The Shift series did one thing right, they made the cockpit driving experience more surreal and intense. It's kinda upsetting it failed in other areas.
It shift wasn't in NFS franchise...it would have been much better. NFS has a reputation for street racers so motorsport genere was not very well executed.
If you played Driveclub you would know that isn't true. The closet experience that can explain driveclub is Top Gear season 11, episode 1 where Jeremy smeared Vaseline on the camera lens.
Better for those who don't know what it's like to wear a racing seat belt.. The pilot doesn't move backwards and forwards 10cm each time he brakes or accelerates...
@@saleens302extremerockstar games were soo much better in the 2000s yearly releasing soo many games and those were packed with details nowadays they only release one game every decade they are in shit quality the only thing they are focused on is GTA online
It's not just about the detail, it's the ambiance, and the motion blur, the shake, and the DriveClub, and Need for Speed shift nails it and still one of the best years past
I thought you were gonna include the helmet cam from nfs shift/shift 2, it was the greatest cockpit view I've even seen in any racing game, the adrenaline rushed no matter what
I love that feature. I’m always wishing from FH5 and future racing games we can like customize the interior and add in stuff like new seats, gauges, and many accessories.
3 words: Sense. Of. Speed. Shift, Driveclub and Assetto Corsa are the only ones who pulled it off quite well. If people would say to me that these aren't realistic, I'd say falling asleep from boredom while driving a fast car isn't realistic at all
grid autosport cockpit is total ass. they didnt have time to actually make detailed interior models but after the grid 2 fiasco they didnt want to get caught with no cockpit view especially in what was positioned as a more serious, simcade-oriented game, so they just covered up the shitty low-res interiors with a blur filter so they could say they had cockpit lmao
@@Scooter227 I still have Drivec;ub with DLC as well, both non-VR and VR, and play them regularly. Sadly I didn't get the Bikes expansion before it was delisted.
I agree, plus in shift 2 bets cockpit and in shift 2 in all cockpits all working, odometer, speedometer, tachometer, sensor of turbo, oil temperature sensor,
Bruh shift and shift 2 unleashed has amazing cockpit view all those numbers on dashboard continuously changing was amazing and the sense of speed was amazing
One thing i don't understand in racing games is why they don't turn the steering wheel more then 90° degrees, even the latest racing games like Forza Horizon 5 and Gran Turismo 7 doesn't have animations that go beyond that. Don't get it where this limitation come from.
Shift felt really good and immersive to play because of the cockpit camera, despite leaning heavily towards arcade physics for a simcade racer. They got the camera shake just right. Even after more than a decade the game aged really well. If anyone ever approached me wanting to delve into sim racers, I would recommend Shift to them as the first game 100%.
It really sucks that Shift has manufactured input lag. Idk what they were thinking, the physics are fun, forcr feedback is great but the immersion goes away when I spin out thanks to the game not doing what I ask it. Still one of my all time favourites though
Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown (TDU 3) is scheduled to come out later this year (September 22nd, if I remember correctly, unless it's been delayed again and I'd rather have a delayed TDU game than one as buggy at launch as TDU 2 was).
Test drive series since 1987 were the first in use cockpit view, and Need for speed 2 and 2SE also have cockpit view, but only using the default graphics hardware, no the 3d accelerator graphics (voodoo 3Dfx)
GTR 2 has a very realistic camera shake. The first GRID also has some nice details, you can actually see what gear is changing into. TDU had very realistic interiors at the moment. NFS Shift was very realistic too, and I also remember the first time I saw a Gran Turismo in HD. In terms of modelling, GT is always a step ahead (without counting non premium models).
GTR2's cockpit view has one weakness; it has no working wipers. If it has working wipers then it would be perfect. Someday, someday, maybe though CrewChief plug-in. Race 07 / GTR Evo is slightly better in this department. It's cockpit view is pretty much based on GTR2 (both are SimBin titles, after all). This time however, it has working wipers (or tear-offs for Open Wheel cars).
Imagine combining the intensity of Shift with the graphics of DriveClub and the physics of Assetto Corsa. That would make for one sick racing game. I'm still baffled by the fact that no game still looks on the same level as Driveclub.
I'm playing Shift 2 for the second time around. Incredible game. Nurburgring full track at night Works car is such a rush. Haven't had my hands that sweaty in awhile. I'm over here using a controller. The intensity of the game itself is on another level, half the time I play in the helmet cam and it's phenomenal.
In many RCG games so far, I have never worried about whether I will hit the wall because the car is too fast when cornering, or have any car accidents, until I used the helmet view in Shift 2, this is why it Will always be in my mind.
And the worst steering animation award goes to....... FORZA HORIZON 🎉 you could turn your car 180° and the steering would only move about 10°.... Cockpit view is the first thing i look for in any driving game but in forza horizon i've never played in cockpit view cause it was annoying and they never fix it they think it's good 😕
The Shift series did one thing right, they made the cockpit driving experience more surreal and intense. It's kinda upsetting it failed in other areas.
Right, I remember playing shift just for cockpit sensation and drive on the nurburgring
Fr. I fell in love with shift bc of the cockpit. No games deliver the same intensity as shift’s
Reminds me of watching one of those VR 360 view videos
It shift wasn't in NFS franchise...it would have been much better.
NFS has a reputation for street racers so motorsport genere was not very well executed.
@@yasirahmadX but we dont care lol I mean they tried something new and they went back on street races anyway…

@@AthenaAutocross Ok
@@dakyno cool
@@AthenaAutocross I guess you must have played the game while taking a hot shower or something.

For an arcade street racing game, Midnight Club Los Angeles cockpit view is amazing, so much details and I love it
Rockstar's game studios being themselves in the 2000s, giving their games small details!
@@saleens302extremerockstar games were soo much better in the 2000s yearly releasing soo many games and those were packed with details nowadays they only release one game every decade they are in shit quality the only thing they are focused on is GTA online

pretty good is an understatement

And i wish it was more simulation
I remember that you could customize the interiors on Midnight Club L.A.
O melhor desses aí e o Drive Club e o melhor jogo da atual geração de jogos de corrida hoje e Gran turismo 7 e Asseto Corsa Competição.
Shift series has one of the best cockpit view overall, except for the fact that you are literally 1cm away from the steering wheel xd
You can increase the fov on pc which is great

you only get that on by AC by shoving a multitude of mods into it, the actual thing is just like everything else
@@WaifuWarsRacing you could also change your FOV to something a bit more realistic than 50. Personally I think AC has a decent sense of speed.

If you put shader effect to the lowest setting the cockpit looks like nfs porsche unlimited
Grid autosports interiors aren’t even rendered TF?💀
Driveclub is hands down the best one I've seen
Major Facts…
The cockpit view of Shift and Midnight Club are mind-blowing.
What a beatiful game Driveclub was
im lucky to still have it with a handful of dlc
I’m still having a hard time to believe that this game is almost 7 years old
@@Scooter227 I´ve traded my ps4 for a xbox one S in 2017 when it came out. Still missing Driveclub and Bloodorne, two of the best exclusives ever

Ima say it. Shift 2 unleashed is one of the most fun racing games of all time
It's actually crazy how the cockpit view always gives better sense of speed and experience than the chase cam
It’s a shame none of the recent NFS games bother with a cockpit view. The next installment better have it.
Bruh shift and shift 2 unleashed has amazing cockpit view all those numbers on dashboard continuously changing was amazing and the sense of speed was amazing

6:25 I can't fuckin believe you actually turned off the unique camera shake and settings overall for shift 2..
shift 2 is unrivaled..
Back when Need For Speed has dashcams, it's a shame they removed it
Shift 2 unleashed driving is the most violent driving I've ever seen..still no game comes close to that.
In this department:
NFS Shift > Project Cars
*Fight Me*
Both are good
It really sucks that Shift has manufactured input lag. Idk what they were thinking, the physics are fun, forcr feedback is great but the immersion goes away when I spin out thanks to the game not doing what I ask it. Still one of my all time favourites though
Im surprised that WRC9 was not on the list
I miss test drive so much :( to this day better then any forza horizon even 5

Damn! The rain effects for Driveclub, Dirt 5, FM7, Grid Legends & even the Assetto Corsa mod are all far, far better then GT7's. Shame.
Driveclub (VR) and Shift are the best.
Guess you haven't played Dirt in VR.
It's a pity you left out the helmet view from NFS Shift 2, cuz that's the one that really has you on edge
NfS Shift was amazing.. Much better than Project Cars..
The best cockpit view for me are
Shift 2
Drive Club
FH2
NFS Shift was ahead of its time
When u see driveclub, think it's a new game for ps5
Bruh… Driveclub’s damn near realistic. 🤯
I'd say that nfs shift series had the best cockpit view experience
Asseta Corsa and Forza Horizon are the best for racing
Why didn't you play nfs shift 2 in helmet cam
DriveClub and Shift (the best)
NEED FOR SPEED SHIFT IS THE BEST ONE HOLY FUCK. ITS NOT EVEN FUNNY
Until today, small animations like turning on the lights, horn animations in the interior are still not seen
Really hope nfs bring back cockpits view
No one can match driveclub 😎😎
Test drive series since 1987 were the first in use cockpit view, and Need for speed 2 and 2SE also have cockpit view, but only using the default graphics hardware, no the 3d accelerator graphics (voodoo 3Dfx)

Shift 2 goated
No one did t better than NFS Shift..

Driveclub is up there for me
driveclub remains the top dog. what a surprise lolol.
I just realize...between The Need For Speed and NFS 3 is a BIG improvement of graphics,EA do pretty good at that time but now...sick
Among all of them, I'd say Shift 1 and 2, Assetto Corsa and Driving Club is the best ones
i love how much detailed the cockpit in nfs shift is compared to dirt 5(which was recent)
Imagine combining the intensity of Shift with the graphics of DriveClub and the physics of Assetto Corsa. That would make for one sick racing game.
I'm still baffled by the fact that no game still looks on the same level as Driveclub.
16:06 Azerbaijan grandprix in F1 2021
Best arcade racer ever is PGR4,best cockpit SHIFT2.
But in BeamNG Drive, cockpit view from the car, must be in this game too!
Aww, you didn't use Shift 2's Helmet Cam, missed opportunity right there.
NFS SHIFT Onboard was the turning point in this video for sure . That game has aged really really well.
When one game is modded while the rest are vanilla, the comparison becomes unfair.
Moreso when some of the other games are heavily mod-able as well.
Driver San Francisco,PGR4 and Forza Motorsport 4 are my fav
honestly, tdu1 holds up pretty well
Everybody talking abt shift and drive club but fh1 also had a really good sense of speed in cockpit view especially at 300 plus

NFS SHIFT the best cockpit cam the all game racer
Shift, Dirt, Project Cars series were the best ones for me when it comes to realistic cockpit view feels.
In many RCG games so far, I have never worried about whether I will hit the wall because the car is too fast when cornering, or have any car accidents, until I used the helmet view in Shift 2, this is why it Will always be in my mind.
Jesus, GT7 is soo bad. Same HUD, same Gameplay, awful sound, okay graphics..
Need for speed games are cool
every other game: normal
asetto corsa: MODDED TO THE MAAAAAXXXX
And the worst steering animation award goes to....... FORZA HORIZON 🎉
you could turn your car 180° and the steering would only move about 10°.... Cockpit view is the first thing i look for in any driving game but in forza horizon i've never played in cockpit view cause it was annoying and they never fix it they think it's good 😕
I have some good memories on project cars 2. Such a good game.
NFS Shift was a Gamechanger in sim Racing
Gran Turismo Sport is great in basically everything, but the hand movements in the cockpit mode were not in sync with the actual turning at all.
the cockpit from Driver SF was the best.
OMG Driver San Francisco
Crew series is a freaking joke. no real physics, no working mirrors . Even the first Need For Speed has them all.
ufff forza motorsport 3 is very good vs gt5 incredible
Forza Horizon has a fekkin ugly blue filter.
AUTOMOBILISTA? IDEM 2? RFACTOR 1 Y 2? ASSETO CORSA EVERY SAGA? RACE 007? A LOOT OF THE GAMES DONT HERE
4:02 is that the bmw M3 GTR??? If so i NEED this game so bad!!!
driveclub is the greatest arcade racing game of its era, and it has the best sense of speed out of any game ever
Gran turismo 5 was fun and all but it was annoying how a lot of cars didn’t have interiors
AC does it best for realism, now you just need extreme shaders and you're set
