As a man child I do enjoy and appreciate awesome crashes. But to get the most enjoyment from a crash you obviously need cars to visually get damaged. Webby87 video is evolution of crashing in F1 games 2009 - Present.
Older games unsurprisingly put more effort into it
@ScarDuck14I came here like "ok, here we go again, another day, another rant" thinking of older games crashing spectacularly but I was wrong. I give you that, mate! haha
This reminded me of Stunts for MS DOS - THAT was fun!
A personal favourite from F1 2016:
Actually reinstalled F1 2016 last night after remembering this and thinking "Hmm, more recent F1 games don't have the same physical freedoms as the older ones. Then I found the same video as the OP's post after searching for F1 2016 crashes. Recent game physics are so glued to the ground, I have a feeling it's due to the introduction of eSports tbh.
@s00zsterI think a lot to do with it is also racing games have become sanitised. So awesome crashes isn’t something Licensed games want to promote. I remember video intros of old games in this franchise would show big big shunts(To show off the damage model Codemasters used to be awesome at) But for more than a few years you only see clean racing.
Nice to see you still about dude👍
