The Forgotten Cars of Racing Games

[@VGCE]

Instant Gaming: www.instant-gaming.com/?igr=VGCE Giveaway: www.instant-gaming.com/en/giveaway/vgce To adress the "x car was also present in y game" and "the first appearance for x car was not y but z" comments: I couldn’t cover every game the cars appeared in, only a select few, as it probably would have made the video at least 5 times as long. The games after the last appearance were shown in order of release, and the last game featured wasn’t necessarily the first one the car appeared in. Correction: 42:56 - Yep, the car shown on screen is actually the Alfa 156, not the Golf V. 46:11 - Last game to feature the CTR2 was Assoluto Racing, released in 2016. Which car would you like to see return the most? Forgotten Cars playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PL3xD4xJ20NYvWBOytLFOe7zG4wM-rfDcu

Ford Mustang GT-R Concept. Though, thankfully, we kinda have that in the New Mustang! With the Mustang GTD and the 777 Performance Kit.

[@mateuszpaszkiewicz3831]

I'll go with classic Lotus Europa, Dome Zero and Mitsubishi Starion 4WD.

[@GranTurismoInvestigations]

I don't know if thats an hyperfixation but, I am in LOVE with the CRZ and would be looking foward to seing it back in GT7-8.

wth is with timecodes?

[@Thunder55Turbo]

The Tommy Kaira ZZ-S was on Gran Turismo in 1999, alongside the ZZ-II and ZZ-III. Your info in the video states 2001 (Probably Gran Turismo 3?). Just to point that the info presented's actually inaccurate. Other than that, I couldn't find anything wrong!

[@Pioneero]

After watching so many cars appearing in Gran Turismo 6, I think we're not entirely aware of how extensive of a "car encyclopedia" that game was (especially since it reused assets from 4 and 5).

[@Tentacoool]

13:08 Fun fact: In The Crew 2 and The Crew Motorfest, you can customize the Dodge Viper SRT-10 Coupe to make it look like the GTS-R concept. There exists aero parts of the GTS-R which you can equip. All you have to do next is paint it red, and find the stripe livery made by someone.

[@MedicalBillz]

It's also straight-up available in the game in the Racing discipline, though the wing is different.

[@yungsagegaming8577]

46:11 correction: CTR2 also appeared in Assoluto Racing, just like the Yellowbird CTR. and since it came out in 2016, that would also make it the last game to feature the car. it's also strange that Assoluto Racing doesn't have an IGCD page.

[@FMecha]

IGCD staffers pulled Assoluto Racing's page over allegations of it using Forza models. A dev did attempt to prove otherwise but IGCD has not (yet) reinstated them.

@@Blue_Y2K6167 and as far as I'm concerned, these are all just rumours, and so they're willing to remove the game from their site just because they suspected that some of the old models were ripped from another game? so, like, guilty until proven innocent? I'm not the biggest fan of AR either but at least they had two modellers who model cars for the game (IVMyLife & Veti, find their work on Artstation) who also just so happened to be the main developers of the game, which meant the development process is almost as slow as a certain Japanese High School simulator game, but we know for sure that they are capable of modelling cars themselves, so I see no reason to not reinstate the game on the site.

6:18 Can someone explain me how a dead car manufacturers like Pontiac, Plymouth, Buick still can exist in modern video game, but not the case for Marussia B2?

[@P_D-px6iv]

Because GM still has all the rights for Pontiac and Buick and can therefore license the vehicles to developers Same with Plymouth & Chrysler. Stellantis is responsible for the licensing agreement American car companies also don't mind their vehicles being in videogames The issue with Marussia is they're Russian and Russia does not like their vehicles being in videogames. That's why you never see Lada, UAZ, ZIL, or Derway's in any videogames unless they're modded into the game
