Going Fast down the Slow Roads
Ойындар
slowroads.io/ for a free, stress-free browser driving experience. That's free.
Not quite ready to commit to another racing game, I found Slow Roads to scratch that corner-navigating itch that's slowly been bubbling up since Dirt Rally 2 all those years ago.

I love simple open world driving games. My favorite was Fuel. I used to cruise around for hours on that. The map was so big that you could organize road trips with your friends and spend the next couple of hours driving from one corner of the map to the other.

I wish there was a modern equivalent of Fuel, like games with maps so big you could sink 1000 hours and still find something new, maybe make it a Car-pg (kinda like the Mad Max game) so people are encouraged to explore, and not to mention they did all that on a PS3 and X360, imagine how big can we go on modern current hardware

If you're looking for a game that's kind of like this have a look at test driven unlimited 2, you can drive around freely on both o'ahu and Ibiza with a wide variety of cars. It requires a community patch to get running on modern windows but it still plays well after that. Also available PS3 and Xbox 360 where it's still just insert DVD and off you go. It does have actual races, but those are all fairly simple and the AI isn't the best so you can cheese a lot of things.
Such a simple, calming and positive video to watch after a long day of work, thanks for uploading this :]
Love the great change of pace from all the cutting edge tech videos philip! I always love these light hearted videos sprinkled in!
You should try the BeamNG too, even youtube suggests the game below the video :D Testing its game engine possibilities, like the matrix demo, the traffic spawning amount and dx11 vs experimental vulkan renderer testing with your latest system might be a cool video.

The only games that could provide the experience I'm looking for were the 2 newer forza horizons but downloading 150gb for 2 days of driving around a bit never fealt like it was worth it. This little game is proving perfect for what I want, just driving down a long road and without spending hours downloading and installing games! Thank you Philip and great work on the part of the dev!

This brought back memories of a much older flash game called "2D Driving Simulator" by Geoquake (now "Frame Synthesis"). It has a similar concept, there's a map and you drive around without any objective. I even made a video about it a long time ago. I think these types of games will inspire a lot of kids growing up now to fall in love with driving.
anyone else get a unsetled feeling playing the game, like when u change it to night feels like somthing will jump out. or if your driving through the water you are just waiting for a fish to gobble you up
Thanks for bring attention to the game. its very fun
THIS is what i need. thanks for sharing phil

I've seen this game before as a demo in ThreeJS, when starting out developing 3D graphics for the web. The stability of physics and its minimalistic look really amazed me.
This is just the type of game i need right now, thanks!
the landscape gives me huge rome total war vibes, love it
I honestly expected a really simple game going in I was genuinely suprised by how many features there are, kind of overwhelming at first
Thanks for promoting this hidden gem Philip
This game is amazing! Kudos to the devs for optimising it.
It kind of reminds me of that one Gorillaz flash game where you'd just drive around with a Gorillaz tune in the background. Just a simple freedom really, the feeling of exploring is amazing when it's done to this extent. And this is why you're one of my must-watch content creators on here.

Here within the hour. The KZread algorithm has blessed you with my view, and I might have to try this game just for the lulz. Unrelated: I miss Offroad Velociraptor Safari.
When the EA Battlefield series started back in the early 2000's all i would do is drive around the maps in a jeep when everyone else was fighting, sometimes i would take the jeep to the highest point on the map and look down my sniper scope, then hop back in the jeep. When Battlefield Vietnam came out in 03? all the jeeps had radios with 60s soundtracks, i would drive around the jungle playing tamla motown hits.
I've been doing this on the new WRC Generations. I know you're a fan of Dirt, but something about the environments on WRC Generations just feels so lively and real. Many stages are 20km+. I just pick one, turn off co-driver and HUD, and just drive "slowly" for a half hour enjoying the views. Then I try it again at night with fog. It's just nice. You also learn how your car feels and become a better driver when you back to timing yourself, imo.
Games with no objective, just driving or whatever is often nice to just relax to. Rider's Republic felt great to just snowboard off a mountain, chilling and zoning out.
It would be kind of cool if it was possible to see other players driving along.
It's so chill and simple
What a really fun game. 100 mile marathon next weekend.
The physics in this game are absolutely fantastic!
Driving without missions, or fast stunts in these open world racing simulators was legit relaxin', & theurpatic.
Finally, I have found my ideal game
Reminds me of a car driving game from when unity was still new and I was amazed by how much better in looks than shockwave 3D games did at the time.
