We’ve created many Evolution videos of the games discussed in the video, including the Evolution of: Grand Theft Auto: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fMibd72Ux9-UlXU.html Red Dead Redemption: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJtin5aetKulcpc.html Marvel’s Spider-Man: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9V3aN2LldbFpZs.html Microsoft Flight Simulator: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fZd8h5eL0eCUfZ8.html

1947: wow this graphics are so cool! 2021: wow this graphics are so cool!

Just imagine what our gaming graphics will look like in 2050. Truly is amazing

Gaming really came a long way when it comes to graphics.

It’s hard to believe that graphics have evolved so much

I love flight simulator! MSFS2020 combined with VATSIM is actually helping me with my real world flight training!

People in 1980s: Damn these graphics are so realistic it can't get any better

Imagine graphics in 100 years, we could create our own matrix

I think we've finally reached a point where game graphics can be photorealistic. Even casual FPS games like call of duty have achieved photorealistic maps, it's crazy.

GTA V must of been the best game of 2013. I remember picking it up for my PS3. The graphics were amazing for back then!! I was mind blown

Keep making such spectacular videos!

Been gaming since 1994 and I have loved every single step of this mind-blowingly beautiful journey!!!

imagine being a kid in the 70s playing a 2-D game and then he time travels to 2022 and he just can't believe the graphics in the video games

Oh my goodness, the games that are coming out in the very near future are looking absolutely incredible. This is mind blowing. Thank you for putting this together. I loved it! 😁

It’s crazy to think that old computers could only run ping pong or tic-tac-toe and now just consoles smaller then them can run a huge fully loaded cities (mainly the area your in)

Technically now and then is just amazing I can’t believe how something like GTA V in 2013 to red dead 2 in 2018. The graphics side by side is amazing and you see what the graphics are for 2013 and now in 2018-2022. GTA v was in development somewhere in 2008 so the graphics changed a lot for many games. Not just rockstar but all games….amazing, it’s worth the money if you really want it to get that satisfaction

It's amazing that the graphics of the video game industry are evolving

Keep making videos that a lot of people will enjoy! (A lot of people have already watched your videos over time!)

The evolution of video game graphics is so amazing and great video man :]

Flatlife should definitely make an ‘Evolution of Flatlife’ video when they reach 1 million subscribers

1:22 : 1958 :- Era of 1 bit graphics 3:56 : 1979 :- Era of 8 bit graphics 6:39 : 1986 :- Era of fake 3d aka 2.5d 7:44 : 1990 :- Era of 3d 9:16 : 2000 :- Era of 3d with real time shadows. 10:39 : 2013 :- Era of realistic textures 11:54 : 2018:- Era of RTX 12:51 : 2020 :- Era of turning pc into smoke machine😂

Should have mentioned more of Nintendo's contributions too gaming hardware

I've been watching your videos only for a few months but I've been watching your growth over that time & it's so good to see that you're getting to a place in which it can be your living as I feel you have a lot to offer & there is definitely a gap for you to become a big KZfaqr 😊

Much innovative content and this is very informative video i loved it ❤️❤️

2018 was best year in gaming. Rdr2, GoW and Spiderman.

Flatlife: talks about modded games. Minecraft: am I a joke to you?

Really good presentation brother I didn't skip a second you will be very successful.

There was a Space War arcade cabinet, I knew a guy in the late 80s who had one. It was huge and it kicked out heat like a space heater.

Great video! Have you done an evolution on soulsborne games yet? I think that’d be a great video seeing as how the Elden Ring is coming soon, and it looks like BOTW dark souls!

8:14 this is why competition is always necessary. Improve yourself to beat the others on an aspect keep doing it to surpass each other and you improve, just don’t smack each other

I remember getting battlefront bundled with my ps4... jumping up from a ps2, my God that game looked amazing

Request to Flatlife: I want a extended video of the history of other companies consoles like NEC,Bandai, other 1st generation console companies,LCD portable companies and more!

You are absolutely talented! Keep it up!

Try doing evolution of Disney

This was such a big help in my school project thank you

It is good to see how far gaming has come

this video is just... I cant even say. All of flatlife's videos are just amazing

I just learn this in my school.thank you Flatlife

incredible as always flatlife! Subscribed and addicted to your channel, i enjoyed a lot this video! My only complaint is that you didn't include mario 64 or zelda ocarina of time. Sure, these games were far from first in 3d gaming, but no game before them nailed the controls, create such massive and dense worlds, use high-tech (at the time of course) gameplay and graphics and be of course freaking fun. Arguable of course, that is my humble opinion. But still.

I don’t know what was more perplexing, his pronunciation of Diablo or that he thought it used parallax scrolling. Did he have a head injury?

You deserve more subscribers

Another video about evolution of video game graphics 😮😮😮 Haven't seen videos like this before......

Did anyone else click the video just because the thumbnail seemed to suggest that there was an arcade cabinet in 1947?

01:38 Respect to people that made OSU in that year

I’m really surprised that you didn’t mention Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart.

Dragon's lair was amazing back in the day, like playing a cartoon & the Onimusha 3 intro still looks cool as it's only a PS2 game

Im So Glad Since I Began Using KZfaq Almost 3 Months Ago Where I Learn New Things & Started Watching More Channels. Also Graphics Has Gradually Improved Since 1980!

What made me mindblowed is that these graphics are better than my eyesight 😲.Looks there will be a time when these graphics are better than our real world

it such a shame you didnt mention any of rocksteady games, they had incredible achievement too, including a standard for open world super hero games

Flatlife you are underrated you deserve 1M subscribers

Can you do the evolution of The Matrix Franchise? Please because I loved the movies, even The Matrix Awakens game!

How about evolution of racing games? Hon'ble mention: NFS Most Wanted

Udeserve more subscribers and views, my guy!

You forgot to include all the great games on computers in the 1980s, such as the entire line from Sierra Online (which was an innovator in graphics).

How did he miss BeamNG Drive? The most realistic simulator in the world.

Graphics are getting better but storylines are getting worse

I like the intro How that old computer turns into a modern one

This is really cool I’ve played many different games including old ones like space invaders and doom gaming has come a long way

This is great

How the hell can he forgot Prince of Persia??? It was the most legendry and revolutionary game! Prince of Persia 1989 and pop 2 Even the prince of Persia trilogy!!!

Great video! Let’s see Evolution of The Elder Scolls in the future?

I remember playing Test Drive on the Amiga, which was 3D racing in 1987 and F/A-18 Interceptor the following year, as a 3D flight-sim. Super simple polygons, but still 3D and way earlier than '91 or '92. Pretty sure the parallax effect was there as two layers in dual playfield mode earlier too.

sure graphics became better and better, but gameplay has been declining.

😃 The evolution of video game graphics is so amazing!

In 1981 I was stationed at the Navy's first Air Traffic control station using computers to combine multiple radar signals from 'further' locations to create a much larger area for aircraft surveillance. They had multiple workstations as well as the Controller monitors all hooked up. When the Airspace was returned to the FAA at night there wasn't much to do but the civilian contractors maintaining the code and equipment had loaded ZORK (text based) for something to mess with. I personally could create my own 'maps' on a Monitor which wasn't being used as well as fake targets which would be used for training purposes. I decided to make a race course and would used the keystroke commands for heading to guide the target through the course. My superiors just looked and went on . . . . They appreciated my eagerness to understand how the new systems worked. :)

Thank you so much Man for such an impressive video which is filled with useful info... you are the best ever man.. a whole different way of presenting history... what a mind blowing style of narrating(narration)... you really did a great job... your efforts are highly appreciative... keeep the good work up...

This channel has the best animations

Starting in the 1980s we had arcade machines, Commodore 64 and ZX Spectrum Amstrad CPC and as the years went by in the 1990s we had the PS1, N64 and PCs and Dreamcast. By 2000 we got the PS2 and Xbox Original and GameCube.

Fun fact: Nolan bushnell actually created Chuck E. Cheese, and he actually made it because he wanted an arcade for children to hang out and play while eating pizza alongside with animatronics and the rest is history..

it's amazing how the graphics have evolved, 1947 to 1990s the graphics evolved and got better a little one at a time, then 2000s to 2020s it has evolved really quickly lol

I hope the Cathode Ray Amusement Device 2 drops soon, been waiting for a sequel for so long now

It is interesting that the adventures of Hellblade, i.e. Senua, were not even mentioned, even though the Unreal engine, its graphics and the way it was made, or its real-time motion capture presentation would have been distinctly unique and fitting here.

I love your videos so much information ℹ️

This is my favorite channel ❤️❤️❤️

🔥🔥LOVE YOUR VIDS FLATLIFE HUGE FAN!!!🔥🔥

I made a powerpoint on this and u were my main source. thanks!

7:45 this is just beautiful.

Literally every KZfaqr when 2022 starts, nice video man

Your Animations are soo Gooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice videos you have, can you do the evolution of kingdom hearts?

Truly incredible

The 15 year period between 1979 and 1994 was astonishing in terms of progress. The likes of this will never be seem again.

Thank you for including “Bertie the Brain”👍🇨🇦.

Good job man

Oh man, I remember playing "River Raid" on the "Atari 2600" back in the 90s with my dad and having a blast with mom watching confused like "the fuck are they so competitive and hyped about?". I also remember that my "Atari 2600", for some strange reason, came in a box that had Rambo holding an RPG as the cover art. Don't get me wrong, it was badass, but it felt weird for such an (back then) underwhelming game console to have such a cool guy representing it.

Great video, I'm reliving some of these games in my head now :) Parallax effects were introduced in the 1980s when 16-bit machines were powerful enough to handle the graphics requirements, like Shadow of the Beast (1989) by Psygnosis. IBM PCs were not up to the graphical standard of the Amiga at the time. That came later when dedicated graphics cards emerged. Vector 3d games were also around in the '80s. See the original Star Wars arcade machine, or StarGlider on the Amiga. I wouldn't describe parallax as a 2.5d style, although it's obviously a hybrid solution before we get to full 3d. There were plenty of isometric games that used this style, including The Sims, as mentioned in the video. Defining a 'real' 3D game isn't easy. Virtua Racing was THE 3D pioneer in the arcades. Doom was a revolutionary 3d style game in terms of presentation, but it's a 2d game in how it plays. There's no real 3rd dimension to interact with in the environment, and the enemies are all 2d sprites. (I think) Quake or Dark Forces was one of the earliest real 3D FPS games. Once games were using polygons to generate the images things were more properly 3d, so systems like the Playstation or Saturn were the real turning point here.

i think we have reach the gaming peak and gaming has came a long way its emotional

Thanks for all those great souls who created gaming entertainment truly hats off ❤

I want you to a history on game consoles

Prince Of Persia (1989) and Wolfenstein had significant contribution. However you forgot to mention

Just Imagine going back in time & showing people these Graphics..

ok but how do you go from squiggly lines to hyper realistic games containg 4k resolution included with huge franchises and character icons. Evolution is a mind-blowing thing

You gotta give a lot of credit for that Gran Turismo designer who was only home 4 days a year, because he created a legendary racing game

Flatlife you did it again. A good video for big brain bois

5:49 That is not game play from the original arcade version of Donkey Kong... that is from the Atari 2600 port.

Wow in less then a century we went from some random pixels to now with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 that is an exact replica of the world you can even see your house

I remember myself as a kid, 8 years old, looking at Madagascar looked so realistic on the Playstation 2. I just couldn't believe. Now look at how far we've come.

8:35 Modern Video Game Companies: Hold my watch…

it feels like yesterday i played Doom II for first time on 486 and bonecruncher on C64
