Just one of my experiences so far….. late evening but I decided to load the game on PS5 for one quick delivery which I had already started in the previous session. Turned out to be a major experience but for all good reasons. Somehow I’d been in the map and had inadvertently changed my GPS route which took me into the ice road area instead of where I was supposed to deliver. I was tired and so was my character…. Some damage occurred after I tried to overtake a slow vehicle that proceeded to accelerate as I was passing. I clipped another vehicle and truck damage occurred. Seemed ok. I carried on and after reaching my destination the road was closed. I then realised I’d changed the gps route in error. My truck needed repairs and the clock was ticking. I could repair it myself as the oil sump was leaking. Checking the guide I needed a workshop. Nearest was in the wrong direction. So I decided to head to the correct drop off point and at least deliver the cargo. Clock was ticking and it would be a close call. I floored it! Arrived at delivery point and hopped out and ran to the man in the office to complete the job. I’d not detached the trailer! 5 mins remaining……. Leg it back to truck, unhitch and run back to office. Just in time! £6K in the bank. Then limped to nearest workshop and carried out repairs. Time for me and my character to get some well earned sleep. Now I know this sim has a few rough edges but the gameplay and addictive nature is top notch. I recommend to anyone vaguely interested… £21 well spent
When the demo of this game came out, I had sent in some issues I'd had to the devs. Well they obviously didn't listen. 1) you don't manually lock the trailer to the truck. You back under the trailer until the fifth wheel locks to it. You do however crawl under to visually inspect that the jaws locked. 2) the cables in the game are both electrical lines. There are no air lines. The cables should be red and blue and be air line gladhands and a yellow or green electrical chord. 3) lights on the roof of truck don't turn on. 4) this is about the roads. On a two way road it's accurate but when you get on decided roads the center dotted lines should be white and the left line would be yellow. This is true for both directions. 5) they at least need some sort of log book system. You can't just drive non stop and fill up on energy drinks (irl it's 11 hours withing 14 hours). Honestly, the devs did no research before starting development of this game. To me it's an attempt at a money grab off the popularity of ATS. This game is a fail. Save your money
Guys , It's £21 on xbox series.... they have said that £37 is a mistake and have contacted Sony to correct the issue and to hold off until they fix the pricing.
I’m a sucker for a good trucking sim. And sim games in general. I’ve bought and played most of every trucking sim/game we’ve gotten on console over the years, and while I haven’t played this yet, I have to say - it looks like it might be the best we’ve gotten so far. From what I’ve seen from your video, a few things I’d like to see from the devs here are 1.) a performance mode, for sure! 2.) more ai traffic on the road, including maybe cops parked on side the road, and you could get tickets if you pass them speeding. I think it would be cool to see other truckers parked resting and driving. 3.) I think it would be cool if when you added oil and fluids to your truck, they made it like car mechanic sim, where it actually shows you literally holding the bottle and pouring the liquids out and into the area. And that also goes for like putting chains on your tires. It would be cool if you literally had to attach them to your tires. 4.) game definitely needs more truck options. There’s not a lot to choose from here. 5.) and with other trucking sims, I always said it would be cool to hear radio chatter on the radio. 6.) if this game had a multiplayer aspect to it, where you could see other players in the world doing their runs. That would be dope. A game called truck and logistics sim or something like that, came out recently and that’s how it is on there. If a small studio like that can accomplish it, these guys could. With that said, I think I’ll buy it. It looks good. Looks better than what we’ve had over the years.
Don't waste your hard earned money! This one has many critical issues that make it a fail. For starters, your semi is far too slow and the physics of travel are horrid. The graphics are bad. Buy American Truck Sim or Euro Truck if you are looking for a satisfying trucking experience. The fact that you can plug in cables and pop your hood on this game is not enough to save it at this point! It is more a survival Sim and not a trucker Sim in all honesty. The driving aspect of this game is pretty awful. Please listen to reason! Wait on this title until they hopefully fix the graphical issues, at least!
The quality of the game sucks. Constant crashes on PS5 and the last straw was the deletion of my character after nearly 2 weeks of growth. I m done, refund next!
It looks better than all the other truck / bus games we have on console. For the first time O watch your channel (this video) on my tv to have a better impression on what to expect instead the iPhone screen. Ok 44,99! Isn’t cheap and probably in September we have a fist time discount but I buy it. And hope my contribution helps the devs to develop the game even better (extra map dlc?) Thx for the honest review
I appreciate the video, it looks like a fun simulation to me despite some obvious issues but I’ve put up with a lot worse in other simulation games. I can tolerate some bugs if i can play something unique on console, it kind of comes with the genre since they’re usually low budget games. Hopefully the developers will continue to work on it, it’s on my wish list for now.
The mirrors started to mess with my eyes. Frame drop is awful in them. There's zero reason for this on the latest consoles or PC. It's just devs not polishing their products. But that's gaming for the most part now.
I mean give it time lad 😂 your criticism is focused on an issue every single game has gotten wrong, it just takes a bit of playing and testing and it will eventually be optimised
Don't delude yourself into believing this game at this point. The game has too many critical points that are wrong! It was a money grab by this company to capitalize on what the other truck sims didn't utilize in American truck and Euro Truck. SCS software has made award winning level games...support real trucking Sim development and pick up one of those titles you will not be disappointed! This Alaskan Trucking game really is awful. The graphics on PC are horrific. The realism is woefully lacking. It is worth maybe $5 usd. That is it, nothing more. Please 🥺 I wasted my money on this game ... don't make the same mistake I made!!
Interested in this. Maybe in future the developers may want to explore the possibility of making it available for VR like psvr2 need more of these types of games for vr and this would suit my needs
Great review Jason. Very well put together and explained. I bought the Xbox version due to having a steering wheel with that console. My Logitech works well with this game, but seem to choose the controller instead. I think it’s because there’s a lot of other things to do and works better having a controller all ready in hand. I bought the game for £21.57. Someone told me on Twitch this was an introduction offer and will go up in price, but don’t know when.
Thanks for the detailed review..was thinking this was going to be slightly cheaper, so I will wait for sale ..nearly brought on pc for a tenna last week, but I thought I'd wait for the console release..
I have this one installing on my PS5 now, i know not expect much but hope is good enough for a chill gaming session. I wish the maker's of mudrunner decide to make a truck sim for consoles since they have everything to step up this genre.
I can't recommend this game no matter how much you love truck games, seriously buy mudrunner and forget every single truck game on consoles. I can't even even play this for more then 1hour, it's ugly, truck interiors are ugly, map is ugly. 4k does nothing for this even at 30fps. Yeah good concept but stay away from this.
It is a really, really promising title. Already imho the best trucking game on the Xbox (not counting mudrunner etc) and the devs sound like they are going to keep supporting it. Just has a really nice sensibility to it all, and getting out and doing the rpg things makes it a really nice overall experience.
@@gamerbeast3616dude what is even wrong wirh you? Why are you defending like that? Pathetic. How come it‘s like 26€ on xbox and 45€ on ps? How can this not be a problem? Are u jokong right now?
Thanks for the vid Jason! I was worried when I heard about the embargo. I thought for sure that this game was going to be another American nightmare situation 🤦🏽. Thankfully the game looks great! I'm really impressed with the graphics and gameplay. We finally have an actual trucking game on console. I just hope that they up the frame rate to 60fps and up the resolution in the mirror's soon. Other than that it's looking good 👍🏽. Update: After a few hours of playing the game. I'm really enjoying it. As far as the 30 fps it is the smoothest 30 fps I've ever seen. It feels more like 40 fps to me. The gameplay is fun. I haven't experienced any bugs. The game runs really smooth. For those of you on the fence, don't be this is a legit trucking game and it's on console! Start that truck up and start pulling loads! 💪🏽. Update: After about 6 hours of gameplay. I'm still really enjoying this game. A few small critiques I want to add that will help with emerson. Weight is a major factor in the trucking world. They should add load weight in the load description. They also should add icons to the mini map. That way you're not constantly pausing the game to look for shops etc. They also should add a feature that shows how much fuel you are actually using by showing your gas gauge filling up. Right now it's just a guessing game.
I'm glad you are enjoying it. I was frustrated by the embargo as I really wanted to tell everyone there was nothing to worry about, and the game was actually good.
@GametechUK Yeah I was worried because usually when games do that it's never a good thing. Especially not even letting you get early access after all the promotion for them you did. I think it was a bad move on their part because the game is actually good. They should've wanted you to stream it early to build the hype 🤷🏾♂️. I'm really impressed with the game. Finally we console players have a legit trucking game!! Thanks again Jason for always looking out for the console players 💪🏽.
i bought the ps5 version of this game a few days ago, this is not my first experience of truck games on console, mud runner and snow runner look like the real deal but are so frustrating at times it becomes a chore to make any kind of progress,also got truck driver for ps4 which was such a let down in so many ways, i would love for alaskan road truckers on console to be the game i've been looking for, an enjoyable, immersive and rewarding game that allows me to really feel like an alaskan trucker.
As someone who spent 62$ for ps5 version and still haven't been refunded my money. I'm not happy with this to say the least. The mirrors are awful, it hiccups like no tomorrow, the AI crashes into me when I slow down and then I get fined for it. The AI barrel down the road going 1000mph and drift into my lane all the time! It has realistic features like the fueling, random trees you need to cut down and the whole seasons thing they have is cool. I haven't made it out of Summer yet and finding it hard to enjoy myself playing this game much further. It recently got a 2nd update for ps5 and haven't even checked it out yet. Might see tomorrow if it's more or less the same problems. Pretty sure all they fixed was it crashing or lagging whenever you enter a certain town that I probably haven't even got to yet lol. Just a huge disappointment for ps5 users who want an ATS type game and keep getting Euro trash BS or broken messes like this. I just hope they patch everything that needs fixing which is alot!
Hate to say it but im feeling its gonna be a flop, first off paid the 41 dollars which was too much no doubt, i better get a refund but i doubt it, and not only that i encountered a crash dealing with the computer at the base just after the first job. Was super excited to get to play it on my ps5 just to walk away with disappointment in less than 30 minutes.
This game is horribly optimized. I am telling people my experience with the game. I bought it and have regretted my purchase ever since! The physics of the truck are terrible and the game should be a survival Sim with driving as a side hustle. Because the trucking aspect really is that bad.
I absolutely love this Driving, survival simulator! Does it have a few kinks? yeah I suppose, but its nothing game breaking for me and I don't think it deserves half the hate it gets.
If you want to make snowrunner a really enjoyable trucking game,download a 714wm truck mod. I was sick of getting stuck in snowrunner, and with this modded truck which has loads of customisation it doesn't happen anymore. Once you've got that truck it totally transforms snowrunner into imo a brilliant point to point driving sim. Stll challenging, but with all the fustration gone. Try it,it totally transformed the game for me and try the mod maps as a lot of them are better than the original maps you get. I recommend ice road haulin the region map it's a great map with tons to do and feels like your ice road trucking. Just downloading this, but I'm expecting to be disappointed, but I'll give it a go. Great review btw.
Just going to say the video is great I own the game I love it but all in all great game glad you showed the game to everybody and I really wish they had a co-op mode or a multiplayer so I can play with at least three other friends Maps big enough❤❤❤❤❤
I’m not remotely a framerate nerd, but on PS5 this game has noticeable dips in framerate constantly, driving never feels smooth. After having played this for a few hours you will definitely have been aware of this - shameful of you mate to put out such a deliberately dishonest review.
@@Fire91ful So my understanding is, that you bought this game and it's bad? Am I correct? I've been waiting for this release for quite a while, so I really hope it's not the case...
He gets paid for it 😂 Every review is paid off!!! He’s never honest that’s why I don’t watch him anymore , I was a subscriber since 300 subs and even donated 100$ to him throughout his RUclips career
@@AcornSmokes420if you don't watch him anymore, why bothering clicking on this video, commenting on someone, and also try to flex you donated 100$ to him. You are weird.
I would pleased if the following things would implement into the game: We could turn off hud elements we want. The virtual gauge in left bottom corner and the minimap on the other side are bothering me because these things are on dashboard as well. But if I turn off the hud I can't see my gear level (I prefer not to use automatic shifting), the problems of the truck, the time, seasons, etc. So devs should put more information onto the dashboard. A periodical option would be good for windshield cleaner. The AI cars can react to my truck but not to my trailer and they can hit it. There would be good volume switches up and down for the radio. Btw when I get out from the truck the music from the radio become suddenly silent. A fade away effect for radio voice would be good for better immersion. And a couple of times the game dropped me out, sometimes the noise of steps of my character was silent or my truck engine noice stucked even if I stopped the engine so at these events I had to go back to the main menu. And there would be good if we could check all of our inventories (in the HQ, in the truck, all of it) any time so in a shop we could check what we have in different places. These things could make the game better but I like it already.
l first brought on pc which wasn't that good but when l brought on PS5 it is so much better it is worth the money 10/10 there properly some little miner issues they to fix but otherwise love it especially the price of $40 is worth it
$40 is a lot of money for a game with such low frame rates and critical shortcomings! Buy farming simulator for that price! Far more fun and you get to drive semi on it!
The biggest reason I haven't bought it yet is because of the spoiling food aspect. I can cope with the needing to eat but become a nervous wreck when I have to also manage food expiration. I like to buy in bulk to always be prepared but knowing it won't last stops me from doing it. I don't suppose there is a setting that disables it? Or is it not to much af an issue because hunger doesn't go down as quick?
I honestly am enjoying the game, the only thing I'm disappointed with is the inability to use my gear stick and lack of force feedback on my Logitech g29 wheel
Hi. Grate video serie. I have one question. XP. It feels like it will take forewer to lvl upp. Any tips? And in the hardest game mode. Do you lvl faster ? Thinking that you will make more repairs…. Is that correct?
Loved your review Jason and brought it straight on ps5 after watching. Wish i had gone on the alaskan road truckers fb page first though as turns out the £37 i paid is a mistake, so hopefully will get the price difference refunded once its sorted. Still love the game though, hope they do do optimisation on the mirrors too as like you said pretty unuseable atm
This game is on a different planet vs American truck simulator on my PC i just wanted to practice backing maneuvers on my ps5 😂. This shit is unreal more than just driving
I know this should not be a year to ask this but, no steering wheel (g923) on the PS5 on a trucking simulator? Taxi Life too. Is it that hard? The racing games can do it but the simulators can't???
I have to say I have put about 5 hours into the Ps5 version and I’m bloody loving it. The sound of the truck is perfect, the visuals good. It plays well, I mean I don’t race around the map, which may cause more popping if people do that, I drive as you do, so about 30 mph (still think they need to amend the speedo) and just relaxing The Truck Stop Radio is actually a cool addition. I am really impressed and for me this has to be the only trucking game worth anyone’s time. Especially for the money too. Hey did you hear they had the price wrong on Ps5 ? I paid over £30 for it, I also bought it on the Xbox S which I will try in a bit. But the Xbox was just over £20. Perhaps a free Custom Pack DLC for PlayStation users who paid more rather than refunding people money ? But seeing you play this over the last year, I knew this was going to be up my street. Sure there is some frame drops and there is some popping, but hey I come from the Spectrum era, I love this game. The immersion, the sound, the radio, the long deliveries, the truck maintaining and hooking up trailers, grabbing a coffee in thr shop, it’s just brilliant. 5 stars from me on the Ps Store. Thanks for all your hard work on three videos 🥰
@@GametechUK aww you weren’t wrong 😊 Isn’t it soooo good to finally have a decent trucking game on console. I’m sure there will be some people who will moan, but i think it’s great. Also it’s going to be fun to see what Cosmetics, Liveries, Trucks, maybe more loads. Who knows but the future is bright for this game. But I’m all for paid DLC. The foundations are great. Bring it on 😎
I downloaded it on xbox for $40 personally I think it's a great game so far only complaint is the lack of traffic especially being the only semi trailer on the road is weird 😅but other then that it's good 👍
I think from a starting off theres some bits that need sorting but im here for it i like the fame dwspite its downs (and theres a few) but its good the radio tho now thats something else 😂😂😂
I have both the xbox x and the ps5. Don't know to what consol I should by the game to 🤔 also I need to get a new steering wheel, and need to take that in consideration to what consol there is the best wheel :/
I'm pissed off I live in Illinois we had a little tornado my lights been off for 4 days I was at Winter on Alaskan road truckers I can't even play until my lights on I am grateful things wasn't worse but Im trying to play
I love your content Jas. I enjoyed your streams of this on pc. The steering animation in cockpit view looks worse than when I saw you driving on pc. What a pity. 😔
@@GametechUK I understand buddy but what I meant was it just looks smoother with a wheel. Wish they could make the steering more smooth on controller too
@@Adrian_oS Try changing some of the settings for controller, or maybe turning it slower. I of course know what you mean, but you have way more control over a wheel, hence the slower speed.
I much prefer to drop abit of graphics over 60fps, i always find 30fps starts to give me eye ache, almost like my eyes are trying to add in the other 30fps, but thats each to their own preference, When i watched you play the PC version, i noticed you using gear stick, i cant seem to get mine working, also, i noticed you could quick look left/right within the cab view, how did you do that, im finding it frustrating having to constantly pick up my controller to look left/right before exiting a junction, Fanantec on the Series X
I spent $40 on it.. When it dropped on PS5 Honestly? Yes it has problems.. Frame rate issues? I only see in the mirrors but to me I still can use them.. 30FPS aint that bad? I honestly could care less.. Just last year on PS4 all my games were 30FPS so.. Eh Im enjoying the game personally, I find it fun.. I have ran into some sh*tty bugs butttttt an big but.. i fixed them an it didnt break my game so.. Im happy. I'd say wait for it if you want to see it get better before u buy. However im happy I bought it

I can't even even play this for more then 1hour, it's ugly, truck interiors are ugly, map is ugly. 4k does nothing for this even at 30fps. Yeah good concept but stay away from this.
It is a really, really promising title. Already imho the best trucking game on the Xbox (not counting mudrunner etc) and the devs sound like they are going to keep supporting it. Just has a really nice sensibility to it all, and getting out and doing the rpg things makes it a really nice overall experience.
Thanks for the video!
Is this steering wheel compatible?
Thanks for the video brother. I'm excited!
45 eur is way too much. They're having a laugh at this point. What's going on with gaming? Easy cash grabs is going on
this is not a cash grab lmao
@@gamerbeast3616dude what is even wrong wirh you? Why are you defending like that? Pathetic. How come it‘s like 26€ on xbox and 45€ on ps? How can this not be a problem? Are u jokong right now?
it's a mistake on PS's end so ART Devs are investigating.
@@dgeneratio1the price is a mistake?
I am very glad that it’s a good port over is good
Can't wait to play this
Why is it £36.99 on PS5 but £21.57 on xbox x/s?

Thanks for the vid Jason! I was worried when I heard about the embargo. I thought for sure that this game was going to be another American nightmare situation 🤦🏽. Thankfully the game looks great! I'm really impressed with the graphics and gameplay. We finally have an actual trucking game on console. I just hope that they up the frame rate to 60fps and up the resolution in the mirror's soon. Other than that it's looking good 👍🏽.
Update: After a few hours of playing the game. I'm really enjoying it. As far as the 30 fps it is the smoothest 30 fps I've ever seen. It feels more like 40 fps to me. The gameplay is fun. I haven't experienced any bugs.
The game runs really smooth. For those of you on the fence, don't be this is a legit trucking game and it's on console! Start that truck up and start pulling loads! 💪🏽.
Update: After about 6 hours of gameplay. I'm still really enjoying this game. A few small critiques I want to add that will help with emerson. Weight is a major factor in the trucking world. They should add load weight in the load description. They also should add icons to the mini map. That way you're not constantly pausing the game to look for shops etc. They also should add a feature that shows how much fuel you are actually using by showing your gas gauge filling up. Right now it's just a guessing game.
I'm glad you are enjoying it. I was frustrated by the embargo as I really wanted to tell everyone there was nothing to worry about, and the game was actually good.
@GametechUK Yeah I was worried because usually when games do that it's never a good thing. Especially not even letting you get early access after all the promotion for them you did. I think it was a bad move on their part because the game is actually good. They should've wanted you to stream it early to build the hype 🤷🏾♂️. I'm really impressed with the game. Finally we console players have a legit trucking game!! Thanks again Jason for always looking out for the console players 💪🏽.
i bought the ps5 version of this game a few days ago, this is not my first experience of truck games on console, mud runner and snow runner look like the real deal but are so frustrating at times it becomes a chore to make any kind of progress,also got truck driver for ps4 which was such a let down in so many ways, i would love for alaskan road truckers on console to be the game i've been looking for, an enjoyable, immersive and rewarding game that allows me to really feel like an alaskan trucker.
And? How do you liked it?
I will be buying it next week looks fantastic
How is it on the xbox series?
I never played a sim in my life but damn i got interested in this one
As someone who spent 62$ for ps5 version and still haven't been refunded my money. I'm not happy with this to say the least. The mirrors are awful, it hiccups like no tomorrow, the AI crashes into me when I slow down and then I get fined for it. The AI barrel down the road going 1000mph and drift into my lane all the time! It has realistic features like the fueling, random trees you need to cut down and the whole seasons thing they have is cool. I haven't made it out of Summer yet and finding it hard to enjoy myself playing this game much further. It recently got a 2nd update for ps5 and haven't even checked it out yet. Might see tomorrow if it's more or less the same problems. Pretty sure all they fixed was it crashing or lagging whenever you enter a certain town that I probably haven't even got to yet lol. Just a huge disappointment for ps5 users who want an ATS type game and keep getting Euro trash BS or broken messes like this. I just hope they patch everything that needs fixing which is alot!
Is it steering wheel clutch pedal compatible?
I appreciate and respect your opinion on simulation games.
Hate to say it but im feeling its gonna be a flop, first off paid the 41 dollars which was too much no doubt, i better get a refund but i doubt it, and not only that i encountered a crash dealing with the computer at the base just after the first job. Was super excited to get to play it on my ps5 just to walk away with disappointment in less than 30 minutes.
The mirrors look like shit
at least they work. some game car mirrors down even work!
This game is horribly optimized. I am telling people my experience with the game. I bought it and have regretted my purchase ever since! The physics of the truck are terrible and the game should be a survival Sim with driving as a side hustle. Because the trucking aspect really is that bad.
I absolutely love this Driving, survival simulator! Does it have a few kinks? yeah I suppose, but its nothing game breaking for me and I don't think it deserves half the hate it gets.
I hope for truck finds like snowrunner
How did they manage to make a game on unreal engine look so poor? 😂
I wish there was a more immersive and manule truck game with graphics like snowrunner. I like snowrunner but wish I could walk around
Looks way better than I expected! Definitely been worth the wait. Can't wait to play it later. Thanks for the detailed review!
My pleasure.
Hi Jason, marcus got the game and hes wheel is working on it
Man I would love a VR mode, wishful thinking probably 🤷🏿♂️
I'm going to wait for a 60fps update, I don't mind 30fps on lcd screens, but on a 55 inch oled 30fps is just extremely jarring and stuttery
The price is fixed so I've been playing a few hours and I'm loving it! Really great game.
Good to hear!
If you want to make snowrunner a really enjoyable trucking game,download a 714wm truck mod. I was sick of getting stuck in snowrunner, and with this modded truck which has loads of customisation it doesn't happen anymore. Once you've got that truck it totally transforms snowrunner into imo a brilliant point to point driving sim. Stll challenging, but with all the fustration gone. Try it,it totally transformed the game for me and try the mod maps as a lot of them are better than the original maps you get. I recommend ice road haulin the region map it's a great map with tons to do and feels like your ice road trucking. Just downloading this, but I'm expecting to be disappointed, but I'll give it a go. Great review btw.
Was Alaskan Trucking a disappointment for you? Please update us on your thoughts!
Just going to say the video is great I own the game I love it but all in all great game glad you showed the game to everybody and I really wish they had a co-op mode or a multiplayer so I can play with at least three other friends Maps big enough❤❤❤❤❤
I’m not remotely a framerate nerd, but on PS5 this game has noticeable dips in framerate constantly, driving never feels smooth. After having played this for a few hours you will definitely have been aware of this - shameful of you mate to put out such a deliberately dishonest review.
I noticed he never mentioned the actual feel of the truck. I got scammed by anerican dream.
@@Fire91ful So my understanding is, that you bought this game and it's bad? Am I correct? I've been waiting for this release for quite a while, so I really hope it's not the case...
He gets paid for it 😂
Every review is paid off!!!
He’s never honest that’s why I don’t watch him anymore , I was a subscriber since 300 subs and even donated 100$ to him throughout his RUclips career
@@AcornSmokes420if you don't watch him anymore, why bothering clicking on this video, commenting on someone, and also try to flex you donated 100$ to him. You are weird.
So did the pc version just wait till next update
I would pleased if the following things would implement into the game:
We could turn off hud elements we want. The virtual gauge in left bottom corner and the minimap on the other side are bothering me because these things are on dashboard as well.
But if I turn off the hud I can't see my gear level (I prefer not to use automatic shifting), the problems of the truck, the time, seasons, etc. So devs should put more information onto the dashboard.
A periodical option would be good for windshield cleaner.
The AI cars can react to my truck but not to my trailer and they can hit it.
There would be good volume switches up and down for the radio. Btw when I get out from the truck the music from the radio become suddenly silent. A fade away effect for radio voice would be good for better immersion.
And a couple of times the game dropped me out, sometimes the noise of steps of my character was silent or my truck engine noice stucked even if I stopped the engine so at these events I had to go back to the main menu.
And there would be good if we could check all of our inventories (in the HQ, in the truck, all of it) any time so in a shop we could check what we have in different places.
These things could make the game better but I like it already.
@@peterattilakriszt3150 I agree.
All really good suggestions.
Downloading now as I listen to your video 🥰
Hey Jason are you having any issues on the sound sticking and your in the middle of delivering a load and game just freezes ☹️, I love the game
Your truck already comes with chains and radiators cover
Great job as usual Jason very informative we can tell you put in a lot of work on these videos. Keep up the great content.
Thanks PattyD!
l first brought on pc which wasn't that good but when l brought on PS5 it is so much better it is worth the money 10/10 there properly some little miner issues they to fix but otherwise love it especially the price of $40 is worth it
Is it steering wheel/clutch pedal accurately compatible?
@@nuwaubian999 yes
@@Lea-em7pf Thanks for responding back.
$40 is a lot of money for a game with such low frame rates and critical shortcomings! Buy farming simulator for that price! Far more fun and you get to drive semi on it!
Thank you for a great video. It's convinced me to buy on Xbox Series X
Glad I could help!
The biggest reason I haven't bought it yet is because of the spoiling food aspect. I can cope with the needing to eat but become a nervous wreck when I have to also manage food expiration. I like to buy in bulk to always be prepared but knowing it won't last stops me from doing it. I don't suppose there is a setting that disables it? Or is it not to much af an issue because hunger doesn't go down as quick?
The steering is a bit weird…
I honestly am enjoying the game, the only thing I'm disappointed with is the inability to use my gear stick and lack of force feedback on my Logitech g29 wheel
glad your show casting it so we don't have to.
Hi. Grate video serie.
I have one question. XP. It feels like it will take forewer to lvl upp.
Any tips?
And in the hardest game mode. Do you lvl faster ? Thinking that you will make more repairs…. Is that correct?
Loved your review Jason and brought it straight on ps5 after watching. Wish i had gone on the alaskan road truckers fb page first though as turns out the £37 i paid is a mistake, so hopefully will get the price difference refunded once its sorted. Still love the game though, hope they do do optimisation on the mirrors too as like you said pretty unuseable atm
How long is the average truck job because I like it when it takes a while like 1-2 hour journeys like American truck sim
Long and very borng travel in this game! Unless you enjoy looking at computerized block rendered trees.
Is it possible to play with a steering wheel or do I have to control the menu through the Сontroller?
Will it be on disk or just download i looked but cant seem to find it on Amazon ect?
So far so good... Iove it
Thanks for the review - looks like I am spending money when i finish work :)
This game is on a different planet vs American truck simulator on my PC i just wanted to practice backing maneuvers on my ps5 😂. This shit is unreal more than just driving
I know this should not be a year to ask this but, no steering wheel (g923) on the PS5 on a trucking simulator? Taxi Life too. Is it that hard? The racing games can do it but the simulators can't???
I have to say I have put about 5 hours into the Ps5 version and I’m bloody loving it.
The sound of the truck is perfect, the visuals good.
It plays well, I mean I don’t race around the map, which may cause more popping if people do that,
I drive as you do, so about 30 mph (still think they need to amend the speedo) and just relaxing
The Truck Stop Radio is actually a cool addition.
I am really impressed and for me this has to be the only trucking game worth anyone’s time.
Especially for the money too.
Hey did you hear they had the price wrong on Ps5 ?
I paid over £30 for it, I also bought it on the Xbox S which I will try in a bit.
But the Xbox was just over £20.
Perhaps a free Custom Pack DLC for PlayStation users who paid more rather than refunding people money ?
But seeing you play this over the last year, I knew this was going to be up my street.
Sure there is some frame drops and there is some popping, but hey I come from the Spectrum era, I love this game.
The immersion, the sound, the radio, the long deliveries, the truck maintaining and hooking up trailers, grabbing a coffee in thr shop, it’s just brilliant.
5 stars from me on the Ps Store.
Thanks for all your hard work on three videos 🥰
I knew you would love it KT!
@@GametechUK aww you weren’t wrong 😊
Isn’t it soooo good to finally have a decent trucking game on console.
I’m sure there will be some people who will moan, but i think it’s great.
Also it’s going to be fun to see what Cosmetics, Liveries, Trucks, maybe more loads.
Who knows but the future is bright for this game. But I’m all for paid DLC.
The foundations are great.
Bring it on 😎
How do you get the difference licenses
Loving it on Xbox series X game looks great
I downloaded it on xbox for $40 personally I think it's a great game so far only complaint is the lack of traffic especially being the only semi trailer on the road is weird 😅but other then that it's good 👍
Will it be coming on ps5 games cd too
Well isn’t this beautiful going from my Steam Deck to my Series X so pretty 😂
Can they add day cab ??
I think from a starting off theres some bits that need sorting but im here for it i like the fame dwspite its downs (and theres a few) but its good the radio tho now thats something else 😂😂😂
Does the game support Logitech G29 steering wheels on PS5???
I have both the xbox x and the ps5. Don't know to what consol I should by the game to 🤔 also I need to get a new steering wheel, and need to take that in consideration to what consol there is the best wheel :/
Just glad they dropped the price for PS5.. it’s at $28.99..
(yesterday price is not today’s price!!)
It would be nice If these review videos could not take a freaking hour to answer a simple question
Well this video is 28 minutes long! Are you sure you didn't have it on pause!
I'm pissed off I live in Illinois we had a little tornado my lights been off for 4 days I was at Winter on Alaskan road truckers I can't even play until my lights on I am grateful things wasn't worse but Im trying to play
Steering wheel compatible?
And does it work on steering wheel
Just got it today for PS5
I love your content Jas. I enjoyed your streams of this on pc. The steering animation in cockpit view looks worse than when I saw you driving on pc. What a pity. 😔
Honestly I don't see a difference, other than I am on controller whereas on PC I am on the wheel.
@@GametechUK I understand buddy but what I meant was it just looks smoother with a wheel. Wish they could make the steering more smooth on controller too
@@Adrian_oS Try changing some of the settings for controller, or maybe turning it slower. I of course know what you mean, but you have way more control over a wheel, hence the slower speed.
steering movement animation is rubbish
Yes it's a shame. Put me off it. Doesn't look like that on the pc version and streams that Jason did. A pity
I much prefer to drop abit of graphics over 60fps, i always find 30fps starts to give me eye ache, almost like my eyes are trying to add in the other 30fps, but thats each to their own preference,
When i watched you play the PC version, i noticed you using gear stick, i cant seem to get mine working, also, i noticed you could quick look left/right within the cab view, how did you do that, im finding it frustrating having to constantly pick up my controller to look left/right before exiting a junction,
Fanantec on the Series X
£39.99 available now downloading cant wait to play
The price should have been less than 30....its listing the price incorrectly on PS
it's a mistake on PS's end so ART Devs are investigating.
Why is it 13 GB on PS but it's bigger file on Xbox? 🤔 its like 38 GB on Xbox.
can steering twitch be fixed
Can use g29 for this game?
Yes, I have made a video on that.
Brother bought it me on Series S and it's so cheap that he bought it himself on his Series X. That's how you price a game.
I take it its wheel supported..
Thanks 👍
I spent $40 on it.. When it dropped on PS5
Honestly? Yes it has problems.. Frame rate issues? I only see in the mirrors but to me I still can use them..
30FPS aint that bad? I honestly could care less.. Just last year on PS4 all my games were 30FPS so.. Eh
Im enjoying the game personally, I find it fun.. I have ran into some sh*tty bugs butttttt an big but.. i fixed them an it didnt break my game so.. Im happy.
I'd say wait for it if you want to see it get better before u buy. However im happy I bought it
This is BS, it was in-between the £24.99 games, £37 is a wait for sale tbh for me 100% would've got it at 25
It's the wrong price displayed. They are looking into it.
@GametechUK cheers mate hopefully it'll be right ASAP
@@GametechUKthe price will drop down on ps5 or rise on Xbox ?
@alexanderhutse4340 I was on about ps5 £24.99, but looked at xbox £21.57(no account) idk
@@SteelFireOneShot in Belgium it’s 44,99 euro
Please fix the bloody mirrors man!!! This should be a number 1 priority! I refuse to use them.
I am so happy now. It is fun. Quite cool
