Is ETS 2 still worth buying?

[gd6noob]

ETS 2 has been released for some time but never really played it or ATS.
Will there be an ETS 3? If there is, should I wait for that? There isn't much information on this.

THERE WILL NEVER BE AN ETS3

[gd6noob]

Oh really, is this for certain?

[RealLocutus]

Never say never - but there will not be an ETS3 in the near future.

[K3vin]

Yes. Sorry for you.

Yes it is still worth buying, SCS are constantly updating the game (engine) and new (paid) dlc (maps, trucks, accessories) are still added as well as older parts of the map(s) being updated.
Though the game is indeed from 10 years ago, the current version doesn't look that old, with the exception that the really old parts of the base map are in dire need of an update, (Austria was recently done and currently they are working on Switzerland) but they will come.

They are currently also working on moving towards DX12, but there's no time frame when that will be finished.

[gd6noob]

well.. haha I guess I don't have to wait. Graphics could be updated a little..

Thanks all for responding.

there will be a ets3 in the future its just the matter of timing a game can only go so far before a new one will need to be released

This game is still developed and new updates, features and free content are continuously added. The development did not stop ten years ago when the game was first released. Unlike several other companies SCS do not sell "slightly updated" games by changing name to ETS [number].

So yes, if the game was worth it back then and you like driving virtual trucks, it is still worth it.

Just play the demo and decide, if it's worth that few bucks for _you_ when the game is on sale every now and then. You can also get an insane cheap bundle (containing base game and selection of DLC) from legal key traders outside of steam.

Wherever you take that info from. As licenses, etc. all are bound to a game called "Euro Truck Simulator 2" and would need to be renegotiated, it is very unlikely that there will be an ETS3 in the foreseeable future.
However, as already was written, the game is constantly improved and there were some major technology steps. So if ETS2 was from another publisher or not subject to this extend of licensing, the current version would probably be ETS4 or ETS5 already. We got a new skybox/lighting, we got DX11 support, etc.

I like the ETS2. Since 10 years Support, New Content for free and some stuff for Money, many, many Mods, a good Community... yes ETS2 is it worth to buy. Every time again.

when they get the license for that yes

And the manpower to write the new drive. Until now we only have simulation models for diesel.

Even SCS update often, I wait for better engine sound 11 years have passed. Other other games from the 90s to 2012 have better sound with up to 700 GT, Forza and NFS or GTA.
REWORK MAP gives worse fps, without mod the game is boring when you have problems with traffic and bugs. These are not available on older versions. New graphics make you tired.
