Nixian Channel Description:
We’re lifelong video game enthusiasts with a passion for showing the world how our favorite hobby has grown with us, from individual series to industry-wide retrospectives.
We put significant time and creative effort into each one of our videos, including research, digging into archives, recording voiceovers, and editing. Every video takes as many as 10 hours to produce, because we strive to give our fans consistent, high-quality content.
Our popular “Evolution of...” series goes far beyond simply presenting gameplay footage. We take the time to show how a video game property - its gameplay, character designs, graphics, sound direction, etc. - have evolved over time. We include unique voiceover work on each video to enhance the viewing experience.
People have been playing video games for decades. In that time, we’ve gone from moving a white line up and down to block a moving pixel, to participating in full-fledged, painstakingly rendered real-time battles with people all over the world. We help older gamers look back on how these experiences have changed throughout their lives, and new gamers to understand the broader context of the series they’re playing for the first time today.
The video game medium never stops growing, and we’ll never stop chronicling its evolution.
Editing and voice-over were made by me. - เกม

people in the 86: dayum this game look so realistic
It wasn't about being realistic ,more about haveing fun on a gaMe for 20 mins . And then jump in your real car
@@SpeedomusicSM right i don't think anyone could logically play for to long back than unlike now people casually game all day
God I’m gonna age myself...used to go spend a couple of hours once a week going to the roller rink to play Excite Bike, Spy Hunter, Hang On and a multitude of others. To a 6yr old in ‘85 it had a semi-realism to it...but more like playing a cartoon. Was a teen when wipeout and gran tourismo came out and it actually felt real...playing some of this gens games with my kids blows all of that stuff away.
@@RoninFett It must have been awesome to witness all the evolution by yourself. I wish I was a bit older...

I can't believe you omitted Daytona USA. That game was just jaw-dropping when it first came out.
And that soundtrack... Daytooooonaaaaa
100% , Daytona USA one of the most significant racers of all time.
They omitted Lotus Esprit Turbo Challenge. This was a freakin good game.
As I understand it, more money (in gross takings) was dropped into Daytona machines than any other arcade game in history (it had a very long streak of popularity) so it really belongs in this list. I'm older so preferred Out Run, but Daytona was just as historically important. Sega was so good at making racing games back in the day.
Daytona USA was segas best racing game

How incredibly popular was Outrun?? Nearly 40 years later and it's pretty much still a household name
And still one of THE best soundtrack to any game.... #splashwave
Frankly I have never heard about it (born 1984), but watching this I think the graphics is just amazing for the period.
I loved the game, although I was too young to drive or play IRL. I was only 8, and iirc there was a pedal on the arcade machine, so you had to manage that and drive. So I mostly enjoyed watching others play.
But it was a super impressive game at the time.
Man....pole position, hang-on and outrun was pure childhood nostalgia for me. But some of those NFS games really took me back too and are some of the all tine best racers imo
My neighbor’s dad was a console mechanic and all the kids and even adults would play games that were “being fixed” in his home studio. Gaming wasn’t my thing but I loved Pole Position and Hang-on!

The way they made "3D" racing games on 2D technology is pretty impressive. Nice video 😊
the stuff we have today is still 2d technology
we don't play games on holograms, it still uses a flat monitor
@@2fifty533 That's true, but the "virtual world" actually has 3-axis. Back then it was 2-axis, no Z plane. Just 2-axis images being redrawn over and over to create a 3D appearance. Cool right? 🤷
@@mcscratchey the 3rd axis is just an illusion
You call 3D cool? Did developers washed your mind? What happened? Forgot about the childhood experience? Forgot how pixels were entertaining? Disappointed! A huge disappointment! Ah yes, cuz now you have a job and you became rich from your big salary and you have no problem paying millions of dollars to get premium racing games, GREAT work.
Thats what im thinking too! Nowadays, creating 3D Games are easier than ever, but i guess they all had to be made by scratch back then without using an engine. I wouldnt know because i wasnt born that time but still pretty impressive!

I did that same thing
Wow, look what have video games become bro
Sega Rally was pure joy when you nailed the corners perfectly.
80's were just different, men
They had the spirit of the arcades even outside the arcades; there was also the excitement of the news, so that the arcades were full of energy.
No other times will ever be like that
1986 OUTRUN is unmatchable
The problem was that it costed the double of the other games, and as a child, you had to choose between quantity and quality of the games
But I remember also the first three, which lasted some years at the arcades here in Italy 🇮🇹
Among them, 1982 POLE POSITION is the best and the most vivid memory, very close to Outrun
But also 1985 HANG ON !! 🤤
Jesus, how many memories ....
Hang on was one of 3 games built into the first sega master systems b4 they changed it with V2 removing those games and replacing them with Alex the kid. I’d loved being a kid in the 80’s

Interesting how no mention of Mario Kart but there was of Sonic racing. And outside of NFS, Forza and Grand Turismo it’s one of the last standing racing franchises. Also after about mid 2000s graphics really only improved the environments/world.

I'm 43 and I still game over 8 hours a day 😂. I mostly play FPS now but I definitely grew up playing all these games. Also had Atari 2600, ColecoVision and every PC game you could imagine because my mom was a huge gamer and my uncle was/is a game developer. I also got to play test Doom and Wolfenstein when I was younger when they were in development. Also Prince of Persia. Great memories 😀

Most Wanted and Hor Puisuit for me. But honestly the 2005 version on Need for Speed is still so beautiful compare to even modern game now
Need for Speed Prostreet for me
@@TDX_Non-StopGrinder and Need For Speed Shift.
Yes I loved those games as a kid!
Loved this little trip down memory lane and you got some good ones- however- Leaving out Cruisin' USA was a huge shock- that arcade game was a revolution for it's time, and made several sequels both in arcade and on console. F-Zero was a surprise, but Mario Kart 64 should have been included also, that game sold millions and is still played today! Lastly, Forza 2 Motorsports. I grew up on the Gran Turismo series, but forza added so much customization like paint and decals and aftermarket hoods/spoilers, it set itself apart. Kinda fun seeing the advances in the late 80's / early 90's into 3D. I cherish those years, as they really were the last era of the arcades. Now arcades are basically casinos for children. Anyways, thanks for the vid. But Cruisin' USA c'mon!!! 🤣

Back in 1985 playing Ultima III on my Atari 800 I could not imagine the technogical advances in computer games that would result in games like Skyrim and Red Dead Redemption 2.

I love how in the old games yer going 200mph but the background never gets any closer!
I've always wondered what maked nfs mw so popular and iconic, evan till this day, but now seeing this video it makes a lot of sence to me, nfs underground in 2003 was the first video game to actually look like a real racing game, but nfs mw in 2005? Total game changer, the quality of the game, the sound, the animation, the story, everything in this game is a complete masterpiece and disruptive, no wonder it's stays popular even till this day...
Such fun police chases, they ought to do an expansion with another ginormous map or two for that one...
NFS Hot Pursuit on PS2 was the first game changer. Undergrounds didn't come out till fast and furious
05 nfs mw was a perfect game in every way.
I'm thinking of Indy Car Racing by Papyrus, somewhere around '95 or so. I spent a great deal of time racing around the Laguna Seca racetrack, and for the time, I thought that this was a great PC game - lots of realism... a great step up from Pole Position; another one of my faves.
2005 was the game changing year ❣️
2003

Nah I think it’s more like 2008 or 2009 just cause that’s when the graphic standards really spiked
@@joeswanson9008 Actually its 2010 and up when HD 2K, and 4K became popular... 2009 and earlier graphics are trash compared to display of 8K display in 2018 and newer racing games..
2004
2003 Need for Speed Underground is an insane Glow up.
2002-2003, the biggest step
Yes, it is. Such a quantum leap.
Race drivers use these simulations to practice the track they're going to race the next week
I am absolutely certain that Hard Drivin came out before 1989. I was playing it before I started Real driving in 1987. What it lacked in graphics it WAY made up for in very realistic physics and dynamics. The inputs were very analog. Loved that "game".
Hard Drivin was awesome, the mistake most people made they would just floor it and lose control on the turns before the loop and try and make the loop not realising it actually had a proper throttle to control the speed and a proper brake. Most driving games didn’t have a throttle so that’s why people only knew to floor it. As soon as you learned to control the speed of the car by throttling it and use the brake you could run multiple laps. I figured that game out early on and laughed at people losing quarters by constantly flooring it. By far my favourite game of that era
I would have put it a year or two earlier, but Wikipedia confirms that it hit the arcades in February 1989, with the cabinet costing 10,000 dollars. That simulator technology with textured polygons, the force feedback steering wheel and the 4-way gear shift didn't come cheap!
@@AutPen38 Wiki's got it wrong. I wasn't even living in the town that had the arcade where I played in 1989. I moved the summer after graduating high school in 1988.
@@mmodtomic7119 I suspect your memory is playing tricks on you in one of those 'Mandela effect' kind of ways. The wiki article has some solid references to news/magazine articles of the time. 'Computer & Video Games' magazine, for example, listed it as the 4th best arcade game of 1989 (just behind Sega's Super Monaco GP and Namco's Winning Run), while there's also a link to 'Game Machine's' listing in the June 1, 1989 issue when it was the second most successful upright/cockpit arcade cabinet of the month. That same year, Geoff Crammond's 'Stunt Car Racer' (which was partly based on Hard Drivin') was released on home computers like the C64. My memory of that era is a bit of a blur too. There are definitely games that were released before others that I recall being "newer" because I didn't encounter them until later.
@@AutPen38 I simply didn't live in that town where I "played" Hard Drivin' in 1989. I graduated in 1988 and moved that summer. Only possible way for all of us to be right is perhaps that arcade received a prototype or preproduction model.

Wow! That was insane. I'm 45, and I've just watched the evolution of gaming that I actually lived.
I started with a ZX Spectrum, then got an Atari, then the Sega master system, Sega megadrive, Nintendo 1 and so on.
