Great video, well done! Just saw your comment on our page :) This track and all its versions.. a true rabbit hole! -Michel
23:24 crazy shots, this must have been so much work!!

[@VirtuaIceMan]

Thanks! It was actually not that time consuming to pull together in the end, but took about an hour and half to render the film! More on the way in future...

[@PipsqueakGamesHQ]

Quality vid! Very interesting to see how different games attempt to capture the same real-world environment. Even just seeing how each one handles foliage rendering and lighting is quite interesting.

[@VirtuaIceMan]

Thanks, I tried to take all videos around June/July midday, if the games had a year/date selection

[@Daniel__Nobre]

Awesome video!

[@VirtuaIceMan]

I've started work on the sequel...

Awesome :)

[@Daniel__Nobre]

Next track? Monaco? :)

[@VirtuaIceMan]

Definitely not; I added up how many games I'd have to cover and it's at least 75 games! I'm keeping these videos to specific tracks, some well-known, some less so 🙂

[@Daniel__Nobre]

@@VirtuaIceMan A shame, I love that track. But I understand your standpoint. Maybe the focus could be just the games that have the top 10 most accurate representation? Just an idea. Anyway I really like the format, so any track is going to be fun for me :)

[@VirtuaIceMan]

@@Daniel__Nobre I'm thinking of doing the opposite actually: Top 5 Worst Versions of some tracks 😂 something like that

[@georgesummer536]

6:48 - not mine 🤣
I don't like this sim at all, imo Unreal Engine isn't good for racing games at all since Rennsport also has similar issues

[@user-bp5py6bh3g]

Random, but do you happen to have V8 Challenge 2002?

[@VirtuaIceMan]

The Dice/EA game? Yes, it's in my Every PC F1 Game playlist already (as has a bonus F1 car)

[@user-bp5py6bh3g]

@@VirtuaIceMan Ah I see, neat!

[@Antidepressiva1980]

Thank you for your time and effort. I enjoyed watching it. ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪

Where’s GranTurismo Sport?

[@VirtuaIceMan]

It's not a PC game
