I Like Trucking! An Hour Of American Truck Simulator Alpha Gameplay

On screen, this is going to read as an odd or even naff title for PushStart coverage – which it certainly is compared to the many AAA blockbusters coming soon. I however feel safe and amongst you, my friends, to finally admit something publicly: Hi, my name is Andy and I like to truck. In particular trucking virtually.

I was fortunate enough to acquire an Oculus Rift (DK1) and began experimenting like Christian Grey (shout out to the lady readers) for a unique new gaming experience. I soon find my VR pleasure to be that of spending evenings driving across the UK and Europe, following a Sat Nav and sporting a particularly awkward wide load. Yes SCS Software’s Euro Truck Simulator (1 and 2) worked amazing well with the tech, and I’d go as far to say in the confines of this post that it was one of the best experiences with the hardware.

With the majority of Europe mapped out and roads travelled, the Czech Republic based company has turned its Geomapping tools to the land across the pond. So be ready to swap your Mercedes-Benz Actros for a Peterbilt 579 and dump the traditional full English breakfast for patriotic good’ol U.S. of A waffles and grits (whatever they are) in American Truck Simulator. If this is your niche, then take a gander at this hour long alpha gameplay footage for the game.

American Truck Simulator goes out for delivery sometime in 2015. 

10-4 good buddy.
