Do you like Karting games? Which one is your favorite and why?
mario kart, anything else feels like a thai konck off
The only good one is mario kart and even the latest is pretty shit
>>719557142>>719557215>>719557558I grew up with Mario Kart, but I feel it really went downhill after DS. Played Crash Team Racing casually on PS1 and when Nitro Fueled came out I went all in and became pretty good at it. Since the game kind of died out because of the bad online and loading times I looked into Speedstorm (fun but pay2win), Kartrider (pretty skill based but has some online problems and cheating), Karters 2 (it's great so far but it's Early Access) and Crossworlds (just ok). So right now I'm kind of disillusioned with Kart racers, I'm banking on Karters getting updated or Nitro Fueled getting a PC port.
>>719557142WHO?!!?!?!?
Karting games aren't meant to be skill based, they are for family and parties. If you want skill you should play racing Sims.
>>719557948i will not play your shitty iRacing
>racing game>but let's use the slowest moving vehicles>and let's race on tracks with the widest turnsBack at the start, I never understood the people who would rather play SMK over F Zero. For fuck's sake, you only had 50% of the screen in the original SMK.
>>719557142Mario Kart 64Mario Kart DSSonic and All Stars Racing: TransformedThis is it for me. Honorable mention to CTR on the original PlayStation though.
>>719558018This is why I like CTR, they may be karts, but they are fast as fuck and they have the tightest turns, with mechanics and physics to really let you take risks when approaching them.
CTR is the best kart game for the PSX, but that console has many other great ones. That generation was the golden age of the genre.If you have a PS2, Pac-Man World Rally is a great one. Unfortunately, I don't know of any other good kart games for the PS2.Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed is excellent and probably the best kart game for the Xbox 360 and PS3. Blur is pretty good, too.
>CTRNF is forever stuck on last gen>not a single decent kart racer in development or announced it hurts.
Anybody remember Re-Volt?
>>719558393I do
>>719558340Karters 2 is basically NF's spiritual sequel and is currently in active development.
>>719558423Pretty sick game right?
>>719558515when's it coming to consoles? seems like something that might have dead online real quick unless there's crossplay.
>>719558890It's alright. The RC cars handle like they are on ice and you can lose control at any moment which makes cornering a bitch and a half.
>>719558393>>719558423>>719558890>>719559005For me, it's Rollcage.
We need Motor Kombat II.
>>719558907>when's it coming to consoles?The Steam workshop modding is a pretty big selling point. I don't think they would be able to implement that of they decided to launch it on consoles. I doubt any of the companies being happy with Mario, Master Chief, Kratos, the sex dragon from Palworld and Uma Musume characters racing together on any console.
>>719559524i have a steam deck but haven't used it in ages. if it runs good on there i guess i could play it since it's not very expensive. is the online dead in early access? is it matchmaking or servers?
>>719560085I've been playing online recently, never had problems finding at least 6 more people to play with say any given time.
>>719559368Based, this and Hotwheels on the ps1 were my jam
>>719559005I liked the controls, they had that weird snappy feeling of real RC cars.
>>719562187I appreciate the accuracy but, eh. Unless there is a drift mechanic I am somehow missing, the controls are a bit of a turn off to me.
>>719558132Absolutely based taste, anon.
>>719557142What game is top right and bottom middle?
>>719557764The Karters 2 Turbo Charged/
Doctor Robotnik's Ring Racers is the best Kart Racer I have ever played, nothing else comes even close for me. God I can't fucking wait for 2.4
CTRNF no contest
>>719557948
>>719564517Weird name for a cat but I don't mind. Our kids can be called The Kidsters 2
>>719564526How different is it from Robo Blast?
>>719565546They're fundamentally different games. SRB2Kart is Mario Kart but faster and slightly more tightly designed (by default, anyways; every server runs a fucked up combination of custom gameplay mods). DRRR has a lot more unique shit going on and kind of works like F-Zero with the Rings system, plus it has a full singleplayer GP campaign with unlockables all over the place.I'd wait for 2.4 to play it, though, because they're overhauling a bunch of mechanics to fix some issues with the item balancing and adding Proximity Voice Chat.
i want to see a kart racer with the handling and physics of parking garage rally circuit
>>719565931The "2d on 3d maps" aesthetic never felt right with me, for the same reason I could never get into SRB2 or DRRR, or Mario Kart 64, for that matter.
for me its ctgp-7 on my phone
>>719567216If you turn on Hardware Rendering mode it actually replaces all 52 or so of the base characters with 3D models, along with all the items and such. I just left it off while recording those videos because it's both slightly unstable (some stages have dev textures visible for whatever reason) and almost none of the modded characters support it.
Karters 2 mentioned!Would any anons be interested in playing together? There's a CTR thread on >>>/vm/1846438 that also included TK2 on its roster and I've been wanting to play it with more anons.
>>719567694That's a good start for me. I'll wait until the new version like you suggested up top, thanks anon.
>>719562187How much does one of these cost? I really want one too play around with for 15 minutes then never use it again.
I downloaded this mod/fan game for mario kart Wii called retro rewind and it kicks ass. It’s got every track in the series(sans world and maybe arcade?) and you can jerryrig it to work with a racing wheel. The only problem is I don’t think the SNES or GBA tracks are anywhere close to scale because the turns are insanely sharp
>>719567216There's an option for 3D models and even some modded characters get some if they're high effort enough.A few things to note>The tutorial sucks and some important mechanics are never taught to you (such as the fact releasing a drift in the air makes you fastfall)>The game's unlockables get cyptic as shit eventually, but starting blind still holds some easily accessible secrets that make it worthwhile>Both games have high skill ceilings but SRB2K's lower skill floor makes it preferable if you have a group of people to shill it to. SRB2K is devoid of singleplayer outside of TT while Ring Racers has so much it can last you possibly near triple digits if you're a completionist
>>719570347They're actually revamping the tutorial entirely in 2.4, which is another reason I think he should wait to play it.
RHYTHM BADGE
>>719557558Mario Kart World is a good game mechanically speaking but they made the most stupid decisions in regards to everything else.
Mario Kart 64 sucks cock and I’m tired of pretending otherwise
>>719557215>mario kart
>>719557142I prefer something like burnout, I want generally real racing mechanics mixed with encouraged dirty racing
Mario Kart Wii and CTR (original and remake) are kart racers at their peak.
I was fond of modnation racers back in the day
>>719572531I played it recently and it's indeed pretty ass
>>719572531MK64 is such a weird beast as it gets cocksucked to high heaven but there are contemporaries that butt-fuck it. 8dicks edition might be mid but it doesn't have much in terms of competition whereas 64 fucking sucked but SOONAYKINGU!!!! or some shit
>>719557142Why are there 4 anthropomorphic animals in the pic but only 1 feels like a furry
>>719573771Biting her lip makes it a little sexual.
you may only reply to this post if you're an elite kart racer
>>719573906I admire your dedication to Crash Load-times Racing EVEN MORE LOADING edition
>>719573906Reporting in
>>719574039I've heard this argument I couple times, was it really that bad on PS4? I played it on PS5 with no issues>>719574194Based, oxide crash cove was a pain in the ass
>>719574767Its very bad, something about the way its programmed makes every loading screen reload all of the games assetshttps://youtu.be/OeO5UmQGwRY?si=SRQje5WXvPKIXvXq
>>719573906I even have the Xfinity kart and the gummy karts and I'm not even from the US
>>719574935Jesus
>>719573094>Funky Kong Racing
>>719573826Is she actually biting her lip? I thought it was more akin to a smug smile.
>>719557142I swear to God of CTR doesn't get ported to PC this year I'm going to blow a fuse
As much as I like SASRT>not enough tracks>the physics can be fucked, particularly for boats and collisions with other players >dead onlineso SRB2K for me.
CTR is the only good game here
>>719580151Original or NF?
>>719580197Both are fine honestly. NF made blue fire easier since you can chain it with jump boosts without losing it but added bad loading times.
World is the best kart, “intermissions” withstanding. There should be a queue without them, but the item play in this game is solid enough that they’re not too bad. And the base machanics are by far the best, with the interplay of drifting, rails and walls meaning there’s more decision making about routes than before. And KO Tour is better than any other alt mode in the genre
>>719567892Is it possible to join with an emulator?
>>719581332I agree with you on everything but the items part. Items are terrible in World, more players mean more shit happening, and sadly it ends up with first place managing to get a lead because they escaped the initial chaos, and the only player being able to stop them (2nd) can't because they are the target of everybody behind still in the pack. This isn't an MK-only problem, granted, but I've felt it way too much in World.
>>719581559I'm not well versed in pirated steam online gaming, but as far as I can tell, the game uses Photon Servers and not Steam, so maybe?
>>719581753I think items have their issues in World for sure. What I meant was that I think the items work well to keep things engaging for “intermissions”, as, along with traffic and boosts and whatnot, there’s a good amount to consider and time to assess what items your opponents have and stuff. Front running seems super mixed in this game. I think it’s really fest or famine, depending on if/when the blues and lightning come. The biggest issue with the game is people holding onto lightning until the end of the last lap imo
>>719582296CTR, anon. I only have a pirated switch copy.
>>719582531Oh sorry, I thought the post was about The Karters.Don't you get banned from going online with a pirated copy? Unless there's a patch to that, I wouldn't know. Have you ever tried going online?
>>719581753My biggest problem with the items is definitely how common lightning is. I swear it never happened as frequently as in this game.
>>719583082Getting zapped while you’re off course and going from a potential top 3 to 12+ os brutal and way too frequent
>>719583057I haven't. No direct connection?
>>719583712Might be able to connect directly with other emulators, like Dolphin does for up to 4 player splitscreen. But for Online you will need to join the servers.
>>719557142I enjoy Diddy Kong RacingJust a solid game. Good tracks, good challenge, good music, fun little hub world.
>>719585086And you can play the campaign multiplayer as well.
>>719583613Makes me remember ctr nf and the 50 orbs at once. Those didn't do anything tho
Kartrider Drift was good but Nexon killed it when it was apparent it wouldn't die on its ownLive service should not be tacked on to kart racers in the first place
>>719557764Is this the infamous gato puta?
I will never recover from this. Too good to be on playstation filthy hands
>>719588365La Gata Puta is a title held by many
Idk if it's considered a kart but it's kartlike at the least: wish a sequel to Blur or a game by that team was being made. That game had all the magic of Mario Kart but just lacked a little but if meat on it's bones
Was the Little Big Planet racer any good?
>>719588258I remember when it came out, legitimately fun and skillful
>>719557142CTR NF is the best game ever, even with those shit load times.Anyways making Liz the mother of my 20 children.
