Cockpit View in 20 different racing games (NFS, Forza, TDU, Gran Turismo and more)

[@HUBBEN02]

A nfs from 1997 has cockpit view but a nfs from 2017 doesn’t

[@BaconPuncakesX]

NFS Payback should at least have had cockpit view...

[@a23845525]

UG2 and MW don't have it either, and they were still on the top of market back then. That is probably the reason this situation remains same to today.

[@nfsboss88]

Just too correct you a little bit, i think the games from the 90s was meant too be sort of Simcade racing. Because it was all about racing on closed tracks, and it was without tuning and NOS. I think the races was much more realistic compared too todays shitty games like Payback UG remake from 2015 and the rest of the crappy street racing games that has been with us since 2003.

[@Max16032]

Shift 2 nailed it. The blur effect, the head movement, the little hand twitches...People call it a gimmick, but to me, it makes the game an experience. This title was the reason I started to race with the cockpit view more often. Badass.

[@Ignacio.Romero]

It had shit physics

[@x073645015]

8 years now this game still like a boss. look at the intro, car modification & settings, most importantly the sense of speed in the cockpit, Best.

[@jpracing893]

Nurburgring, night with fog/rain was a horror, the sense of speed and the fear it gave you to push further into the unknown was like nothing I've ever experienced from a driving game. Shame the physics were crappy. If SMS could recreate that with PC3 then it would be unbelievable, especially in VR.

[@llSuperSnivyll]

It makes one wonder how on earth Project CARS lacks that speed feeling, even though the game is essentially "Shift without EA meddling".

[@Power5]

The only thing I noticed as being off was the amount of steering wheel wiggle. Sure, the wheel is not perfectly held in position when driving, but it surely does not move as much as was shown. Needs to be a happy medium somehow.

[@AssolutoRacing]

Waow, the old need for speed physics were much better than the new ones..

[@Paragleiber]

Yeah, the best physics were from NFS 3 until NFS Carbon. Starting with ProStreet they became bad.

[@tino897]

Nah Pro Street was fun. For me one of the best nfs. But yeah after it boy did they suck with the so called real handling.

No Driver: San Francisco? I am disappoint. That game had amazing cockpit views. Each car had its own method of transmission (manual, automatic, semi-automatic) with different animations, Tanner would take a hand off the wheel to move it down and turn the wheel more if you were turning particularly sharply, and if you stayed still for a while, he start drumming his fingers on the wheel. Great video otherwise, though.

[@KabberTheR1nner]

Great video, like a catalog of in car view feels, agree with a previous commenter +Christopher Ver Hoef that Driver: San Francisco, would have been a good addition. Driveclubs cockpits are so damn detailed. Evolution Studios, really knew how to make it Immersive and engaging. To such a degree that I completed the entire campaign (minus drift events, because I can't drift for shit 😅)without HUD and ONLY in cockpit view, a massive challenge but felt so worth it. And I "got gud" enough that I prefer driving like this, even against online competitors, no HUD and racing games look soo much better IMO, Not to mention it ups the level of immersion :) This was a great video, that took a lot of time and effort to catalog and put together. ^^ I subscribed, and I'm looking forward to your next project aswell :) Good day to you, From Denmark ^^

This is exactly the type of video I was looking for some time ago, but had "stumbled" upon it today somehow - 60 hours spent into making this: you sir are a king. Also, I thumbs up to anyone who can drive/race in cockpit view, because many of my friends are incapable of doing so, although they do drive real cars, but yet in racing games they choose this "Mr. Bean" view.

[@Thraakull]

Also, I personally choose cockpit or 1st person camera whenever I can - 3rd person is good for getting the feel of car's dimensions and getting to know how it acts while drifting, my opinion of course.

[@Paragleiber]

I am glad that you like the video but what do you mean with "Mr. Bean" view?

I'm just halfway through but. Shift & Shift 2 REALLY took it there. The level of detail! DAMN! & TDU was the first(?) game that has rain droplets ACTUALLY flowing back (I've only seen this on Driveclub so far). Too bad you didn't include raining from Shift & Shift 2 (is raining possible though?).

[@kevin__brucewilliams]

Thế Hoàng Nguyễn EA need to make a Shift 3. they left that series hanging man

[@Paragleiber]

Not every game has rain and night. :) I believe I showed rain for every game that has it and night for most of them.

[@Tintop]

Kevin Williams EA cancelled shift 3 and wanted to steal SMS' (the developer studio) technology but SMS could avoid that by having transferred their technology to a separate company and just to license the tech from their other company :-D SMS then went on to develop Project Cars and project cars 2

[@JC-li8kk]

I’m pretty sure Shift 1 was day only and Shift 2 introduced night. Shift 3 would have gotten rain. Why oh why oh why did they ever stop this series...they were at the very top and then disappeared. Haven’t played anything NFS since.

GRID's cockpit view sucks. Or is it because of the blur? Driveclub's rain effect is IMMERSIVE!!! The experience is IMMERSIVEEE!!!

[@Paragleiber]

Grid Autosport definitely has the least impressive cockpits among these games. Looks like cockpit view was more of an afterthought in that game. Still better than no cockpit view at all though. I think in the newer NFS games many people would also prefer an unfinished cockpit view over none at all (and I think some people have made it possible with mods). And yeah, the rain in Driveclub looks extremely impressive!

I notice Project Cars also has decent rain, just not close to Driveclub's :/

Ouhhh FH 3 also has good rain effect... but it's more droplet-like & the drops don't connect :(

No worries. It's just a bit weird when you make hundreds of videos specifically to show your driving skill and nobody ever comments on your skill but then you make a few videos where you want to show something else (like cockpit view in different racing games) and then suddenly people point out your skill, lol. I had it happen a few times now already. Maybe you can watch some of my actual fast runs in the future. I practice very hard for them and those are the videos where I actually want to impress people with my skill. :) Here is a playlist from last year where I published 150 top leaderboard runs in 150 days: kzbin.info/aero/PLlk-blXREIdiWdTskjVouwC5j42XIWAhQ That challenge was a huge amount of work but sadly it went completely under the radar of people.

Ah, yes, I know about the blocking in China. I have some Chinese friends myself. Your driving looks very good indeed! I assume you are using a steering wheel?
