Montana Discussion Thread

[Optional Features]

lol, that's the route Alaskan Truck Sim took. Terrible driving, horrible physics? No problem! Hunt for food!

I think that some news related to Montana may be released later, not necessarily by force before the premiere. In addition, the DLC has been over 300 MB in size for 9 days.

Judging by the picture on Twitter, we will get to see a video of the Montana DLC tomorrow.

Hmmm. Could be the gameplay video. That's on the microsite.

I think there is a difference between game video and stream

[HubercikBercik]

No gameplay from the Montana DLC was published during the recent streams, why do you think we might see gameplay tomorrow?

We have not gotten any gameplay for Montana yet and no streams yet for Montana. Not sure where you're going with this. But Montana is highlighted for 1.45. Its getting pretty close to release and no gameplay video yet even though the microsite shows it. Gameplay and stream can happen simultaneously just like other dlc streams did before they released. Patrik drove Colorado twice (iirc) and I think Nemiro drove Wyoming for gameplay on a stream. I want to say Patrik drove Washington too but I'd have to go check to be sure.

But every dlc has given us gameplay videos. But not all are done on a stream. The two are not the same but both can be done together. We can get gameplay without a stream but if they drive Montana on a stream, obviously both gameplay and stream happen.

Yeah the screenshot on Twitter is from the Montana Mining Industry blog (here pic 3: https://blog.scssoft.com/2022/06/montan ... ustry.html). Since they didn't announce that the stream would be the first gameplay of Montana, it's possible that either a) there will be a gameplay blog posted in the morning with the stream following it, or b) whoever chose that picture for the stream announcement goofed and it won't be in Montana.

@flight50 I understand what publishing pre-release videos of DLC maps is all about. What I meant was why do you think gameplay might be released tomorrow. On the other hand, if the stream is going to be of the Montana DLC I think they would have written about it. There probably won't be anything surprising during tomorrow's stream, I'm expecting more of a drive and chat with the community. Of course I'm hoping the Montana gameplay will be released soon but I prefer to stay realistic.

^It was speculation based on the Twitter link that @halbtollekreatur posted. Twitter and the microsite are amongst the best promotions for Montana SCS could do. Doesn't mean I'm right though, its just a guess is all.

We got achievements, we got open beta. The only thing left is to finish up the microsite blogs which includes the announcement date which could come anywhere from tomorrow up to I'd go at the most, 5 weeks from tomorrow. But again, that's just my speculation.
