Why does ATS look better graphically than ETS2?

[JosiahHudson]

Is it just me or does ATS look better than ETS2 when it comes to graphics?

I cant quite pinpoint it but the lighting and shadows look more realistic, and the scenery is more varied (I have all the ETS2 DLC too)

I try so hard to get into ETS2 but I just cant, it feels so arcadey, the trucks sound like a PS2 game and the graphics look outdatedGoście nie widzą linków. Zarejestruj się aby zobaczyć ukrytą treść.

ATS is being made from scratch with "newer" technology, keep in mind that apart from 3 default states, all other map content is DLC were ETS2 still have vast territories that are seriously outdated even DLC`s key example is Going East which looks like crap they put together ages ago only to make some money on it knowing that a good chunk of players i.e. customers came from Eastern Europe. Other than that ETS2 is really really old and changes in an archaic game engine wont do much.
