I agree that it’s pretty bad compared to the other renditions shown here, but considering how massive The Crew’s map is, the developers were probably more focused on quantity than quality, hence why it doesn’t look as accurate.
Yhea. Another thing that intrigued me is how forza motorsport was looking better with every iteration even though it was the same hardware (xbox 360) nowadays you don't see that kind of progress.
Because in the crew 2 the circuit is in the middle of a HUGE map, its not like its just a circuit, its part of an open world so there is not that many details on every spot
Forza and The Crew are the biggest offenders here imo. TC is just shit while Forza used the same scan from like FM2 up until FM7. Granted they rescanned it for FM8 but still, it's laughable
Yes, also because it's on emulator. And after that, it's always the same Laguna Seca since GT4. No change. Gran Turismo has so bad graphics compare to the other after. Forza Motorsports used the same tracks a lot too (Forza 3 to 5 i would say). But if we watch Laguna Seca in Ride 4 it's pretty amazing.
the jump from the PS1 to PS2 in terms of graphics was probably the last great leap in graphics that we'll see. Even without emulation. We went from wobbly polygons to something that was near photo realistic at times (Especially in GT4)
It's still amazing to me just how accurate GT1 & GT2 were for their time. The corkscrew looks miles better in GT7 or Forza obviously, but the layout remains consistent from GT1/2. So glad I got to experienc those games in their heyday.
Child me would be in awe watching someone take a Viper around that damned corner in gran turismo. That corner and RWD cars were the bane of my existence as a child.
This had me so confused, I thought there used be a bridge mid corner that was removed after 2006. But I didn't find anything about it, I only noticed that it was incorrectly placed after a looong time
they relocated the bridge in 2004 to make more runoff space for motogp. it's funny because you can just about pinpoint the date from when games started to acknowledge the change, and then there's GT PSP still using the recycled GT4 version in 2009.
Having driven Laguna Seca in reality, no video game can duplicate the feeling of going weightless as you enter the corkscrew. Driving there was one of my life's greatest memories.
its normal to happen. It's called Asymptote. When the limit is already stablished (real life graphics) getting closer to it will be less noticeable each time, no matter how much power you throw at it, the limit is already there. The closer you get, the more (exponential) power you need to achieve a noticeable difference.
Law of diminishing returns The closer we get to complete photorealism, the harder it is for graphics to improve even if the hardware improves accordingly
@@kysconot what he was talking about. Dude is saying if they are not different why does it require something better run it. Short story, you’re getting ripped off to buy more hardware.
15:47 GT7 is impeccably accurate to the real thing. I just looked up an onboard lap from an IMSA qualifier and it looks exact. Only thing is I think the real track is way dirtier haha.
NFS Shift is a testament to incredible visual style carrying its design vs just raw graphical performance. Devs did a great job with that game stylistically
I feel the chase camera in the GT series started to get worse from GT4 onwards. It's still the best GT in my opinion, but in GT3, the chase camera still had that semi-drift aspect. You could see the front of the car and check it slip/slide, which gave you a sense of oversteering. The chase camera in GT4 started to feel more fixed, and the movement more artificial. idk
@@Squidward-jv7go As a GT7 player, its still so rigid even at the loosest setting. the GT team is really slow about improving certain things. It took them until GT Sport to improve the damn engine sounds.
In a weird way,the chase camera in the Forza Franchise feels more like an evolution of the GT3 one than the GT4-GT6 one,even giving use of the right stick for a global view (that i find odd that Polyphony took so long to finally use it).
Why would anyone even use the chase camera in Gran Turismo? That's the worst view in any racing game unless youre playing an arcade racer like Mario Kart and Need for Speed.
This is awesome. Going to Laguna for the first time, then racing there was definitely a bucket list item for me. Although there is no feeling quite like barreling down the Corkscrew in real life. I would say Gran Turismo 6 - 7 got it the most accurate.
Maybe it's just me, but I like seeing all the different interpretations of HUD in all these games. You can see it was an after thought in a lot of the earlier gen games, but then developers tried to create their version of a nice looking UI that is accessible to all players. Notice how almost all racing games have the tacho on the bottom right, and the map on the bottom left, unless you're Ubisoft and reverse it with The Crew, or that one Alfa Romeo Challenge game 🤣
Yeah but that’s how you can get through by the corners faster… use the other car’s sides to steer and ricochet around corners. Is it true to real life? No. Did it work in-game, you bet!
0:55 I mean, it took you 49 tries to make the perfect recording of tackling the Corkscrew or what else made you to run a 49 lap time attack in Laguna? :)
Gran Turismo 3 c'est une claque graphique pour l'époque. Ce jeux était incroyable ! Et tellement au dessus du marché qu'il est toujours jouable aujourd'hui et procure autant de sensation !
I hit this corner more in Forza Motorsport 3 than any other racing game. I remember when meta got to the point that the Nissan 300Z was one of the top competing cars if tuned right. But i also held a top 15 lap time with a tuned Evo.
I'm impressed GT2 was able to make it look decent back in '99 while newer games had trouble with it. But then, it's Gran Turismo, so shouldn't be a surprise.
2:11 F355 challenge was an Arcade game that was released in 1999 then ported to Dreamcast in 2000, after Sega pulled the plug on the Dreamcast it was then ported to the PS2 in 2002.

@@zZMaDsKILLSZz-1 No, I don't think that he is saying that. Don't put your own words into other people's mouths. I don't agree with you either. And no, your negative doesn't help and is not welcome here. Better take it elsewhere.
Absolutely. And the sound is consistently good to excellent with each generation. How did Polyphany not figure out the Viper exhaust note until 2017???
I'm glad F355 Challenge was remembered but the Dreamcast version from 2000 looks slightly better than the PS2 version although I suppose the PS2 version was chosen to keep the footage consistent with the third person view seen in the other games considering that the Dreamcast version only has cockpit view (not counting modern hacks that let you play in third person).
Remembered is the wrong word. I had never heard of this game before looking for games for this video. This was my first time playing it. And the PS2 version was simply chosen because it's the platform that I am personally familiar with. I don't have any connection to the Dreamcast platform at all, so using a Dreamcast version of a game that also has a PS2 version is not something that I would ever even consider. But if the Dreamcast version only has cockpit view, then yeah, that obviously would have disqualified it as well. :)
@@reeceschrock396 What makes you assume that I am not able to find one? I haven't even looked for one. It's not a platform that I am currently interested in.
Can somebody tell me why there’s a C8 corvette (2020) in rfactor 2 2013 or did nobody notice? How can there be a newer car in a game from 2013 where that car dint exist at the time 9:41
GT3... I remember the nights spent watching my dad racing 40h endurance races... damn those were the times of the simple yet challenging games. Now all games are so damn complicated yet similar to one another, and you look in the web for guides and builds, and it just makes them more and more the same between themselves
TOCA 2 and GT4 were massive leaps forward for the time. And my favourite game ever, TT2 (GT4 engine). I remember back in 2006 when it launched I played 8 hours a day for 1 month and I checked out track times on forums and early YT. I couldn't find a better time than mne for 3-4 circuits. Trial Mountain was one of them.
I love how Forza 8 went straight back to xbox 360 graphics :D - "build from the ground up" 0:32 and im totally stunned by the looks of this game, i have never heard off! It looks so much better then the others of its time. Also the suspension movement looks great. It took years to reach that level again. 2:37 Toca was also a big surprise and way better looking then others of its time and many that came afterwards. 1:50 And overall the jump from PS1 to PS2 was insane. Aswell as the PS2/xbox to PS3/360 jump, which was just mindblowing. I remember when i was a kid we all couldnt believe how awesome it looks. But then graphics progress really slowed down but the hardware requierements go higher really quick.
So in around 2007 they dug the hill for more spectator area and expanded the runoff. And also started agreeing on what the scoring tower should look like.

I agree that it’s pretty bad compared to the other renditions shown here, but considering how massive The Crew’s map is, the developers were probably more focused on quantity than quality, hence why it doesn’t look as accurate.
The Crew 2 isn't a realistic simulation. Its map is a loose representation of real places, not intended to be 100% accurate or lifelike.
its a really bad game
It’s amazing to see the leap in graphics and sound from 1999 to 2005, and then how little progress we made from 2014 to 2024😂

Definitely.
The way NFS Shift holds up to this day is just phenomenal. Even visually the game manages to look gorgeous even by modern standards.
I loved that game. It was even my first game Platinum.

@@TurboAlice at least Forza had the audacity to make the corkscrew correctly compared to the crew and crew 2
GT2 looks awesome compared to games from the same era. Polyphony really worked on that geometry
Laguna Seca in GT3 also.
Polyphony spent good chunk of the gt2 development in that Track, on modeling/physics. They dedicated hard on it.
It was enhanced by Emulator settings.
@@hudsonjaResolution is upscaled of course, but models and lighting are still the same
Yes, also because it's on emulator. And after that, it's always the same Laguna Seca since GT4. No change. Gran Turismo has so bad graphics compare to the other after.
Forza Motorsports used the same tracks a lot too (Forza 3 to 5 i would say).
But if we watch Laguna Seca in Ride 4 it's pretty amazing.
The Crew games are absolutely criminal when it comes to racing or physics…
you unintentionally made a fantastic showcase of how Video Game Graphics have changed over the last couple decades
The jump in graphics from Gran Turismo 2 to 3 is pretty crazy
Thats why the PS2 console is still the most sold console of all time
Gran Turismo 3 was like a shift from BC to AD , it's the first game that feels modern
It's even larger than this video shows, most games have been inaccurately 'cleaned up' and looked nothing like this at the time they were published 🤯
Emulator bud, it looked good, but nowhere near this
the jump from the PS1 to PS2 in terms of graphics was probably the last great leap in graphics that we'll see. Even without emulation. We went from wobbly polygons to something that was near photo realistic at times (Especially in GT4)
Jesus… the viper at Leguna with the tire screeching is so iconic.. that was literally half of my teenage life
It's still amazing to me just how accurate GT1 & GT2 were for their time. The corkscrew looks miles better in GT7 or Forza obviously, but the layout remains consistent from GT1/2. So glad I got to experienc those games in their heyday.
I grew up near Laguna Seca, and I think GT 1/2 might be the most “true to life” renditions of it I’ve seen here.
I like how you included the left hander after the corkscrew. My favorite track sequence in all of racing.
Bro, i thought the first game was ass. The Crew 2 fucking dropped that bar into the earth holy hell..
Child me would be in awe watching someone take a Viper around that damned corner in gran turismo. That corner and RWD cars were the bane of my existence as a child.
u should play test drive unlimited 2 and cruise in manual in a 2010 viper
Crazy to see how the bridge was along the last turn, and then moved to the small straight just before the last turn out the corkscrew.
The bridge should've been positioned a little bit further forward.
This had me so confused, I thought there used be a bridge mid corner that was removed after 2006. But I didn't find anything about it, I only noticed that it was incorrectly placed after a looong time

I didnt ask for this video, but I'm very glad I watched it
I’ve stood at the corkscrew and IRL it’s absolute madness. The drop is insane.
You can really get an idea of it in GT7 with VR, and weirdly feel the drop almost.
It’s weird how early games flattened out the corkscrew then throughout the early 2000’s some games like Forza made it insanely steep.
Having driven Laguna Seca in reality, no video game can duplicate the feeling of going weightless as you enter the corkscrew. Driving there was one of my life's greatest memories.
I spun out at the top 18 years ago in my old rx7. That first part is more steep than stairs

I love racing games and most of what you showed was like 12 minutes of straight hot garbage and maybe 3 minutes of quality games.
Hope this helps !
@@zZMaDsKILLSZz-1 No, I don't think that he is saying that. Don't put your own words into other people's mouths. I don't agree with you either. And no, your negative doesn't help and is not welcome here. Better take it elsewhere.
Driven this piece of track for years and always adored it. But GT7 in VR I actually felt it!!!... magnificent
Please do more of this
For sure! I also did a few other ones already.

Laguna Seca is my all time favourite race track, and I can't really break it down as to why it is, but it's simply a joy to drive around.
still loving TOCA RD3 and SHiFT 2
The visual of a giant Big Rig racing truck barreling through the Corkscrew is not something I thought I needed, but here we are.
best chasecams - in Forza
Absolutely. And the sound is consistently good to excellent with each generation. How did Polyphany not figure out the Viper exhaust note until 2017???
This definitely brings back some memories.
I'm glad F355 Challenge was remembered but the Dreamcast version from 2000 looks slightly better than the PS2 version although I suppose the PS2 version was chosen to keep the footage consistent with the third person view seen in the other games considering that the Dreamcast version only has cockpit view (not counting modern hacks that let you play in third person).
Remembered is the wrong word. I had never heard of this game before looking for games for this video. This was my first time playing it. And the PS2 version was simply chosen because it's the platform that I am personally familiar with. I don't have any connection to the Dreamcast platform at all, so using a Dreamcast version of a game that also has a PS2 version is not something that I would ever even consider. But if the Dreamcast version only has cockpit view, then yeah, that obviously would have disqualified it as well. :)
Nothing wrong with admitting you aren't able to find an authentic dreamcast OP 😂😂 They are still around
@@reeceschrock396 What makes you assume that I am not able to find one? I haven't even looked for one. It's not a platform that I am currently interested in.
@@ParagleiberI think he was just pulling your leg 😉
@@hoglacy I don't understand what you mean with that.
Can somebody tell me why there’s a C8 corvette (2020) in rfactor 2 2013 or did nobody notice? How can there be a newer car in a game from 2013 where that car dint exist at the time 9:41
Some games keep getting updates with new cars for many years after the original release. Even iRacing from 2008 is still getting new cars.
It’s a little misleading because that’s a new version of rfactor 2, it looked completely different in 2013. Same goes for iRacing
Bruh I thought I was in some sort of paradox for a sec😂
Omg I thought The Crew 1 was the worst possible, but then they really outdid themselves!
GT3... I remember the nights spent watching my dad racing 40h endurance races... damn those were the times of the simple yet challenging games. Now all games are so damn complicated yet similar to one another, and you look in the web for guides and builds, and it just makes them more and more the same between themselves
TOCA 2 and GT4 were massive leaps forward for the time. And my favourite game ever, TT2 (GT4 engine). I remember back in 2006 when it launched I played 8 hours a day for 1 month and I checked out track times on forums and early YT. I couldn't find a better time than mne for 3-4 circuits. Trial Mountain was one of them.
I love how Forza 8 went straight back to xbox 360 graphics :D - "build from the ground up"
0:32 and im totally stunned by the looks of this game, i have never heard off!
It looks so much better then the others of its time. Also the suspension movement looks great. It took years to reach that level again.
2:37 Toca was also a big surprise and way better looking then others of its time and many that came afterwards.
1:50 And overall the jump from PS1 to PS2 was insane.
Aswell as the PS2/xbox to PS3/360 jump, which was just mindblowing.
I remember when i was a kid we all couldnt believe how awesome it looks.
But then graphics progress really slowed down but the hardware requierements go higher really quick.
Went there once and filmed the corkscrew. It was a dream come true for me.
Gran turismo 2, even at the present time, is better than most recent racing games
Question, how do you pass in The Truck Racing Game without Wrecking???? 14:13
11:56 parece que o carro ficou bem menos 😂. Toy car
There's just something about old racing games man. They just look so cool and more fun to me
I want to know who was in charge of designing this on the crew. Clearly they’ve never heard of a hill before.
The graphical jump from TOCA to GT3 is mindblowing
0:50 PC master race even in 1999
So in around 2007 they dug the hill for more spectator area and expanded the runoff.
And also started agreeing on what the scoring tower should look like.
