I’d just like to drop a comment, the final entry was Forza horizon 4 gameplay, but that feature exists in every single horizon title :)

[@EnzoHyz]

Gonna pin yours cos it was nice! Thanks you! I lost my fh3 clip so you got fh4, sorry everybody

[@Inferryu]

I gotta explain this, these type of assets are known known as "billboards", flat low-res images that always face the camera, and are a cheap way to render big volumes of anything, usually used for distant stuff or things the player is not meant to see up close, and can be found in almost any 3D game. Is most commonly used for vegetation, like trees and flowers, particle systems, like rain or snow, or for big crowds of people.

[@angushoffs1380]

​@@Inferryu The billboard effect is especially eerie in old sports games for the PS2 with creepy background people staring from the trees, it's a good effect.

[@klapok]

@@EnzoHyz i love fh3 it was the best version of fh

[@Frightenerd]

[@Utonian21]

That's the issue with making games online only. You should be able to play a game without needing an internet connection and a server

[@pedinhuh16]

​@@jj_is_ponytakuthe only way to make them stop being such greedy shitheads is by not buying their games. I legit regret buying The Crew Motorfest because not only it has very little things to do on it, but because that is now that the same end is what's store in the future for it.

[@LegendHusky]

1:13 A fun fact, the Grim Reaper is a playable driver in Wangan Midnight for PS3. They drive a Mazda RX-8. Both games were developed by Genki I believe. I guess they were fascinated with Shinigami, because the RX-8 has black feathered wings during the boss race encounter.

[@succmama1039]

Shinigami? The guy from initial D or the actual Shinigami(God of death)?

[@tysonpham2153]

now that you mentioned that, Wangan Midnight is one of Namco's hidden gem of a game that not many people knows, especially American bc of them having only WMMT 3 and not the present one. For me, I stumbled it by accident in my local arcade and immediately loving it

[@LegendHusky]

@tysonpham2153 Yeah, it's unfortunate North America didn't receive WMMT 4. However, it did receive WMMT 5 and skipped WMMT 5DX. North America currently has WMMT 5DX+, to which most say is the best version. I've been playing WMMT 5 and 5 DX+ since 2019. It's my first in the series, and while I've played WMMT 6. WMMT 5DX+ I still enjoy more. Europe never saw another release after WMMT 3DX+.

[@tysonpham2153]

@@LegendHusky Yeah thanks, I forgot the American also had WMMT 5 but not DX, and I didn’t even know Europe never had WMMT 3, must be a shame for them to miss out I also played WMMT 5 but I started with DX+, and with WMMT 6RR, I enjoyed it, expected with the story mode, it’s literally a waste of money to obtain previous ost to played while in pvp or ghost battles, but still I enjoyed the series. I even used Aventador in pvp and ghost battle bc I loved how it’s big enough to ram other players (also it a real pain to turn this thing whenever there is a tight turn)

[@splatpro957]

If we wanna talk scary racing games talk thrill drive that shits traumatizing

[@EnzoHyz]

Never heard of it. What makes it traumatizing?

Dang. I just looked into both thrill drive and burnout 3. Didn’t know they had such a dark undertone!

[@Nova-bh4jw]

​​​@@EnzoHyzFun fact: burnout supposed to be a Inspired Thrill drive but since ea take over the Criterion and Acclaim went bankruptcy everything was change,and If u watch one of their trailers the Trailers feels unsettling to watch,Example the Burnout 3 Crash+burn:the footage of the car crashing+Woman screaming in the middle of the video and lastly The blaring horn because the driver died.. also burnout 3 has an Alternate Game title:Burnout 3 Crash&burn,Burnout 3 Fuel injection,Burnout 3 Seek and destroy last one that I think is a creepy is Burnout 3 SEE YOU IN HELL That's it all from me Burnout 3 is supposed to be a horror game about crashing cars,killing so many innocent People lives (I recommend to play the beta version if you want to experience urself a creepy&Disturbing Impact time ambient) Oh yeah I forgot to mention this there was a Kid toy racing game Called Choro q HG4 people said that,the game is Disturbing and have a dark humor idk if it's true or not because I didn't play the game,so you check it out if you want to

The Burnout 3 "impact time" audio is not an easter egg but it's... unsettling, to say the least. Always creeped me out since I was a kid.

[@benjaminwild4002]

5:28 it's actually a fox screaming/barking if I'm not mistaken. They do scream/bark like that in the wild

[@TheBadHabitz]

This was great. Wouldn’t expect *any* of these in a racer lol

[@EnzoHyz]

Right. I only knew a handful and ran into the information over the past year! And thank you so much!

[@Utonian21]

I guarantee that the "Racing with Ryan" one was just a cry for help by a dev who was forced to work on a terrible Mario Kart clone

[@EnzoHyz]

Honestly. The amount of hidden images in game files is crazy!

[@versthappening603]

honestly the gran turismo loch ness monster seems more like a little gag among the developers who snuck it into the game without getting caught

Heres hoping the petition to prevent things like that gose strong

[@AuntieAliasing]

Modders recently got the prologue working on PC. Hopefully the whole campaign will be playable eventually

[@daylineli]

The Good Ending: this easter egg is also included in the game's sequel, The Crew 2, i dont know if its in the EXACT area, as they changed the map a bit to fit some of the new races, but its still there

[@RobinMarquez-hr1hr]

All of The Crew 1 Easter eggs were carried over to The Crew 2 though.

[@uzijn]

Why not?

[@Fast11GTR]

Can say with a bit unsettling with Midbight Club LA where on certain locations, there is some backround dialogue of an argument between an guy named Bryan and his mom. Presumably its about going out late at night but his mom wouldn't want him go out dispite him already being at that age according to him

[@QF_Dan72]

in Daytona USA, if you go the Advance Course, drive backwards and head straight into the tunnel on the right, you will see a billboard with the word, "Congratulation, you just lost your sponsor." Imagine racing for a team but you have no sponsor or anything, which means you don't have money to continue the career.

[@EnzoHyz]

I love eater eggs like that!

[@bujayee328]

Nessie is just a cute swimming brachiosaurus she's just chilling no questions asked but still i wonder why they call her dangerous but she's not dangerous she's just mad that you ruined her sleep

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

In the late 90’s/early 2000’s, my cousin downloaded the demo for this colorful E Rated racing game where players raced aquatic vehicles like jet skins, speed boats, hovercrafts or something. I noticed that in one of the water streams we raced on that there was a dead floating body hidden in a way that most people would speed by it without noticing.

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

I think there was also alligators or crocodiles nearby which implied how the deceased met their fate.

[@billymercury3897]

One of the scariest video games is the Alpha version of Burnout 3. The Alpha version had titles like "Burnout 3: Crash + Burn" and "Burnout 3: See You In Hell"

[@JRC99]

They were never going to call it See You In Hell. That was a name that was probably suggested as a joke but never considered. The first teaser did actually use the Crash + Burn name though.

[@The_epic_x]

I was gonna say that.

[@billymercury3897]

@@JRC99 Cheers for clarifying!

[@BestBoiFu]

Here's one If U play burnout 3 when crashing and activating aftertouch there can be allot of sounds slowed down that consists of screams and even a heart monitor flatlining (srry for bad england)

[@GaganAruna]

It's only in the beta and the retail Xbox versions

[@venaautos]

I would love to see a video of this, that's wild

[@rabbitjack1990]

Theres also some creepy ambience in NFS Underground 1. The ambiences in the industrial area and slums can sound pretty strange

[@christianherrera8359]

Im glad im not the only one who thinks this

[@EnzoHyz]

I gotta check that out!

[@andreamusso1469]

Not gonna lie, as a kid I found the industrial areas in Underground to be seriously creepy. Good to know I wasn't the only one

[@augosyx]

Yo. Tokyo Xtreme Racer series is probably my favorite racing game of all time, I never realized Death Driver had that. I know the likes of red rain for Blood Hound (I think?) but never to that extend. I might replay this game again just to look see this easter egg.

[@V1nce3rd]

im a wmmt fan and nice to meet you i always feel interested to tokyo xtreme racer and import tuner challenge also try wmmt its the best arcade game made by genki and namco:)

[@4storyboss]

racing lagoon's half of the story should be one of the terrifying discoveries i think

[@Volvoghini]

4:41 another creepy/ interesting Easter egg in GT7 is the UFO abducting a cow at Mount Panorama & The UFO abducting an Otter at Grand Valley Raceway!

[@Scybren]

There's a space station in orbit over "Empire city" in NFS III: hot pursuit

[@raynaldiyudhistira4851]

Never knew racing games could be unsettling

[@EnzoHyz]

I know, it was super fun to find them all

[@monstrs23]

forgot a major one. Once you finish Forza Horizon 1 and take the pinkslip car, the credits roll, starting with your driving past the screen. Towards to the end of the credits, your car has ran off the road and crashed. :D

[@EnzoHyz]

I’ve had a few people mention that. I gotta check it out. I’ve never played fh1! Also nice profile pic!

[@L3oT1g3r-]

In the game NFS The Run, literally the first mission, after escaping the red Porsche from being crushed, Jack (the main protagonist) steals the mafias car an Audi RS4 If you drive the opposite direction of the track, you can see the exact same Audi RS4 totaled, it’s pretty hard to reach that part because the game will respawn you to go forward, so you have to reverse very slowly.

[@the_reese]

Nessie first appeared in Gran Turismo 4. She was also a 2D image.

[@maciekwysocki2009]

I have a suggestion. In old Colin McRae rally 3 on stage 3 in Spain after passing 3rd checkpoint and right turn after checkpoint you can see a big wall with big gate. When you drive up to the gate you can see a red blinding pair of angry eyes in the dark tunnel. This creepy stuff is only in PC version of CMR3

[@EnzoHyz]

That’s awesome. I haven’t heard of the game. I’ll add it to my list of creepy racing discoveries!

[@gd_4saken827]

Midnight club LA has ambience of people arguing around homes, specifically I heard it around Santa Monica.

[@Chr.Monika6469]

As a comment above me said, there's a game called Thrill Drive, which is quite uncomfortable to play. It later became the Burnout series

[@GaganAruna]

It didn't become, burnout was inspired by Thrill drive, released in 1998, Konami made it. Criterion games got inspired and made the first burnout game in 2001

[@wakazuchi4life]

Nicely done video. Simple and tidy. I really appreciate to video like this. Also glad you didn't put something like "Gran Turismo 6 creepy face texture on Trial Mountain!", because that one is just only because how textures are work. If you're planning to make a Part 2, I'd like to recommend the one from Choro-Q on PS2. There's one specific very creepy event that could occur in 1/10 chance after finishing Rosspury's event. Its extremely rare event, but there's one guy who's uploaded the video on KZbin. So, fear not. Also make sure you have a volumes on with this event, as "music" is also a creepy (kinda) part too.

[@EnzoHyz]

lol, I saw the gran Turismo thing, and thought it too goofy! I’ll for sure add the choro q one, I didn’t know the specifics, thanks for mentioning it!

[@hadookin47]

Aw man, with creepypasta and game myth videos, racing gamers were some of the only games that didn’t scare me growing up

I've been playing TXR3 on my Steam Deck lately and never knew about the Deadmen Silvia! Those ghost figures are eerie for sure haha

[@zaliani]

i played tokyo xtreme racer 3 on my potato spec laptop using pcsx2, imagine passing those faces on the back of the van at

[@SlowV6Mustang]

damn I've played a lot of TXR3 and never knew about the death driver, kinda creepy that all the car textures change like that. It is nice though to see TXR3 without all the yellow Genki branded cars, kinda wish the traffic had more variety in that game like TXR0.

[@marckmoraes]

TXR3 is basically flawless if you ignore those infinitely repeating yellow genki vans, ngl

[@EnzoHyz]

[@Highrollinhunter]

Empire City in Need For Speed 3 is unsettling af the atmosphere is just so dark essentially on the PS1 version im so afraid to drive on that track

[@Zacabeb]

Especially with the music turned down and driving alone with no opponents and no traffic. Driving slowly through the docks, past the sewage treatment plant and into the tunnel, then through the red light district, past the curved building with the giant pillars where the chopper hovers over you, under the subway bridge, down towards the park and church and then between the dilapidated warehouses on the way back into the docks, with the ambient sounds the only passengers is unsettling. On top of that the PS1 version has Dolby Surround encoding so with an upmixer like Dolby Pro Logic II or Dolby Surround Upmixer, those sounds envelop you and can come from any direction. Creepy. One of my favorite driving game tracks for that very reason.

[@MidnightApex-ml6jc]

On the PC version at night, there is a Death Star look alike in the sky.

[@longtailgt]

@@Zacabeb I'm glad to see someone (in this case, 3 people) mention this game and this track! In truth, the PS1 version has a hidden, unfinished alternate version of Empire City, which is incomplete and broken, and supposedly goes through a forest, some sort of canyon and other industrial infrastructure (the textures are not visible) and that gives an even creepier feeling than the regular Empire City. It's a shame the developers were never able to finish that track and put it in the full game, or even in High Stakes. Also, both of the songs that play on Empire City in NFS 3 specifically, are also sort of creepy in their own way, with a lot of curious background sounds.

[@Zacabeb]

@@longtailgt I remember that from back in the day! :) I think Coal Harbour was supposed to be a full-on companion track to Empire City given where it splits off and rejoins (the exit ramp in the tunnel pretty much confirmed there was something they had intended to add, especially as they removed that ramp and the connecting street by the church in the PC version.) While the associated track files were found pretty quickly on the PS1 game disc, there was no good way of investigating what they contained at the time. From the video I've seen of Coal Harbour after it was made accessible, it does look pretty interesting even though it lacks its proper texture set. I want to remember there being yet another extra track file aside from the unfinished Coal Harbour and the secret bonus tracks, but never found out if it contained anything at all playable.

[@longtailgt]

@@Zacabeb It was indeed supposed to be the alternate version of Empire City, and actually was likely going to be called Empire Park (which is believable as the track does go through a park). Even though Coal Harbour has been mentioned as a possible name, it seems like a very off name for the track and I believe it's more likely that it was a location on the map (like the Neptune tunnel on Aquatica) but still, I'm not sure. I don't think anyone has found any other hidden track file in this game apart from the unfinished TR02B and the secret tracks. However, there were apparently going to be a couple more tracks planned but it seems they were cancelled long before any work began, and the only proof of their supposed existence are their names in one of the game files.

[@lenmarfox2947]

One I noticed was on the PS2 Game WRC 3: The Official Game of the FIA World Rally Championship. When you go past certain crowds, they watch your car drive past, now they might not seem soo bad but its like they're on a rotating platform, its pretty freaky if you've got to to a rally with multiple slow hairpin turns.

[@guestc142]

Those are billboard textures. Pretty common to see them as filler in racing games such as crowds and trees.

[@tonierbuckle0202]

To add onto the npcs in the forza horizon games, animated npcs with show up as static ones that blankly stare at you if you look at your mirrors in any car while in first person mode, which tbh is even creepier since as soon as you move the camera to look at them directly, they go back to moving like normal

[@Boeing__747]

​@@EnzoHyz in a creepy way

[@rando842]

For the NFS heat one. The reason why weird sounds come when you are in the barn is the traffic cars next to you on the highway. You can also the similar sounds in tunnel near the main city. In short game thinks the barn is a tunnel

[@NicolasChiribelo]

The last one is less of an easter egg and more of just having flat textures of spectators always turning so they face directly the player's point of view. I don't know the exact name of this effect but it's used in other racing games as well. Wreckfest too has some quite strange spectators on its maps that use this effect. This method has also been used to simulate trees in 2D, and other minor things not meant to be seen up close by the player.

[@amorphous-d8e]

Correct! I think it's called 'billboarding' if I'm not mistaken?

[@guziman1963]

The last entry happens because those sprites are designed to lock onto the camera face on so that way you never see their edge since they are 2 dimensional. They used sprites for the back part of the crowd to save memory as you said and because they don't need highly detailed people for the back of the crowd.

[@angushoffs1380]

This video reminds me of the type of scary easter egg videos I'd expect to watch im 2014-2017, that was a good classic video except without "Number x" breaking up each segment. I liked this video alot!

[@EnzoHyz]

[@OfficialDJSoru]

Someone probably stated this already but as I can't find it I'll explain the last entry. To save on resources, a common development technique is using LODs, which means a high detail model you see up close gets replaced by lesser detailed variants the devs prepared, until the model gets culled entirely by the draw distance or other culling methods. Depending on the dev, sometimes the lowest LOD can end up being just a flat plane with a low resolution "photo" of the model, like the case in that entry. Now, when a game object doesn't have multiple LODs, that model stays regardless of how close you are, and Playground Games in this case decided to use NPC models for the rows closest to the barriers the players can drive up to, and pad out the crowd with the 2D ones. Gran Turismo also does this a lot for people near the barriers or at the bleachers, as well as other racing games. As for why they are all facing the camera? that effect is called billboarding, where the game object is coded to always face the camera, else looking at the crowd from certain angles would look weird. If you ever played Wolfenstein/Doom-like games with 3D environments and 2D sprites, this is used profusely, although those games do change the sprite direction based on your position relative to where they're facing. Source: lot of indie "3d environment with 2d assets" games I played, and also worked on a project that required a dense forest marking the map limits, but light enough on resources it could be played in VR on a GTX 1060, which is one of the bare minimum cards for acceptable VR, meaning all trees had to be 2D sprites facing the camera through billboarding.

[@fizzisoda7113]

I got another for you, and it's pretty obscure as me and my brother seem to be the only ones aware of it. In San Francisco Rush 2049, on the sunset track in a cave tunnel, there are these white furry creatures with red eyes and what seems to be blood on their mouths. We used to explore the outskirts of tracks when we were young and those always stuck out as being a little creepy.

Thank you so much! I realized short and sweet is definitely better!

[@curlykiddd]

You should try Distance (its simple name makes it ungoogleable so I'll also mention it's by React Studios). You can make a whole video about that racing game, but there's not a ton of "discoveries" to be made, since most of the scares are intentional. There have been some, however, found in the game's stages, that aren't immediately obvious. There are Steam Guides about it IIRC.

[@EnzoHyz]

I’ll still add it to my ever growing list from everyone!!

[@hextheprotogenfox]

If I'm remembering correctly the end of the world Easter egg from the crew also appears in the crew two Weightless fitting in way more creepy considering that while the crew has a more gritty atmosphere, the crew two has instead a more happy go lucky atmosphere, so the Easter egg feels super out of place

[@EnzoHyz]

I didn’t know that, and yeah it definitely would’ve been more fitting, thanks for letting me know!

[@CturiX.IREALLY]

Its weird to think Forza Horizon still uses an optimization technique for crowds from back games as old as Sega Rally :\

[@TheLorddirge]

Another interesting thing in Tokyo Xtreme Racer 3 if you race a racer named Blood Hound and you race them when it's raining. It will start raining blood.

[@EnzoHyz]

That’s awesome! Adding it to my list. Thank you!

[@Goldberg1337]

Nice work - I hadn't heard of any of these before!

[@EnzoHyz]

Thank you so much, glad you like it!

5:55 Some of the NPC are just sprites that have one frame, and are not changing no matter at what angle you are looking them.

the most terrified i have been in a racing game is when during in NFS Carbo during the final boss battle i won from Darius with only 54 points to spare. 😨 Still gives me chills to this day, on how i did it. I think i used the carrera gt and it took me about half an hour to beat him.

[@MikoyanGurevichMiG21]

5:25 in the first Forza Horizon, after you challenge the final boss Darius Flynt and win his Ferrari 599XX, the car will be in a wrecked state on the side of the highway when the end credits are rolling(however it does get fixed when you resume the game after the credits end). This creepily suggests that it is possible Darius sabotaged the car or wrecked us off the road in anger of losing, and our player character "died" which explains why he doesn't appear in the other Forza titles. Or well, could be an oversight by Turn 10 and its a spawning glitch.

[@EnzoHyz]

That’s awesome. A couple comments mentioned this, but thank you for going into detail. I haven’t played it!

[@WAGAKO19]

If you wanna know something disturbing? BUTNOUT 3 TAKEDOWN BETA IMPACT TIME SOUNDS

[@TwinPalmsSpecialOfficial]

I remember forza horizon 1 had a creepy easter egg There was a farm in the game where if u went to the driveway, ud hear a creepy scream or screech or smth I only had it happen once and cant find the farm now But theres just... NOTHING about it on the internet Im so glad i found this cuz I think that i experienced horizon 1's version of that forza ambiance

[@EnzoHyz]

Strange. I’ve had a handful of forza horizon 1 comments. Might have to check it out!

[@derpedfox]

This is how stressed out racing game devs release some pressure for some reason

[@Wolf.822]

I had made a creepy discovery about Snowrunner once and all I did was turn off every sound setting except for the ambiance and you can hear the wind but the Alaska map is so much creepier with the sound of the old metal structures creaking and sounding like they're gonna fall down but it's actually fitting since you are driving through basically ghost towns plus on the maps you can see glowing eyes in the trees and some of the buildings

[@EnzoHyz]

Ambience can be really ominous when you’re just listening to it! It’s fun to point out. The glowing eyes and empty towns would definitely add to it!! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@Tripe6mafia]

Good video man! I'm subbing!

[@EnzoHyz]

Thank you! Welcome to the channel!

[@freddjie3097]

NFS Heat was just a bug, EA Games lol😂

[@Pirojok92]

Hey, thanks for the vid. Really enjoyed it! Could you name the game in your outro, though? The one with a car rolled over and crashed during midnight or something. Thank you very much in advance!

[@EnzoHyz]

Thank you, I’m glad you liked the video! The game in the outro is called drive time radio!

[@Pirojok92]

@@EnzoHyz thank you very much! I'll definitely check out this one.

[@jgbalves]

That reminds me the UFO Sighting in Moto Racer from 1997 :DD

[@V1nce3rd]

i just came here because im fan of wmmt and i saw the thumbnail of xtreme tokyo racer the developers are unique if you beat the guy i forgot who uses a black s15 if you stay to the hiace for a minute or second you will see a ghost well its not scary anymore to see the ghost on the hiace

[@krlos_amg]

I remember there was one Bike racing game where there was a billboard with some random stuff, and doing something triggered a special soundtrack which lyrics helped understand the billboard and that was a clue for a real life location under the Eiffel tower for something hidden there that will be opened in 2120 or something like that... Anyone else?

[@EnzoHyz]

Wow, that’s is a crazy Easter egg. I just read into it. It’s for trials evolution. Thanks for letting me know that!
