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.

Looking at the old games really shows how far we come in terms of both graphics and gameplay
And then there's cyberpunk
@@gibrandhulferedroso9389 cyberpunk also have very cool and close minnow details but everyone just hate cyberpunk just because ir has bugs
@@TryHarderNextTimeBozo it's a raw game
@@TryHarderNextTimeBozo Yeah, the only thing I see bad in cyberpunk are the bugs and the AI, the rest of the game is awesome
@@LnmHive true
I'm So Lucky I was born in the Generation of Video Games.
True
What if you were born in the 1800's?
Ur unlucky, it would be better if you were born in the 2050's when there would be mind blowing games.
@@Red-cx4ur but not mind blowing pc
@@Red-cx4ur the future of this world is destruction. Ww3 is closer than we think with all this nuclear power.
Oblivion was mindblowing back in my time. My friend and i were playing the whole night when we had no school. the graphics, the machanics the world in general was amazing. the addons were also rly insane.
i will never forget this time.
i lost 2 summer breaks in cyrodiil
Ye weird, them tards didn't mention Morrowind before Oblivion ROFLMFAO
yeah but it had a pretty dead world though, comparing to Gothic for example
I know I'm late, but man, everyone forgets the legend - Gothic series is just so good that I'm still playing it. Gothic 3 has such a big open world.😢
GTA V was really a cutting-edge game in every aspects.
Even with 8 yrs passing by, the difference between it and games coming out later makes it seem like they are still in the same generation in terms of evolution.
well it was made by rockstar games
@@dotsinki1096 omg 10 mins ago
Lol no not really, you are making things up.
GTA IV is still better
Not sure about GTA but RDR2 was a masterpiece!
2000 - 2010 had by far the greatest jump in graphics.
And I have to say GTA V being released in 2013 is incredible. To think it got released before the likes of MGSV and and TW3 and still holds up so well 8 years later
2010 minecraft came out and that was a huge regression in graphics what are you talking about?
@@christiansather8438 minecraft is a sandbox and everything are blocks
Wdym .....witcher has amazing graphics and gameplay
yeah man, but I still believe TSPQR and BYUXZ is on par if not better than, JKLMN. Also I'm amazed how the graphics of KHASHDF still holds up till this day. Get me?
It holds up better than tw3
LA Noire was amazing for its age. Also the getaway from 2001 is really underrated
Yes the Getaway!
Glad to see STALKER in there. Got that game in 2010 after I did my final A-Level exam, and I loved it. Played and completed the two sequels. Anomalies will continue to be a large part of my life! :D
Too bad its not open world.
@@grayfarron5077 yeah but i mean anomaly is so
@@tkdcoastskater9809 how about metro?
Mafia was so fucking incredible for its time. Even today you'll struggle to find another game where for example the correct blinker on a car goes off when you're driving left/right, police will chase you down and give you a ticket if you're speeding, running a red light, driving on the wrong side of the road etc. If you walk in a puddle of blood your footsteps will leave a trail of blood behind them. There's so many details that I haven't seen since.
Yeah...even I wish for a game like Mafia but game developers donot and will not implement those features anymore because many players do not like it. It slows the game down.
I haven't played the original one but the definitive edition is one of my favourite games
@@amitharavindpai3049 They could include an option to have it turned on or off.
@ArneyX True Rdr2 does replicate some of the features. Of course cars can't be in that game though :D Still, considering how long it's been since Mafia came out it's impressive it took this long for a comparable game to come out.
You haven't seen any of those details since? Well then you haven't really been paying attention. Detailed games like Red Dead Redemption 2 have that level of detail and modern tech allows it to look even more realistic. Mafia was probably the first game if its kind to do that, not the last, as you are implying.
From 1997 to 2000 crazy how quickly it turned from barely rendering in 3D, to accurate dynamic shadows under characters! Most mobile games currently don’t even have that, just a circle under you.
Developers on Mobile are lazy
@@pollockbiswas5841 More like publishers don't care about quality. The devs merely focus on what the publishers ask them to focus on.
@@pollockbiswas5841 phone hardwares are not strong enough to render those small but critical things
@@nafisggaming2814 yes they are lol
@@nafisggaming2814 oculus quest has a weaker cpu than most newer phones
Playing and experiencing a good open world game makes it hard, really hard, to enjoy non open world games now. The sheer scale and freedom to do what you want is so good.
nahhh. Most open world games are empty trash. Play souls games, thats where gaming is today.
@@denberzfan5759 dude. Do you know what genre the latest souls game is? Open world.
@@jumpehumpe I've played every souls game bud. Elden Ring was pretty good but still copy and pasted so many enemies kinda turned me off. LIterally less 50% less enemies in ER compared to linear dark souls 3 lol. Dumb
Red Dead Redemption 2 is the greatest game I have ever played. My friends kept bugging me to play it and I went in thinking I would not care for it but was blown away by every aspect of the game. I'm surprised they didn't mention Everquest. It was such a huge deal when I was in Highschool.
So fcking boring, it takes literally 20 minutes to performe an action like climbing into the horse
I like RD2 but it didn't blow my mind. It didn't do anything that other open world games did. Just an interesting setting being in the old wild west
@@sx200n1everything great except combat gameplay like you cant die
It seems like he purposefully left out the MMORPGs - because my Evolution was Ultima Online, Everquest, DAOC, World of Warcraft, and now DayZ
@@sx200n1Have you looked imto the details? And don't get me started on the story
Sleeping Dogs...criminally underrated game. A shame that it looks like we won't be getting a sequel. Mad Max was another one I really enjoyed that doesn't get enough love. If we're counting car games, Burnout Paradise and The Crew could've been in there
They could’ve made the Horizon Zero Down strategy, let the game for free after a while and then announce the trailer of a sequel
Love me some Wei Shen!
True Crime NYC and LA also very good ones... much earlier on than Sleeping Dogs too.
agree
Don't forget Driver San Francisco
Horizon Zero Dawn made me love open world games, the story line was soo good! ❤
Shenmue was so ahead of its time when you look at the average open world game just a year or two prior. And then GTAIII only a year later. What a way to begin the golden age of open world games.
All my life passed in a single video. It's so cool to remember what was happened in my life during playing these games
Lol same here
its crazy isnt it? :(
This video really goes to show how iconic and groundbreaking the entire grand theft auto series really is
AND overrated too.
@@kiillabytezTo use overrated means there’s better games in that genre that beat it… name me 5
@@JaggedRecordsVa I feel like it has gotten beat out in modern times though. Breath of the wild, rdr2 (still by rockstar tho), ghost of Tsushima, horizon, Skyrim, metro exodus, outer wilds, Spider-Man ps4, Arkham city, Mario odyssey.
@@colefreeman4093but the last gta is 10 years old, not fair comparing it with more recent games
@@JaggedRecordsVaFr, we are at an age where the most recent open world games (new Saints Row and Gotham Knight) looks worse than older games
GTA V hold its own even today, and RDR 2 is in a league no other game will come close to replace it
I’m impressed you mentioned prototype most people seem to forget about it such a masterpiece
nice video, i just missed elite dangerouns in the list in 2014 because you added the older elite games, nice content bro
most impressive game ever, RDR2
Yeah but only in your dreams.
@@Daniel-Rain-YT In a fanboys dreams these ppl are blind and only know the games made by rockstar
Graphically the best I've experienced. I just wish the gameplay wasn't so clunky. Horizon Zero Dawn is the perfect balance between impressive graphics and smooth, intuitive gameplay.
@@Daniel-Rain-YT Is there anything you actually like or are you just here to tell everyone that you don't like video games? 🤔
@@Daniel-Rain-YT Horizon shits on FO4 😂 FO4 has a terrible story and no RPG mechanics with god awful quests.
“There’s a settlement that needs your help!” X400000 times. Every open world game is better than that shallow Game. It’s graphics aren’t even good. All it has is power armor.
Your standards low, genius
Skyrim was remarkable in my life when I was young. I was 15 at the time and didn't have a very good TV to play on, yet those landscapes always enchanted me. All these years later, I still play Skyrim without mods and still feel the magic of the first time I played and of course I have a much better tv now 😁
I'm so glad I had Link to the Past at 15 and was able to grow up with the medium. I can't even begin to imagine what today's children think of "retro games" that make what we have today possible.
TV...lol
We haven't good PC for that. All playing with lags & 10 FPS max.
@@johnlittle3430I’m 20 and I got an Atari because I love retro been trying to find a n64 but they expensive
Hello pls help what race should i pick
@@Peter_File69 White
Those old enough to have played Shenmue when it came out know how ahead of its time it was. It jumped about 10 steps in terms of freedom, NPCs/interaction, story, etc. There was nothing like it at the time, and for a brief window before the PS2 came out, the Dreamcast was so much more powerful than any other console hardware out there. A classic.
You made a mistake by not including Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind (2002) in the video. It not only led to the creation of Oblivion and Skyrim (both of which are in your list), but even now it is considered one of the best open-world RPG games of all time!
LIneage 2 was a huge part of my life, I have been playing that game with my friends for over 16 years. On non official servers. It caused me a lot of trouble in peronal life, but I do not regret one minute of it. Just hearing that soudntrack fills me with so much nostalgia.
Its amazing how technology has come so far nowadays open world games look so realistic i just can't believe it how did they even make these types of games amazing!
In future games will look more realistic than real life
@@fantasticspiderman8157 xd
That is amazing
@@fantasticspiderman8157 I think I will die before game will be realistic than real life
Lol "realistic" and SHALLOW with nothing to offer besides the graphics.
Nothing can top RDR 2. Great job, R* Games!
Btw, where is The Sims 3?
I can't believe u showed Minecraft instead
he didnt include fallout 4 and the rest of the games in the fallout series. only fallout 3 was mentioned
Witcher 3 tops it but rdr2 is a close second
@@cptspeedy6358 i disagree but i respect your opinion since Witcher 3 is probably one of the best game i played
I can't wait for "Evolution of Open World Games 2020-2050"
The generation that grew up with the development of games and saw how games improved over the years is a golden age and the new generation will not appreciate games as much as we do now
Damn, I still remember the first time I fired up Witcher 3 on my trusty old gaming PC. Didn't disappoint. The Witcher 3 is one of those games that you feel like you don't mind that part of memory get wiped clean just to experience it for "the first time" again.
Give me the visual beauty & attention to detail of RDR2, the vastness & depth of Witcher 3 and the mechanics of MGSV.
Agreed
Thanks for doing. One criminally underrated open world game is 'Outcast' from 1999...
Believe it or not, Rockstar is just ahead Of everyone Like they gave 2017 graphics in 2013 2014 graphics in 2009 and 2025 graphics and mechanics in 2018 and 2030 graphics and mechanics in 2025😂
3:46 Our Childhood legend 🔥❤️..
Look at all the games leading up to Skyrim, and then all the games after. It was really the turning point of open world capabilities
I agree. I played countless hours on Skyrim until today...
7:15 ,,2011, Minecraft” Thats… thats when it hit me…🥲
Witcher 3, Skyrim, Rdr2, are some of the best open-world games ever made.
brooo prototype was waaay ahead of its time, literal parkour and flying. the consuming and being able to disguise as people is something a lot of games dont have
You r!try Prototype 2: even better!
It's unbelievable how amazing Mafia looked at its time.
Mafia 2 was amazing at that time. The main reason I loved it was the melee combat. I mean that is the most realistic fighting I've seen to this day.
@@flashpunk7333It was even more impressive what Mafia 1 did in its time. Between the release of GTA 3 and Mafia there is only one year, but if you compare the cinematics, you will notice a huge difference in the modeling of faces and quality of graphics.
Our 2000's was phenomenal
Still playing skyrim to this day, the mods of that game kept me playing for a decade

To be 8 and playing San andreas
To be 9 and playing most wanted
And to be 10 and playing Oblivion again 😅
This was a nice nostalgia trip
Hunter and Elite 2 are pretty impressive for the time, I think they're the first games to really invest well in the open world genre.
Yeah they look really good for 90’s games
I feel like the list could have included Elite: Dangerous, EVE Online and Star Citizen, to showcase the evolution in this genre of games. Maybe X3 and/or C4 too.
@@f.faucon6681star citizen is a stretch as it’s not fully released yet
@@f.faucon6681elite dangerous was so limited though due to how it was developed. No planetary landing for example.. Elite 2 had that from day 1
No, if anything, they where the first 3D games to do that but between 1983 and 1993, 2D RPG's and even some non-RPGS of the 1980s had the open world game style going down pretty well. Even down to the world "Living" and doing things with or without you influencing it.
Sid Meier's Pirates!! OMG, I was so addicted to that game back in those days.. One of my most played games on the C64..
I'm so glad you included Prototype. My childhood were fulfilled by that game.
Аж сердечко щемануло с музыки линейки, сколько ж радости доставляла эта игра в свое время...эх
я ее до сих пор слушаю ))) Полное собрание.
GTA3 was the game that blew me away. That game changed gaming as we know it today.
You are one of the rare youtubers to give the credit to Urban Chaos before GTA3! Good video.
the trees in oblivion looks very good even now tbh
Frontier Elite 2! im 41 and i remember getting an amiga 600 as a present from my Mom when i was 13, with a bunch of games already included. When i first tried elite 2 i was mesmerized for life!
Can't believe The Witcher 3 is 6 years old already. It still looks and feels great and no less impressive than Cyberpunk
I just completed my 4th run in witcher 3 last month this tume using mods ( spend 4 days just to correctly install all mods so they run compatible) and its was worth my every effort ..
13:53 ahhhhhhh, waited for that 😁
@Paulo Ricardo SL awesome game :)
Some true legends right there. Personally i'd add the Gothic/Risen series
im currently playing the Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind which came out in 2003 and it surprisingly still holds up today. if u don’t mind the graphics the game design is unlike any other rpg i’ve played
2:46 why is this scene not a meme XD
The last game was like a dream wonder after 10 years from now what graphics we would be seeing I think we almost reached the realistics in terms of graphics how far we accomplished cheers to mankind
HZD was the very first game i played when i got the ps4 and it stuck with me, beautiful game, story, concept, all around magnificent
Been around for all of this. I played "Boot Hill" on an arcade machine in 1977 when just the idea of having a video game with playable "cowboys" was fun. Never imagined back then what would come along 40 years later in terms of "old west" video games with the likes of RDR2.
Around 2000, when 3D games were really taking off, I thought about how far we'd come since 1980 and really believed that 20 years later (i.e. 2020) we'd have more fully immersive VR games. Kinda sad that VR really hasn't delivered yet. It hasn't given us a leap that makes playing 3D games on a flat screen seem as old tech as playing PacMan in an arcade.
My top 5 is; Rdr 2 - Witcher 3 - Mafia 1 - Rdr 1 - Gta San Andreas. Have huge respect for others too ofc. Played almost all in this video. It's extremely difficult to be a ''good'' open world game.
which is better rdr 2 or the witcher 3
@@kensei3656 RDR 2
@@kensei3656Technically Rdr2 by far. Rdr2 also has like limitless in-game details. I still discover new things after 700+ hours of gameplay time on steam. But Witcher 3 has better side quests, a little better soundtrack, and also more replayable due the rpg elements/choices/dlcs etc. For me Rdr2 and Witcher 3 are two best games ever made. I can't easily say which one is #1 but if i still have to give them a score Rdr2 would be 99.5/100 and Witcher 3 would be 99/100 cos Roach sucks :d
@@kensei3656 no
have you tried breath of the wild?
I’ve spent majority of my childhood playing GTA 5 and Skyrim. Those are the two best games of all time in my opinion.

How can u say that if u have not played any other games lmao kids these days are so spoiled and dumb
these games are still just as fun as they were the day they came out
It's criminal that you didn't even mention the Ultima series, one of the forefathers of emergent open world games.

Nahh...
Rdr2 gotta be bro
man I cant believe RDR2 is already 5 years old, it feels like it came out just yesterday
I had no idea open world games go back to the mid 1980's. Thanks for the history lesson.
that 1999 game was revolutionary.
Nostalgia overload right here. Odd how Infamous 2nd Son was mentioned but not the originals. And no Dead Rising? Also, I saw a couple MMOs on there. I consider MMOs and open world games to be two separate genres.
I was waiting for GTA VIce City and Assassin's Creed, they were just mind-blowing back there
What I like the most about a video game is exploring the map and free roam
2050 GTA VI
9999 gta vı
The difference between original skating /bmx games and the tony hawk games allowing you off the board to walk around was craaaazy
Never seen prototype before, but immediately thought of the spiderman games... & then i read up on it !
RDR 2 and GTA 5 are probably the top among the modern games imo.
And apart from the bugs, Cyberpunk does look really good.
The Witcher 3?
Cyberpunk was terrible
No Man's Sky
TW3 was the greatest game I've ever played. Sure, the combat was a bit bland but everything else was just too beautiful. One of a kind
@@AnimeRenegades rdr2 and witcher is on par.
the graphics that we have all dreamed of are finally here. Next step is to get it into VR and make the VR headsets as thin as sunglasses, that's when we will really be in for a show.
in a way it is also sad cuz once that happens, so many of us will lose the sense of reality and humanity. Maybe would want to live in the vr world because we will atleast have control majority of the time there.

Just FYI, it's not Espirit. It's Esprit based on the iconic Lotus model. The same car was driven by Richard Gere in the film Pretty Woman and is also showcased in Need For Speed II and Gran Turismo 4
Lineage 2 - I played it for 15 years. GREAT GAME. A CLASSIC!
I'm 53 and i just couldn't imagine a world without video games much better than real life.🤣
You missed Gothic 2001. It was great game
I started playing Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition recently and oh my, I'm so impressed by how alive and big the world is. Like??? How come I've lived so many years of being a gamer girl and never heard about this game until a year ago or something?
Fighting feels kinda awkward on a PC, but overall a great game that is truly underrated.
One of my friends had it on xbox 360 and he got annoyed that we only talked about gta or AC when it came to open world. So he invited all of us at his home to play it. That christmas (2013) i begged my mom for the game and luckily got it.

Very nice video! Great material 💪💪
Anything by Rockstar(from San Andreas to IV to V to RDR2) revolutionizes not only the open world genre but the whole GAMING landscape when they launch. Nothing else even dreams of coming close to them.
Being a huge open world fan, I was surprised how many were on the list that I'd never heard of. Well done.
I was, however, disappointed with a few of the video clips which appeared to be captured with the game at very low settings (e.g. MFS 2020).
In my opinion I think that red dead redemption II is the best open world game between all those games.
@Shaheen Shad Even GTA San Andreas can't beat Red Dead Redemption 2. But they're both timeless masterpieces.
@HUNGRY DOG Tbh, after you complete the compedium (Idk how to say it in english) you finish all side missions, and you complete the story it gets kinda boring.

2:58 Grand Theft Auto, Grand Theft Auto: London 1969, Grand Theft Auto: London 1961 and Grand Theft Auto 2 where also open world.
And in 2023 with Starthirty we regress to 1990's...
Crazy how you didn't use Zelda Ocarina Of Time for 1998. That really defined Open World games and the distance they'd come for me.
Very crazy considering it was the first real open world on console... Forgetting it makes this list actually really bad...
Shenmue was so ahead of it's time back in 1999.
Well it was kind of boring. They tried to make you do things like you do in real life😂 Also you have meaningless conversations with people.
Best open world in a game that I ever got to explore was EverQuest online adventures and it's not even a competition lol the fact it could take hours to run around was the best it's scale was dope too man I miss that game
I started with the second one so I never realized that the remake of mafia was such a leap. I always took it for essentially a well polished remaster of the original.
1986 there was Legend of Zelda. You could have added it, considering how iconic it was
simply because this list is bullshit. This guy only shows games that are considered GTA-like regardless of whether the game he listed is open world or not. I guess this guy is a fan of R*
Frontier elite 2 actually looks great and the music really adds to the atmosphere
It is a horrible horrible game and bad graphics even back then. I know because I bougth it back then :)
That PS2/Xbox to PS3/Xbox 360 era wasn't a joke, man. What a leap.
Also Rockstar going from top down Spyhunter style to basically recreating parts of New York City that you can walk (and drive!) your character through in 3 dimensions is ridiculous. A decade is all it took. Then another decade from that to Red Dead 2, all of those systems that need to work together...
Videogame development is insane. All the people that make them are anonymous Michaelangelos walking among us. Wizards even.
Mario 64 was my first real experience with an open world game. I was amazed.
PlayStation exclusives are literally the best , red dead redemption, horizon zero dawn , ghost of Tsushima , nothing can top theese
Aside from games like Breath Of The Wild, I'd have to agree.
@@jaym5118 and Witcher 3
There are many games which can top these actually.
