The Eau Rouge is one of the most famous corners in motorsport, with its insane elevation taken at high speed while cornering. It is also featured in a ton of official Formula 1 games, as the Belgian Grand Prix has been part of the F1 calendar in most of the past 30 years.
For this F1 game evolution video series I looked at more than 40 different games that were released on PlayStation systems and 36 of them made it into this particular video.
Many of you will know the annual F1 games by Codemasters that have been released on PC, PlayStation and Xbox since 2010 but there were also many official F1 games before that.
The first F1 game by Codemasters actually came out in 2009 already but it was exclusive to Wii and PSP. And in 2000-2003 there were multiple official games per year, with EA's F1 series and Sony's Formula One series competing against each other.
Note that the PS1, PS2 and PSP games are played via emulator, which improves their resolution but can lead to some texture bugs that wouldn't happen on actual hardware, especially with the PS2 games, so keep that in mind when judging the look of the games in the video.
Which Formula 1 games have you played yourself and which ones were your favorites? Share your personal thoughts and stories about F1 games in the comments. And what do you think about the different renditions of the Eau Rouge corner throughout the years?

Ideally corners near the beginning of a track, so I can quickly do multiple attempts by restarting.

I went to the Belgian GP in 2019 and what struck me is that you don't realise how steep this section really is from games and TV.

@Paragleiber Ай бұрын

Interesting. I once did a lap as a passenger on Nordschleife and that was also way more intense than any games or even real life videos make it seem. It's just a whole different thing to experience it in proper first person and with all of the forces on your body.

@marcioschittler Ай бұрын

Yeah, same for me when I saw the Senna S in real life, in Interlagos

@AdrenaLukeYT Ай бұрын

Same can be said about how you don't realize just how fast the cars are going at the Indy 500 from TV. I say this as someone that's been there in person more times than I can count. I stood about 10 feet away from the cars going 235mph and it's pretty crazy. On TV it looks like they're going way slower than what you see and FEEL in person

Love how Codemasters (later EA) didn't bother updating the most popular circuit on the calendar for over 10 years despite being the least accurate circuit mesh in F1 2010. Also there is a version of F1 Racing Championship which most the circuits are probably the most accurate iterations of each circuit until laser scanning became a thing.

wow the LOD did a world of good for the F1 99 look and feel! it seemed the first three games had worse and worse popping, and the 99 comes in with better sound, better models and an LOD that is practically invisible on CRTs, good hecking job to the team with that one, astonishing! in my childhood in the early 2000s, the ps2 was still way expensive for the average brazillian, so the PS1 and the Sega Mega Drive, Saturn, and Dreamcast reigned as "three kings" i'd say, Nintendo lost the console war here. So my best friend had the PS1 and the first game from 1996, the 99 version would have blown our minds back then. F1 challenge '99-02 on my dad's PC a year later managed to blow our minds tho.

The evolution from the first to the last of the ps1 ones is impressive taking into account it is the same hardware.

@saschatheboy1 Ай бұрын

Die Qualität von F1 2000 war im Vergleich zu F1 1999 deutlich schlechter und stellte einen Rückschritt dar. Im Gegensatz dazu war F1 2010 ein bedeutender Fortschritt im Vergleich zum Vorgänger F1 2009, was meines Wissens sehr gut aufgenommen wurde. Mir ist jedoch aufgefallen, dass F1 2023 und F1 2024 auf dem PC grafisch nicht gut aussehen. Es ist möglich, dass dies auf schlechte Grafikeinstellungen oder einen veralteten PC zurückzuführen ist. Auf der PS4 Pro und der X Series sehen die Spiele jedoch deutlich besser aus.
