It's easy when the mirror is just an on-screen element, like in this instance, although the reflection quality is still much lower to make it cheaper to render. When the mirror is part of the world, then you run into issues because you need to ensure that objects in the space behind the mirror aren't rendered, and because culling draw calls for reflections of objects that aren't visible in the mirror image (and, conversely, ensuring that objects that aren't visible normally but whose reflections CAN be seen) is much more difficult.
Since games switched from rendering mainly tight interior environments with portal culling to much more open environments with frustum culling, rendering planar reflections correctly and efficiently became much more difficult. In fact, some games just render them incorrectly. There's a room in Dark Souls 3 with a reflective floor, but if you pan the camera down so that an object isn't visible anymore, its reflection will also disappear.
>They will never make games with this feel again
correct
gaming is dead and is never coming back
people who knew and appreciated the older games are literally dying off
and the zoomers are growing up on absolute steaming pile of trash microtransaction riddled dogshit
That one nfs that's always at night and rainy, is it worth it? The setting and aesthetic seems great.
I remember watching a couple vids long ago and it looked damn comfy, plus the fmv cutscenes were a really nice callback to the most wanted era.
What's it called again? I wish they'd stick to some kind of naming convention.
It's beautiful and drives like total shit.
If you've never driven a car and / or are able to overlook driving physics not making sense at all get it.
If you're into cars even a little you will be pulling your hair.
It really didnt. The only funny thing was, that they merged maps from different games.
Its like comparing fifa online to the mainline fifa. Yeah cool, you make a game for the thirld world regions, but you have a mainline game that also can be played online and does everything the same, but also get more advanced. World would not catch up to the new games in terms of physics or content. Ghost could not even maintain nfs2015 as a gaas and its painful to even watch at heat and unbound, world would stagnate as soon as ea understands its redudnant, which is what happend.
Remember China had a nfs equivalent of fifa online, was closed after like a year, who the frick needs it?
2003 - 2008 just somehow feels like the golden age of single-player gaming in consoles.
Just look at Ace Combat. I just finished AC7 and I was bored and sleepy.
When I finished AC0 my hands were shaking from dodging the final boss. My ears were blessed with the music.
MW and Carbon feels memorable. NFS Unbound feels forgettable.
I still remember GTA San Andreas's map better than I do my hometown.
ghost games tried to make one in 2015-2016 but they made the huge mistake of making it online only
It has awful driving mechanics. It's so bad I tried it again a couple months ago and dropped it within 30 minutes. Drift to turn needs to be removed.
The togue events in GRID come close
I can't believe how good has grid1 aged
was playing modded MW2005 this year and it's absolute kino
>Rendering the game in front and behind
How they did it?
>NOOO YOU NEED A $4000 PC WITH AN RTX CAPABLE CARD AND FAKE FRAMES FOR THAT
I hate modern gamedev so much
Magic
>How they did it?
Mirror magic, we've lost the technology. In a few more years IRL mirror technology will be lost to us as well.
I think the real answer is mods. Rear view mirror is usually only available in hood cam
By rendering it twice, but everything in the rear-view mirror is less detailed and lower resolution

Yeah man, you can't go home again, you will never be [age] and carefree again.
Deal with it dude. It's OK.

it's OVER.
Assetto Corsa with mods almost gets to this level of kino
Carbon is crap. You know it and I know it.
>PS2
You played the inferior version
You sure about that amigo?
Carbon was shit, inferior in every single way to MW 2005
Yup
I simply prefer it to MW due to my personal experience, that's just how it is
>fake gran turismo
Don't you post this turd in these threads ever again zoomer
You've gotta be moronic
most wholesome and agreeable thread on /v
It's 2023 and no game has chase cam with a rear view mirror lol.

It's just Called Need For Speed (2015) and I think it's the best "modern" need for speed
nah heat is the only serviceable nfs released post 2012
>implying most wanted 2012 is good
NFS died in 2010.
It's beautiful and drives like total shit.

GRID 1
Carbon
Blur
we didn't know how good we had it
why did it have to die bros? it had so much potential.
>he doesn't know
i know, but it's not the same as blackbox
It made newer games look awful. It had to be destroyed to lower standards and expectations.

There are still private servers alive if you want to play (now without p2w!)
NFS Carbon was underwhelming coming off MW 2005.
I've been playing my summer car a lot, there's something really nice about the mid 90's setting on top of how immersive it is, mwc topless pls

they could remove break to drift mechanic in the latest games but they choose not to and I don't know why
