I never understood why they removed all the dust, debris, smoke, and sparks during collisions, it's the most noticeable difference when comparing BeamNG to real life footage.
I remember first time watching the demo video of BeamNG. I was astonished! Back in the day the the closest we had to this kind of game was Rigs of Rods, and Beamng felt like a completely new level. Turns out it took a couple of years for Beam to match and pass the RoR functionality. It's nice to see how much progress has been made.
I remember watching YBR’s videos thinking this game was so awesome when it first came out and dreaming of having a pc to play it on someday! Got it eventually and have loved it since
One thing I notice straight ahead, the smoke effect when drifting or sliding looks so much better than in the game right now, no idea why they removed all those dust debris and smoke effects
Nerd3 introduced me to BeamNG way back when, I would love to see him revisit BeamNG again. He did at one point but even that was so many years ago and is already really outdated again.
i remember so good playing this on my laptop with 3 fps when i was 10 years old. for every gran turismo i was most interested about the crash physics and this is what i asked my dad the whole time. This game was a dream come true. still playing it today
I also got that build somewhere on my very old hard drives, I remember playing the shit out of it back then. I joined the forums in August 2013 and since I've played Rigs of Rods I was completely blown away when I played it the first time. I think I spend more than 500 hours in those early versions of the game. And when you could finally buy the game I did not hesitate for a second.
My twin brother introduced me to Rigs of Rods videos back in the day. Our reaction when watching red Range Rover Classic off roading and flexing amazef us how realistic the physics are. Years after later BeamNG Drive was introduced and we watched tons of YBR videos. What a great childhood memories.
well this build was never intended to be a public release, as the reddit post/comment stated it was meant to be private but was accidentally made available due to the forums being set up wrong, 0.3.0 was always meant to be the first **public** build of the game, however i doubt the developers really care that it leaked since even by the time that it did, it was already vastly inferior to the then public demo of the game.
Fun fact: someone archived the old "dry_rock_island" and the old (but not this old) "GridMap" maps into the in-game repository of the current newest game version. 😉
Now a year later on 0.32 we have had vr support reintroduced animated shifters air suspension and many refreshes of older car models the amount of work done to this one game can only be rivaled by the likes of project zomboid and even then those are 2 entirely diffrent games and beam is alot more advanced physics and graphics wise so its the more impressive one to me on that regard
back in the day i think i remember pirating this version to get it to work on my shitty pc, great times, i remember that old menu screen, somehow ran like shit still lmao
I REMEMBER WHEVER I USED THE COVET HALF THE CAR WOULD FALL UNDER THE GROUND i played another version called beamng drive sandbox and i used to play that game day and night until i finally got the real version on steam
Idfk why do people these days that started to play beamng drive in 2023, judge too much the old beamng drive, to me its nostalgic and freaking good, cuz in mid 2015 i watched so much insanegaz, and boyyy that was good asf
Bruh i used to have this, or maybe a slightly newer version, on my WINDOWS XP💀 LOL but, i do remember the billboard that you spawn in next to. Bruh i just want that version SO BAD AGAIN. The nostalgia would be real.
Man, I forgot about the Grid 1.0 map 😂 i remember playing the Demo version, was a lot of fun was proper impressed, was one of very few games I bought on steam cuz I actually liked it so much, even tho my laptop didn't really like it very much and even at low settings and 720p I was playing at 28FPS max 😂 good days
I also bought this game thanks to @WhyBeAre. I think I got it around 0.4-0.5? I remember when the Barstow got added, so I guess 0.5. Fun fact: The cooling fan on my first computer ate it while playing BeamNG, and I had to wait forever for it to be fixed.
I never understood why they removed all the dust, debris, smoke, and sparks during collisions, it's the most noticeable difference when comparing BeamNG to real life footage.
I guess because they'd cover up the deformation of the vehicles in slow motion, but they should bring it back as an option tho
@@kodak1587 sparks are still there, smoke is too and debris is there as well
@@japanquakeytp They are there sure, but the effects you are talking about are much more subtle in later versions.
@@kodak1587let's hope that future updates will reimplement these intense debris in a much better way
they changed engines maybe thats why idk just a guess

well, beam was invented by some of ror developers
It is the same developers... largely.
I remember watching YBR’s videos thinking this game was so awesome when it first came out and dreaming of having a pc to play it on someday! Got it eventually and have loved it since
I got it to on my gaming laptop
I've pirated the 0.3 version on my dad's fujitsu laptop back in 2013 and it ran like 15-20fps lol, somehow could still enjoy it
same
InsaneGAZ was my initial introduction to BeamNG although not until August 2013 and then I found YBR a few months later
@@Karmy. insanegaz for me too, along with his gta 4 mod crashing vids. Such nostalgia...

It’s a different game engine. Maybe that’s why
@@jonathanfintelmann8031 same engine. Torque3D

Yess a fellow procrastinator
I have 2013 beta version on my old laptop. I like the flex of the truck bed in the older versions when you go over uneven terrain
I'm really happy that this is reaching more people. Nice video!
Anyone else remember when there were rumours that GTAV would use the BeamNG soft body physics engine?
Yes😂😂😂
I remember playing this version, brings back many memories. Crazy to see how much the game has evolved.
i remember so good playing this on my laptop with 3 fps when i was 10 years old. for every gran turismo i was most interested about the crash physics and this is what i asked my dad the whole time. This game was a dream come true. still playing it today
for some reason i love some of the lighting in old beamNG.
thats it, thats all i have to say.
Reddit users always find something
YBR is the whole reason i love this game so much i miss his uploads
Ah yes, TheAdmiester also helped out with the 'Spec II' mod for Gran Turismo 6. What a legend.
You finally convinced me to crack and purchase Automation and BeamNG and lemme say it’s amazing how far BeamNG has come from its earliest build.
Ive been playing this game since 2014 when I was 9 years old and I was astonished by the visiuals I love how it started and where its going
I hope one day they'll release the cryengine prototype, would be a fun piece of history
Those old engine sounds are so nostalgic...

I still play that game today.

i remeber when i play this version when i was a kid it was so special back then

Dry rock island was in my opinion one of the most overlooked maps, it was fantastic
Fun fact: someone archived the old "dry_rock_island" and the old (but not this old) "GridMap" maps into the in-game repository of the current newest game version. 😉
This was back then when i upgraded from my 630GT to a 980GT, and it actually went above 20fps for the first time 😂😂
one thing i notice, HOLY CRAP THE SHADOWS ARE GORGEOUS COMPARED TO TODAY
performance issues.
This got me feeling like I’m in elementary school watching ybr, graduated 3 years ago
WHY ARE THE SHADOWS IN 0.1 LIKE 5X SHARPER THAN IN 0.35 *WITH* MODS
4:02 ambatukam
Great video jake great to see your still kicking
The old sounds make me so nostalgic

0:40 there is music from automation in the lobby
that noise he made got me dying 😂😂😂😂 3:20
the port is not its own separate map just to clarify also rest in peace dry rock island
When I didn’t have money for BeamNG, I downloaded versions 0.3 and 0.1 on my pc and it was just as fun as the paid BeamNG!!! :D
thx you beamng drive dev for your work
back in the day i think i remember pirating this version to get it to work on my shitty pc, great times, i remember that old menu screen, somehow ran like shit still lmao
Only OGs knows rigs of rods
I REMEMBER WHEVER I USED THE COVET HALF THE CAR WOULD FALL UNDER THE GROUND i played another version called beamng drive sandbox and i used to play that game day and night until i finally got the real version on steam
The main menu in BeamNG Drive 0.1, looks like Gmod 13 main menu
Back when my computer could play the game because the graphics weren't as intense
Thats a dang nice Chevy.
10 years and still getting better and better! we can now put wings and blades motor on tiny car... whats next? ahah
Idfk why do people these days that started to play beamng drive in 2023, judge too much the old beamng drive, to me its nostalgic and freaking good, cuz in mid 2015 i watched so much insanegaz, and boyyy that was good asf
Am i wrong or is the first version BeamNG intro music one of the Automation soundtracks?
can i get the reddit link please? i really want to download the 0.1 version
0:19-0:22 wtf is going on 😂
Bruh i used to have this, or maybe a slightly newer version, on my WINDOWS XP💀 LOL but, i do remember the billboard that you spawn in next to. Bruh i just want that version SO BAD AGAIN. The nostalgia would be real.
Man, I forgot about the Grid 1.0 map 😂 i remember playing the Demo version, was a lot of fun was proper impressed, was one of very few games I bought on steam cuz I actually liked it so much, even tho my laptop didn't really like it very much and even at low settings and 720p I was playing at 28FPS max 😂 good days
For the controller support, get DS4. That turns your PS4 controller into an xbox controller, solving the problem.
What about rigs of rods
Woah. That is an EARLY built of the game. Everything is janky.
I wonder if they will ever reach 1.0
Man,times have passed, not to be confused it's still alpha even in today's day in age
Use DS4 if a game doesnt support ps4 controllers natively.
How did you get this version
How to download?
the first version of beamng/ not beamng is called rigs of rods. its basically like beamng but older and it has more mods.
it was made in......
2005!?
hey there im just wondering how'd you get the oold version when noone had access
Why does it have better graphics than today's version..
Because it used diffrent game engine
old particles were SO much better
Is no one talking about the 15⁰F or -9⁰C?!
i got this downloaded but the vehicles dont work (except the truck)
Id say the stage beamng is in right now could say beta instead of alpha
agreed
Thanks for the work. I’ll get it later
i have beamng ALPHA older than this
that is shocking for me!😮 honestly, it doesn't look too bad.
I dont think no one will believe me but i used to have a old laptop with beamng 0.7 but sadly my laptop broke
we need CRYENGINE3 VERSION OF BEAMNG!!!!!!
theres a secret map call blank space press F11 to get it
early 2013 beamng drive
I also bought this game thanks to @WhyBeAre. I think I got it around 0.4-0.5? I remember when the Barstow got added, so I guess 0.5. Fun fact: The cooling fan on my first computer ate it while playing BeamNG, and I had to wait forever for it to be fixed.

Can I download this version of beamng ?
idk. If you can, it's only on PC I think
What about 0.01 😳😳
