One more thing to add for BeamNG: It has really improved a lot since the beginning. I've known and had the game since then, and damn did they make some progress. Back in 2014, the game was only good for it's crash physics. Now you can race, rally, do derbies, banger races, even just cruise around with traffic in California. It really has become something else with time. Props to the developers, I love this game so much

@@seanxxx8999 I have a Laptop with Intel UHD Graphics (128mb VRAM), an Intel i3 10th 1005G1 (4 cores), and 8GB of ram. It runs very good for those specs. It takes a minute to load in, but after the first crash and the first sound files are loaded its all you. I think I can get about 2 or 3 AI cars in before it becomes unplayable. On bigger maps it normally runs at about 28-36fps, on smaller ones its way better. I can even go into Multi-player using the mod and it runs fine.

[@Namiz00]

few more things to add for beam: beamng has almost UNLIMITED content capabilities because of the repository and the Automation integration (which is the best idea ive ever heard)

[@aidanquiett668]

They tried to make a soft body tech demo for a potential racing game, and did so well they arguably made the second best rocket simulation game behind KSP because of its gravity and atmosphere mechanics

[@PlanetXtreme]

If you've ever used the automation mods though, they are clearly quite.. Mediocre compared to the default dev vehicles on beam. It's a very cool idea though!

[@b34rdy]

ive had the game since it came out all those years ago, still one of those games that stays on my pc as its fun to go have a crash. shame its not on console

[@asdlox23]

It will be extraordinary realistic game if beamng drive added environment damage like damage to the tress and obstacles, tire marks in gravel and sand , etc

[@ivanmunoz9055]

It's also not a bad racing game, very good physics simulation and if you get out of the track it's really punishing

[@showalk]

Fun fact, in BeamNG, if your engine has a snorkel, you can go further underwater up until the snorkel itself is under the surface :D

[@bandvitromaniaios1307]

Yup and also EVs can go underwater

[@tedthebear4748]

you can edit the snorkel so it's super long and drive around under water but be when the car tilts so does the snorkel so it can make for a lot of fun

Grid, 2008 - I'm really surprised you didn't even mention it. I don't know how you'd rate it, but at the very least it made a lot of people realise the importance of a decent damage model - both visual AND mechanical - even in a circuit racing game that's not specifically made for damaging your car. It managed to introduce the idea of clean racing without any penalties. You missed your braking point and rear-ended someone? Now deal with steering, suspension and engine problems as a consequence.

Only has Visual damage, but could have been an Honorable Mention

[@CaptPatrick01]

For the time its visual deformation was excellent and the audio felt very responsive. However, mechanically speaking the damage wasn't really there, just light damage, which doesn't really affect anything, & heavy damage, which just reduced your car's power by like, 20 HP or something, an insignificant amount. The wheels also could not be detached in-game. Rolling the car over will also total it instantly so long as the roof makes even the briefest contact with the ground. The wheels also have way too much resistance when rolling, and impacts with the ground during could remove body panels, but cannot deform the actual mesh. Overall it looks nice, but its competitor at the time _Race Driver GRID_ has it beat by a large margin.

BeamNG is such a game, you can't get bored. It has really a ton of content and possibilities, but as a player who's experienced a lot on the game, I can clearly say it's got a long way to go till fully optimized and accurate simulator with decent drive model. Recent update improved the handling, but it's far off to compare with a racing game. They can add body paint scratching algorithm, mesh tearing and much, much more fun stuff like a bumpy track for the square tires. One of the coolest mechanics not spotted by many is sinking, literally any surface has sinking no matter is it concrete or mud and to prove that just look how as you crash with high speed into a wall, the parts go inside the wall the faster this impact was which is an awesome optimized alternative way to simulating deformation on non-deformable faces.

Street legal racing love the game it is like beaming and underground 2 combined

It seems to me that BeamNG was designed as a car damage simulator from the ground up - and the courses, worlds and challenges were added on top of it. For this reason I doubt any game will come close to it in this list for some time to come.

[@Serzari]

While you're right the courses, worlds and challenges came later, things like complete atmospheric simulation and a functioning aerodynamic model that supports aircraft definitely weren't added on top, or necessary to car damage. It's a soft-body sim sandbox from the ground up, and everything else is essentially just emergent gameplay

in my opinion, need for speed prostreet deserves a mention in this vid. as a game from 2007, the damage model is pretty realistic and also features mechanical damage. the mechanical damage wont be super effective and wont be super specific, but it does affect ur performance. it makes ur engine slower, or the stability to be less-okay, and u can total your car in a single high speed hit. its pretty decent in my opinion

Good video, nice to see two of my favorite fun racing games: Wreckfesf and Burnout.

I really like that your patreon screen is a PS2 demo disc menu. Really brings back some nostalgia

[@gaelpayssan]

You should have included Racedriver grid ! You could see the wheels fly off the car. Mechanical damages and visuals were pretty accurate and it's a quite old game. I am really surprised you didn't mentionned it !

[@DINHO-tq8pg]

OMG THE INTRO(MW12 WAS MY FAVOURITE NFS I WAS 8 AND I HAVE SO MANY MEMORIES OF IT)

[@josephc1148]

The original Raced river Grid from codemasters absolutely should be on the list. This game is often forgotten sadly.

[@1993VolkswagenPassatGLXVR6]

BeamNG's graphics have also gotten a bit better in the past 3 years, because of the many updates the developers continue to put into the game to this day. It is incredible what a small indie firm can accomplish with enough time, passion, and effort! This is why of all of my games on steam, I have the most hours in BeamNG.

[@AmnesiaForever]

Touching a curb in BeamNG is the equivalent of getting ran over by a train lol

[@Jakuzziful]

In GTAIV you cant see the Suspension (at least in my 360 version) but if you shoot in the wheelhouse you can snap the springs and the car will sink to the ground. There are so much details in this game.

[@ballfondler-k1o]

Honestly surprised that Racedriver Grid wasnt position 2. The damage was so great Codemasters got in trouble for making it what it is
