Finally, Truck Driver: The American Dream is below to bring us the something that American Truck Simulator was missing out on: a durable tale project full of human dramatization.
I’m a large follower of SCS Software’s preferred vehicle sims, so I really did not assume also much of it when among my associates sent me the launch trailer for Truck Driver: The American Dream. But individuals, absolutely nothing on the planet can have prepared me for this trailer to open up with words “I was five when I lost my father,” taking place to lay out a story of a family members abused by one guy’s demand to drive an eighteen-wheeler. There’s additionally a little bit where he seems carrying a pirate ship.
Okay, that could in fact make it seem a little bit extra amazing than it truly is. There’s a 20 min gameplay demonstration video for The American Dream, and also mainly it looks like we’re complying with lead character Nathan via a duration of boosting psychological range in between him and also his other half, which… appearance, guy, I play trucking games to loosen up, and also I’m not exactly sure I can handle driving those nation miles with the weight of a questionably voice-acted guy’s marital relationship on my shoulders.
“Join Nathan as your adventure becomes an emotional rollercoaster where career milestones intertwine with personal growth,” the devs claim in the demonstration, so at the very least there’s some hope in the tale. The devs claim a great deal because demonstration, also, consisting of a couple of lines which I can hardly think were accepted also as advertising and marketing fluff. Like this: “Powered by the cutting-edge Unreal Engine 5, we’ve created the most detailed open world on consoles to date.” Yes, individuals: fail to remember Skyrim, Elden Ring, Starfield, Baldur’s Gate 3, and also also Red Dead Redemption 2. This is one of the most thorough open globe on gaming consoles.
Truck Driver: The American Dream simply released for PS5 and also Xbox Series X and also S previously today. Bizarrely, there’s no computer variation, though Dutch author Soedesco has actually been teasing a possible news of even more systems.
This is in fact the 2nd access in Soedesco’s trucking collection. The initially, just labelled Truck Driver, initially struck gaming consoles back in 2019. I’ve played a little bit of it, and also while it appears to share The American Dream’s mainly straight framework and also tendency for called goal providers with special dialog, it does not include the follow up’s voice acting or passions towards correct dramatization.
The initial Truck Driver was apparently established inside at Soedesco, however The American Dream was established by a Bulgarian workshop called Kyodai. The workshop formerly developed an unique first-person sci-fi journey game called Elea, so it’s taking fairly a visit relocating rather right into story-driven trucking games. However excellent The American Dream is, it appears Soedesco is fairly pleased by the outcomes, since it acquired Kyodai simply before the game’s launch.
“With Truck Driver: The American Dream, Kyodai and Soedesco have embarked on a journey to create the most ambitious story-driven truck driving experience to date,” they claim. I can absolutely claim that The American Dream is, certainly, one of the most enthusiastic story-driven vehicle driving experience I’ve ever before seen in a game. And additionally the just one. I still can not make a decision if I in fact intend to play it, however I am definitely amazed by it.
Truck sims are plainly locating a target market, to the factor where multiple trucking companies are now trying to hire American Truck Simulator players.
