Why did racing become a dead genre? Is it because the average gamer doesn't have a driver's license?
Why did racing become a dead genre? Is it because the average gamer doesn't have a driver's license?
Paul Walker died
its not really but its all high sim shit now while cool shit like burnout is dead forever or will have a shitty copy that doesn't even come up to par
ea kept releasing bad games same as they did with rts.
inb4 MUH SIMS KILLED THE GENRE MUH ARCADES KILLED THE GENRE
TOO LATE FAGGOT GET OWNED
Nowadays you either go the nostalgic route and fill your game with miatas and R34s or keep trendy and fill your game with boring ass EVs, station wagons and SUVs
In reality cars have become so boring lately that no one really cares about them anymore
Racing Lagoon was just that fucking good.
I WAS JUST
A LITTLE TOO
JUST A LITTLE TOO
The genre is significantly more enjoyable with hardware that is prohibitively expensive. No one's going to drop a fortune on a decent peddle, wheel and racing seat. Its heyday was in the arcades.
It hasn't died, tens of millions of people play Forza Horizon, various sims like AC and Iracing are very popular too.
The issue is Horizon being so popular it pretty much killed everything else, and unlike shit like Fortnite, there's less money to be made in racing games, so other studios don't even care to try.
SLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
That image is of a 2008 PC racing game that was designed for an Xbox controller and got a bizarre and unnecessary arcade port several years later.
Realism and DEI killed it. See NFS Heat. The most cringe dialogues with the shittiest songs ever. NFS peaked with old Most Wanted where you could kill cops with giant donut and stuff. Indies only try to make their games to look old but their gameplay is usually very bad, see Victory Heat Rally.
They killed any sense of progression. You don't even start with a shitbox in some cases and go straight to super car because of those sweet marketing deals.
I just don't find them exciting to play.
It’s alive and well. Mario Kart World will prove it
saves your genre
I don't know. They went the way of like those train simulators where people buy them to play as specific brands of cars instead of having atmosphere and fun races.
I'm open to playing more, but I'm not a car guy, you gotta give me more than just specific licensed cars.
This is the truth. Cars of the last 20 years are all the same fake-SUV, stupidly oversized truck, same shitty hybrid engine, or the same goofy "le future is here" EV. There's no variety even in chassis shapes any more, they all have very similar sized engines, there's just nothing.. (and no nobody actually gives a flying fuck about the latest horse car)
Grand Theft Auto IV came out and mogged all racing games so hard the genre imploded.
There are some playable games, Wreckfest and BeamNG but they're not quite on the level of the GOAT.
I miss the Midnight Club series. Fuck Rockstar for letting this franchise fade away.
Mario Kart is not a racing game.
dead genre?
but the most popular game ever is a racing game
Neck yourself, brown simp hellspawn.
What is it then?
Are you okay?
If you mute the music and skip all the story and dialogues NFS Unbound is a solid game..
It's a party game.
its a game where you race
Sadly yeah, open world slop has really eaten the arcade racing game's lunch. In GTA you can race as well as do tons of other shit, which is clearly superior to just a racing game.
I really enjoyed The Crew, just wish it was a better game, the second one was pure shit except for the map size.
Cars themselves became boring. If you're not gonna put all the classics and nostalgic ones, wtf are you gonna race ? Bland SUVs and EVs ? I know that I tend to say that driving shitboxes in gran turismo is cool but those cars are so mundane I'd rather have a Renault twingo race or an early 2000s yaris one.
gas prices too high, nobody can just drive for fun anymore
A party racer?
It's fucking nuts these days, man. Early 00s you could get bored and go on an interstate roadtrip for like $10 in gas, now that buys you like a quarter of a tank.
people don't get that this is part of GTAs magic. it's a racing game where you can kill homeless people with a bat
they better go all out in gta6. optional manual transmission and everything.
Mario Kart spawned a whole subgenre, "kart racers," dozens of cartoon license titles each one worse than the next, still racing tho
for real, if you threw your friend two dollars and fifty cents he would chauffer you around town
I have never killed any homeless NPCs in GTA, plenty of women tho.
It's a pain to get my wheel and pedal set out / setup; I prefer some IRL light hooning in my miata.
Test Drive Unlimited devolved the genre into an open world slop without the life sim element that made it good
The Crew 2
you drive for likes and upboats
LMAO, ubishite is such a fuckig joke, they intentionally built up every so many games to ape Rockstar, but never had the barins or balls to achieve GTA's success
Which racing/car video game would be ideal for me?
I hate Mario Kart
I hate F-Zero
I hate Diddy Kong Racing
I hate Kirby Air Ride
Anti-Mario Kart game
Game with anti-Nintendo aesthetics
Game with anti-Mario Kart gameplay
oh me neither, it was descriptive.
it's a racing game where you can fuck hookers
Depends on whether you want arcade physics, life sim, or simcade
Celebrities who are travelling the world in private planes are saying it's bad because of climate warmin- I mean climate change.
i want a new star wars podracer game or at least something in that style where you're going sideways to slip through cracks and crevices.
I'm looking for realism.
I want car/racing games to look as anti-Mario Kart as possible.
And I want their gameplay to be as opposite to Mario Kart as possible.
Climate Change is real, but it will take rich people not being as rich to stop it, so it won't stop ;)
just play rrt4, it`s the goat
Something made in the 21st century gramps
Start with Wreckfest.
You want Anon Babble's videogame general then, Anon Babble is more of an Outrun/Sleeping Dogs board. Need for Speed is about as realistic as it gets.
Gran Turismo, Assetto Corsa, BeamNG take your pick from least to most realistic
Do you recommend any Need for Speed?
That's why I want to avoid games that feature or focus on illegal racing.
Sorry to drop this on you bud, but no one ever cared about cars.
Pro Street was good. The name speaks for itself, it was professional, sponsored street racing. It was legal.
play the night-runners demo, then
lowkey the best game of 2024
Street car culture is dead, ricing is dead, old shitbox restorations are dying, new cars are so locked down that you can't have fun anymore.
All this translates to interest in racing games.
Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed
I'll play Pro Street on my PlayStation 2.
Maybe I'll download the PSP version to play it on my emulator on my tablet.
Having a lot of shit games released in the 2000s and 2010s didn't help but the overarching issue is declining IQ rates. Games better not ever inconvenience the player ever, so no totalling of your car with too many crashes, no complex road layouts, no split-second decision making to be first. And apparently a lot of people are also filtered by having to break before turns, with one guy I know telling me once that "he couldn't tell when the car breaks" whilst playing an arcade racing game from 2010. And that's after I pointed out the break lights to him and that he should pay attention to them.
All of thess factors combined led to at best stagnation in the genre and at worst regression. A PS1 era racing game plays hardly any different to a PS5 era racing game.
Driving sims are too aftaid to properly challenge the player without resorting to bullshit difficultly like 100 laps, arcade racers are too afraid to add sim elements like a more robust damage system, and non-racing driving games like Driver were killed by GTA.
I don't expect the genre to ever see a proper revival either, since indie devs are mostly nerds who only care for fantasy and sci-fi shit, while most racing games need to be set in contemporary (or period piece) urban environments which are like kryptonite to indie devs for some reason.
Anon Babble doesn't know shit about cars or video games
died off like nu-metal and skateboarding, the cultural zeitgeist moved on
Honestly I never knew it got a PSP version.
cars
Well yeah. Easily the worst practical board. At least Anon Babble can hang a shelf, Anon Babble can make a swan and Anon Babble doesn't even pretend to care about anything other than mcchickens and booze.
videogames
In general sure, but they're pretty into their multi monitor racing wheel setups. Millenial balding stepdad with filipino wife core.
most indie devs are vegitarian hippie nerds or align with that culture to be indistinguishable from them, they loathe cars cause they worship walkable city ecotopia ideals and blame fossil fuels for the climate crisis, etc... the whole car culture is entirely alien to them
Can't believe I forgot about Dirt Rally that game is the most fun punishing driving game I can think of
Rubberbanding AI
That is all it took to kill the racing genre.
Millenial balding stepdad with filipino wife core
A perfect description doesn't exi-
just play Assfault 9/Legends, it's my most played game on Switch ;)
MC got merged into GTA. The bad part is losing the MC sovl but honestly, it's kinda better to not have real cars because it's annoying dealing with license bullshit that limits a lot of customization. If someone wants real cars just mod them in. I do very much prefer Forza Horizon's handling than GTA's handling though
Nobody really cared about that. Rubberbanding was only SUPER prevalent in GT1 and F-Zero GX. I seriously don’t remember a Need for Speed where rubberbanding was that big of a deal.
I do hate that you can't destroy "real" cars in crashes in most games, but suits will be suits.
I seriously don’t remember a Need for Speed where rubberbanding was that big of a deal.
The genre died because the 2000's import/tuning culture died. It was a cash cow for a couple years, companies capitalized and once the well dried they moved on. Forza Horizon 1 proved to be the next cash cow to milk and it still continues to make gorillions.
Arcade games are mechanically brain dead shit for retards and sim games are so boring and sterile aesthetically they might as well be sleep aids. Sim games with exciting settings is the unserved market where racing games would shine, sadly nobody is ballsy enough to do it.
This isn't a racing game, it's a jrpg for people who hate racing.
You gotta be trash at these games man. Underground 1 had that one mission now that I think about it, that was scaled off your car’s level though and not how fast you were going.
Like fighting games is just basic melee combat gameplay, racing games is just basic movement gameplay you do to get from mission to mission in games. It still has a small, dedicated fanbase in the thousands but gaming overall has long since evolved.
lmao
Maybe you should stop playing tendie shit and MK clones if you hate them so much. You'd probably like pretty much any highly regarded racing game that wasn't Nintendo since none of them operate that way besides maybe wipeout
It still has a small, dedicated fanbase
yes
gaming overall has long since evolved.
LMAO
to what, sharkcards and v-bucks???
kys zoom-zoom
Car culture is dead, also games aren't allowed to be fun and genuine anymore so only niche autistic simulators survive
Unfortunately and unironically, yes. I never said evolved for the better, retard. But you need to get over it. Driving is mostly just something you do in other games now and it's been like that for a long time.
nobody plays GTA to race lmfao they had a 2x week for races recently and it was still dead
The entire game is about street racing to and from crime scenes, and against cops and other players.
redoing the same years old races over and over to grind RP
nah
I will for new tracks tho.
Driving is mostly just something you do in other games now and it's been like that for a long time.
what flavor of retardation is this?
Real life. Maybe play some games sometimes?
Too many nigger music.
Also, I'm waiting for Initial D to come on PC, which it never will.
arcades were already on their way out when home racing games hit their peak. if anything it was arcades dying that allowed racing games to flourish
like what, GTA? Which has had driving in it since long before the driving genre died?
Also why didn't it kill FPS games too?
nobody cares about games with unlicensed cars
car licensing got more expensive
FPS games took over the industry for a decade because COD was so popular
car culture is dead because zoomers are too scared to get their license and because they've been raised under constant propaganda over cars being racist and the cause of the supposed imminent climate catastrophe
sim fags killed them
Driving in games is nowhere near as fun as it is IRL. Maybe with the right hardware it would be, but I'm sure as fuck not wasting hundreds of dollars just to maybe have fun in one game genre.
No one can afford brand licenses except huge corpos and they all make shit. GT7 is the best racing game currently, it has nice graphics and the cars feel fun to drive, but everything else is shit. It’s only on PS, it’s full of fomo shit and overpriced cars, shitty race payouts that require you to grind one race forever because it’s the most time efficient, car lineup rotations so you can’t buy them when you want and invitations awarded only through roulette which are random and you can’t buy certain cars without them and you have 1 month to use them once you get them.
Actually, the halfway sim halfway arcade abomination that's Gran Turismo killed racing
Simfags were happy with their GTR2 and RBR
Car licensing is very strange and I can't make sense of it, especially when it comes to crashes and police chases. The assumption is that the rare/expensive manufacturers don't want that stuff but then stuff like picrel comes along where you have all these super rare and exotic cars (for it's time) getting destroyed in quite graphic crashes and getting involved in high speed police chases. It makes no sense.
Are you completely retarded?
Last racing game I played a bunch was one of the project gothams. It's kind of boring just driving through modern cities. Controller or keybaord doesn't do it. I think being able to mod the car is a needed feature.
As a kid, my parents actually cared about age ratings, so I wasn't allowed to player shooters and had to play racing games for the most parts. So shooters became the cool forbidden fruit, while racers are the safe and boring option. Even now, I'm interested in guns but don't care for cars at all.
no u
great argument, dumbass.
be kids
we rent ps2 for the weekend
bro gets Gran Turismo 4
wow look so real
bro spends the entire weekend driving
I fall asleep on the couch watching him run the same race over and over
Was me when I watched a friend play the original Assassin's Creed after he invited me back to his place after school. I even asked him continuously when I could play. Was the last time I hung out with him alone.
super rare and exotic cars (for it's time)
They still are super rare and exotic cars now. This game's car list is still one of the best out there with so much variety in such a tight package.
lol, what a dick
lmao literally a reddit take
remember a while ago some redditor telling me cars are a niche hobby
probably a tranny, because in the real world when you talk to men cars are definitely one of top subjects of conversation for easy small talk
nevermind all the racing games that are released yearly or nearly yearly (Forza,GT, NFS, fucking GTA) and still sell big numbers
car culture is still up and running
Because Legendary cars like the Skyline and Supra became jokes. One automatic and the other a BMW with a Toyota badge. The 350z hasn't changed since 2000's, it just got a facelift with Z.
The GR86 that was supposed to be the spiritual successor of the S15 and A86 is just a shitty Subaru and don't even have an OEM turbo.
All exotic cars are automatic and have electric motors.
Cars are just not exciting anymore. The isn't even any point in building an engine and try to make cars faster when you could just buy a Tesla that will easily beat all combustion engine cars with turbos, so car culture has become more about the appreciation of a begone era. It's boring.
My zoomer brother and his friends all have fancy whips
Me and my boys have shitbox autism
shame SE will probably never make something like this again
what about blur and splitsecond i thought they were unique
Any recs for somebody that started Most Wanted recently? Will beat Carbon after I'm done with this game.
Not a big fan of sims btw.
enjoy early-mid game before the rubberbanding becomes absoluetly retarded like in any other nfs game
It’s still fun and they flourished in the normal console and controller market
Racing died when the PS4 didn't launch with a ridge racer game on day one.
pls grind for months in GT or better yet, buy all the fancy new cars directly, bro
still cant fucking believe that car sound tech not only stagnated like a decade ago, they even got worse and all the retarded racing g*mers keep caring and talking only about graphics, like, you stupid fucking nigger, if i wanted to WATCH cars i have google images and youtube
I blame car companies, they are anal about muh brand and it looks like muh brand
Realism kill the genre.
I picked a gran turismo for my son a few years back and it was just so boring.
I miss NFS so much...
Sound quality in games died in general because gamers still only use 2w rattling TV speakers or el cheapo headsets that sound like sticking your head in a washing machine drum. Good audio is never coming back because gamers do not care about it.
That said wreckfest has some top quality audio - especially for the crunching of metal and shattering of glass.
EA killed off WRC, no future releases planned
F1 is losing players every year and licence is supposedly running out this year
NFS is dead, no new releases planned at this time
Forza remains relevant, but is in the worst state it has ever been
GT7 is live service crap
numerous other franchies like Flatout, PGR, Burnout, Midnight Club got killed off years ago
Arcade racing bros, it was a good run
Bugbear holding the torch.
really looking forward to the sequel, looks like they improved engine sounds a lot and that was my only complaint about the first
Not even China can save it
Mario Kart bros... we fucking won!
It's not dead it's just cut down to a couple of options just like everything else. Used to be dozens of racing games coming out every year. Now you can pick from GT or Forza or the rotting corpse of NFS.
Solar crown was supposed to the hero we needed, but alas was not. Oh well just wait for Screamer next year.
anime aesthetics
its the netflix style
fucking hell
Anyways, how the new Tokyo Xtreme Racer? When will it leave early access?
Cars suck now. They're all the same boxy boring plastic mom-mobile crossovers. Every modern car looks and performs exactly the same and no one's making anything interesting or fun anymore because of emission and safety standards getting gayer by the year. The only really good performance cars are all designed solely for the track and you'll never even get near one.
I like the Fast and the Furious franchise. What game should I buy to replicate the familia experience?
what are car mods
It's a curious thing indeed but it does have a banging intro, should've been used for the original release
Is it because the average gamer doesn't have a driver's license?
Ironically I used to enjoy racing games way more before I got a driver's license.
Mario Kart
NFS peaked with old Most Wanted
The most cringe dialogues with the shittiest songs ever.
kek
implying NFS didnt peak with MW and Carbon and both gameplay and popularity
go back to Hot Pursuit, grandpa
ALWAYS remember.
Each brand gave off a different gimmick while adding fatigue to their own series with their own faults
DLC fracturing their car selections or maps
SP was just ass or Multiplayer too limited
Car wrecks were amazing and cool but maybe aggro from NPC racer/cops too intrustive to just cruise
You couldn't just cruise etc
GTA comes out and it's everything these other series offered and more
Only sims and rally thrive until another free roam festival comes out that can offer brand cars
Any rallycarfag here?
Reject RBR, embrace CMR 2.0
japshit cars under gay ass body kits and stickers of gay shitstritracer culture. Imagine playing racing game with no ai and weird physics, underground era SUCKS.
t. born too slow
Forza and GT dominated the scene, that's what happened.
Based taste anon. For me, Racing Lagoon is in my top 5 in ps1 games, and ps1 has insane kinos, so that title holds weight.
Gran Turismo had a movie and Twisted Metal a series, why
We live in the bizarro timeline and few noticed.
the dirt series was good, ran out of steam with dirt rally 2 though
So did Need for Speed, but it was just a shittier F&F. I guess that's to be expected though.
HIGH SPEED DRIVING RPG
This sounds like pure ludokino, is it good?
Any pc ports made by dedicated fans?
Honestly, I think most people don't actually like racing they just want to have a virtual car or bike, customize it, drive around the map, and listen to music which already solved by GTA
And it seems like serious racing games are always racing sims maybe because it's an easier way to add depth to the game rather than experimenting with new stuff
Sony has a film studio and an entertainment division.
I love Flatout 2, FO Ultimate Carnage. However, Bugbear just released Wreckfest 2 in bare bones early access and I am not going to bother with it until it's actually releases. And it could possibly never happen if it gets stuck in EA like many other games have. It's kind of obvious they went for EA because they don't have the funds to keep working on the game unless they get influx of money. Sad
Solar crown was supposed to the hero we needed, but alas was not
I am so sad how this turned out. It was supposed to be a reboot of the series, but they just wanted to cash in on Live Service and failed miserably.
On a side note, Grid Legends (2022) and Dirt (2020) were probably the last games we will see from those franchises. I think EA is getting ready to axe Codemasters
because the companies publishing these games wanted more muh realism. NFS post MW was such a boring slop
NOOO YOU CANNOT TUNE YOUR CARS BECAUSE… BECAUSE YOU CANNOT OK
That was like the whole fucking appeal.
Any pc ports made by dedicated fans?
No.
just emulate
muh realistic skyboxes
muh realistic locations
muh realistic cars
muh sponsorship
no destruction / fun crashes
mtx jewry replaces customization
but driving around in GTAV is so fucking shit tho, the map is a fucking circle
t-t-thanks game
Damn, at least the Tokyo Xtreme Racer was more lucky in that regard.
No you don't understand, I NEED to play games in 1080p and mods! Its not the same without that!
...like a race track?
Just look at modern customization in racing games. It barely exist. Then look at NFSU. A lot of things to customize. Even more, how many games you can name with night street racing, cool music and hot babes on start line? Very few people autistic enough to ride through fucking stadium laps and they'd rather see Nascar on a TV.
Anon Babble is a strict turn left only board.
Fucking nigger you got me there.
If they were at least good I wouldn't mind
my main problem with NFS is that they refuse to do cool things anymore. they have the power to do cool things they couldnt before, like run over street race spectator at the start of race and see their friends screech out while everyone else go into a big cheer due to how cuhraaazy this is. their excuse is that they want to sell to kids, but they have no problem with putting in explicit rap music and police violence.
not only do you have shit opinions, but also you didnt put nfs rivals under burnout clones even though its made by burnout devs
Mario Kart World is only 23 days out from release, it will be the biggest selling racing game of all time
Calm down Ken - you are supposed to be dead.
explicit rap music
all the songs in MW and Carbon are censored tho
It is. The races are intense because you risk your car parts, there is full car customisation, and the racers from the plot have enough personality to make racing against them intersting.
The last part of the story is a bit wacky and dark, but find me a racing game other than racing lagoon that has an actual, coherent plot.
There is not an official port; the game didn't see a worldwide release, but some years ago, it got a fanmade translation. Just emulate it with RA or duckstation
Remember when everyone used to hate NFS getting yearly releases like Assassin's Creed or Call of Duty... Now we don't get anything at all
didn't genki get sued or some shit?
Doubt TXR is getting out of early access hell
it will be the biggest selling racing game of all time
Yeah no
And it's barely a racing game
I was talking about unbound
There was no need to turn NFS into "Assasin's Creed with cars", it was doing just fine before then, idk what EA was thinking. I really wish they gave the devs from Carbon more time, the games shot for me.
I tried playing one of the modern Forza games and just felt embarrassed by how desperate it was to keep me entertained.
mountain duel kino carried carbon pretty hard, i can't remember any game that did those well or at all
idk what youre talking, why would they get sued? car licenses?
'member when need for speed was aimed at people who liked cars and not just tiktok larpers?
1v1 duel in a canyon with japanese music in the background
I swear the devs really wanted to make a NFS in Japan, its basically free money and I idk why EA hasn't noticed yet.
Nvm i remembered seing this somewhere but it turns out it was another company with a similar name that got sued because of switch 2 accessories
what do you use that names the screenshot in that format?
Cars are just not exciting anymore
This pretty much. I don't drive and I don't want to drive because there are no cars I'd like to drive anymore.
>>>>Yeah no
Yeah I'm gonna need you to take a look at #5
Steam.
Most of the time windows 10/11 inbuilt Game DVR screen capture. Win + alt + prntscr is the default hotkey iirc.
Modern cars are boring as fuck. Even "luxury" cars look and feel like absolute shitboxes now.
I mean I wasn't happy about yearly releases, but looking at what we (don't) have now, it was infinitely better. And yeah, Carbon slaps
Gaming just sucks now, not necessarily because there aren't any good games but development times are too long and budgets are too big. So if a game can't repay it's development cost of $100 million in the first week it's not worth making. There is no space for racing games any more. And those games were considered the pillar of the industry from the early days. It's no wonder the industry is fucked
The one thing this game did absolutely right was the sound design. It's top tier for engine sounds.
It looks breddy gud
Modern cars are boring.
At least interesting motorbikes are still made.
a launch title for a failed console is going to sell as much as a game that launched on two generations of consoles totaling 200 million units
Sure thing, buddy
Besides, you're in a wrong thread. This is a thread about racing games.
Xbox not getting labelled as ecoterrorists for promoting cars is already surprising in current year
What most people want is driving street legal cars very fast or offroad. The joy from Gran Turismo was driving civics and golfs, not the supercars.
last original burnout game ever released is a 2011 mobile game
Only arcade racers died. Sims and simcades are still doing pretty well.
your youtuber guardian told you to complain about grinding (racing)
it was never that bad. spending an hour to unlock one of the nicer cars in the game is fine, that makes collecting all the cars more enjoyable than just getting cars rained on you like forza horizon imo
The grind in GT7 is actually pretty abysmal if you're trying to collect all the cars. The classic cars take a long time to save up for. You basically have to grind those credits while afk using the daytona method if you want those cars in a reasonable amount of time.
still doing pretty well
For now
Sim racing players are a different breed. They just stick old games and mod them which I respect but that means no new games. Assetto Corsa was released in 2014 and iRacing was released in 2008. Releases have slowed down, the only upcoming sim racer I know of is Project Motor Racing
There's a certain novelty to driving very much not street legal cars through city streets as well. It's part of why the M3 GTR is so iconic.
Has anyone here tried this game? How is it?
I wonder why they did it, was GT7 not as popular as they wanted?
Racing sims are already at the start of the same trend that killed arena shooters. Namely people play the game game for so long they never entertain newer titles so nobody bothers catering to them as there simply isn't a market.
What happened to that racing MMO? It just failed to launch
Why would you play anything new when GT4 Spec II exists?
Apparently GT7 is the best selling in the franchise from what I heard. It's a fine game, but the career mode is not nearly as good as the ps1/ps2 era games. Not much worse or better than GT5/GT6 though. If you don't play online, the most frustrating thing will be saving up credits for some of the classic cars.
You mean test drive solar crown?
Anyways, how the new Tokyo Xtreme Racer?
Right now the game is way too easy and the AI is kinda terrible.
I'm bad at racing games but even i only lose a race when i fuck up massively or when the opponent has a huge straight line speed advantage.
Ai reliably shits itself in corners or drives into traffic.
That aside, its not as if i'm not having fun, but right now i can't reccomend dropping 30 bucks on it.
When will it leave early access?
According to the steam page it leaves ea this month, but the devs have been awfully quite lately so i'm not sure it will.
uhhhh you dropped your Mario Kart World on the new console??
Racing games are sort of uniquely boned because as a genre, they're especially vulnerable to autists sucking all the chance to have any sort of compelling gameplay or fun out of multiplayer, and races are more fun with other people.
It's one of the many victims of perverse incentives and google assraping real communities of human beings to death
Exactly. Sim racing games are passion projects that can't succeed in AAA space nowadays. Arcades can still succeed but they won't as long as publishers are chasing unsustainable growth.
Frankly overrated. It still needs a lot of work and people are dismissing a lot of legitimate problems like poor AI and optimization issues as "jap game jank."
It launched and I wish it didn't. It looked so good until they showed gameplay with multiple people playing it on stage and it became known it was a live service slop
These idiots need to realize mutliplayer racing is not fun and go back to making fun singleplayer arcade racers
wait why do i recognize this woman? who is she?
I like the game, but I think the style of game TXR is won't appeal to racing fans. There's not really any racing, it's just dump power as fast as you can to get ahead and win in 20 seconds
MMO
live service slop
Anon... they are the same thing but with different names, what did you honestly expect? Even NFS World has microtransactions. As long as the game is fun I don't care.
I was expecting a singleplayer game with a multiplayer component that I can ignore, not online only slop
Keep in mind they weren't marketing it as an MMO when it was first shown. The first trailer only had some CGI and a release date that was later pushed 2 years back. Maybe they decided to make it online only mid development.
Games for car nerds shunted cool shit out of the market.
That's cool, it would be a shame if Gran Turismo died.
Nah he was bang on. And it made more sense when young people were easily able to afford new cars, even enough to shape whole markets.
The issue with racing games is normies will not play a racing game without real cars, and car licensing is absurdly expensive, leaving the space for indies to experiment limited. I dunno what the Tokyo xtreme devs did to get the handful of licenses they have but it must've involved some mean dick sucking.
Driving sims are too aftaid to properly challenge the player without resorting to bullshit difficultly like 100 laps
I'd love to see you doing all gold licenses on Gran Turismo 7, or atleast the Nurburgring circuit experience. Unless you think Gran Turismo 7 is some outlier in this case
muh DEI
It is not.
THIS THIS THIS
Can't wait to finally move to a house and build a rig for my 15 year old G27. I heard you can actually mod the h-shifter in
mass multiplayer online
I expected single player
Solar crown looks worse than TDU2.
Mario Kart niggers are the trannies of racing games, they try their best to look and feel like real racing games but everyone knows that its just a party game under all that make up.
Cope :)
desu if I want to play the best party racing game ever made I bust out my playstation.
I don't think anyone gives a shit about car licenses. The prior success of burnout, wipeout and the current success of mario kart and GTA tells me success lies with the structure of the game, not car autists wanting the official badge on their 3d model.
This, newer NFS is god awful which is a shame because I love the level of customization the series offered
I kinda wish Forza would make a NFS type game, instead of making the games car gachas/collectors just have a smaller amount with deep customization
wait, is that...
Rubberbanding itself isn't the issue
its a necessary evil to stop races against cpus from turning into time trials
The real issue is that every started doing burnout style rubberbanding,
WHICH WAS THE PART NOBODY FUCKING LIKED ABOUT BURNOUT.
love me racism
decide to upgrade to an oled screen one day
perfect chance to play the classics
lmao oleds are all about black levels, lets see how some night races look
mfw
Seeing corners and (where applicable) traffic just come at you out of the pitch black darkness certainly keeps the pulse up during races.
I want twisted metals and car combat games back, man.
I've interacted with people in this very board who refused to play forza because it didn't have a particular variant of a subaru
Which is odd as subaru - notably in the US - has strong connection to the LGBTQ community. Subaru even used this in some of their marketing at one point.
I don't know who she is. It's just an image I saved from here. I presume it's some e-girl because of how this guy sperged out about it.
Why so mad tho?
trannies out of nowhere
Obsessed
Not really. It's a comfy Shuto Expressway simulator. Going around racing randos is a good time, and your knowledge of the roads and carefully choosing where and when to have your battles is just as vital as having a machine that's up to the task.
People on Anon Babble are fucking retarded. There are still arcade racing games out there, there's just no way to compete with sims on console and PC so they just make them for phones now. Asphalt is one the most played phone games ever and it's just a burnout/hot pursuit clone.
Zoomers and normalfags hated arcade games so boring shitty unfun simturds took over and then died rightfully
Is Moza R3 worth it?
wrc is not an arcade game
fucking shithead
simniggers with smelly simcage setups
erm ackshually real life professional drivers are wrong, the tyre model is fine, they are just shitters who are mad they can't drive
Drive daily irl
go home and drive on a computer
retarded genre, only 10yo kids like racing games
retarded opinion.
The need for speed movie is still in HD uploaded into YOUTUBE, even after all this time its still up there
GT4 Spec II
that game is not a sim
I am learning that racism is creating an entire subgenre of music. Not being someone who normally listens to this sort of music it is educational at the very least.
>Drive daily irl
>go home and drive on a computer
based
The newer NFS games would be fine if the driving didn't feel like total ass.
It just feel so slow and underpowered, especially while turning.
Playing carbon and 2015 makes me feel like 2015 doesn't feel fast at all
Weird, why is every new meme music genre related to car culture, also from generations of people who don't even like cars.
First it was Eurobeat then outrun then phonk and now rally house?
Fast cars need fast music.
They both still pale in comparison with 2015 Need for Speed
quit making this thread everyday
cars and car games are for enthusiasts only
if you dont have a wheel go home
controller arcade games are gone for a reason
The three Outs died, and the genre died with it.
Wipeout
Flatout
Burnout
I am not going to spend upwards of 10000 dollars for a simcade set up. fuck that shit. arcade vidya all the way. love me hot pursuit love me burnout paradise love me midnight club simple as
I just want a grid game that maintains the career progression of race driver. They had it so good and surely could expand upon it but they just turned it into weird story narratives.
The career progression isn't the only thing that was lost with subsequent games
1) Should have never touched the handling, the first game was perfect.
2) Music got worse with every game, 1 was again the peak.
3) Pit banter and dynamic dialogue was crazy good, again, in 1.
What? I bought a wheel, pedal and shifter for like 300 bongs and now have a full setup. If you have a job it's impulse buy terriroty
Amouranth before her surgeries or something?
Some ruskis made a flatout successor.
store.steampowered.com
Thank goodness OutRun still lives on!
>Wipeout
this franchise had low sales
>Burnout
outsold by need for speed and midnight club
The comfiest way to play racing games is laying in bed with a crappy laptop on your thighs.
Should have never touched the handling
grid deserved to die for having that garbage handling and trash physics
The progression in tail out is kinda meh sadly.
Nobody is asking for another NFS.
Everybody is asking for another Burnout.
I played FlatOut and it was actually fun. Took me back to the old days. Could have used a bigger budget but if you want more, go buy the game and support them.
Faggot retard, it was the best simcade experience on the market.
No it’s because normies like real life cars but unfortunately to put real life cars into your game you need real life licenses from each auto manufacturer otherwise you’ll get sued. Some car brands don’t allow their cars to be in “street racing” anymore. Most of them want a lot more money than the old days to be licensed to be used in your game. Some have exclusivity deals to only appear in one publisher’s games for a certain duration. Also unlike other games where technology increases the car manufacturers don’t allow realistic crash physics so your racing game will need to be arcadey where your cars bounce off the wall. Most of the time now it’s Forza and Gran Turismo, who are owned by Microsoft and Sony respectively, pumping money like mad to get the newest cars and nobody else can do that anymore it’s too much of an investment. There were really good devs back in the day too like the Driveclub devs who got screwed over, it’s believed Sony only wanted one big racing game on their system and that’s Gran Turismo otherwise it eats into its sales. Gran Turismo and Forza both have a lot of online components now, to the point where they play like mmos loosely speaking eapecially with Forza and Gamepass subscription. Racing isn’t a dead genre like other game genres there’s only 2 big winners who don’t step on each other’s toes.
Who is the greatest racing team in all of vidya and why is it Feisar?
Everybody is asking for another Burnout.
i dont think burnout paradise remastered had that many sales
besides burnout 3, burnout dominator, burnout revenge and burnout legends were too similar
Everything is outsold by Fortnite, nobody gives a shit about this stupid talking point.
empty insults
project gotham racing 4 was better
forza motorsport 4 was better as well
codemasters deserves to be killed by ea
so you all excited about the crew unlimited?
is it going to be online only?
Ubislop
excited
Didn't even know it existed and somehow care even less after learning of its existence.
the crew unlimited is a restoration project for the crew 1, the game that got shut down by ubisoft. some modders are working on a server emulator so you can play offline/play p2p. shit's coming soon supposedly.
ea choose need for speed for a reason
ridge racer 6 was a dissapointment for namco
I don't own the crew because lmao giving money to ubisoft for online only and last I checked no cracked version existed so can't say it is on my radar.
Virtua Racing gets a masterful port
On Switch
With no analog triggers
Only analog option is using the right stick as the gas pedal
INSANE
The entire genre never recovered from Big Rigs.
When someone says racing games are dead they aren't saying racing games don't sell as much as Minecraft, they are saying they are shit.
haven't all the driving games collapsed into a handful of corporate AAA pay to win titles? same thing that happened to sports games, the kind of people that are into them have just disappeared from internet talk because they don't play anything else or want to talk about anything else
they are shit.
lemans ultimate and ride 5 are new releases and they are decent games and games like automobilista 2 is still getting new updates and new content
If there was a racing sim that legitimately competed with Gran Turismo on PC, it'd sell infinite copies.
Arcade racing was killed by GTA.
it's a rodent from the north region of asia
iracing is better than gran turismo
Racing is still a good chunk of what I play on my emulation device even though I don't touch that genre at all on my modern machine. In my limited experience contemporary racing games are all these pseudo-sim monstrosities that are trying to ape the look and feel of GTA 5. It's like they're designed to appeal to the biggest normalfags on the planet and they generally cross over into that culture that I avoid with a ten-foot pole, which is that whole Fifa or Madden space where you have broccoli haircut tell you about their gambling sponsorship while they throw money at some pay 2 win gacha mechanic while they overreact to their wins. I don't know why any of that happened.
They aren't even remotely similar.
I am so fucking tired of simfags recommending me all this shit when I ask for something like gran turismo on PC. I don't fucking care about your autistic realism and physics, I want simcade, I want career, I want collecting cars, I want customization and variety of racing events. The only game that is somewhat similar on PC is forza, and it fucking sucks.
the only game i remember being kind of ok after the NFS era was GRID.
the ai in gran turismo is a joke so the career is always underwhelming
somehow iracing has better ai than gran turismo
and collecting cars is boring
iRacing - it's sunken cost fallacy
Gran Turismo is still god tier and has 50x the content.
Just play gran turismo on pc
Gran Turismo is still god tier
not with these physics and that awful penalty system
50x the content.
there are more tracks in iracing
I've played the first four already. Haven't tried 5 and 6. I heard they aren't well emulated yet.
The new Forza Motorsport (8) kinda sucks but might be better in subsequent updates. Try FM7. The only other closest game with car collecting and career is Need for Speed 2015, Heat and Payback but it's more arcadey. Forza Horizon 4 and 5 are great but again more arcadey. Assetto Corsa is good but relies heavily on the modding community and no real career. Also I hate the
simcade
copium from iRacing fags to make them feel better about their 20 year old shader mod and texture upscale. Does iRacing let you change your oil? Does it let you use your wipers? Does it let you do power mods? Aero kits? Fuel levels? Play around with the buttons in your car and let you pop the hood and check out the engine bay like Forza Vista? GT7 is as a real as it gets and Forza Motorsport is its only real competitor.
there are more tracks in iracing
Who cares when GT7 has 500+ cars all of which can be customized and tuned while iRacing only has ~100 cars that are mostly stock. Also cool graphics nigga, 2006 called and wanted it back.
20 year old shader mod and texture upscale
meh lemans ultimate has the best simulated gt3 cars and that game has a minuscule budget compared to forza or gran turismo
turn 10 and polyphony digital are a bunch of lazy hacks
GT7 has 500+ cars all of which can be customized and tuned
enjoy your SIMCADE
This whole fucking generation is full of identityless tiktok larpers. Since zoomers have no culture of their own, and no social circles to reinforce those cultures, they arbitratily enjoy 'aesthetics'. It's why there's a billion goth chicks baiting coomers by posting their tits online and no goth clubs with people under 35 in them.
that game has a minuscule budget
Nigger its budget comes from the subscription service. $13 a month from its loyal paypigs. Come again about lazy hacks? Post some iRacing graphics on your 4090, I want a good joke.
Enjoy your subscription service SHADER MOD.
Why would switch players notice this?
How did a PS2 game have better graphics than modern video games?
lemans ultimate does not have a subscription
store.steampowered.com
its an early access game and is still better than gran turismo
Racing games haven't died, what's happened is that to try to attract more people the devs of the mainstream garbage have been trying to make more and more absurdly retarded things that have nothing to do with what people who like cars are looking for.
There's a reason why there are 400 people playing Need for Speed on Steam right now, against 11000 people playing Assetto Corsa, people don't want these watered-down garbage where the cars don't behave like cars. Most people playing Assetto Corsa now aren't playing some serious business simulation variation also, they're just enjoying the realistic cars in mods with traffic, or drifting for fun with friends online, that sort of thing. Because that's what people want, more or less realistic cars for them to enjoy.
A Need for Speed based on the Assetto Corsa engine and without any of the rad teenage stuff, but which just puts you on open roads to drive super machines fast through traffic, as you know... the first fucking game in the franchise and the only reason it was a success in the first place, would be enough to make the franchise a success again. But the games industry is too compromised for anyone there to have any idea what to do.
Note:
And players take the opinions of Youtuber retards too seriously. These youtubers are the kind of normalfags who think that because there isn't a mainstream piece of trash of a racing game with 100 million marketing making it big now, it means that an entire genre is dead.
what are you talking about?
need for speed heat has better graphics
forza horizon is more popular than assetto corsa
How come EA never decided to do Blackbox era Need for Speed remakes in this era where everyone is making remakes of everything?
Are they saving them for an emergency?
early access
$100 in DLC already
12 cars in base game
base game is $40
LMAO
hey any of you iracing fags wanna pop the hood?
the handling and the physics are worth it
I've never played Forza Horizon (mainly because of the rad stuff for teenagers), but as far as I know, it does exactly what I said: it gives players the opportunity to have fun with more or less realistic supercars with friends, or driving through traffic, etc. Forza has always had a relatively advanced simulation, instead of a totally false simulation of the tire as Gran Turismo does to this day, Forza back then was already simulating temperature (at various points in the tire) and pressure properly.
Forza Horizon probably simplifies these things, but it's certainly on a par with Gran Turismo (another successful racing game).
Literally all I want is a Burnout game that I can play in VR with my steering wheel setup.
Because they went super deep into being simulators, so the only people who play them are people who are super into cars, not video games. No one who plays video games and is looking to play a video game is going to pick up any of them sim style racing games because they are trying to be like real driving, rather than a compelling video game.
The problem with racing games that aren't sim has always been that the gameplay is often a stat check if there isn't more realistic racing mechanics as there wont be ways you can actually get ahead of people who are just as fast as you when you can't optimize your routes and speeds. It doesn't make for good gameplay, with nothing coming out that really makes it more interesting, kart racers solve this problem with powerups and shit but they are not suitable at all for a game more focused on racing and actually having other mechanics.
So you end up trying to make a cool looking car with good stats while the rest of the gameplay sucks and it doesn't really work. Racing works far better as a side mechanic or part of a larger game than it being its own game now, maybe something could release that has some good ideas about it and be more interesting, but nothing has so far.
Pic extremely related.
And NFS is woke trash. I tried Heat and I had to mute voices and music 2 minutes in because they were fucking unbearable. Plus it runs like ass sometimes for no discernible reason.
I just want a fucking game where you do street racing, police chases, and has car damage.
Cool copium, here let's make this easier. Can you post a screenshot that looks better than a 2015 Need for Speed game?
Racing games are too soulful for the modern day.
Satan hates them with a passion because he hates your soul.
the graphics in lemans ultimate are fine
the highest difficulty in forza horizon 5 is invincible and most people cannot beat that difficulty
invincible
unbeatable
Need for Burnout Ricer here
ok so where does NFS heat fit into that?
Centenarians will look at this and be like "Ah yes, what a fine game indeed. These were the days, were they not my fellow interactive video entertainment system enjoyers? Time to connect the trusty old 200lbs brick to the electrical grid and lift this Compact Disk that is larger than a pizza plate into the so called optical disk drive so it can physically spin it in the contraption and conjure a total of five individual polygons onto the screen of this ray tube that burns images into this phosphor screen that has a significant chance of inducing seizures and nausea while generating the noise of a jumbo jet engine. Ah yes, there it is. Only three minutes of loading time to enter the first race. Perfect. Just enough time to pick up an energetic beverage. Mhmm. That hits the spot. Oh blimey, I need to save my progress. Hmmm, memory card full. Need to delete one of the the three saves it can hold. Ah. C'est la vie. It's been a bash, 800 hour FF7 save. Impermanence just makes the experience more special. Those youngins just don't know what they were missing out on. Stable, silky smooth 15 to 30 fps at a 4 by 3 aspect ratio, that's where it is at my chaps." and see nothing wrong with it.
I liked Prostreet.
Undercover had potential but they just decided to rush everything.
Correct.
not having three memory cards at minimum
ngmi
most people cannot beat that difficulty
most people don't even finish games
most people can't even beat games on normal
it isn't necessarily due to skill but interest as well, but definitely skill on some peoples part.
You aren't really saying anything.
Racing game that requires you to know the rules of the road?
This anon understands.
More like this. I still replay it from time to time.
I just want a game based around the same fucking concept, but slightly newer instead of from 30 years ago.
They made them with curry flavor?
What is the single best racing game from the 5th/6th generation of consoles?
Yes.
NFSIII
For saving your hottest laps, duh.
If your main complaint about forza horizon is how easy it is, then play the game on the hardest difficulty.
Lmao that killed me. Nice on anon. But in all seriousness, mid 2010s was peak graphics.
That era of games was when everyone was licensing out music, cars, and actors everywhere because people hadn't caught on to how big vidya was growing. It wasn't just NFS style racing but multiple genres that had loads of licensing got fucked over the course of the next gen. Can you imagine how much a new Def Jam would cost now and how many pages of fine print every celebrity would demand? If it actually released it would cost a shit load and be watered down and soulless and loaded with DLC.
Is it because the average gamer doesn't have a driver's license?
Isn't that the other way around? Why would I need a virtual simulation to drive, if I can just go drive IRL?
Video games are for things which are not available in life.
every game is the exact same
same as real classic retro genres like: football, driving, beat em up games.
make a cost trillons now.
there are people in this thread that think this gameplay looks "radical" and "jacked up to the max" and who will, without a hint of irony or shame, use phrases like "EXTREME-ULTRA-SUPER-LATE-BRAKING!" or "HONMONO NO DORIFTO!!!" and think that there is nothing wrong with the sentence "The R badge on the back is the symbol of invincibility!" and "my dad owns a tofu shop"
Where the fuck do you live where you can do street races in populated urban areas without getting nicked by the cops immediately?
The problem with Forza is the sanitized and condescending pandering. Also I can't give a shit about the races, the entire setting is just so fake it takes me out of it in disgust.
Okay, you sold me. Sauce me up.
"The R badge on the back is the symbol of invincibility!"
those guys are awesome and I hope they reproduce
EV
I fucking hate this meme. It's an electric car for fucks sake.
...an EC?
blah blah blah
shut up
lotta genres died. or rather everyone is just playing the same few games now
kinda ironic the decentralized internet would lead to centralization of content
dooood look at all those cars parachuting from the sky!! I love how popular and rich and loved I feel in this game! My redditor friends sure are going to love all the pictures!
It's Side by Side Special.
youtu.be
The game had a revision on the PS1 called "Side by Side Special 2000" which added support for the Analogue Dual Shock controller and lowered the time limit on the tracks, which makes the game harder, but outside of a few minor details it's the same game.
Thanks man, been watching Initial D recently and this game felt too fitting.
Just looked up the OST. What the fuck does this have to do with racing? Who listens to this shit?
youtube.com
No wonder these retro niggas didn't get any bitches on their dick
Bro nah. Is this some aerobic workout music?youtube.com
lmao fuck. Yeah racing games died for a reason. They did it better in GTA anyway.
Anyone like remaking the same car/livery across racing games?
For the M3 mod anon from the last racing game thread if you're here this is for you.
What is the most fun rally game to play with a controller? Apart from Mobil 1 Rally of course.
Look how good OP’s game looked
Good times, great game
Also play Gran Turismo 7
Music got worse
lol I remember having a tard rage moment as a kid doing time trials for the first time and finding out you have to beat your own score several times in a row. Ended up stomping on the disc and ruining it. A couple of years later bought a discounted copy of CE and loving it.
Shame that South Central areas were like 10 FPS on the PS3.
Both games were commercial flops, anon...
In fact, Blur cucked to the trends of the day to its own detriment. Leaked Blur 2 protoypes show how how crazy the game was invisioned originally.
BeamNG
Both games were commercial flops
and need for speed hot pursuit was a hit
I just wish your average raceist game had toggle to turn off rubberband. This would fix dozens of games from unplayable to maybe passable.
Cross Racing Championship
no rubberband
I said game anon.
there are dirt roads
Wreckfest's highest AI setting disables rubberbanding. Hope you know how to brake otherwise first place is gone.
I've driven a real car, feels much better than driving games on a flat screen
Now VR is where the future of racing games lies if you want virtual, interacting driving, but holy fuck the motion sickness is killing me, there needs to be a fix for that and the devices need to become as lightweight as regular glasses.
Open World games combine racing with their own mechanics and also make it overly accessible so for now a bunch of people have no interest in buying racing games when they can get GTA V and practically get like 6 games in one + the Halo 3/Reach era of map making but way better so closer to PC map making golden age but accesible and cross-platform.
hmm dont remember this track
killed by simfags
Reject 4 wheels, return to two.
It is in every version of the game - PSX release, PC and second edition.
Just emulate it. It gets ridiculously easy if you use any kind of guide for which parts are good and which are not, but at the same time it really does not allow comparing them either, so you are just going to have to keep a pen and paper handy and/or try things out.
It is really good and while the story is hammy it is also comfy and relatively low stakes, you just gotta strap in for the ride and enjoy it. It's not mega long either and you can finish a chapter in one sitting fairly easily (it has like 12 or so)
Test Drive Unlimited 1 or 2?
Is it because the average gamer doesn't have a driver's license?
implying you weren't 3 when you played your first racer
Most Wanted had egregious rubberbanding, NFSU2 would do it in outrun races but it wasn't as bad as how it would spawn tons of traffic right after turns if you were in the lead and none if the NPC car was ahead
These threads are always full of people asking for games like the classics from the 2000s and even when you give them one they either call it shit or ignore it. Weird.
Because I want something with a proper dash cam. And yes, I know GT4 Spec II has a dash cam option, but I have to either deal with blacked-out or extremely low-res interiors.
Criterion would be making Burnout but instead they're ensuring people are burnt out on Battlefield.
The only game that is somewhat similar on PC is forza, and it fucking sucks.
that's because GT sucks
I prefer 2.
bumper cam > all
Are you retarded? He's obviously referring to how trannies diguise themlevss as the opposite gender in relation to Mario kart supposedly disguising itself.
Just gonna post Climb Dance because there's bound to be zoomers ITT that haven't seen it.
You must be one genius of a driver.
play split/second
quick play is fun as fuck, constant explosions, npc racers taking each other out and over is fun as hell
try story mode
PURE cancer, Rubber banding as fuck even with the best cars (fuck those suvs), npcs only target you 90% of the time while I understand, it's still retarded, story ends on a To be continued..
looks like rally to me
sound + quality litter.catbox.moe
split second sucks
Graphics peaked with nfw underground
why do i recognize this woman
Shes a child porn actress lmao
What do you mean? The last Burnout game is a 2013 ga... Fuck it's been that long?
Ouch! That is seriously weak dude!
FUCK YOU BITCH
beamng really needs to go all in with the career mode. it has the potentiol to be the everything game, but if they get the career mode real solid thatll make the game actually sell and be relevant outside of car autists.
we need a gacha racing game where waifus can turn into cars and you are driving them I am not joking
For me it's Road Rash 1996. You're going so fast with a maxed out bike.
HARD AND FLAT OUT
i dont doubt it. it has been quite some time but i played it so much i'm surprised that i dont remember something so distinct looking
Cars are a plot by the kikes to get you to hate walkable cities.
i had all gold in gt sport and gt7, something i never managed in gran turismos before. i always blamed in the car handling being more precise than the previous games but maybe they really are making the games less challenging
why did snowboard games like 1080 and SSX die?
not entirely related but you also did racing in those games too.
That's clearly an adult, retard.
We no longer life in radical times, dude.
less challenging
online time trials are not easy
fake snowboard games
Good riddance. They were replaced by proper snowboarding games like Shredders or Steep.
Unmatched
Unmatchable
But you don't understand. I need my complex and useless combos, like Devil May Cry.
By the way, that was sarcasm.
Steep
Absolute fucking garbage. They forgot that the point of videogames is to have fun and do things that aren't possible in real life.
go off jump
die from G force before even hitting the ground
Fun, fun, fun. What a great fucking game you've made, retards.
steep sucks ass. I mean it's cool for a while, you can get a lot of speed on some of the terrain/levels/whatever you wanna call it, but there's virtually no tricks you can do and really that was the appeal, being able to break dance on a snowboard while IT'S TRICKY played in the background.
its fun to see ssx fanboys crying
What is the last good need for speed game? That one with cartoon and grafitti effects was any good? NFS Unbond I think?
ok but steep sucks ass. dunno about that other game.
for me it was hot pursuit 2010.
Hyperconsolidation of the genre; your options are either Forza, GTA Online or autism simulators. Need for Speed has been of schizophrenic quality. The second Forza got ported to PS5 people stopped pretending Gran Turismo was worth anything in the modern era.
It's successful, it's just not as crazy dominant as it used to be because it's basically become the default state for 90% of the gaming market.
Oh, and Mario Kart, obviously. Hard to argue with 75 million copies of Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart World probably going to have a 100% attach rate for its first month.
car culture dies
closest thing to it is trend chasers "ironically" making/liking eurobeat because le initial d me me exdee
modern generations are fucking cancer
26+ year old zoomers exist without so much as a learner's permit, let alone a driver's license, and they're terrified of driving
genre is corpsed by reliance on licensed music, which leads to the game being pulled from sale because greedy record industry whores demand very expensive license renewals
YOU'VE LOOOOST
AND IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN
YOU MUST FIIIIIND
FOCUS MY FRIEND
steep sucks ass
steep is better than any ssx game
play nfs underground 1 with manual transmission
there's almost never a good time to use 6th gear
huh?
youtube.com
if you look at this and say that it's not your cup of tea then I can respect that but I don't know how you could look at this and say that it isn't fun, more fun than whatever steep was trying to be. and yeah they did throw in a jetpack at some point but I don't think the game's map as a whole holds a candle to this game that has the insane physics and levels on top of it.
ssx is boring and thats why is dead
deal with it
yeah well you have shit opinions is all. deal with it.
Even by arcade gaming standards this has nothing to do with snowboarding.
CD PLAYER PLAYER PLAYER PLAYER PLAYER PLAYER BUT I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT ANYMORE
Juiced didn't have rubberbanding, you could lap the whole grid if your ride was good enough and you drove the optimal line.
youtube.com
ok so you don't like wingsuits. you don't have to use them.
There is no difficulty in Horizon's AI, the cars just line up in a train line and push to/pull away from you with a rubberbanding system with infinite mass to them in case you try to push them to counteract them also having (usually) 30-50% more power than you and way better grip. This has been the case since Xbox One era and it has fucking sucked. Racing is Forza has never been worse, especially in Horizon, because Horizon is no longer a racing game. There is no need to actually win races, there is no incentive to do so and there is no place for you to do it outside of discordnigger communities. Stop talking out of your ass.
rubber band is present in almost every arcade game
f zero gx has rubber band in the story mode
ridge racer for the psp cheats in the max tour
every motorstorm game has rubber band
The Ford Indigo was literally the best car in that game if you don't count the fzr 2000 you unlock by beating story mode
It was fast enough to keep up in the straights and the handling was godlike so you would always drive the perfect line into every corner at full send.
Nah the lotus GT1 had it beat as it handles just as well but is faster.
Can't be, its ingame parameters for top speed and acceleration were literally lower than that of the Indigo.
Test it yourself on proving ground - the lotus has a higher top speed.
I will
How did this even come to be? Last I heard of Test Drive, it was a PC arcade racer with a lot of late 90s industrial (pitchshifter, Junkie XL, Fear Factory, Gravity Kills, kmfdm) and an even lower budget offroad spinoff series. Offroad 2 was hilarious because it cheesed the budget so bad, the soundtrack was two Gravity Kills songs, one Fear Factory song, and one Sevendust song
Make sure to get verok's patch from pcgw.
super complicated stalker mod Frozen Zone falls apart
pivot to making mobile racing games with eventual steam ports
What a weird situation
Eden games got the job to make a game (same eden games that did NFS porsche on psx) and they made test drive unlimited 1 + 2. After they died and the IP sat in limbo it got picked up by nacon who made solar crown in the style of TDU (in fact the name solar crown comes from a championship in the TDU games) and decided to make a meh game that wasn't what people wanted.
Went from cheeki breek to to cheeky brake....y.
Is it because the average gamer doesn't have a driver's license?
isnt the average gamer an adult?
Doesn't run even with the patch, I'll try again tomorrow, too late to deal with problem shooting.
nfsu in general is pretty bad with its transmissions
some cars stop accelerating at 5th gear early game
and some are stupid OP like RX-7 that pushes from 200 to 300 kmh on gear 4, you pretty much never need to shift
thank fuck nfsu 2 let us adjust things, still much prefer 1 to 2

Do you also fuck up "palate" and "palette" and "pallet"?
I came here to drop knowledge.
Lower top speed than I remember, but still higher acceleration and handling.
Depends on the track then, my memory is vague but, I usually only had a hard time in tracks that were top speed heavy, everything else was smooth sailing.
Don't cry about your dead genre if you want to bury your head in the sand. Faggot

noooooooooo racing games are dead because of WOKE!!!!!
You'll grow out of this phase some day, kiddo
Having the two separate but concurrent progression trees- just completing races and leveling up your regional licenses, and acing everything for the Ravenwest head to heads, with two separate 'final bosses' of McKane in the Koenigsegg 1v1 and the Audi team at Le Mans- is such a neat little bit of progression that it makes me sad no one has cloned it. I guess NFs ProStreet is kind of close with race day domination and the Kings but eh. And I get WHY they did weird story stuff, normies love F1 drama and Codies was already making F1 games, but I just don't like it, and the rusty feel of the original never came back period.
Buddy, I love RD:G but calling it a better simcade than Forza is just wrong. Grid leans WAY into the arcade side of things, with the only real sim part being "you should use the brakes sometimes" and "one good crash is enough to retire you from the race." Closer to a reimagined NFS High Stakes than anything else, honestly, including HS PC's wonky handling.
Cause games give you the best car at the start and there's nothing to work towards. Also live service
