Euro Truck Simulator 2 on PS4 and XBOX One

[YUNG SKRIMP]

How cool would it be if ETS2 would be on XBOX One and PS4?

[YUNG SKRIMP]

I would buy it

Although there are games like Farming Simulator that have made the jump to consoles generally sims are for PC and it's niche even then, on console the market would be even smaller.I would prefer they stick to PC.

I would love it on PS4 and would buy it if they did make a console version. I have Farming Simulartor 15 on both PC and PS4 and enjoy playing on both.

Yeah. But it would generate them more money if the game would be on the console market. A lot of people don't have the money to buy a PC to run the game properly, so they buy a console. And where I live, a good gaming PC is more expensive than a console. A console is 250 euros and a good gaming PC would be 400 or 500 euros.

I agree on that, the more people that can play it the better but as I said I think that as it's fairly niche on PC on console it would be even more so, can't see it selling more than a few thousand on PS4 and XB1 combined.I would prefer to see that effort of bringing the game to console be spent on improving or expanding what we have.

The game has become great because of mods. consoles don't allow installation of mods if i am correct

You got a point there. Steam is more of a PC thing. But it is making it's way into the console universe with the Steam Link and the Steam controller. Maybe if Steam decides to release itself onto the consoles, that the Steam workshop will be there, allowing mods and addons for Euro Truck Simulator 2 and a lot other games.

You would be incorrect, sir and/or madam!
Bethesda is doing some work to get mods on consoles in Fallout 4 (at least, when PS4 is finally getting them...)

right, mods on console are less of a technical issue and more of a corporate politics and brand image issue. if they allow mods unrestricted, stability issues will come out, and the general expectation with consoles is that they "just work" without having to mess with drivers, software issues, hardware upgrades, etc. Unstable games leads to diminished percieved value of that brand of console, and that value or reputation is what they live off of. in general, pc games that do mod their games do so with the understanding it might take some work to get them all working correctly. one of the most important parts is paying attention to the game version the mod works with. this version control, or lack of, is a MAJOR flaw with the workshop, and I assume the fallout mods on console will have the same issue is they are not updated to work with the current game version.

Consoles have a limit on what they are capable of doing for the game, take GTA 5, on PS4/XB1, it looks okay, on PC, on Ultra, looks amazing, Project cars, the same. PC gives a game a lot more potential both community wise as well as gameplay wise too, not to mention SCS would have 6 times the workload they have now if they port both ATS and ETS2 to both consoles, which is 6 times the cost, 6 times the amount of staff needed, 6 times the amount of work needed and for what?

Plenty of games that are PC only have outsold Console ports over the years, PC offers a lot more to a game and a SMALL game developer like SCS than a larger company like RockStar.

No, until Consoles are mod compatible, allow you to use Steering wheels as standard and offer you BETTER graphical quality than any PC system, i personally would want these sorts of sims to stay PC only. Its like asking Microsoft to develop Flight Sim for console or for the creators of XPlanes to make a Console version of the game. It would never work.

Simulators SHOULD always be PC only, other genres should be interchangable between console and PC, Theres more Sim demand for PC users than consoles, thats a simple fact.

actually from what i heard on a Livestream the otherday, Bethesda are putting mod support on the backburner because sony wants a percentage of the profits if mods are allowed on their console.

Also, consoles have been around for years, yet its only now that 1 developer out of the dozens out there is making the move to add mod support on a console version of a game, if they are sucessful, mod support for games might be a full blown thing in a few years, perhaps when the next gen comes around, but till then, PC will hold the title for moddable games like ETS2 and ATS, by that time, SCS would have moved on from ETS2 so it wouldnt even matter by then.

Two questions:
1) Was this is an official Bethesda Livestream, or a livestream from a guy who "heard it from a friend, from a mate, who's a cousin to a girl whose cat comes from the same litter as a developer from Bethesda"?
2) If the stream WAS official, kindly put a link out (ideally with a timestamp).

Firstly, it was a Creditable YT who knows Bethesda personally and who spoke to the project leader directly on the stream.

Second, if i could i wold, but i dont save every single stream i watch and timecode every single URL just to prove it to people.

Third, the downfall of gaming really is when Mods are brought to consoles because developers will get sloppy knowing modders will pick up the slack all the time which ruins the games, not to mention that consoles are still so many leagues behind PC in terms of playerbase andlegit playability, nothing can beat a good mouse and keyboard gameplay, hell take Battlefield, good on Console, amazing on PC because of the level of skill people have and the edge you can have with better equipment.

I used to be console lover till i started getting into PC gaming a lot more, now i prefer PC over any console all day everyday.
