Spintires vs mudrunner

[RKArledge]

So spintires is 15$ and spintires mudrunner is 30$ is it worth the money for mudrunner? And could someone give me a side by side list of the differences?

[Legion]

The main difference is that Mudrunners is still being supported (new map came out today :D), Spintires is abandoned. Here is a simple breakdown of what Mudrunner has...which spintires had none of....iirc.
* Stream workshop
* bigger maps, new maps
* challenge game mode
* multiplayer saves
* weather
* multi-device support eg, wheels etc
* it's only half price for owners of the original.

AEduit with more info- A much better run down of the differences between them both. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edi3r4oYjIM

WRONG:


-Mudrunner maps are 20% smaller than old Spintires

-Steamworkshop for Trucks(etc) was already present in Spintires

-There was already "weather" (without any effect) in Spintires

-50% sale for owners of old Spintires is long over

So, currently you get a 50/50 upgraded Spintires for double the prize. Many trucks from old Spintires lost a lot of upgrades, they even cut out the crane from Spintires, Trucks can't change wheels anymore, only very few trucks can deliever long logs now, etc etc....

The new free dlc is nice, but we are still missing the biggest and most important promise from our "dear" Pavel, WORKSHOP SUPPORT FOR MAPS!!!

That was, what they are promising since release of Mudrunner, still there is not even an eta...

If they manage to implement this in 2018 buy Mudrunner THEN, else don't support this damn lazy Dev!

Yea i 100% agree with you currently i would say tha old spintires is better cause there are more mods or content in general to have fun with vs mudrunner which has a bit of content and some better visual effects..... so in the end it depends on your prefence if you want to play one now you need to pick between A LOT OF CONTENT and not so good graphics but decent (spintires original) OR a little content and GOOOD graphics (spintires mudrunner) ...Then again there is a 3rd option sorta risky tho :D wait it out like 3 months or so until there is map support in Workshop and some other fun and different mods (possibly even changing tires if the modders find or devs add a way) jeeeesh that was long but i hope it helped you out :D FYI: i have both versions if i had just bought spintires i would currently play the original even if it crashes every 6hrs, but since ive had the OG for a while, im currently play mudrunner :)

-80% now worth it!

In my opinion it was worth it before but if you are reccommending which one to buy then yea id said at this point of time mudrunner is the better choice.

if you are trying to prove mudrunner is better with that article then i totally disagree the only thing mud has going for it is good graphics and its not abandoned... YES in the FUTURE it will probs be the better game but CURRENTLY the original is better in my opinion as I stated before there is a ♥♥♥♥ load more content in the OG. In the end i guess it comes downt yo prefrence tho :D

[wim1234]

i play happily both and i dont need the workshop to add mods.

[Sol]

can you have mutliplayer saves on original spintires?

[Disarray _]

mmm this topic is not quite accurate anymore ( my statements i mean) rn mud is the better game in most ways and sorry but i cant remember
In mud there are multi saves
in OG i think there was

[marv]

I find the original game better. I find it more simulative, harder and realistic.
Mudrunner is a joke in comparison and it's still affected by crashes: a problem that I had rarely with Spintires.
In my opinion Mudrunner is a dumbed down version of the original game. The two main problems for me are that the cars can't mount different tire compounds and that the addons don't have weight. In Spintires if you select an addon that weights 200 kilos, it lowers the car body, affecting the physics.

Isn't this still a thing though? If you take a small vehicle and add something heavy to it you can see the suspension compress a bit. It's not much but it's there.
Might just be a visual though, but since the game is a physics simulation I doubt it.

[mud]

you fellas are correct, adding an add-on will add weight. also when you fill say a cistern it will add even more weight as you add fuel to it.

mudrunner is not a dumbed down version. if anything it is the other way around, but i will agree mud runner is easier to play than spintires. we lost features and gained features between the two.

really the biggest thing between the two is one is no longer being updated while the other is still being updated and a second game in the works.

i have a love for the original game as well as the new mudrunner. i have my complaints and praises for both, but in the end i would have to choose mudrunner, because it is still active and current.

[Disarray _]

i Sort of agree with 8up Local..... BUT the OG spintires for me crashes daily compared to mudrunner which crashes maybe once a month. and yes i did reinstall it get the patches for the OG aswelll still get a ♥♥♥♥ load of crashes so i dont agree with gianluca there. And in terms of difficulty you cant even get stuck in the mud in murunner whereas in the original its a different story. Also for me the bad parts would be Mod variety (wheel addons, wheather etc) and the difficulty since you cant get stuck in mud :(. BUT STILL i choose mudrunner since it crashes less, has better graphics and gets more content right now.

If you truly Like the game though then i still reccommend you to get both! they have their ups and downs but if you combine them they are AWEWSOME :)

Sorry if i didnt make much sence....

no,theres a difference,its visible
ever tried loading logs on zil 130 or even loading the uaz on its carriage?

i think mudrunner is the successor of spintires,and i like that pavel moved on instead of just continuing work with Oovee
here some pros,oke?

a) The physics are different for mud. No longer you-touch-once-u-ded,but rather if you go very slow you can even make it through really deep mud. Probably because of the removal of selectable wheels
b)Map support in workshop
c)New maps (Dlc)
d)American Wilds (Adds american trucks to the game,i think you will enjoy it if you are american,but dont criticise it too heavily. I like driving in extreme situations with non offroad trucks.)
e)More addons and more trucks
f) More purposes for x truck (B-66 now can carry fuel and repair,Kirovets now can hook up many trailers and can load logs on trucks if its addon is used right)
g)Surface looks more autumn-timed which i like (and maybe you will too)
h)More outside mod support (remember spintires plus? that also exists for mudrunner,but i recommend you DONT install it. for me it ruins the fun to be able to cheat,but if you want to experiment,go ahead :DDD)

cons

a)No selectable wheels (rip entire purpose of zil 130 xd)
b)Different gearbox design (No longer like 3 on a tree,but rather now a cube)
c)Trucks are nerfed (b-130 aka zil 130 no longer owns difflock,theres a seperate version of c-255 aka kraz which only has switchable difflock and no allwheels,then theres more stuff and more stuff)
d)Toxic community (Probably half of the people here are against Pavel,the worst ive met thought HE (Pavel) STOLE HIS OWN GAME XD)
Dont ask me where i got d) from,it literally was in a post where someone complained that pavel stole code from spintires for use in mudrunner and then Allozorro asked him how that even is possible.
e)Mods can break your game and the game can crash at times (Runtime Error=No more space left for the game to keep running at that moment,were still 32 bit but i think theres a 64 bit version) (Not every game is flawless)

and yeah


im late but idc
I will tell you a story.
Once upon a time,Pavel moved to Focus to keep on working on Spintires,now with a different name called Mudrunner.
Upon release of mudrunner,some people did not like it,but people who preordered the game (like me) loved it. Because some features no existerino,the ones who did not like it used it as a consequence of this game.
But keep in mind:
They needed to keep the "spintires" trademark BECAUSE of oovee. So some things had to be changed (one example is karr and trucc grills.)
Some features were added over time,but some were promised yet didnt arrive (For example mirrors,where the thought was it would be hard to replicate the world in 2 mirrors.)
So the ones who hate mudrunner used THAT as a consequence.
Then people who hated mudrunner started with stuff like "Pavel did x for the money" and "Pavel shouldve x x x x x". People who are loyal to Pavel and ignore his past with Oovee,try to change the peoples minds. But some people are stubborn and dont change at all. Like entitled people,ya know?
Everytime something new was introduced,there were always salty people around. I can understand that American wilds mightve been a dissapointment,but hey! Now you got more vehicles to challenge yourself around with,aswell as 2 more maps. Always look on the positive side. Not everything can be done,but this is an entire team of devs doing the more important features.
I think the problem is that people look and search Pavels history too hard,then try to bully him with it,and kill the spirit of the goodies who just play the game nicely and try to defend him.
(The timebomb accusal was because Pavel tried to make an antipiracing measure to keep Pirates from being able to play Spintires. That was many years ago. Some yelled it was intentional that he released it for ALL versions ((even legit versions) and some said it was an accident. Personally,i believe it was an accident. Maybe there was some programming flaw that accidentally read the state of "pirated" always as true somehow. It got fixed VERY quickly but else there was a controvercy about it for a month or some weeks.)

Now that Mudrunner 2 is on the way and the fact that they want to share infos,i recommend you prepare yourself for World War 3.
