Or s/he can clip through the seat as there are no real collisions, and we can not change the movement of the camera without inviting sickness.” For example, by physically moving their head far from the window they can see a side of the truck which we originally didn’t need to render before VR. “We still have a lot of situations where the player can see things which they shouldn’t be able to. “In our case the player’s ability to move their head in a big area means that s/he might be able to look at objects that could be culled otherwise. “Our desire to give the player the ability to look around freely might create additional complexities for design, art and optimization,” said Dvořák. But since Euro Truck is a port, and not a game built from the ground up for VR, SCS did encounter a slew of obstacles. SCS did not need to make any drastic changes to gameplay or level design since Euro Truck is already a stationary experience. Euro Truck thrives off of authenticity, and what better way to make players feel like they’re inside a truck without actually driving one in real life. The studio is one of the earliest supporters of VR, and understandably so. SCS started porting Euro Truck over to the Oculus Rift back in 2013. It also significantly improves the player’s immersion as looking into the mirror or through the side window becomes a natural movement.” “In the case of Euro Truck, VR introduces a feeling of being really present inside the truck – sometimes to a degree that the player would like to touch the wheel or dashboard. “We were interested in trying the new technology and in improving the driving experience, as a cockpit-based simulator seemed to be a natural fit for stationary VR,” said Jiří Dvořák, senior programmer at SCS Software.
Now you can feel like you’re sitting in the cockpit of a prodigious truck while taking on stressful tasks, and basking in the glorious locales. But SCS Software is using virtual reality to take things up a notch. But still, the beautiful sights sometimes make it all worth it.Įuro Truck Simulator 2 is an authentic depiction of this job, putting you in control of highly detailed vehicles. It’s a grueling but adventurous job in which you can’t see your family for months on end. The crux of Euro Truck and, more recently, American Truck Simulator, is to let players experience what it’s like to be a truck driver. You won’t find bombastic car chases or any kind of thrilling action set pieces in developer SCS Software’s calm simulator. Euro Truck Simulator 2 has been around for several years now, providing players the ability to simply drive a few of trucks around stunning vistas in a specific depiction of Europe.
