Every Nurburgring Nordschleife on PC compared

[Draugnimir]

I'll be making a video about Nordschleife versions in the future. I don't yet own RIDE 5, Forza Motorsport or ACC versions yet. Maybe GT7 will come to PC, who knows? (Sony might)

If you have RIDE 4, it will suffice. I've compared Nordschleife between RIDE 4 and RIDE 5, they look nearly identical. However, I wonder how different is this version from RIDE 2, as Milestone was supposed to recreate all tracks for RIDE 4

RIDE 5 (PS5 version):

RIDE 4 (PC version, max settings):

I plan to do a complete lap switching between games, then look at stills of key locations on the track, and then do various head-to-head comparisons.

If you watch any of my Sega vs PC comparisons on my YouTube channel, you'll get an idea of the sort of approach I might take.

I've already captured laps of all the games I own. I plan to capture them at original max resolution each game ran at, without mods, to show how graphics have evolved.

This does pose an issue for Grand Prix Legends though, which runs at 36fps out of the box, which looks super jerky when incorporated into a 60fps video. But I'm looking for authenticity.

I just need to find time to do it. And then do the same for several other tracks I have in mind...

And I just picked up Ride 5 and Forza. Need to download both first, then see if my non-SSD HDD will even play Forza okay first...

Update: Forza and ACC I can run at 1440p (with a few small compromises!)

For anyone looking forward to this comparison, I've just finished making it, it's 26 minutes long and looks at the 24 PC games featuring the track. Hopefully it should go live by Tuesday next week, I'll post it in here.

I would start a new thread, otherwise noone will see it except for people who subscribed to this thread ages ago (like me). In fact, I would send the video link to one of the staff so they can put it on the front page.

Add it in the media section and link it in this thread.
