been running special mission for i dont know, "24 hours straight". Hired one driver and have lots of things to discover i feel.

Some glitches must be patched. Ai traffic behavior, CTD's and other technical stuff that's fubar.

If I compare to European Truck Sim / German Truck Sim - Rig n Roll wins by shutout.

I like the idea. Driving around all California. The basics are nice.

But then you get the time limits. I HATE them.
Then you get the Physics. When I tried to drive backwards with a trailer. It was like it was one solid piece with the truck. It didnt turn the way I wanted. I didnt turn at all!

Performance is awful! My computer isnt the best but still. I can run games like Dirt 2 and Farcry 2 at high setting with minor lag. But this. This doesnt have to render grass,trees, all kinds of other stuff. All you see most of the time is a empty road with 2 textures at each side. And I get a FPS of 10.
Where 101 and 80 meet. The FPS suddenly drops to 4.
The Russian version has been released a long time ago. But NOTHING is solved. Thats terrible.

Nice concept. But the many bugs and awfull performance (and maybe the racing idea) RUINS it.

If you've played hard truck 2 or hard truck you'd know that it's a racing game in a way. however take into account that the time limits are actually rather realistic. I mean do you think they're going to give a driver a month to go a trip that's only going to take 2 days? so think of it that way. as for the performance if you aren't meeting the minimum requirements, or had any doubts what so ever you shouldn't have bought the game. I experience some lag but nothing that interfere's with my driving and I've got an almost brand new computer. as for the physics I have to agree with you there they aren't the best but i can look over that. I wasn't impressed at first but I like it more and more every time I play it. so when you look at it if you had a better computer and looked over the physics and thought about it a little bit more you wouldn't be knocking it as much.

Ofcourse I dont have a computer thats ment for hardcore gaming. But still. When I play Farcry2 at high settings I get minor lag. And It has to render much things like Shadows of movies trees, moving grass, realistic fire, indirect lighting, and much other stuff. But in Rig'n'Roll I see most of the time nothing but a plain and empty texture with some bumps on it. On low settings.

When Im reading the minimum specs again im like! How could they ever say the minimum specs are NVIDIA 5700 and a pentium 4?!

FarCry 2, and other really cool high-graphic, and detailed games like Doom 3, Half-Life, Mass Effect 2, Star Craft 2, etc., are optimized better for performance. RnR isn't, and we all know that. Let's just see how, or if they correct it in a future patch.

I have my new pc and I was eager to play RNR on highest

So I start the game and set everything on highest, but ingame the game really doesnt look HQ or HD at all, there is hardly (besides resolution and lagg) any difference you can see between the traffics and scenery on lowest graphics

I'm a bit dissapointed because I hoped to get awesome graphics...

There is a trick to get a bit more out of quality in RnR.
Ingame Graphic Settings on high,
and you need to increase the graphic values from your graphic card.

Go into your control panel from nvidia or use the Catalyst Control Center from your ATI Card,
and increase the settings of Antialiasing, Anisotropic Filter, Mipmap Detail.
If there is the option "OpenGL Settings" enable "Triple buffering"

For ATI Card users:
Disable "Catalyst A.I. and "Adaptive Anti-Aliasing, or you will have bugs ingame (wheels disappear)

Hope it helps

I love this Game,

the szenery is modelled perfect.
Lights, cities, the whole orange country is absolute awesome!
The Truck Models are great, looks absolute realistic.

The most I like is to drive along San Fran in the night... over the Golden Gate Bridge, phantastic.

A small lag of this game is, no Multiplayer... I would like to race against / deliver Freight with
my friends in a LAN or Internet session.

I think its hard for the Dev's to implement it, but I hope they would find a way in the future. Maybe they also add more Cities (direction east to Florida ? )
This Game has many potential.
