It’s Spintires. It’s like one of those weird Log Cutting or Forklift sims, right?
Take responsibility of operating large all-terrain Soviet vehicles and venture across the rugged landscapes with only a map and compass to guide you. Explore the levels and unlock portions of the map whilst discovering new trucks, fuelling stations, garages and lumber mills.
Collect lumber with the crane attachments and try to deliver them to the objectives. Try not to damage your vehicle or consume all of the fuel, prior to completing the objectives. Use the surroundings to your advantage, you may need to winch yourself free!
I watched this 60 minute playthrough last night, it looks pretty damn interesting and is much more than just a tech demo now, looks like they actually have managed to put a game in there as well! This might end up being a must for any ETS2 fan. Hardcore mode sounds crazy!
I agree, wheel support is a must, but not so sure on FFB, I think it would be very hard to implement in this game as the forces could never match what you are seeing on screen, strength-wise. A couple of rumbles here and there just won’t cut it realistically and may actually disconnect you from the game.
Yes - I don’t know what the acceleration factor is, but I definitely didn’t spend five hours trying to extricate myself from the muck. It was probably 20 or so minutes.
Because I’m a casual-playing “pansy”, I could have gone to the map and recovered to the garage at any point, but where’s the fun in that? I really did have a genuine sense of achievement when I got that thing out. Almost as much as I when I backed a trailer onto a dock in ETSII.
Yesterday I got my line slightly wrong over a rickety wooden bridge and lost a simply massive truck and all its logs over the side into a lake. It’s a calamitous game.
I’m pretty sure co-op consists of one of you getting stuck, the other tipping over when he tries to winch you out of the mud, and then you trying to ram his truck back upright for several hours.
Well looks like you bought it anyway hey. I have the same reservations though, this looks like something I’d enjoy but I’d love it with my FFB wheel. No TrackIR either I’m guessing?
*Oh, no cockpits!? So is the game only really playable from 3rd person or something?
Yeah, it’s 3rd person, and the cameras can be pretty wonky. That said, I don’t really think they were trying to make a simulator so much as a survival horror game for trucks.
