Trucking Hell!

When we posted about Bus Simulator 2008, a few people commented with questions as to who exactly is the audience for such a game. The placid simulation of moving humans from stop to stop seems such a niche interest. Put it all to one side, because here's the preview footage of Euro Truck Simulator!

"Euro Truck Simulator offers a truly immersive simulation environment. The player can pan around the cabin, just as if they were actually sitting at the wheel."

Don't think I'm the only one throwing around exclamation marks about this. Oh no. The press release accompanying today's trailer goes on to say:

"Euro Truck Simulator is a European first - a truck simulation game in a European setting, with European long haul trucks!"

What are the chances they're being ironic?
