DaC conducted an interview Aleksey Tchestnikh, Lead Designer of Targem's upcoming Hard Truck. It's a fairly interesting read and reveals some things about Hard Truck that do not sound very appealing:<blockquote>Firstly, I have to ask: how did you come up with the idea of a free-form game based on a post-apocalyptic earth where your method of transport is a truck? It's an idea that's never been done before...
The idea was in the air, asking to be fulfilled. The destroyed world, the new generations of people seized by the same passions, huge metal monsters bringing death and destruction – what can be a better game material?
Post apocalypse is a setting where everything is possible. Yet, it bears some resemblance to the familiar world.
(...)
So what's the game's focus? Combat? Trade?
The focus of the game is the spectacular combats on armored trucks with stunning special effects, realistic physics and damage system. The player will trade to earn money for new upgrades and weapons and to fight stronger enemies, to put it simple. But apart from combat and trade, the game has a strong RPG element. The player will follow the plot, communicate with numerous NPC and accomplish various quests.</blockquote>Link: interview on DaC
