Impressions from the video:

- crashes are laughable
- instant repair while you're on the road? Are you ******* kidding me? I thought this was a sim?! I don't even think SCS games have this, you have to reach a service shop at least if you want to repair your truck.
- you don't have to align your truck and attach trailers yourself. Again, I thought this was a SIM?

I sure hope that there really is a "realism" option where you can set everything to as realistic as possible because from this video it sure as hell doesn't look like a trucking sim. At all. It looks like an average arcade trucking game. And that would be a damn shame.

SCS does have a instant repair feature. This acts like a on road repair service where a vehicle drives to you and repair your vehicle but it isn't a good feature. The game should at least advance time as if you had to wait for someone to come an fix your truck.

It does look like an arcade game and I hope that interviewer was sacked because that was the worst game trailer I've ever seen from GT. It didn't show the game at its full potential and he seemed to have NFI about the game or trucking. The game will be quite real, you just need to know how to drive a truck. There will be many features you will not have know were in the game when you come to playing it.

Yeah, I was kind of pissed by that too. Having a repair vehicle coming to repair to your truck would be ok, but then I would like to see this vehicle when it arrives, and be forced to wait for it awhile. They said something about an arcade mode, so I really hope the guy was using it for the demo.

Yeah, a really bad ad hoc trailer. But please give me more!

Well, what makes you say that? I thought, if you were unsatisfied with the arcade-ness of this game, you haven't seen "King of the Road" - it's a truck based racing game, not a sim. Instant repairs, challenging winding roads, and a lot of racing . Very little focus on cargo delivery. Well, sort of...

I think this game tries to find success by being perfect compromise between the two - arcade and simulation

You know, I do have a theory as to why the trailers are aligned for you.

Remember, the game "supposedly" takes place in 2024. Maybe this is 1C's idea of how trailers will be set up in the future: preloaded and aligned by overhead crane.

that's just my idea. Feel free to debate.

That's a good point, hadn't thought of that.

Still, it does take away part of the fun, IMO. One of the fun - and sometimes frustrating - things in the SCS games was attaching and detaching the trailer properly.
