The biggest crime in the video game cars is the cop. You could drive a McLaren F1, Koenigsegg Agera, or Bugatti Chiron and Still some cop in the SUV will still chase you and employ a rolling roadblock manoeuvre effortlessly
What's the issue here? Cops doing their job? Roadblocks are a real tactic, and if they can't run you down because you've got triple their horsepower, a series of roadblocks is the best way to stop you. Police have radios, they can call in backup to set up roadblocks. Unless, by "rolling roadblock manoeuvre" you mean the PIT maneuver, which is when they tap the rear bumper from the side, causing you to spin out. That only works if they can catch up to you in a straight line
@@ritvikgiridharan2845 Never seen that in any game. Either they fall behind, like in GTA, or they break out supercars of their own, like Need for Speed
@@filmandfirearms Need for Speed is one of the biggest culprits of this. In Most Wanted 2005 the crummy Impala looking police things will keep up with an SLR McLaren.
callum bowyer Are you joking? Don't you know that assassin's kill their target while there's 100 people around and then just have a little chat right before they die and everyone always throughout history had to stop aiming at the assassin cuz he was chatting with his dying victim?
Okazawa Games Yeah, legit fact. Also personal guards who protect these people always gave the Assassin time to finish off the kill, after they had a little chat of course. Manners were important in History.
Okazawa Games although, at least in the first one, and with some exceptions, important people killed throughout the games died in the right place and the right time...ish.
callum bowyer actually, yeah ... it's true. most people in the AC series actually died that way ... sort of. hey, it's a video game, of course they had to make it different to 'spice things up' for the audience (althought i rather say too much after it's yearly release over and over again)
You actually CAN pitch a car up or down while in mid air by accelerating in high gear or braking the rotating wheels. The reason this works is you add or remove rotational momentum to and from the wheels and due to conservation of momentum the car body will gain or lose angular momentum in the opposite direction. That however works better the heavier the wheels are in relation to the rest of the vehicle and in 4WD cars rather than 2WD. It is however true that THE AMMOUNT of control you have over a car with wheels that light (as in games) is entirely unrealistic, but in for example, RC cars, where the wheels are very heavy (relative to the overall mass of the car) this is not just possible but regularly used to control the car in the air through jumps. There you can also control roll by applying steering angle during acceleration and braking.
Some of the "James Bond Stuff" is pretty accurate, though. For instance, in the old game Spy Hunter, you could shoot oil out of your car; according to my mechanic, my real-life car does that all the time.
I jumped out of my car in justcause3 and it hit a wall at speed to where if the wall was a few centimeters farther the car wouldn't hit but when it did it blew up and gave me a wanted level
To be fair you can somewhat change the direction of a car mid air. Well not really the direction, but the side and forward tilt. When you steer midair in one direction or another the car will tilt to the left or right a bit because of the spinning wheels acting like a gyroscope. When accelerating mid air the front stays up and when braking it will dip down. This is actually made use of in the Stadium Super Truck series
Some Weeb Nah, especially in the supertrucks and other offroad races you have to do it all the time, or you'll roll over on the landing or if not that land nose first.
Actually no, as weapon grade uranium and plutonium would not have been used for transportation, as it would be unsuitable. What makes nuclear reactors tick is that they have a slow burn. Even if you were to extract the cooling rods and let the reaction go out of control it still wouldn't create a nuclear bomb it would simply super heat itself until it would melt through the floor of the reactor and bury itself into the earth which creates a whole series of problems none of which is nuclear blast. Any explosion at a nuclear plant is actually the water cooling system. But lets say they did put weapon grade uranium or plutonium into the vehicle, it still would not go boom as it would need 1 of 2 things to happen for this, 1 is the bullet method where a uranium bullet is fired through a tube filled with heavy water into a receptive piece of like material, the same way Little Boy worked. The secont method is creating an implosion by detonating explosives in sync around the material causing the material to collapse and go nuclear if even 1 of the explosions is off it won't go critical mass, this was the method used in Fat Man. The cars instead would become dirty bombs spewing out radiation in every direction. Still bad but not as epic as a explosion I guess.
I would ask for citations on that, but saying this is science and not, say yesterdays politics, I have little reason to disbelieve you. That and I'm too busy to verify, and it doesn't make much difference to me either way. Fun facts, though.
+quentin brandt Except the nuclear rods in the car (most likely Thorium) have to magically break down at the atomic level into benzene molecules that will combust as soon as your bullets hit them as the bullets are actually made of frozen oxygen and can help make the car go boom boom since this is a videogame.
and in combat evolved if you put a mountain of grenades and explosive barrels under it then shot a rocket directly at some fusion coils it would land in your back yard a couple hours later.
Well, the burnout games rewarded you for destroying your car. I don't think they bothered to get much right other than large lump of metal +four wheels =vroom vroom
Well the first game did a LITTLE serious, but they found people liked crashing so much they made that a feature. I mean it was drive dangerous for a speed boost and that was about all in the first one beyond racing. It was a great series though before EA bought the publisher(and Paradise City was actually still good).
+BR34NY not to mention magically fixing it with a floating spanner, or summoning a new one with the nonexistent phone booth you drove through while crashing it
I know that I'm totally necro-ing this, but I thought I should also mention that you can do the same thing in GTA3 and maybe vice city, just get someones car to start burning with the driver still inside, then time it just right so that you're pulling the driver out of the vehicle right as it explodes. you won't be hurt, and you'll get to drive around the smoldering husk XD

5:40 "They can sail through lamp posts but are seemingly allergic to trees" -- actually, irl things like lamp posts are made to fail in a specific way to reduce injury to drivers. Although I wouldn't recommend trying it, most things like street signs will crumple and fall if hit by a car instead of being totally immovable. Concrete barriers are not built this way, they are meant to keep your out of control car from injuring other people (like construction workers, opposite direction-travelling traffic, or government officials), so if you do stupidly decide to test natural selection, don't try running into one of them. If you go check out a stop sign in your neighborhood, you'll see that the bottom isn't just jammed into the concrete, there's a little rectangular thing that is, and then a second little rectangular thing that attaches the stick the sign is on to the one in the ground. It's only about like 6 inches or so, and it's right towards the bottom, so you probably never even noticed it. That is the part that is designed to fail if hit with enough force. Source: I went on a lot of tours of the American Federal Highway Administration's headquarters because of my mom's desire to "connect" with her dead father, who was a former top dog there. Also learned some interesting stuff about lighting...they actually do have a light that, if they were to put it in street lights, would still let you see the stars at night with a simple telescope even in a big city, but they don't use it because it makes road signs harder to read. Also they have a big machine that just simulates having a bunch of trucks driving all day, every day, in weird weather to test different asphalt compounds and figure out how good they are for different environments. And they paid $1 million USD for the first car with a built-in GPS unit, which is kinda crazy to think about considering your phone has it for free and you don't stop to think about that.
Did you know that, on my way to work everyday, I see this parking lot entrance with two concrete blocks/barriers sitting right in the middle. The thing is, they're so white that I at first thought they were blocks of Styrofoam that somebody had left out. I can't help but think about running into on purpose every time I see them now.
What about those tiny trees that somehow stop you dead in your tracks, even if you're driving a fucking tank? Or the bushes. I wish the bushes were at least consistent. Some of them, you can drive straight through. Others, stop you
I mean, I know what you're talking about in terms of lamp posts, but they do not break as easily as they do in games where your car is not even damaged as a result of it... The amount of force that is required would also destroy your car especially since the front of your car is a crumple zone, also a safety feature...
Thank you for including drifting. I hate how movies and video games have convinced people that drifting is actually a fast way around a corner... It's done for show, it's literally the slowest way around a track...
Most of what you said is spot on. The bouncing speedo needle was fairly common on the older cable driven speedometers (and that suv looks like it's probably from the 80s). It indicates that the cable is bent or broken.
The criticism for the "Drowning in a truck"-scene is unfounded, because cars actually take a pretty long time to fill with water. The developers surprisingly got that one right. for proof I would point you to a certain MythBusters episode.
@@FireInferno1234 Yeah, I looked, and Dunn's head is slowly getting covered. It's up just over halfway by the time you shoot out the windshield. Another 20 seconds, it probably would've reached his eyes. I'm pretty sure they even say the car is filling up
Heard of heel and toe braking? Watch professional circuit racers, they do that shit all the time. In rally, they use the much more risky and much more effective technique of left foot braking. If you don't do it right, you'll stall your engine and spinning out is very likely, when it comes to a rally course. This, coming from a guy who has tried left foot braking. Bad idea if you don't know what you're doing
How to have fun: get fastest car in saints row 2 (beizeir) turn on these cheats: 4x bigger explosion, low gravity, car mass hole. Drive into gas station next to the big rim jobs. Enjoy
The last one definitely applies to just cause 3. Everything in that game explodes, even a boxcar that contains no engine or fuel will explode if you shoot it a few times. But that's what makes Just Cause great.
The lamppost/tree thing is one of the times they got it right and it does work that way. Lampposts and the like are specifically designed to give way so people don't die if they crash into them. Trees aren't. You can absolutely knock over lampposts with a car, then total it by wrapping it around a small tree.
+Scream Like You Mean It, +jamilla garrett, +PATTIEMANJOHNSON James Watt did not miscalculate anything, because: 1. The power of "one horse" greatly depends on the type of horse, how old it is and how well you fed and trained it for its task, among others. It's about as good a unit of measurement as using "one bread" for weight. 2. Watt calculated how much work one of the work horses that were used in one mine (I think they used ponies because they fit better into the narrow mining shafts, and could turn around more easily) could produce OVER TIME. The average power one horse (or pony) could output over a whole working day. 3. Why do people use 'horse power' anyway?
+Franz Luggin I believe we use horsepower because cars are, essentially, adaptations of horse-drawn carriages. We use it to compare modern vehicles to these carriages. That answers why we USED it (I think), but not why we still use it, to which I have no idea...
how could you talk about cars exploding and not bring up the worst offender: Saints Row The Third??? During the mission to rescue Zimos from the BDSM club, you get into a car chase, where the cars are replaced with gimp-drawn carriages that... somehow... explode if you shoot them.
TheMadisonMachine Saints Row is game that laughs at physics, chemistry and any other science. Dude in 4th game you became president of USA by falling through the roof of white house and you can stop world hunger by giving everyone some cake.
TheMadisonMachine that's true, but white house thing is not. Beside my point was that Saints Row is making of everyone else. That was reason for exploding carriages. In those games everything can explode :)
It's kind of funny hear you guy's talk about car's, Nos and stuff made my night when he said it's something that a Ad Cherokee would say I hope I can can see more of video game guy's talk about vtec kick in yo. lol
+Sour Oddity Even realistic games aren't that realistic, I mean, I don't think anyone in their right mind would let me take a $1,500,000 racecar out on the track when I have no experience with racing at all. The same thing for games like War Thunder, I don't have a Spitfire in real life, and even if I did, WWII is over I can't respawn in real life.
+Adam Lawrence Nah, it probably has to do with doing stupid shit that would cause problems for us in real-life (for curiosity or wish-fulfillment) and doing it in games instead, to experience emotions and problems that feel real and create immersive experiences without having any of the real-life consequences from these experiences (like a videogame about war as opposed to a real war), or to just have a challenging experience in a game.
MySerpentine even the pinto thing was massively overblown. The famous video of one getting rear ended and catching on fire and blowing up was rigged. The news station got in a lot of trouble for it but it was years later. The Bronco II/ Suzuki samurai roll over one was also rigged as well.
This video is scarily similar to me looking at weapon mechanics. Still not sure why popcult railguns fire laserbeams or how no development team seems to have ever understood how compensators work...
to be fair to GTAV real life lamp posts are fitted with breakaway bolts to make them softer to collide with, hence they really do break more easily than trees.
No Mario Kart references? That game was drifting extreme! I drift in that game so much, I've started doing it whenever I go go-karting irl. It's amazingly fun.
i think because they are a xbox channel they aren't allowed to talk about games on other platforms like ps and nintendo exclusives, though i'm not sure
For the first one, downshifting to first woukd more likely kill the engine than the clutch or trans. One of the main limitations to rpm is valve float, the rpm surge would induce valve float and youd get contact between valves and pistons. Still right on it being highly unrealistic way to drift though.
Thank you thank you thank you for this video! I've been a mechanic for decades and in my experience only other mechanics (and my buddy who is a car guy) have ever SMHed at video games getting cars all wrong. You guys made me feel normal again...for almost 10 minutes.
Infinite number of gears? Constantly revving up and shifting up as long as you are pressing the accelerator button? (older GTA games, Burnout paradise)
@@KoolaidHippie it *could* work if you use incendiary ammunition, but that would probably only set it on fire, if anything. To make gas or fuel explode, you need the right amount of explosive and oxygen. That's why old cars and cheaper motors (like in scooters or lawn mowers) often have a "joke" button or lever, since the mixture must have more fuel (known as being a fatter mix where I'm from) to ignite under colder conditions, which gave it the nickname "coldstart" (even in summer, a not running motor is cold compared to when it's running)
I once had an aerial vertical spin by taking off at a ramp and hitting a random car at the same time. The game was NFS: Hot Pursuit 2. I was rendered speechless at the moment and regretted not recording that race.
I was just talking about Total Overdose the other day. You could smash through almost anything in a car, but if you jumped out of the car and it it something while going 2 mph, it exploded. Made for some quality entertainment.
Rejected Productions That's not the cars that are wrong... When you run into the swingset, it gets pushed into the ground (as it is unable to be damaged) and springs back up really fast. That spring is what flings your car through the air.
MoonUnit IV If swingsets behaved like that in real life, yeah. I'm not saying the cars in GTAIV are totally correct, but the swingset glitch is not caused by the cars being buggy
+DGKacey You are correct. It was just the way you phrased it made it sound like that there is some actual logic in such situations relating to a particular aspect of said game. Where in truth it's just that someone made a mistake that caused a general logic breaker. (That was a lot of mumbo jumbo. I was also just being cynical, and I apologize.)
actually the battle feild one is quite accurate watch mythbusters it took quite some time for the car to fill. maybe not as long as in the game but still quite some time
Another couple things ive seen in need for speed. I could head on collision a car and i will flip and roll. In real life, i wouldnt. Second thing, also from need for speed, i could tee bone a semi truck and the trailer will tip over on its side. Real life, my car would be massacred and the trailer would be dented but not fallen over
theoretically the speeds in need for speed should be high enough to do that. But most of the cars that could get those speeds would go under the trailer and lose their tops and your head
Hellwyck You're partially right. The error is in the phrasing. "I could collide with a car head-on" is a grammatically correct sentence. Also collision is not a verb as per OP's comment.
Where's the segment about the car insurance and filling out 4 papers to purchase a car? Where? Why can we not switch to geico to save 15% or more on car insurance?
Wow sir, I think you've earned the most idiotic thing I've read today. Fun and simulators don't go together. How does launching a car 10 metres in the air become a simulator? It is a self parody, that's why it's fun and doesn't take itself seriously. Like, you literally pointed out why it isn't a simulator in your own comment. Wtf?
+ItsMoi Moi Boost behind another car is called slipstreaming, and happens every time, only visible in high-speed racing however. Driving on two wheels? Possible, but barely controllable. Don't try it in real life, though.
***** Well you also would need to modify the transmisison to be able to shift from 5th into reverse. My car doesn't do that, it won't let you shift into reverse if you are going forward.
Two things: 1: That's Mario. Mario is a fat, overweight man with a too perfect Mustache and the jumping skills of a fucking NBA star who lives in a world filled with sentient mushrooms and semi sentient chestnuts. There is no logic. 2: these guys are Xbox exclusive, and Mario does not, and probably will never, fall under the Xbox category.
+Lord Scolipede these guys do cover non-Xbox games, but rarely Nintendo. But making fun of Mario Kart for being unrealistic is a bit silly, since it's not meant to be realistic at all.
1:10 keiichi tsuchiya actually proved that half drifting (when the tires are on the verge of breaking traction but the car is angled just right so the they don't they just make a squealing sound) is faster than a full grip run. This is because the slight oversteer counters understeer while still not fully losing traction. Racers use slight liftoff oversteer especially in fwd cars. Although full out drifting is slower than both half drift and a full grip run.
Mike did the whole video. I didn’t expect that. The only time i remember cars not being authentic to realism is when the batmobile went sideways in one of the batman arkham games.
The bit about cars running over lamp posts and stopping dead at a tree is sort of accurate. The lamp post shouldn't fall like it's made of Legos, but a car can topple one pretty easily. However trees are so firmly rooted into the ground that when you hit one it's not going anywhere, but your car might split in two. That's why if your breaks are out and your options are to hit a person or a tree, the best chance for both of you two live is hitting the person.
My uncle told me a story once. He had this old pickup truck that didn't have working breaks. He would downshift to slow down and run into shit to stop. He had picked a girl up for a date and they were going down a hill when the light ahead turned red. He downshifted, but they weren't slowing down enough. He told her to buckle her seatbelt, then steered off the road into a tree. Then this exchange happened. "Why did you do that?" "My brakes don't work." "What do you mean your brakes don't work?" "They don't stop the truck." "Why would you pick me up in a truck that doesn't have brakes?" "I wanted to impress you. I wanted you think I had a decent car." "What are you going to do if we have to go down another hill?" "We're not going down any more hills. We're taking the long way." Then he backed the truck up onto the road and kept driving. The body was made of steel, so neither the truck nor the tree took any real damage.
I think what he means that when a car bumps into a tree, the tree just stands still like it's made out of titanium or something. At least make then wiggle abit.
there's a video on a car that flipped over and an old lady was rescued and yelling "i'm afraid that it will EXPLODE!!!" i tell my brother that she watch her kids play GTA san andreas too much
Guardrail Lover cars can crash, flip and catch fire, but it’s very rare outside crashes that are anywhere near any legal speed limit and even then it’s not very common (see videos of autobahn crashes). Auto makers would be in serious trouble if every car crash resulted in an explosion, but there are so many scenarios in car crashes that there is no way to cover all the bases, but they do a heck of a job and get better every year.
I watched an LP of Deadly Premonition, and I thought the scariest thing about driving in that game was how it seemed to feel the need to lock your POV on the passenger you're talking to. I mean, yikes. That's a recipe for laws against any kind of conversation in cars, never mind mobile phones, if drivers started doing that in real life. Good thing pedestrians don't exist, if I recall.
The last one about exploding cars extends beyond games to the point it's on TVTropes. If I recall it's "Every Car is a Pinto" because the only car that actually exploded was a Pinto, although that was under specific circumstances. The way it is now, it's a bit more accurate to say "Made of Explodium".
I like to imagine Mike is all alone in the office and he broke in, edited the video, uploaded it and escaped. That's why nobody else is in the video other than Jane's voice which is obviously edited in, Jane would go crazy if she found out physics weren't right in something.

unloading a magazine into a warthogs tire and it explodes. WTF
and in combat evolved if you put a mountain of grenades and explosive barrels under it then shot a rocket directly at some fusion coils it would land in your back yard a couple hours later.
You forgot about punching the car until it explodes in Vice city!
Actually this is known as a grenade jump and you don't need anything but grenades to do it.
it wouldn't explode, but it would catch fire, and be immobilized.
Oh wait, you said tire, derp.

Interesting, no mention of the Burnout series. I guess they got cars right in that one.
no they didn't
+Kevin Peterson I think it was just because there was never really anything serious about the burnout series to begin with.
+DocEBrown
And that's why people (like me) love the series.
Well, the burnout games rewarded you for destroying your car. I don't think they bothered to get much right other than large lump of metal +four wheels =vroom vroom
Well the first game did a LITTLE serious, but they found people liked crashing so much they made that a feature. I mean it was drive dangerous for a speed boost and that was about all in the first one beyond racing. It was a great series though before EA bought the publisher(and Paradise City was actually still good).

5:40 "They can sail through lamp posts but are seemingly allergic to trees" -- actually, irl things like lamp posts are made to fail in a specific way to reduce injury to drivers. Although I wouldn't recommend trying it, most things like street signs will crumple and fall if hit by a car instead of being totally immovable. Concrete barriers are not built this way, they are meant to keep your out of control car from injuring other people (like construction workers, opposite direction-travelling traffic, or government officials), so if you do stupidly decide to test natural selection, don't try running into one of them. If you go check out a stop sign in your neighborhood, you'll see that the bottom isn't just jammed into the concrete, there's a little rectangular thing that is, and then a second little rectangular thing that attaches the stick the sign is on to the one in the ground. It's only about like 6 inches or so, and it's right towards the bottom, so you probably never even noticed it. That is the part that is designed to fail if hit with enough force. Source: I went on a lot of tours of the American Federal Highway Administration's headquarters because of my mom's desire to "connect" with her dead father, who was a former top dog there. Also learned some interesting stuff about lighting...they actually do have a light that, if they were to put it in street lights, would still let you see the stars at night with a simple telescope even in a big city, but they don't use it because it makes road signs harder to read. Also they have a big machine that just simulates having a bunch of trucks driving all day, every day, in weird weather to test different asphalt compounds and figure out how good they are for different environments. And they paid $1 million USD for the first car with a built-in GPS unit, which is kinda crazy to think about considering your phone has it for free and you don't stop to think about that.
Did you know that, on my way to work everyday, I see this parking lot entrance with two concrete blocks/barriers sitting right in the middle. The thing is, they're so white that I at first thought they were blocks of Styrofoam that somebody had left out. I can't help but think about running into on purpose every time I see them now.
What about those tiny trees that somehow stop you dead in your tracks, even if you're driving a fucking tank? Or the bushes. I wish the bushes were at least consistent. Some of them, you can drive straight through. Others, stop you
Bet you're a laugh on a night out...
I mean, I know what you're talking about in terms of lamp posts, but they do not break as easily as they do in games where your car is not even damaged as a result of it... The amount of force that is required would also destroy your car especially since the front of your car is a crumple zone, also a safety feature...
Thank you for including drifting. I hate how movies and video games have convinced people that drifting is actually a fast way around a corner... It's done for show, it's literally the slowest way around a track...
In fairness to the BF4 windows, the mythbusters did do the underwater windows thing, and it was pretty accurate.
Most of what you said is spot on. The bouncing speedo needle was fairly common on the older cable driven speedometers (and that suv looks like it's probably from the 80s). It indicates that the cable is bent or broken.
did he just make a richard hammond joke...
obviously if we all heard it.
When?
The criticism for the "Drowning in a truck"-scene is unfounded, because cars actually take a pretty long time to fill with water. The developers surprisingly got that one right. for proof I would point you to a certain MythBusters episode.
If you actually pay attention. You can actually see that the car is actually filling up slowly.
I used a lot of "actually" in that
Your Composition teacher would be ashamed.
@@FireInferno1234 Yeah, I looked, and Dunn's head is slowly getting covered. It's up just over halfway by the time you shoot out the windshield. Another 20 seconds, it probably would've reached his eyes. I'm pretty sure they even say the car is filling up
@@filmandfirearms theoretically, they just had to wait until the car's full and open the door then
Don't forget Franklin's special ability in GTAV that lets him make a 90 degree turn on a dime at 90 MPH
Heard of heel and toe braking? Watch professional circuit racers, they do that shit all the time. In rally, they use the much more risky and much more effective technique of left foot braking. If you don't do it right, you'll stall your engine and spinning out is very likely, when it comes to a rally course. This, coming from a guy who has tried left foot braking. Bad idea if you don't know what you're doing
@@filmandfirearms haha heel/toe is a racing technique in rally and drift... to aid the slide of a car...

The last one definitely applies to just cause 3. Everything in that game explodes, even a boxcar that contains no engine or fuel will explode if you shoot it a few times. But that's what makes Just Cause great.
The lamppost/tree thing is one of the times they got it right and it does work that way. Lampposts and the like are specifically designed to give way so people don't die if they crash into them. Trees aren't. You can absolutely knock over lampposts with a car, then total it by wrapping it around a small tree.

I hate to be that guy but technically one horse develops around 6-7 horsepower
+PATTIEMANJOHNSON
Nice, never knew.
+PATTIEMANJOHNSON no james watt miscalculated watts to horsepower a horse develops 0.7 horsepower
Why does 1 horse not generate 1 horse power? Thats like saying my fish is only 0.7 of a fish
+Scream Like You Mean It, +jamilla garrett, +PATTIEMANJOHNSON
James Watt did not miscalculate anything, because:
1. The power of "one horse" greatly depends on the type of horse, how old it is and how well you fed and trained it for its task, among others. It's about as good a unit of measurement as using "one bread" for weight.
2. Watt calculated how much work one of the work horses that were used in one mine (I think they used ponies because they fit better into the narrow mining shafts, and could turn around more easily) could produce OVER TIME. The average power one horse (or pony) could output over a whole working day.
3. Why do people use 'horse power' anyway?
+Franz Luggin I believe we use horsepower because cars are, essentially, adaptations of horse-drawn carriages. We use it to compare modern vehicles to these carriages. That answers why we USED it (I think), but not why we still use it, to which I have no idea...
how could you talk about cars exploding and not bring up the worst offender: Saints Row The Third??? During the mission to rescue Zimos from the BDSM club, you get into a car chase, where the cars are replaced with gimp-drawn carriages that... somehow... explode if you shoot them.
I think Saints Row didn't make it to the list because it's a series that gives absolutely zero fucks about anything
TheMadisonMachine Saints Row is game that laughs at physics, chemistry and any other science. Dude in 4th game you became president of USA by falling through the roof of white house and you can stop world hunger by giving everyone some cake.
That was one of the best games I've ever played :)
Rincevind007 Yeah, but almost all of Saints Row IV takes place in a simulation, so getting hit by a car and flying all the way downtown makes sense.
TheMadisonMachine
that's true, but white house thing is not. Beside my point was that Saints Row is making of everyone else. That was reason for exploding carriages. In those games everything can explode :)

Why do we like realistic games? The point of games is to get away from real life :P
+Sour Oddity Even realistic games aren't that realistic, I mean, I don't think anyone in their right mind would let me take a $1,500,000 racecar out on the track when I have no experience with racing at all. The same thing for games like War Thunder, I don't have a Spitfire in real life, and even if I did, WWII is over I can't respawn in real life.
+Sour Oddity I think it's linked to the brain always trying to discern reality from fiction.
+Adam Lawrence Nah, it probably has to do with doing stupid shit that would cause problems for us in real-life (for curiosity or wish-fulfillment) and doing it in games instead, to experience emotions and problems that feel real and create immersive experiences without having any of the real-life consequences from these experiences (like a videogame about war as opposed to a real war), or to just have a challenging experience in a game.
+Sour Oddity "Realistic" games just simulate real life...if real life had completely broken physics :)
GloomGaiGar Nah man, I can totally clip through my car and do rocket jumps to work. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Every car is a Pinto, apparently.
MySerpentine even the pinto thing was massively overblown. The famous video of one getting rear ended and catching on fire and blowing up was rigged. The news station got in a lot of trouble for it but it was years later. The Bronco II/ Suzuki samurai roll over one was also rigged as well.
This video is scarily similar to me looking at weapon mechanics.
Still not sure why popcult railguns fire laserbeams or how no development team seems to have ever understood how compensators work...
The halo 4 railgun is somewhat realistic.
crimson Never played Halo 4, tbh. You could be right, I wouldn't know. ;-)
it makes me so happy to see Mike let out his car-nerd side, very interesting too!
to be fair to GTAV real life lamp posts are fitted with breakaway bolts to make them softer to collide with, hence they really do break more easily than trees.
Far cry 2 taught me that fixing a car is simple work.
No Mario Kart references? That game was drifting extreme! I drift in that game so much, I've started doing it whenever I go go-karting irl. It's amazingly fun.
+Panda Hat Productions Probably too easy.

M Heinemans It's not true, they do it all the time.

+Panda Hat Productions 1:14
I'm guessing there were more than 7 times, I bet the recording was hours long and they just they just put 7
For the first one, downshifting to first woukd more likely kill the engine than the clutch or trans. One of the main limitations to rpm is valve float, the rpm surge would induce valve float and youd get contact between valves and pistons. Still right on it being highly unrealistic way to drift though.
Thank you thank you thank you for this video! I've been a mechanic for decades and in my experience only other mechanics (and my buddy who is a car guy) have ever SMHed at video games getting cars all wrong. You guys made me feel normal again...for almost 10 minutes.

Fun fact: shooting a gas tank will not create an explosion.
WillCo Gaming I’m not kidding I deadass thought that was really
@@KoolaidHippie it *could* work if you use incendiary ammunition, but that would probably only set it on fire, if anything.
To make gas or fuel explode, you need the right amount of explosive and oxygen.
That's why old cars and cheaper motors (like in scooters or lawn mowers) often have a "joke" button or lever, since the mixture must have more fuel (known as being a fatter mix where I'm from) to ignite under colder conditions, which gave it the nickname "coldstart" (even in summer, a not running motor is cold compared to when it's running)
The movie Last Action Hero made a joke about that.
i would've mentioned roll physics. gran tourismo cars had some funny rolls. including a vertical nose spin on the front bumper.
that, forza motorsport can do too...XD
I once had an aerial vertical spin by taking off at a ramp and hitting a random car at the same time. The game was NFS: Hot Pursuit 2. I was rendered speechless at the moment and regretted not recording that race.
I was able to do this with my (now sold) Sentinel in GTA Online. For a few seconds. I can upload the video if anyone thinks I'm lying.
I was just talking about Total Overdose the other day. You could smash through almost anything in a car, but if you jumped out of the car and it it something while going 2 mph, it exploded. Made for some quality entertainment.
As someone studying Automotive engineering, this video was long overdue in the making. Great job guys!
The swingsets from GTAIV?
Rejected Productions That's not the cars that are wrong... When you run into the swingset, it gets pushed into the ground (as it is unable to be damaged) and springs back up really fast. That spring is what flings your car through the air.
+DGKacey So that all is fine then. The car acted exactly how it would in real life.
MoonUnit IV If swingsets behaved like that in real life, yeah. I'm not saying the cars in GTAIV are totally correct, but the swingset glitch is not caused by the cars being buggy
+DGKacey You are correct. It was just the way you phrased it made it sound like that there is some actual logic in such situations relating to a particular aspect of said game. Where in truth it's just that someone made a mistake that caused a general logic breaker. (That was a lot of mumbo jumbo.
I was also just being cynical, and I apologize.)
+-T-X-M- again? Ahahaah
actually the battle feild one is quite accurate watch mythbusters it took quite some time for the car to fill. maybe not as long as in the game but still quite some time
But the car looks like waterproof on BF, if you have seen the episode of Mythbusters you know the water still fluds in instantly.
it started coming in instantly in the game too.
@@jackass123455 but it seemed to come at an inconsistent rate in the game, that's the point of criticism.
Another couple things ive seen in need for speed. I could head on collision a car and i will flip and roll. In real life, i wouldnt. Second thing, also from need for speed, i could tee bone a semi truck and the trailer will tip over on its side. Real life, my car would be massacred and the trailer would be dented but not fallen over
How big is your car? If you hit a semi trailer with a larger pickup, trailer would get fucking wrecked.
theoretically the speeds in need for speed should be high enough to do that.
But most of the cars that could get those speeds would go under the trailer and lose their tops and your head
"I could collide head on with a car"
"head on collision" isn't a verb.
Hellwyck
You're partially right. The error is in the phrasing. "I could collide with a car head-on" is a grammatically correct sentence. Also collision is not a verb as per OP's comment.

Because Burnout is even more of a self parody than Saints Row.
Wow sir, I think you've earned the most idiotic thing I've read today. Fun and simulators don't go together. How does launching a car 10 metres in the air become a simulator?

Boost behind another car is called slipstreaming, and happens every time, only visible in high-speed racing however.

SirWilliamOfE nope. One horse = .75 horse power
One horse equals .75 horsepower...that...that just makes no sense to me.
Mia Ray the guy who invented horsepower (Thomas Watt) thought that 2 ponies was equal to one horse but he was wrong
why in the hell would shifting from 5th to reverse than into 2nd do anything but destroy your transmission? lol
***** Well you also would need to modify the transmisison to be able to shift from 5th into reverse. My car doesn't do that, it won't let you shift into reverse if you are going forward.
Depends on where peak torque is, sometimes you're better off shifting up if you want torque
One thing. Mario cart. Enough said.
Two things:
1: That's Mario. Mario is a fat, overweight man with a too perfect Mustache and the jumping skills of a fucking NBA star who lives in a world filled with sentient mushrooms and semi sentient chestnuts. There is no logic.
2: these guys are Xbox exclusive, and Mario does not, and probably will never, fall under the Xbox category.
+Lord Scolipede these guys do cover non-Xbox games, but rarely Nintendo.
But making fun of Mario Kart for being unrealistic is a bit silly, since it's not meant to be realistic at all.
1:10 keiichi tsuchiya actually proved that half drifting (when the tires are on the verge of breaking traction but the car is angled just right so the they don't they just make a squealing sound) is faster than a full grip run. This is because the slight oversteer counters understeer while still not fully losing traction. Racers use slight liftoff oversteer especially in fwd cars. Although full out drifting is slower than both half drift and a full grip run.
Mike did the whole video. I didn’t expect that. The only time i remember cars not being authentic to realism is when the batmobile went sideways in one of the batman arkham games.
The bit about cars running over lamp posts and stopping dead at a tree is sort of accurate. The lamp post shouldn't fall like it's made of Legos, but a car can topple one pretty easily. However trees are so firmly rooted into the ground that when you hit one it's not going anywhere, but your car might split in two. That's why if your breaks are out and your options are to hit a person or a tree, the best chance for both of you two live is hitting the person.
+Murasakibara-sama i can verify this tree does infact beat car
Brakes*
My uncle told me a story once. He had this old pickup truck that didn't have working breaks. He would downshift to slow down and run into shit to stop.
He had picked a girl up for a date and they were going down a hill when the light ahead turned red. He downshifted, but they weren't slowing down enough. He told her to buckle her seatbelt, then steered off the road into a tree. Then this exchange happened.
"Why did you do that?"
"My brakes don't work."
"What do you mean your brakes don't work?"
"They don't stop the truck."
"Why would you pick me up in a truck that doesn't have brakes?"
"I wanted to impress you. I wanted you think I had a decent car."
"What are you going to do if we have to go down another hill?"
"We're not going down any more hills. We're taking the long way."
Then he backed the truck up onto the road and kept driving. The body was made of steel, so neither the truck nor the tree took any real damage.
I think what he means that when a car bumps into a tree, the tree just stands still like it's made out of titanium or something. At least make then wiggle abit.
Micheal Drake Your uncle sounds like an awesome guy
there's a video on a car that flipped over and an old lady was rescued and yelling "i'm afraid that it will EXPLODE!!!"

Guardrail Lover cars can crash, flip and catch fire, but it’s very rare outside crashes that are anywhere near any legal speed limit and even then it’s not very common (see videos of autobahn crashes).
Auto makers would be in serious trouble if every car crash resulted in an explosion, but there are so many scenarios in car crashes that there is no way to cover all the bases, but they do a heck of a job and get better every year.
Don't worry, there is always this game: www.beamng.com/

I watched an LP of Deadly Premonition, and I thought the scariest thing about driving in that game was how it seemed to feel the need to lock your POV on the passenger you're talking to. I mean, yikes. That's a recipe for laws against any kind of conversation in cars, never mind mobile phones, if drivers started doing that in real life. Good thing pedestrians don't exist, if I recall.
The last one about exploding cars extends beyond games to the point it's on TVTropes. If I recall it's "Every Car is a Pinto" because the only car that actually exploded was a Pinto, although that was under specific circumstances. The way it is now, it's a bit more accurate to say "Made of Explodium".
