It feels like NFS Most wanted games were always ahead of their time in terms of graphics (and also gameplay but I didn't play them all so can't say that for sure)
@@Absolute_MaddLadd Actually I'm aware. I don't feel the same way about NFS Underground or any other NFS games. I'm not saying those games aren't good, but all I'm saying is that both the Most Wanted games always seemed way ahead of their time. And yes, NFS MW 2005 is the best racing game ever! The vibe, the mechanics, the story, the cars, the challenges... everything. My favorite element by far are the police chases. I recall having genuine thrill when the cops were chasing me. It was especially fun because I literally never used the time break mechanic lmao. And the feeling when you evade cops are 20 to 30 minutes of pursuit hell freakin yeah! Oh, and... The story was high-key sick af. Man I could gush over this game non-stop, but you get the idea
Thats because you can only do so much for something to look photo realistic In the 90s the visuals were so bad that they had so much to improve on Right now honestly there is a thin line between actual real life and and these games on a visual perspective so most of the games just improve on the physics and gameplay
Yeah 3D gaming transitioning happened in the mid-1990s, but it still took until the mid-late 2000s for it to look smooth and less blocky/blurred/pixelated. You can see in late 90s & early 00s games, graphics were very basic and lacked detail.
same as the technology these games running on. From big transistors to a silicon chip. I really feel like everything important was invented in the past and today we´re only improving these things. :) i think the next step is to personally get in the game as a charakter just a little bit more realistic than the VR stuff from today.
well it's actually 4 years (they said). But the first trailer release in 2013 so it looks like 7 years. And what we can expect from a whole new project that can't reuse anything from their previous magnificent games (witcher series). Unlike Rockstar, making GTA 5 or RDR is from developing their previous project.

It’s strange how graphic quality varied in games back in the 2000’s. Some games such as NFS Underground were ahead of it’s time, then you had games that were not smooth at all.
Perdeu a essência dos títulos anteriores... O Driver: San Francisco vendeu tão pouco que a Atari nem teve condições de fazer um novo Driver há mais de uma década.
I imagine it will be very minor upgrades since what we have now is already so photorealistic that the changes are barely noticeable as we go through each year. The curve is an exponential one - Throughout the 90s and 2000s each game seemed a massive improvement over its predecessor (GTA SA to 4 for example), then kind of stagnated in 2010s (GTA 4 to 5 wasn't as big a leap as SA to 4) so now even a small graphics improvement requires a lot more processing power and more powerful GPU
@@prashanthraghavendran2628 you're just focusing on visuals tho. I think it's going to be a fully sensory experience, ie smell, touch, even taste at some point (I just realized taste and smell are pretty much the same but still 🙃)
Will videogames as we see it will still be revelant around 2050? I'm not sure.. . I think we will be somewhere else, the logic would be VR is the next step but who know!?
Gta 4 had some of the best driving physics. Vehicles would deform realistically in a crash, and Niko would sometimes fly through the windshield in a head on collision.
one thing that has stayed the same throughout since 1989 is the lack of sync of speed in correlation with acceleration. Meaning the car doesn't move as fast as it sounds in the video game. Like going 30mph while engine sound as if its at 120mph.
idk i loved that game when i was 7, i have like maybe 3000 hours on ps3 (also i tried this game on PSVita few months ago and i felt very nostalgic about those days)
Snowrunner graphics, physics, tyres interactions with mud, water and snow is pure awesome. As opposed to fast racing games, this slow driving game is actually meditative.
97 - 99 is the best era of racing gameplay in history imo. Graphics nowadays are absolutely insane and UE5 has broken down some serious barriers but theres just a timelessness to the 90's games we'll never really recreate. I mean if you showed someone the last of us part 2 in 1997 they'd probably freak out but someone in 2022 whos never played carmageddon would do the same thing for different reasons if they gave it a chance i think.
I am 44, from 1978. When my dad had his first PC, i guess 1983 or 1984. I could do paratrooper, pacman and bouncing babies games that still captivated enough , but some 2 y it was to do spreadsheets on at home, lol. So it had a lousy EGA videocard in it with the basic 32 colors or something, later a VGA and then Super VGA, whining every day helps! . But the real racegames for me (other than maybe those early f1 games, Grand Prix Circuit, it was pretty hard with your tires constantly overheating.....the real racing game I spend hundreds of hours I guess, is Test Drive, I looked it up and it['s from 1987, so I probably had it a year later, copied from friends ;) Kings-, Police-, Castle- & Space--Quest type of games already looked better, Secret of Monkey Island, Larry, Winter Challenge (Olympics) and California Games as well but Test Drive II looked too much Test Drive I, to my liking. When you look up Test Drive 3 from 1990 looks so much better. Sorry, it's a bit confusing what I wrote, but I accidently removed some text and there was no undo option ;(
@@nlx78 I looked up test drive and it looks so similar to a game i had on the SNES called race drivin' The first person perspective, soundtrack etc. Also released in 1990 but now i see it's clearly a copy of test drive. I remember it being so unforgiving haha. I suppose the reason i consider 97-99 the best era would be because i was born in 88 and age 10 is probably the best gaming time a kid has, no work, no relationships, no life and love distractions etc.
also was impressive graphically compared to ones before them also the suspension cars before that moved like they are on rails with 0 suspension travel... in the other hand in gta 4 cars were like they are on jello and the suspension was horrificly made the cars could top themsleves in in any corner in any speed... whoever amde that hasn't drove or sit in a car in their life...
This is incredible when you compare 1989 with 1999. It's like hey, only 10 years later, and differences in terms of graphics are enormous. I can only tell we won't experience that huge leap in terms of graphics in only 10 years anymore. Now look at the 2012 vs 2022 game - except of higher resolution available, graphics are basically the same.
Streets of Sim City and Sim Copter were fascinating as you could import cites from Sim City 2000, and play them in 3D. 4 months after this video, Forza Horizon 5 is the new benchmark of open world driving.
That game didn’t even have a clutch but it was meant to have one, So every shift makes this horrible lurching noise unless you had a wheel with pedals…or used auto which is lame. Couldn’t play for more than a couple days. Loved the 2 hr races tho.
I like how the early 2010's games are a delicate mix of the 2000's and the 2020's. I know this comment sounds redundant, but its cool to observe this graphical transitionary period. To put it another way, I own a '96 BMW coupe. Sometimes, I'll glance at the car and be like "it's a mix of the retro boxy styling of the 80s and the modern sleekness of the 2000s". It's mesmerizing.
BeamNG Drive is at the top of my list, I played the tech demo for the first time in 2014 and have been playing it ever since. It focuses a lot on crash physics but man the driving and vehicle modding is addicting, I have at least 770 hours of it on Steam.
it’s hard to comprehend that, once upon a time, every single one of these games made us go, “These graphics are AWESOME!”
No one, absolutely no one said that about "City Driving Simulator" or whatever the name was.

And yes, NFS MW 2005 is the best racing game ever! The vibe, the mechanics, the story, the cars, the challenges... everything. My favorite element by far are the police chases. I recall having genuine thrill when the cops were chasing me. It was especially fun because I literally never used the time break mechanic lmao. And the feeling when you evade cops are 20 to 30 minutes of pursuit hell freakin yeah!
Oh, and... The story was high-key sick af. Man I could gush over this game non-stop, but you get the idea
@@astyutechick7980 Nfs most wanted "THE" game, not most wanted the games plural. There's only 1 real most wanted.
Glad we are all on the same page. 05 Most wanted is a game i would play today and probably have a good time.
GTA 3 was
The greatest evolution from pixly games to a true 3d experience seemed to happen during the 90s. All progression after that is fine tuning.
Thats because you can only do so much for something to look photo realistic
In the 90s the visuals were so bad that they had so much to improve on
Right now honestly there is a thin line between actual real life and and these games on a visual perspective
so most of the games just improve on the physics and gameplay
Yeah 3D gaming transitioning happened in the mid-1990s, but it still took until the mid-late 2000s for it to look smooth and less blocky/blurred/pixelated. You can see in late 90s & early 00s games, graphics were very basic and lacked detail.
same as the technology these games running on. From big transistors to a silicon chip. I really feel like everything important was invented in the past and today we´re only improving these things. :) i think the next step is to personally get in the game as a charakter just a little bit more realistic than the VR stuff from today.
Fine-tuning my ass

well it's actually 4 years (they said). But the first trailer release in 2013 so it looks like 7 years.

Unlike Rockstar, making GTA 5 or RDR is from developing their previous project.

Imagine what games will be like in another 35 years. Hard to fathom
GTA in VR
I imagine it will be very minor upgrades since what we have now is already so photorealistic that the changes are barely noticeable as we go through each year. The curve is an exponential one - Throughout the 90s and 2000s each game seemed a massive improvement over its predecessor (GTA SA to 4 for example), then kind of stagnated in 2010s (GTA 4 to 5 wasn't as big a leap as SA to 4) so now even a small graphics improvement requires a lot more processing power and more powerful GPU
@@prashanthraghavendran2628 true

07:24 TDU feels so ahead of its time, anything before looks almost like pre-historic
Yes it is
one thing that has stayed the same throughout since 1989 is the lack of sync of speed in correlation with acceleration. Meaning the car doesn't move as fast as it sounds in the video game. Like going 30mph while engine sound as if its at 120mph.

It's nice how old games are better for modding.
97 - 99 is the best era of racing gameplay in history imo. Graphics nowadays are absolutely insane and UE5 has broken down some serious barriers but theres just a timelessness to the 90's games we'll never really recreate. I mean if you showed someone the last of us part 2 in 1997 they'd probably freak out but someone in 2022 whos never played carmageddon would do the same thing for different reasons if they gave it a chance i think.
I am 44, from 1978. When my dad had his first PC, i guess 1983 or 1984. I could do paratrooper, pacman and bouncing babies games that still captivated enough , but some 2 y it was to do spreadsheets on at home, lol. So it had a lousy EGA videocard in it with the basic 32 colors or something, later a VGA and then Super VGA, whining every day helps!
. But the real racegames for me (other than maybe those early f1 games, Grand Prix Circuit, it was pretty hard with your tires constantly overheating.....the real racing game I spend hundreds of hours I guess, is Test Drive, I looked it up and it['s from 1987, so I probably had it a year later, copied from friends ;)
Kings-, Police-, Castle- & Space--Quest type of games already looked better, Secret of Monkey Island, Larry, Winter Challenge (Olympics) and California Games as well but Test Drive II looked too much Test Drive I, to my liking. When you look up Test Drive 3 from 1990 looks so much better.
Sorry, it's a bit confusing what I wrote, but I accidently removed some text and there was no undo option ;(
@@nlx78 I looked up test drive and it looks so similar to a game i had on the SNES called race drivin'
The first person perspective, soundtrack etc. Also released in 1990 but now i see it's clearly a copy of test drive.
I remember it being so unforgiving haha. I suppose the reason i consider 97-99 the best era would be because i was born in 88 and age 10 is probably the best gaming time a kid has, no work, no relationships, no life and love distractions etc.
@@hildapataki5072 yeah. The feeling as a kid is wonderful. Like scary movies being actually scary. New year night or gaming yes.

also was impressive graphically compared to ones before them also the suspension cars before that moved like they are on rails with 0 suspension travel... in the other hand in gta 4 cars were like they are on jello and the suspension was horrificly made the cars could top themsleves in in any corner in any speed... whoever amde that hasn't drove or sit in a car in their life...
This is incredible when you compare 1989 with 1999. It's like hey, only 10 years later, and differences in terms of graphics are enormous. I can only tell we won't experience that huge leap in terms of graphics in only 10 years anymore. Now look at the 2012 vs 2022 game - except of higher resolution available, graphics are basically the same.
Midnight club: LA will hold a special place in my heart as the number 1 open world driving game

That game didn’t even have a clutch but it was meant to have one, So every shift makes this horrible lurching noise unless you had a wheel with pedals…or used auto which is lame. Couldn’t play for more than a couple days. Loved the 2 hr races tho.
I like how the early 2010's games are a delicate mix of the 2000's and the 2020's. I know this comment sounds redundant, but its cool to observe this graphical transitionary period. To put it another way, I own a '96 BMW coupe. Sometimes, I'll glance at the car and be like "it's a mix of the retro boxy styling of the 80s and the modern sleekness of the 2000s". It's mesmerizing.
