Nixian Channel Description:
We’re lifelong video game enthusiasts with a passion for showing the world how our favorite hobby has grown with us, from individual series to industry-wide retrospectives.
We put significant time and creative effort into each one of our videos, including research, digging into archives, recording voiceovers, and editing. Every video takes as many as 10 hours to produce, because we strive to give our fans consistent, high-quality content.
Our popular “Evolution of...” series goes far beyond simply presenting gameplay footage. We take the time to show how a video game property - its gameplay, character designs, graphics, sound direction, etc. - have evolved over time. We include unique voiceover work on each video to enhance the viewing experience.
People have been playing video games for decades. In that time, we’ve gone from moving a white line up and down to block a moving pixel, to participating in full-fledged, painstakingly rendered real-time battles with people all over the world. We help older gamers look back on how these experiences have changed throughout their lives, and new gamers to understand the broader context of the series they’re playing for the first time today.
The video game medium never stops growing, and we’ll never stop chronicling its evolution.
Editing and voice-over were made by me. - Hry

it’s hard to comprehend that, once upon a time, every single one of these games made us go, “These graphics are AWESOME!”
No one, absolutely no one said that about "City Driving Simulator" or whatever the name was.
i used to play battlefield 4 on my ps3 and think its insane. now i play on ps4. after going back to ps3 its a whole different game
Some 90s games have parts that look nice
@@TurtlesLV Ha! ok. Perhaps not that one.
These old games were actually AWESOME. They were built without use of any engines, they were all pure programming. Now we have all sorts of tools available and it's easier.
Early 2000s Rockstar: *Releases 3 games in 4 years.*
Modern Rockstar: “We don’t do that here.”
GtaV still makes loads of money, so they dont really have to worry about making Gta6
Now its 3 games in 4 decades.
@@machomanalexyt5736 Gta v online makes money
Ок
They are not hungry now. Steam just mine and loot of cash. I left GTA V. A lot lags, bugs, slow, crashes, hard earn money and hackers
In just 30 years, we've gone from tetris to graphics that are hard to distinguish from reality. That's amazing!
What good will gorgeous graphics do when a 2 DECADES old game wipes the floor with them when it comes to realistic physics and handling? 🤔
some black and white pixels to real life like graphics
30 years is a long time, not the blink of an eye.

Driver San Francisco is still my absolute favourite driving game and it’s a damn shame no one is able to play this masterpiece anymore. :(
Edit: I know you can still play it on older consoles but I was mostly talking about PC and digital stores so you can stop telling me

Need for Speed Underground 2 was an absolute game changer when it came out. No one could believe the graphics at the time.
YES!!!!!
I still remember playing that the first time and me and a buddy loosing our shit! I looked so much more realistic that anything else at the time. Plus the game was huge!
Still holds up as a decent game even today!
@@princehuskie1617 funny you can play nfs u2 on a mobile
I still find the graphics cool. If it wasn't for the weird light effects they put I think it would look pretty awesome. The upscaled textures and ray tracing. Just this would improve the game 100x times.
Still my favorite game of all time
@@rdb223 I think the graphics of nfs hot pursuit 2 are really good for it's time. The PS2 version is better than the version released for PC,Xbox and Gamecube. Black box's version is way better than the actual EA one. It has better maps, better ambientation and songs. I recommend giving it a try. It's pretty fun. The physics aren't really that good but they are enjoyable. The cops are harder to defeat than Most Wanted ones. They don't get destroyed easily (only when they crash onto a wall) and their car feels to have the same mass as yours.
Overall, I think it is a very fun game, it gives you the feeling of speed and action. The only downside is the limited amount of maps. But excluding that, I just love it. Still completing the races.
When the games from the 2000’s are better than mobile games:
Because rich parents let spiled brats buy anything and developers start following same dssigning techniques to make more money instead of trying something new. I only buy offline games from playstore
I remember playing GTA San Andreas and Underground. Nostalgia hits hard.

Indeed. While the graphics of these games may have improved over the years, physics peaked well over a decade ago and have gone downhill ever since.

>World's Scariest Police Chases
>Drives on an empty highway
Its a 21 year old game, the platforms used to play the game back then cant run a lot of cars
@@mayocult2025 Question is, what was so scary?
@@slavsublime4702
It's based on the TV show World's Wildest Police Videos, it is about footage caputred by police, news agencys, and people just to show us the stark reality that criminals have declared you and everyone else the enemy.
When it was on, it was once kniwn as World's Scariest Police Chases before changing it's name, and the title wasn't lying, those police chases actually shock many people, even with the disclaimer. The show lasted from 1998 to 2001, that is 4 seasons of the show, in 2012 it was reborn as a 1 season show by the same name of World's Wildest Police Videos, both of the shows were hosted by John Bunnell, who was once part of the police before becoming sherrif.
If you are familier with the show COPS, you may have seen him before, as there was a episode of the show where the police force that John was in was dealing with a house full of marijuana.
The video game on the other hand came out in 2001 for the Playstation and.... that's about it. There were plans of a PS2, Xbox, Dreamcast, and PC ports of the game, but thry were cancelled, and a sequel was planned too, but that was also scrapped, this was basically the only other piece of media that John Bunnel was involved witt, but if the sequel wasn't canned, it would of been his second narration role for the game.
It was a fun game back in the day though. I remember it had some wacky ass cheats :D
Nice pfp
Finally!! Someone who included Midtown Madness in an Evolution Video! That game is my Childhood. One of the Best Open World Games imo
He didn’t have the graphics cranked, the game looks so good on max settings
@@Smoshylife You are Right, for a game from 1999, I was really Surprised when I cranked up the Graphics. The reflections look Awesome!
Good video: no ads, no bullshit intros it just gets I to the video! Keep the good work
The 1986 game is impressive for its time.
Midnight Club: Street Racing was a head of its time

Forza Horizon team: Okay, let's make our graphics as realistic as possible.
meanwhile, Need For Speed team after 2010s: Let's add some more RAIN.
Agreed😂😂😂
Though they are both fun games they both suffer from the same problem, Thier environment s lack atmosphere, where are the walking population?, it's jarring driving down a street that should be highly populated without a single walking NPC in sight.
@@dkjah yeah but i feel like NPCs in racing games aren't really that necessary and probably a waste of assets for the developers since those games are mainly just about cars and such. I mean yeah it would be cool to see NPCs walking around and all, it would add more detail to the game and make it look more alive but it's a racing game.
@@Weegeepie-jv8we yeah, I only meant it as a graphical observation as older Street racing games had crowds on the pavements, as I said it's only an atmospheric thing, it's more to do with I like cruising in open world games and it helps add to the idea of driving round a living city, and in no way does it ruin gameplay, it's more a little wish of mine that they were there.
@@dkjah ooooh okay i think i get you now
Those 90s games looked weirdly futuristic, but still stands its time 👏👏
Once Midtown Madness was there, it has changed everything!
It was a crappy game. Great idea but it wasn't fun at all.
the crazy taxi was crazy damn good for this time. and the particle effects wow
Better than cyberpunk though
yes
I remember when it first came out in the arcades. It blew some minds when it hit the scene.
@@iambiggus Somehow our local small town pizza joint owner managed to get one of the sit down versions in his shop. For a little while he had more people coming in to play the game then ordering. There was definitely a line of kids for a few weeks lol. Good times.

Its good to see that the games evolved so quickly from 1999 to 2004 🔥with greater graphics
I grew up in that period, 11 to 16 years old. It was insane. We seriously thought that we will have photorealistic graphics and PHYSICS in all games when we will hit the 2020's.

Yeah I liked that game when I played it when I was younger
The 2005 Most wanted was way ahead of its time . Very few need for speed games are as good as that game .
I thought the exact same thing the first time I played it
That shit was way above PS2 Standards
Basically EA decided to remain in the PS2 era with NFS games.
@Toru Sato nah underground 2 is the only other game to ever be close or even better then mw

Snowrunner graphics, physics, tyres interactions with mud, water and snow is pure awesome. As opposed to fast racing games, this slow driving game is actually meditative.

My god Gta 3 felt nostalgic, even tho i wasn't born yet in 2001.
Three just looks like if you put four if you turn down the graphics.

Same

@@OG_BiggieCheese i'm born in '88... oh god, bruv... now i made u feel younger and me feel older again 🤣
The greatest evolution from pixly games to a true 3d experience seemed to happen during the 90s. All progression after that is fine tuning.
Thats because you can only do so much for something to look photo realistic
In the 90s the visuals were so bad that they had so much to improve on
Right now honestly there is a thin line between actual real life and and these games on a visual perspective
so most of the games just improve on the physics and gameplay
Yeah 3D gaming transitioning happened in the mid-1990s, but it still took until the mid-late 2000s for it to look smooth and less blocky/blurred/pixelated. You can see in late 90s & early 00s games, graphics were very basic and lacked detail.
same as the technology these games running on. From big transistors to a silicon chip. I really feel like everything important was invented in the past and today we´re only improving these things. :) i think the next step is to personally get in the game as a charakter just a little bit more realistic than the VR stuff from today.
Fine-tuning my ass
Ffdd
Need for speed underground 2 was amazing but carbon had amazing graphics.
I’d loved midnight club dub and LA too.
They were amazing tuning games.
Incredible evolution! When you think and remember(80'-90' generetion) how excited we was with almost every game that appear, and how many times we said that "it can.t be better than this (graphics)"😆 I was like "WoooW" when i played "Carmagedon", "middtown madness", like "OMG" with GTA...i enjoyed this evolution, i didn.t imagine that it gonna evolve so fast and so realistic graphics-visuals!

Its just nfs,most wanted is a specific title to 2 games but i understand the mistake since mw 2005 is the best racing game ever
@@Absolute_MaddLadd Actually I'm aware. I don't feel the same way about NFS Underground or any other NFS games. I'm not saying those games aren't good, but all I'm saying is that both the Most Wanted games always seemed way ahead of their time.
And yes, NFS MW 2005 is the best racing game ever! The vibe, the mechanics, the story, the cars, the challenges... everything. My favorite element by far are the police chases. I recall having genuine thrill when the cops were chasing me. It was especially fun because I literally never used the time break mechanic lmao. And the feeling when you evade cops are 20 to 30 minutes of pursuit hell freakin yeah!

@@shinyberb6161 ITS PURE GARBAGE
Gta San Andreas and NFS MW 2005 ♥️
For me they won't get old
97 - 99 is the best era of racing gameplay in history imo. Graphics nowadays are absolutely insane and UE5 has broken down some serious barriers but theres just a timelessness to the 90's games we'll never really recreate. I mean if you showed someone the last of us part 2 in 1997 they'd probably freak out but someone in 2022 whos never played carmageddon would do the same thing for different reasons if they gave it a chance i think.
I am 44, from 1978. When my dad had his first PC, i guess 1983 or 1984. I could do paratrooper, pacman and bouncing babies games that still captivated enough , but some 2 y it was to do spreadsheets on at home, lol. So it had a lousy EGA videocard in it with the basic 32 colors or something, later a VGA and then Super VGA, whining every day helps!
. But the real racegames for me (other than maybe those early f1 games, Grand Prix Circuit, it was pretty hard with your tires constantly overheating.....the real racing game I spend hundreds of hours I guess, is Test Drive, I looked it up and it['s from 1987, so I probably had it a year later, copied from friends ;)
Kings-, Police-, Castle- & Space--Quest type of games already looked better, Secret of Monkey Island, Larry, Winter Challenge (Olympics) and California Games as well but Test Drive II looked too much Test Drive I, to my liking. When you look up Test Drive 3 from 1990 looks so much better.
Sorry, it's a bit confusing what I wrote, but I accidently removed some text and there was no undo option ;(
@@nlx78 I looked up test drive and it looks so similar to a game i had on the SNES called race drivin'
The first person perspective, soundtrack etc. Also released in 1990 but now i see it's clearly a copy of test drive.
I remember it being so unforgiving haha. I suppose the reason i consider 97-99 the best era would be because i was born in 88 and age 10 is probably the best gaming time a kid has, no work, no relationships, no life and love distractions etc.
@@hildapataki5072 yeah. The feeling as a kid is wonderful. Like scary movies being actually scary. New year night or gaming yes.

Driver: San Francisco was and still is one of my favorite games of all time
Perdeu a essência dos títulos anteriores... O Driver: San Francisco vendeu tão pouco que a Atari nem teve condições de fazer um novo Driver há mais de uma década.
@@jamfera2 cállate, déjalo con sus gustos. No vino a preguntar eso
@@jamfera2 How did it lost the essence? It's a game about driving!
Plus it has a pretty nice catalog of licensed vehicles.
Great to see “Vette” again! I’m going to guess you didn’t get the trivia question right at the beginning to allow you to unlock the Sledgehammer’s full potential!
8:59 Fuel, un muy buen juego, bastante difícil en las últimas carreras pero, estuvo bueno, solo le faltó vista desde la cabina y sería el videojuego de carreras definitivo para mí
Lo jugué en su momento y se me hizo muy aburrido, aunque quise que me gustara porque el mapa era enorme y pensé que podría llegar a disfrutarlo, pero no fue así...
Crazy! In 12 years, from 2010 to 2022, we're reaching the point when we won't know if it's a game or an alternate reality.
If you haven't, you should check out the Horizon Subreddit and see some of the pics that have been taken. Some of them are so well done that it's hard to believe it was taken in a game.
I would say that the close-to-reality graphics began from 2019 approximatelly

@@Frank-Walker GTA5 is number 2, I liked The fourth better because it was more dark and twisted than Funny and Goofy if you know what I mean
@@Frank-Walker gta 5 is on the 3rd position for me, right after gta san Andreas
lol guys...have you lost your sense? I'm still playing gta online from 2014. But, gta San Andreas became boring. The same thing again & again 😑😑
Wow.. you brought me back to beautiful childhood memories .. Especially DRIVER 2000 on my PS1 💖.. Great times
NFS MW was so exciting, it is exactly what games should be like

i dont think it’s gonna get any better than what’s out right now like i can’t imagine how graphics would literally get better
@@hamzaghori1076 that’s what they said for the n64
@@fartmunch973 no but seriously though I don't think graphics can get any better than real life graphics
Maybe just faster fps

2:45 can't remember how much i played this game i unlocked everything . and still play it sometimes on the emulator.
Playstation version
@@smauG15 sure.
really loved the rainy days it felt so real. great memories.
omg, 1986 Turbo Esprit. I never knew how that came was called, I only remember how it looks like because i was 4 years old or younger when i played it on a Commodore clone. Thank you for this!
I was old enough to fully remember carmagedon and most of them after.
Well..it wasn't called "Turbo E-Spirit" like he murders the name here!
Vice city , midtown madness , road rash ......old days ❤️
Oh my god I remember playing need for speed underground 2 when I was a kid. Now I see why I have anxiety of being chased by someone
I know what you feel
That game was truly ahead of its time, along with 2005 most wanted ofcourse

I like how the early 2010's games are a delicate mix of the 2000's and the 2020's. I know this comment sounds redundant, but its cool to observe this graphical transitionary period. To put it another way, I own a '96 BMW coupe. Sometimes, I'll glance at the car and be like "it's a mix of the retro boxy styling of the 80s and the modern sleekness of the 2000s". It's mesmerizing.
Yeah NFS Underground 1 and 2, Most Wanted and Carbon they are my favorites but the Most Wanted is insurmountable and impossible to forget and to stop playing it to date, it is the most playable of all.
And by the way the Most Wanted was my first game that I played in the entire saga, what those old school times 👍👌👌❤️❤️
I still remember when trees in games are basically arrows

17:18 7 years of development goes waste 😂
Edit: thanks for the likes
why does everyone said it was 7 years of development tho?
@@fabianboro4686 the game took 7 years to be made..
@@user-zc2hz3yj2k it does not look like 7 years development for me 😂
@@fabianboro4686 gta took 5 years to be made
well it's actually 4 years (they said). But the first trailer release in 2013 so it looks like 7 years. And what we can expect from a whole new project that can't reuse anything from their previous magnificent games (witcher series). Unlike Rockstar, making GTA 5 or RDR is from developing their previous project.
Mafia 1. Best game 2000s. Graphics, shoting, driving and this story... thats crazy. I play it over 25 times at the moment :D
Я огромный фанат Mafia 1, но что эта игра лучшая в 2000-x, я бы поспорил. Но точто одна из лучших.
Физика машин - высечайший уровень,
Графика - очень хороша,
Стрельба - выше среднего,
Сюжет, повествование... Какой же в игре сюжет. Особенно мне нравятся 10 миссия, в самом конце, о разговоре с Фрэнком, и 20 миссия и конечно же финал
