Cara, eu amava esse jogo quando eu tinha o meu N64. Sempre que eu podia, o alugava e passava o final de semana todo jogando. Para mim é um dos melhores do gênero.
It's not surprising. N64 is comparable to the first 3D cards on PC. It's not because a lot of dev did not know how to use it correctly, that the system was bad. It was mainly the fault of Nintedo who did not share enough knowledge with them.
I think they wanted to “add” that “HD” mode mainly for marketing purposes - for screenshots on the box and magazines, for video game tv shows and finally to try and demonstrate that the N64 still had some more “juice” in it.

Yea!, World Driver Championship! I love it 🥰. The comparissons with Gran Turismo come from the more "realistic driving" as most N64 racing games had more of an arcade handling/driving, but the way you progress in the game is different and there are no license test. As i know this game uses custom microcode running in the N64 RSP instead of the standard "fast3d" microcode suplied by Nintendo, that is why this game was not working some years ago in most Nintendo 64 emulators as emulators didn´t emulate the Nintendo 64 RSP and Graphics Chips at all, they had to hack the game and add the custom microcode to the emulator. One interesting thing i have noticed with this game is that the intro credits and attrack mode, the game menus, and race replays are always displayed in high res mode regardless of the selected resolution in the options menu or the in-race menu. The "normal" res mode seems to be 320x240 at 15bit color depth (the dithering patterns are very noticeable), the "high res" mode i think is 512x240 at 15bit color depth but displayed in a 480i video signal. The game adds more escenary to the sides and cuts some scenary from the top an button giving a letterboxed widescreen appereance as the game is still technically rendering a 240p buffer displayed in a 480i frame it has big letterboxing. If your tv alows to customize the screen proportions you can get almost a "full screen" display for the high res mode tough.😎 The framerate is a little worst in high res mode of course, hitting the 24 fps range while the normal res mode manage to hit 30fps more often, the frame rate drops are more noticeable when the car starts drifting. How did they manage to achieve "high res" without expansion pack?, well my guess is: 1- The high res mode is not that high to begin with (512x240 is a very common resolution in Ps1 games) 2- Custom microcode than was more efficient than the one Nintendo provided. 3- I remember to have read an interview with the developers pointing that the game is running without z-buffer so that helped to keep the framerate "stable" or just tolerable. I love this type of comparissons on the N64 with and without expansion pak, i think is very interesting to see the struggles and ingenuity the developers had with the hardware and see how they used the extra memory to improve things and the sacrifices they had to do to make them happen.😉
Pretty sure the overall display mode in hi-res mode is 320x480i and then a sub-rectangle of roughly the equivalent number of pixels to lo-res, but in a widescreen aspect, is what's actually being rendered, i.e. the middle 320x240i of the 320x480i screen.
@@Felice_Enellen i don´t think so. If i understood, you are implying that the game is rendering at 320x240 in high res mode, and just displaying the 320x240 picture into a 320x480 frame. I don´t think that is correct, because the game graphics get smoother looking in high res mode, with subtle less aliasing than in normal 320x240p mode.
@@jsr734 No, what I mean is that it's a 320x480 display mode, and the game is only rendering the middle 320x240 region. So it's double the vertical resolution, but only using half of it, so still the same number of pixels, but still double the usual resolution within that letterboxed area.
It's a really hard game for beginners and it take some time to get the hang of it, but it's quite awesome when you do! Certainly one of the best racing games I ever played! Not to say one the best soundtracks ever!
A really nice looking game. Hi-Res is achived with those big borders in a 4:3 frame. You can actually zoom in when you're using an external scaler or an N64Digital mod: ruclips.net/video/GHWD_oD5kag/видео.html
This is actually very similar to the difference between NTSC and PAL N64 and 16 bit games. PAL has a better resolution but lower framerate and bigger borders.
Yes, the "Pal" system has better resolution, but many games were not typically optimized to use the higher resolution of Pal TVs, resulting in black bars at the top or bottom.
I cant really see a difference between the default and hi-res. the only difference is that its a little bit more smooth in the hi-res and the textures arent bouncing as much. but the difference in my opinion for this title is very small
lol "Hi-Res"... my ass ! 😂 - Let's just change the screen ratio to flatten the aliasing ! - But it will look smaller... - People won't notice it. People are so stupid !
The game is actually running at a higher res mode 512x240 vs the normal 320x240 and it actually takes into account the change in aspect putting more scenary to the sides and cutting some from the top and botton to keep the aspect proportional. Its not just stretching the screen.
@@vcdecide You are right!! I haven´t noticed 😅. Damn, they almost got it right 😞, all other elements look correct tough. Also proper anamorphic widescreen would have been preferable to this letterboxed presentation.
Me gustó mucho tu comparación, no todos tienen la misma capacidad de discernimiento de la realidad, y muchos vienen a este medio a buscar respuestas, en mi caso es entretenimiento, las diferencias a simple vista es que inmediatamente que solicitas al sistema que haga cambio de resolución hace un apagado de vídeo y vuelve con las cosas un poco más pequeñas, evidentemente cambia la resolución a mayor, y se ve que pasa de formato 4:3 a 16:9 o parecido, también al arrancar la carrera se ve una pequeña bajada de FPS, pero al pasar a los primeros puestos casi ni se siente entre una y otro modo de juego, en tal caso se hubiesen apoyado en el expansionpak y hubiese quedado aún mejor, me parece un gran juego, lo probé en el pasado pero no tuve mucho tiempo con el. Saludos y felicitaciones con tus análisis.
Una cosa es memoria y otra es capacidad de cálculo. Con más memoria puedes poner más resolución y hacer otras cosas. Pero la tasa de relleno de pixels es la misma (o puede que incluso menor si el acceso a la memoria extra es más lento), por lo tanto el juego puede perder imágenes por segundo
For a moment, I thought I had written the title of the video incorrectly, but I just checked and saw that the video title is correct (Nintendo 64 vs Nintendo 64). Anyway, I remembered ClayFighter 63...
um canal que infelizmente não lembro o nome fez alguns testes e concluiu que o N64 nunca precisou do expansion pak pra rodar o Majora's, Dk64 ou qualquer outro jogo que necesite deles. acho que foi tudo um erro de programação, ou mal programado, ou só mentira pra vender acessório. mas o canal realmente provou que rodariam sem a expansão!
Excelente princesa caju. Pena que alguns jogos não da para fazer a comparação por não funcionarem sem o expandor pack. Mas espero que um dia faça do resident evil 2.
Whoaaaa...... Where's the shiny shiny on the cars, if this was the n64 equivalent of Poliphony's GT, then there should be a shiny shiny on the painty painty 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Mas o expansion pack, não ajuda em muita coisa. Já que a grande falha do N64 é a sua infima RAM para texturas de 4kb. O expansion pack, adiciona RAM lenta.
Ram lenta? você quer dizer que existe isso de SLOW RAM e FAST RAM a respeito do Nintendo 64 ? igual como é com os cartuchos do SNES com o SLOW ROM e FAST ROM ? Pra que essas complicações ? será que a Nintendo planejava vender futuramente o Expansion Pak com FAST RAM ?
@@vcdecide the ‘fast ram’ is used to store textures (TRAM). There are many different types of ram. For instance, the Mega Drive colour ram (CRAM) is extremely fast and stores only 4, 4bit pallets. There are several different types of ram present in the Mega Drive which range quite dramatically in speed (and cost). Although I am confused as to how just 4KB could be enough to store all the textures used in a scene. I feel the full picture is more complicated
@@iwanttocomplain the 4kb doesn't store all the textures in a scene; it holds only a few textures at most The games need to continuosly change which texture is in this memory as the polygons are being drawn In fact, one optimization for n64 games was to try to draw together polygons that had the same texture, in order to avoid the cost of uploading a texture multiple times in a single frame
@@Link-zx7dn Não é, esse jogo não é conhecido, tanto é que foi o último jogo da desenvolvedora ''Boss Game Studios'', o que significa que o estúdio dependia das vendas desse jogo para não falir, mas o jogo flopou e a desenvolvedora faliu.... Se você perguntar a cada 100 donos de Nintendo 64 sobre esse jogo, apenas 1 irá saber da existência desse jogo, e isso hoje em dia, em um mundo muito mais informado e globalizado com a internet, onde as pessoas tem mais acesso a informação sobre os jogos e etc, pois antes, na época desse jogo, os donos do Nintendo 64 só queriam saber de jogos da Nintendo (Mario Kart, Zelda e etc) e de jogos da Rare (007 Goldeneye, Donkey Kong 64 e etc) O perfil do público do Nintendo 64, não estavam atrás de simuladores de carros, sendo que esse público já estava no playstation e jogando gran turismo. Só mesmo o público que acompanhava as revistas de games da época ou o público que estavam procurando por um jogo parecido com Gran Turismo no Nintendo 64, é que tomaram conhecimento desse jogo, mas como não o suficiente para evitar que esse jogo flopasse e fosse um fracasso em vendas (não conseguiu nem mesmo ficar entre os 150 jogos mais vendidos do N64) e com isso a desenvolvedora foi a falência.
@@vcdecide Eu tbm ia descordar dele, eu ja tinha visto falar desse jogo mas não parado pra ver algumas gameplays ou mesmo ter jogado ele, então por isso considero desconhecido sim
@@KeyDesh a Maior parte das pessoas que ouviram falar desse jogo, foi mais pela fama dele de ser o ''Gran Turismo do Nintendo 64'' do que pelo jogo em si. Você percebe que há algo de errado quando um apelido do jogo é mais conhecido que o próprio jogo em si, há mais chances da pessoa saber da existência desse jogo através do apelido ''Gran Turismo'' do que pelo nome do jogo em si (World Driver Championship)
Yes, this game is relatively difficult, but it's very rewarding when you learn (master) it and start winning races So, for those looking for a racing game with good longevity and a solid challenge, this game may be the ideal choice.
Hice un video sobre este juego mencionando eso mismo de que es el gran turismo de nintendo 64 y fueron a hablarme mal por eso, jajajaja pero no entienden el punto con el que se compara un juego con otro
Can I be honest? I just really don't like this game. Like I don't know what it is. I can tell the developers put a lot of hard work into it, and there was a lot of passion put into this, but it just looks ugly and plays kinda boring to me. I had this as a kid, and GT1 and 2 eventually, but really none of those titles were as good as Beetle Adventure Racing
Sim, este jogo não utiliza o expansion pak para aumentar a resolução como outros jogos do N64, por isso esse método peculiar (com presença de black bars).... E também gosto mais do modo normal por ser em tela cheia. Mas não deixa de ser uma forma interessante de vermos como a desenvolvedora optou para ofertar em um jogo que não utiliza o cartucho a opção HI-RES.
@@vcdecide sim, o modo hi res é bom também e quem tinha n64 na epoca como eu, lembra como o gran turismo foi famoso e como as empresas correram atras de fazer seu "gran turismo".
@@richarddean8882 exatamente, o gran turismo foi muito famoso, e quando uma coisa é famosa e bem sucedida, logo aparecem as ''inspirações'' ( ) um bom exemplo disso tudo é o Super Mario Kart/ Mario Kart 64, que foi um jogo bastante famoso e com isso apareceram diversas empresas tentando fazer o seu "mario kart" para tentar capitalizar Há outros exemplos como Smash Bros que hoje em dia tem vários jogos do tipo e entre outros
I think the expression "What's the catch?" would work also. I mean in high resolution mode you have everything squashed and stretched with those black bars you would see in widescreen film home releases. I would prefer the standard resolution out of convivence of not having squint at my TV screen for the novelty of high resolution. Also the car looks like Mustang GT or Skyline GT-R. No music? Even after the rocking intro sequence.
I think the car I'm playing with is the car you mentioned (Mustang GT). And I also prefer the default resolution because it's Full Screen. Regarding the music, this time it wasn't due to issues, but rather a personal preference of mine to play without the music.
@@vcdecide The default resolution would've made multiplayer much more tolerable. I couldn't see playing split screen with high resolution mode enabled. Also I would've enjoyed this game. I like the Ps2 Gran Turismo games, however I felt they could be a little overwhelming at times.
You know, they could have opted to show this high res mode 512x240 in full screen instead i guess. Altough i think they left it like that because the way the N64 scales this resolution. But i would also have liked a full screen 512x240p fullscreen output and with anamorphic widescreen. Also in normal res i would like the option to show the replays in normal res aswell.
@@vcdecide I can definitely see the desire to remove music from side-by-side comparisons when possible, once the two sides' soundtracks fall out of sync it becomes a hair-pulling experience.
"Gran Turismo has better graphics" they say...Gran Turismo would like to have circuits as big and solid as WDC. The only thing better in Gran Turismo are the reflections of the cars, nothing more.
It is important to remember that Gran Turismo has the licenses for real cars, which means that the cars have their corresponding names from the real world.
I didn't know this game for n64. but from this video it seems that ia cars are a very poor challenge (you take a 360, you restart slowly and you're still able to win...) as indeed on gt1 and gt2
@@lucahitman Actually, I only managed to win because I learned how to play the game (after a lot of practice) It is a relatively difficult game and requires a certain learning curve to control the cars well.
Esse jogo é para separar os homens das crianças. 😁 A jogabilidade dele não é para qualquer um e a dificuldade (a partir do 3° campeonato) é bem desafiante. Em questão de qualidade, este é o melhor jogo de corrida do N64, para mim.
al poner las franjas negras le ahorras calculos de pixeles a la consola pudiendo asi subir la resolucion sin perder fps pero aun asi se nota que va mas lento en hi res yo prefiero jugarlo en low y tener mas fps que poner high res de hecho.. todos los juegos de N64 tanto con expansion pak como no cuando le pones hi res reduces mucho fps sin embargo aca en este juego el bajada de fps esta muy bien logrado pero si lo pones por ejemplo en duke nukem zero hours es injugable... star wars racer lo mismo perfect dark lo mismo de hecho perfect dark es uno de los poeres en fps en esa consola al punto que el juego es dificil de jugar por la mala respuesta al control mi recomendacion siempre tanto que tengas expansion pak como no es no poner alta resolucion hay juegos donde la cosa va mas alla de solo poner alta resolucion en san francisco rush hours 2049 podes jugar 2 jugadores con expansion pak y se te desbloquea una nueva pista que no se puede jugar sin expansion pak y tambien tiene efectos especiales extras dentro del juego que no es aumentar la resolucion en gauntllet legend permite jugar 4 jugadores al mismo tiempo con expansion pak en starcraft con expansion pak permite jugar 2 jugadores que sin el no se puede el mas conocido perfect dark que permite jugar el modo campaña que sin expansion pak solo podes jugar multiplayer con bots pero el mayor logro en calidad grafica y calidad sin expansion pak se lo gana conker bad fur day que tiene graficos equivalente al perfect dark y incluso en ciertos casos lo supera SIN NECESIDAD de expansion pak
Nintendo was always good at taking money from their customers. I bet the games that supposedly need this fricking expansion could easily run without it. Completely different case to Saturn's expansion which was worth every penny.
The only games that truly require the Expansion Pak to run are Donkey Kong 64, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and Perfect Dark (Single-Player Campaign)
But the Saturn´s ram expansion was used mostly for 2d sprite games, i think the only Saturn 3d game that used the expansion was a Final Fight fighting game.
You're wong in so many ways that's actually funny. Aside from Perfect, Majoras and DK64, all games compatible with the expansion pack worked just fine without it. So, really, WTF are you talking about? (and hell, DK64 and Majoras even came with one for free) GameSack made a video showing all the games that use the expansion pack, and there are developers in the comments saying the loved the expansion pack because it was easy use and allowed to give a few extra framerate to the games.
@@gundamzerostrike so you have 3 games that this is mandatory to play. THREE GAMES, all the rest it only adds a couple of fps and slightly sharper textures, and you think that is ok? What a moron. Who cares about what the developers think. I'm a consumer. I want the bang for MY buck and this accessory rarely if ever justified its existence and that's what i'm talking about. And it didn't came for "free" these games it came with were more expensive than regular games.
Ficou mais tempo pregando filosofia de boteco do que tratando do assunto do vídeo em si. Perda de tempo. E o expansion Pac adicionava 4MB ao N64 e não 8.
Vejo que este é seu primeiro comentário aqui no canal, seja bem-vindo ! depois que conhecer o canal, você irá perceber que um dos objetivos do canal é filosofar sobre as comparações e fazer das pessoas um Ser Pensante. E quanto ao Expansion Pak, o fato de ser 4 e não 8 não altera o contexto, mas de qualquer forma, a sua correção é válida, já que o de 8 Megas é na verdade o Expansion Pak do Nintendo Ds do qual me confundi, e sim, há um Expansion Pak para o Nintendo DS também.

I love this type of comparissons on the N64 with and without expansion pak, i think is very interesting to see the struggles and ingenuity the developers had with the hardware and see how they used the extra memory to improve things and the sacrifices they had to do to make them happen.😉
👍👍👍
The comparison actually comes from the devs themselves. In interviews they said they goal was to make "the Gran Trusimo of the N64"
Pretty sure the overall display mode in hi-res mode is 320x480i and then a sub-rectangle of roughly the equivalent number of pixels to lo-res, but in a widescreen aspect, is what's actually being rendered, i.e. the middle 320x240i of the 320x480i screen.
@@Felice_Enellen i don´t think so. If i understood, you are implying that the game is rendering at 320x240 in high res mode, and just displaying the 320x240 picture into a 320x480 frame. I don´t think that is correct, because the game graphics get smoother looking in high res mode, with subtle less aliasing than in normal 320x240p mode.
@@jsr734 No, what I mean is that it's a 320x480 display mode, and the game is only rendering the middle 320x240 region. So it's double the vertical resolution, but only using half of it, so still the same number of pixels, but still double the usual resolution within that letterboxed area.
It's a really hard game for beginners and it take some time to get the hang of it, but it's quite awesome when you do! Certainly one of the best racing games I ever played! Not to say one the best soundtracks ever!
A really nice looking game. Hi-Res is achived with those big borders in a 4:3 frame. You can actually zoom in when you're using an external scaler or an N64Digital mod:

Interesting, but this wouldn't work on a 4:3 CRT TV
And yes, it is a very beautiful game.
I tried to play this game on my N64 Emulator & it still doesn't work. Any specific reason behind this???
Read the comment from @jsr734 to find out the answer 👍
Much better than Gran Turismo.

This is actually very similar to the difference between NTSC and PAL N64 and 16 bit games. PAL has a better resolution but lower framerate and bigger borders.
Yes, the "Pal" system has better resolution, but many games were not typically optimized to use the higher resolution of Pal TVs, resulting in black bars at the top or bottom.
@@vcdecide Correct! But this game also has big black bars and higher resolution, so it's similar :)
All I wanted was to see a comparison video, and man's going on a tangent on who can who can't see the difference between the two. 😂
I cant really see a difference between the default and hi-res. the only difference is that its a little bit more smooth in the hi-res and the textures arent bouncing as much. but the difference in my opinion for this title is very small
lol "Hi-Res"... my ass ! 😂
- Let's just change the screen ratio to flatten the aliasing !
- But it will look smaller...
- People won't notice it. People are so stupid !
🔍
The game is actually running at a higher res mode 512x240 vs the normal 320x240 and it actually takes into account the change in aspect putting more scenary to the sides and cutting some from the top and botton to keep the aspect proportional. Its not just stretching the screen.
@@jsr734 True, but the Lens Flare is stretched in the "Hi-RES" if you look closely 🌄🎥📸
@@vcdecide You are right!! I haven´t noticed 😅. Damn, they almost got it right 😞, all other elements look correct tough. Also proper anamorphic widescreen would have been preferable to this letterboxed presentation.
Me gustó mucho tu comparación, no todos tienen la misma capacidad de discernimiento de la realidad, y muchos vienen a este medio a buscar respuestas, en mi caso es entretenimiento, las diferencias a simple vista es que inmediatamente que solicitas al sistema que haga cambio de resolución hace un apagado de vídeo y vuelve con las cosas un poco más pequeñas, evidentemente cambia la resolución a mayor, y se ve que pasa de formato 4:3 a 16:9 o parecido, también al arrancar la carrera se ve una pequeña bajada de FPS, pero al pasar a los primeros puestos casi ni se siente entre una y otro modo de juego, en tal caso se hubiesen apoyado en el expansionpak y hubiese quedado aún mejor, me parece un gran juego, lo probé en el pasado pero no tuve mucho tiempo con el. Saludos y felicitaciones con tus análisis.
¡Gracias! ^^
Una cosa es memoria y otra es capacidad de cálculo. Con más memoria puedes poner más resolución y hacer otras cosas. Pero la tasa de relleno de pixels es la misma (o puede que incluso menor si el acceso a la memoria extra es más lento), por lo tanto el juego puede perder imágenes por segundo
I like GT64 more
First of all if you have old 4:3 TV, its nothing to do with hi res here. But if you have 16:9 CRT OR LCD TV...
Nintendo 63 vs Nintendo 64
For a moment, I thought I had written the title of the video incorrectly, but I just checked and saw that the video title is correct (Nintendo 64 vs Nintendo 64).
Anyway, I remembered ClayFighter 63...
just squashed into letterbox didnt really help it either , runs better as is. Cool game/video all the same.😀😀
Nothing that a magnifying glass can't solve (contains irony) 🔍
And yes, it's really a Good Game (no irony intended) ✔
um canal que infelizmente não lembro o nome fez alguns testes e concluiu que o N64 nunca precisou do expansion pak pra rodar o Majora's, Dk64 ou qualquer outro jogo que necesite deles. acho que foi tudo um erro de programação, ou mal programado, ou só mentira pra vender acessório. mas o canal realmente provou que rodariam sem a expansão!
Excelente princesa caju.
Pena que alguns jogos não da para fazer a comparação por não funcionarem sem o expandor pack.
Mas espero que um dia faça do resident evil 2.
acho que apenas Zelda Majora's Mask e Dk64, e sim, RE2 tá na lista, basta aguardar
@@vcdecide no aguardo.
Simples, como o N64 conseguiu a façanha do Hi-res, deixando a widescreen assim deixando o jogo mais bonito.
The N64 version of Gran Turismo we can say, very much like the Playstation exclusive.
For me left is better version
Whoaaaa...... Where's the shiny shiny on the cars, if this was the n64 equivalent of Poliphony's GT, then there should be a shiny shiny on the painty painty 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
🤣
But that's where the problem lies, it's not the GT from Polyphony, but rather the GT from the N64 💈🚗
Mas o expansion pack, não ajuda em muita coisa. Já que a grande falha do N64 é a sua infima RAM para texturas de 4kb. O expansion pack, adiciona RAM lenta.
Ram lenta?
você quer dizer que existe isso de SLOW RAM e FAST RAM a respeito do Nintendo 64 ? igual como é com os cartuchos do SNES com o SLOW ROM e FAST ROM ?
Pra que essas complicações ? será que a Nintendo planejava vender futuramente o Expansion Pak com FAST RAM ?
@@vcdecide the ‘fast ram’ is used to store textures (TRAM). There are many different types of ram. For instance, the Mega Drive colour ram (CRAM) is extremely fast and stores only 4, 4bit pallets. There are several different types of ram present in the Mega Drive which range quite dramatically in speed (and cost).
Although I am confused as to how just 4KB could be enough to store all the textures used in a scene. I feel the full picture is more complicated
@@iwanttocomplain thanks
@@iwanttocomplain the 4kb doesn't store all the textures in a scene; it holds only a few textures at most
The games need to continuosly change which texture is in this memory as the polygons are being drawn
In fact, one optimization for n64 games was to try to draw together polygons that had the same texture, in order to avoid the cost of uploading a texture multiple times in a single frame
@@BlackDragonTK ok. I read that the bandwidth/speed of the tram was an issue.
Você posta umas hiddem gems interessantes q eu nunca tinha visto, taí um jogo de carro q parece bom do N64
esse jogo é conhecido
@@Link-zx7dn Não é, esse jogo não é conhecido, tanto é que foi o último jogo da desenvolvedora ''Boss Game Studios'', o que significa que o estúdio dependia das vendas desse jogo para não falir, mas o jogo flopou e a desenvolvedora faliu....
Se você perguntar a cada 100 donos de Nintendo 64 sobre esse jogo, apenas 1 irá saber da existência desse jogo, e isso hoje em dia, em um mundo muito mais informado e globalizado com a internet, onde as pessoas tem mais acesso a informação sobre os jogos e etc, pois antes, na época desse jogo, os donos do Nintendo 64 só queriam saber de jogos da Nintendo (Mario Kart, Zelda e etc) e de jogos da Rare (007 Goldeneye, Donkey Kong 64 e etc)
O perfil do público do Nintendo 64, não estavam atrás de simuladores de carros, sendo que esse público já estava no playstation e jogando gran turismo.
Só mesmo o público que acompanhava as revistas de games da época ou o público que estavam procurando por um jogo parecido com Gran Turismo no Nintendo 64, é que tomaram conhecimento desse jogo, mas como não o suficiente para evitar que esse jogo flopasse e fosse um fracasso em vendas (não conseguiu nem mesmo ficar entre os 150 jogos mais vendidos do N64) e com isso a desenvolvedora foi a falência.
@@vcdecide Eu tbm ia descordar dele, eu ja tinha visto falar desse jogo mas não parado pra ver algumas gameplays ou mesmo ter jogado ele, então por isso considero desconhecido sim
@@KeyDesh a Maior parte das pessoas que ouviram falar desse jogo, foi mais pela fama dele de ser o ''Gran Turismo do Nintendo 64'' do que pelo jogo em si.
Você percebe que há algo de errado quando um apelido do jogo é mais conhecido que o próprio jogo em si, há mais chances da pessoa saber da existência desse jogo através do apelido ''Gran Turismo'' do que pelo nome do jogo em si (World Driver Championship)
@@vcdecide Esse jogo joguei muito quando tinha o N64,alugava ele sempre.
This game is hard enough to complete.
Yes, this game is relatively difficult, but it's very rewarding when you learn (master) it and start winning races
So, for those looking for a racing game with good longevity and a solid challenge, this game may be the ideal choice.
@@vcdecide Indeed, is very rewarding when you start winning races and get used to the car´s handling.
Hice un video sobre este juego mencionando eso mismo de que es el gran turismo de nintendo 64 y fueron a hablarme mal por eso, jajajaja pero no entienden el punto con el que se compara un juego con otro
Can I be honest? I just really don't like this game. Like I don't know what it is. I can tell the developers put a lot of hard work into it, and there was a lot of passion put into this, but it just looks ugly and plays kinda boring to me. I had this as a kid, and GT1 and 2 eventually, but really none of those titles were as good as Beetle Adventure Racing
Inclusive o Gran turismo e um dos melhores jogos de simulação real
para e exclusivamente PlayStation.
Assim, bem explicado nao usa expansion pak.
Prefiro o normal mesmo.
Sim, este jogo não utiliza o expansion pak para aumentar a resolução como outros jogos do N64, por isso esse método peculiar (com presença de black bars)....
E também gosto mais do modo normal por ser em tela cheia.
Mas não deixa de ser uma forma interessante de vermos como a desenvolvedora optou para ofertar em um jogo que não utiliza o cartucho a opção HI-RES.
@@vcdecide sim, o modo hi res é bom também e quem tinha n64 na epoca como eu, lembra como o gran turismo foi famoso e como as empresas correram atras de fazer seu "gran turismo".
@@richarddean8882 exatamente, o gran turismo foi muito famoso, e quando uma coisa é famosa e bem sucedida, logo aparecem as ''inspirações'' ( )
um bom exemplo disso tudo é o Super Mario Kart/ Mario Kart 64, que foi um jogo bastante famoso e com isso apareceram diversas empresas tentando fazer o seu "mario kart" para tentar capitalizar
Há outros exemplos como Smash Bros que hoje em dia tem vários jogos do tipo e entre outros
I think the expression "What's the catch?" would work also. I mean in high resolution mode you have everything squashed and stretched with those black bars you would see in widescreen film home releases. I would prefer the standard resolution out of convivence of not having squint at my TV screen for the novelty of high resolution. Also the car looks like Mustang GT or Skyline GT-R. No music? Even after the rocking intro sequence.
I think the car I'm playing with is the car you mentioned (Mustang GT).
And I also prefer the default resolution because it's Full Screen.
Regarding the music, this time it wasn't due to issues, but rather a personal preference of mine to play without the music.
@@vcdecide The default resolution would've made multiplayer much more tolerable. I couldn't see playing split screen with high resolution mode enabled. Also I would've enjoyed this game. I like the Ps2 Gran Turismo games, however I felt they could be a little overwhelming at times.
You know, they could have opted to show this high res mode 512x240 in full screen instead i guess. Altough i think they left it like that because the way the N64 scales this resolution. But i would also have liked a full screen 512x240p fullscreen output and with anamorphic widescreen. Also in normal res i would like the option to show the replays in normal res aswell.
This is also similar to the difference between PAL and NTSC 16bit and N64 games. Especially when not optimised.
@@vcdecide I can definitely see the desire to remove music from side-by-side comparisons when possible, once the two sides' soundtracks fall out of sync it becomes a hair-pulling experience.
"Gran Turismo has better graphics" they say...Gran Turismo would like to have circuits as big and solid as WDC. The only thing better in Gran Turismo are the reflections of the cars, nothing more.
It is important to remember that Gran Turismo has the licenses for real cars, which means that the cars have their corresponding names from the real world.
En WDC los autos también tienen reflejos, sólo que no tan exagerados...
I didn't know this game for n64. but from this video it seems that ia cars are a very poor challenge (you take a 360, you restart slowly and you're still able to win...) as indeed on gt1 and gt2
@@lucahitman WDC es mucho más difícil que GT, sólo juegalo y verás porqué lo digo...
@@lucahitman Actually, I only managed to win because I learned how to play the game (after a lot of practice)
It is a relatively difficult game and requires a certain learning curve to control the cars well.
Esse jogo é para separar os homens das crianças. 😁
A jogabilidade dele não é para qualquer um e a dificuldade (a partir do 3° campeonato) é bem desafiante.
Em questão de qualidade, este é o melhor jogo de corrida do N64, para mim.
The explanation is that in hi res mode, the game in interlaced resolution, so is half the effort.
al poner las franjas negras le ahorras calculos de pixeles a la consola pudiendo asi subir la resolucion sin perder fps pero aun asi se nota que va mas lento en hi res
yo prefiero jugarlo en low y tener mas fps que poner high res de hecho.. todos los juegos de N64 tanto con expansion pak como no cuando le pones hi res reduces mucho fps sin embargo aca en este juego el bajada de fps esta muy bien logrado
pero si lo pones por ejemplo en duke nukem zero hours es injugable... star wars racer lo mismo perfect dark lo mismo
de hecho perfect dark es uno de los poeres en fps en esa consola al punto que el juego es dificil de jugar por la mala respuesta al control
mi recomendacion siempre tanto que tengas expansion pak como no es no poner alta resolucion
hay juegos donde la cosa va mas alla de solo poner alta resolucion en san francisco rush hours 2049 podes jugar 2 jugadores con expansion pak y se te desbloquea una nueva pista que no se puede jugar sin expansion pak y tambien tiene efectos especiales extras dentro del juego que no es aumentar la resolucion
en gauntllet legend permite jugar 4 jugadores al mismo tiempo con expansion pak en starcraft con expansion pak permite jugar 2 jugadores que sin el no se puede
el mas conocido perfect dark que permite jugar el modo campaña que sin expansion pak solo podes jugar multiplayer con bots
pero el mayor logro en calidad grafica y calidad sin expansion pak se lo gana conker bad fur day que tiene graficos equivalente al perfect dark y incluso en ciertos casos lo supera SIN NECESIDAD de expansion pak
Nintendo was always good at taking money from their customers. I bet the games that supposedly need this fricking expansion could easily run without it.
Completely different case to Saturn's expansion which was worth every penny.
The only games that truly require the Expansion Pak to run are Donkey Kong 64, The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, and Perfect Dark (Single-Player Campaign)
But the Saturn´s ram expansion was used mostly for 2d sprite games, i think the only Saturn 3d game that used the expansion was a Final Fight fighting game.
You're wong in so many ways that's actually funny.
Aside from Perfect, Majoras and DK64, all games compatible with the expansion pack worked just fine without it. So, really, WTF are you talking about? (and hell, DK64 and Majoras even came with one for free)
GameSack made a video showing all the games that use the expansion pack, and there are developers in the comments saying the loved the expansion pack because it was easy use and allowed to give a few extra framerate to the games.
@@gundamzerostrike so you have 3 games that this is mandatory to play. THREE GAMES, all the rest it only adds a couple of fps and slightly sharper textures, and you think that is ok?
What a moron. Who cares about what the developers think. I'm a consumer. I want the bang for MY buck and this accessory rarely if ever justified its existence and that's what i'm talking about.
And it didn't came for "free" these games it came with were more expensive than regular games.
Left: iPad Game
Right: iPhone Game
One thing that this game looks fantastic is its use of color.....its WAY superior to the ugly 4/8bit textures on GT2
Ficou mais tempo pregando filosofia de boteco do que tratando do assunto do vídeo em si. Perda de tempo.
E o expansion Pac adicionava 4MB ao N64 e não 8.
Vejo que este é seu primeiro comentário aqui no canal, seja bem-vindo !
depois que conhecer o canal, você irá perceber que um dos objetivos do canal é filosofar sobre as comparações e fazer das pessoas um Ser Pensante.
E quanto ao Expansion Pak, o fato de ser 4 e não 8 não altera o contexto, mas de qualquer forma, a sua correção é válida, já que o de 8 Megas é na verdade o Expansion Pak do Nintendo Ds do qual me confundi, e sim, há um Expansion Pak para o Nintendo DS também.
Mais uma vez, seja bem vindo !
I see not a difference ,… its useless mod
you will notice de huge difference running in a CRT
