Car Crashing Games Biography

In most car-racing games, you can hit a barrier at 140 mph and bounce off. That may make it a bit easier to complete the course in record time, but it's hardly realistic. In the just-released game GRID you can pilot virtual versions of up to 50 cars, including the Aston Martin DBR9 and Porsche 911. You can also crash them into a twisted, smoking mess of mashed-up metal. "Crashes are part of the excitement of motorsports," says Clive Moody, the game's lead programmer. "Without damage, you miss some of that." Here's what goes into making the most realistic race-game wrecks.
Deformation
The easy way to show damage to a video-game vehicle is to script in a few preprogrammed dents. The better way is to integrate physics into the 3D model of each car. "We give each part a strength value that determines how it will bend or break during a collision," Moody says. A sheetmetal hood crumples, while a carbon-fiber wing snaps.
Performance Anxiety
The point of putting crashes in racing games is to show the player that mistakes have real consequences in game play. Assuming your vehicle is still driveable after a collision in GRID, its performance will suffer. Knock your wheels out of alignment? Your car will wobble. Tear off a spoiler? Your vehicle will produce less downforce.
Time Shifting
Spectacular crashes may look great, but they can keep the finish line out of reach. GRID makes it a bit easier by giving you a get-out-of-crash-free card. The Flashback feature allows you to rewind through the crash by 10 seconds in order to redo that hairpin. Okay, so this isn't a realistic feature, but it does allow you to indulge your morbid curiosity by replaying your crash in slow motion--from any angle.
Smoke and Mirrors
For all of the focus on realism, GRID's designers still understand the value of showmanship. "Would all of the sparks and smoke in this screen shot happen in a real accident? Probably not," Moody says. "But we hype things up in the same way that you'd see in a movie--it adds to the drama of the collision
Take a drive down memory lane as we countdown the best driving video games of all time.
Driving games threw the Highway Code out the passenger side window, letting us drive as fast as we wanted, and abandoning our usual consideration for the welfare of fellow road users. Heck, half the time we just hit ‘em for sport. These – in no particular order – are the 25 best driving games ever, listed with their PAL release year and native or most notable platform…
Micro Machines invented a genre: top-down party racing. It was based on the likes of Super Sprint, but its fantastically themed tables required ultra-fast reflexes to navigate, making it a sensational test of speed and skill.
Another game-changer, this isometric racer was the first racing game to feature earnings that could be spent on upgrades or extra nitro boosts for your truck. Super Off Road supported up to three human players at once, and eight indoor off-road tracks plagued with obstacles.
Often cited by those “in the know” as one of the most realistic racing games ever made, Grand Prix Legends simulated the 1967 Formula One season with accurate tracks (including the Nürburgring and Monaco) and vehicles. It was also bloody hard – more demanding than driving a real car, in fact.
A street-racing motorcycle game in which you brawled with your fellow racers, tried to evade the police and upgraded your bike using prize money, Road Rash II became an instant classic – and almost 20 years later EA is yet to deliver a sequel worthy of the name, damn their eyes.
Sega’s racer didn’t pit you against other drivers – instead, Crazy Taxi challenged you to make mad bank and extend the clock by picking up customers and delivering them as quickly as possible to their destination in the open world city setting, full of hazards and shortcuts.
An early 3D racing game – in fact it had some of the most advanced graphics yet seen on a home computer at launch – Stunt Car Racer had you tear around elevated rollercoaster-style tracks with huge jumps and gaps. Fall off or hit a wall and you damage your car, with too much forcing you out of a race immediately
A PS3 launch title, MotorStorm is a balls-out off-road racer featuring a wide variety of vehicles tearing around muddy Southwestern US landscapes. Tracks are riven with jumps, hazards, obstacles and alternative routes, and vehicles can be destroyed if collisions are serious enough or the engine is overheated by too much nitro boosting.
Debuting in arcades, Ridge Racer came to prominence on the original PlayStation, where its cutting edge visuals and sound showed off the new console’s potential. Featuring both races and time trials, the game rewarded players who took the time to learn the racing lines of each of its tracks.
This ultra-realistic simulation is the Xbox 360’s answer to Gran Turismo. Featuring 349 cars, all of which are highly tweakable in both performance and looks, as well as a healthy supply of tracks both real and fictional, it (or at least one of the Forza series) is viewed as a must have for any car-fancying Xbox owner.
PGR2 features a system called Kudos by which you gain points by showing off your “1337” driving skills: a perfectly pulled-off power slide around a corner, say, or overtaking an opponent in style. These points are then used to unlock new cars. Loads of tracks (based in real cities) and challenges also helped to make it more than just another street racing game.
Risk equals reward in Burnout 3 – you obtain Boost (nitro, basically) by doing stupidly dangerous stuff like driving on the wrong side of the road, near misses with opponents, jumps and the like. Boost is then used to smash – or “Takedown” – other cars. A classy and suitably fired up soundtrack from the likes of The Ramones and Ash enhances the mentalness no end.
Sega Rally was a milestone in the arcade racing genre because it added different road surfaces with different friction properties, giving players the most realistic-feeling rally game that had ever been made. It was also beautifully simple, with only three cars (all real world) and four tracks – one of which is only unlocked if you finished the championship in first place. It also features one of the best-loved Game Over screens in gaming history
