Why are modern racing games so shit now?
gt3 at spa
Kirby Air Riders is amazing
sim slop or """""arcade""""" racers that look like mobile games
>>734955013it's amazing how daytona 2 has such a greater sense of speed than the preview footage of forza horizon 6 I saw
i'm playing Most Wanted 2005 atm
>>734955013What is a modern racing game?
>>734955303Judgment
>>734955236old nfs games are overrated slop
>>734955436mostly yeah but not Most Wanted, faggot
>>734955013Working for AAA racing game makes me depressed.
>>734955158i wouldn't have bothered watching the preview.dropped horizon on the one where IT'S YOUR BIG PARTY, WHAT ARE YOUR PRONOUNS?
>>734955013man why is that late 90s/early 00s arcade graphics aesthetic just SO COMFY and appealing? We've somehow never topped it despite all the tech advances.Is it just a matter of SOVL or what?
>>734955013You're not playing the right ones.
>>734955602story time
>>734955013They became too serious.
>>734955704Increased realism lead to less actual art direction. There were very careful considerations on how to make textures look lit up, now you just have a lighting engine that makes everything look like shit.
>Takenobu Mitsuyoshi recounts how he became the voice of Sega>says Daytona changed his life>producer (that would be Suzuki or Nagoshi) ordered every department to do something groundbreaking>Mitsuyoshi was just doing audio and SFX until now>he reviews other racing games and notices none of them have vocal tracks>Daytona becomes the first racing game with vocals>fast forward a few years>EA commissions mainstream musicians to create new songs specifically for NFS>Rockstar makes it big by including radio stations in GTA>Sega doesn't cash in on the trend, it's on the brink of bankruptcy until the Sammy bailout
>>734956057Uhhh I'm afraid that's covered by the NDA.
>>734955704Auto Modelista (2002) had a nice art style and it's not really an arcade racer (for the time).I think devs just gave up since all the big ones build their games for multiplayer only. You can still get cool styles in the indie scenes.>>734956279Aww come on! Redact all the names if you have to
>>734955013I hate these Arcade racers that give you a game over if you're too slow.
>>734956389
>>734956720go faster then, dipshit
>>734956720That's literally the game, you keep playing until you can actually win, And I say that as someone who never beat the second stage of Sega Rally 2 on PC.
>>734956279>>734955602You don't get to escape anon, spill the beans!
>>734956848>AAAkek
>>734956279Just redact the important names and dates and replace them with fake joke ones. It's not like anyone's gonna find out
>>734955093Kirby is built on 90's Arcade sensibilities. It's not modern
>>734956249Sega should really release a Arcade racing pack, with everything from Viruta racing, Daytona USA, Scud Race, Daytona USA 2 and all the Sega Rally titles. Hell I would buy it.Failing that, At least Relist the Daytona USA ps3/ 360 ports and port it on steam.
>>734956918>>734957029Okay it's not any one specific thing, it's just being surrounded by these people who are not gamers, not racers, hell majority of the dev team doesn't even own a driving license being a car guy in that team makes me feel like I'm the weird one and not them. A good game let alone a good racing game could never be made in such environment. This may sound obvious but it hits just that much harder when you see it first hand. The memes are real, the game you are looking forward to in 2026 is by vast majority made by tonedeaf people who hate games and hate cars. The 2026 racing game will not be a good one and marketing is almost completely a lie.
>>734955059based
>>734957474
>>734955436Underground is the greatest racing game of all time, and driving around listening to Two Lane Blacktop is pure SEX
>>734957474>majority of the dev team doesn't even own a driving license being a car guy in that team makes me feel like I'm the weird one and not themI'm guessing your European, most likely working for a city dev, judging by that little anidote about most team members not owning a driving licence, Which would be less likely if said dev was town based.
>>734956249>producer (that would be Suzuki or Nagoshi) ordered every department to do something groundbreakingJesus Christ, talk about stressful
>>734956972>outlon park>in the rainpure hell
I never knew how to steer properly on Daytona
My guilty pleasure is booting up GTA 5 singleplayer from time to time just to cruise through the map. The driving in that game is trivial but damn it feels good
>>734958340You turn the wheel in front of you on the machine
>>734958393That just leads to understeering and crashing
>>734958448You'll need to take your foot off of the gas pedal and sometimes use the brake pedal to decelerate and make sharper turns
>>734955013modern racing games have to have online and therefore have to be tuned to engagement whore and the whole genre suffers.
>>734958340Go manual, do the 414, downshift to 1 slide, upshift to 4 straighten the car.
>>734958551I bought Dirt Rally 2 and the game literally booted me out from the singleplayer career mode because the servers went downSteam support was based though and gave me a refund even though I had played for 5 hours already
>>734957916Despite what internet memes will have you believe, most people in Europe do actually have a license.Only the most basedest of onions men don't
>>734957993Depends on the mentality of the staff. Some, especially Japanese, would love basically having permission to do whatever they want instead of sticking to the monotonous corporate checklist.
>>734955013Rave Racer just came out on Arcade Archives and it's fucking awesome
>>734958513Sometimes that's not enough for some of the tight curves the game has
>>734955013Because they all try way too fucking hard to be extremely realistic, and the more realistic racing games have become, the worse they've gotten. No one cares how realistic your drifting is, people just want to Tokyo Drift around the sharpest of turns.
>>734956635why is it so blurry
We need to go back to non-orthodox racingWipeout, MicroMachines, fucking Bomberman Racing would be a nice change of pace. No waifu fanservice, not infantilized designs. Just racing, electronic music, and wacky weapons
I just like rally racing and only on loose surface. Fuck tarmac
>>734958865Okay serious answer this time: You'll want to use manual transmission and downshift around the curves. It's been a while since I've played but two main patterns I remember were downshifting to 2 and then back up to 4 out of some turns, and downshifting to 1 and then 3 and then 4 for sharper turns. Drastically downshifting makes your car's tires lose grip and makes the car start to spin which you can take advantage of and use to drift around corners. I don't think there's an equivalent mechanic like that with the automatic transmission, so you have to get comfortable with manual.
I just want more racing games like this, midnight club alone won't scratch the itch.
If I cope hard enough, then maybe one day Konami might resurrect this IP.
Was gonna post something about BallisticNG, but that's already a decade old.Next best modern futuracer is Redout 2. Such a blast at 240fps.I hope the genre get revived with the new Star Wars game
>>734958742>Despite what internet memes will have you believe, most people in Europe do actually have a licenseI know, A lot of them are pretty based with their cars too, It's just that the entertainment industry is calked full of Hard left pussys who are allergenic to making a decent project.Also the S-word is filtered and i'm not talking about shit.
>>734959710>Redout 2Holy shit UEVR works with this thing. I need to try it
>>734959667>midnight club alone won't scratch the itchToo bad the Midnight Club devs are too busy making endless Red Dead Redemption 2 dlc rather than an new game. But lets say Rockstar wasn't retarded, Where should a new Midnight club game be set?
>>734959710>I hope the genre get revived with the new Star Wars gameWe will be lucky if that games breaks 2 million.
>>734959960There will never be another midnight club game. Why would rockstar want to create competition for itself? GTA Online IS the newest midnight club. If anything GTA 6 online is the closest we'll ever get to a midnight club spiritual successor.So where will next mc will be set? Miami.
I finished TXR a few days ago and I loved it. I do not play a lot of racing games.
>>734959667first thing first: watch better movies.Then, play BeamNG.
>BallisticNG, but that's already a decade oldStill the king baby. Jokes aside, don't be shy and join us this afternoonRedout 2 looks really amazing in terms of speed and graphics, but ultimately i still think it has a glaring issue that sooner or later renders it boring: despite such speeds, the game seems safe as fuck. Railings everywhere instead of aerial sections, lots of health, seemingly inability to fly off the track, LOOONG straight segments instead of sharp curves to anti-grav drifting or simply turning for dear life and hope you don't get too much damageI mean, where's that sense of danger in the game's very mechanics that ends in excitement??
>>734956635>300+mph in neutralEpic
>>734960914The reporting gearing doesn't work. Most of those corner you take in 2nd or 3rd gear. It's a 4WD but the kicker is that all 4 wheels turn at the same time so you get insane cornering.The clutch turns on the jet engine boost at the back of the car.Somehow despite all this all the physics are the default assetto corsa ones
>>734955013What are some "retro" rally games you'd recommend?
>>734955013Same reason sports games are so shit. Rather than going with the over the top arcade possibilities you can get with videogames, you instead got boring realism and simulation.
>>734961095https://store.steampowered.com/app/3621330/Pro_Jank_Footy/
>>734956635Indie Speed Racer? Looks great
>>734961029This is a good one if you are looking for some realism, if you want something more arcade, you got the old Sega Rallys.
>>734955704They needed to be attractive in the arcade to sell themselves as you walked by. The nu-industry is generally hostile to the idea of trying to appeal to people while believing mobile aesthetics genuinely look good.
I recently started GRID Legends. It's pretty okay but there is something I can't describe about the handling model that pisses me off a little. Anyways so far it's been a solid 6/10 so I'm not too fussed about the $15 I spent on it.
>>734961029ps2 colin mcrae rally games are a little more realistic then sega rally 2
People who say older racing games are only good because of nostalgia can go fuck themselves. I grew up with NFS like most people, nfs 2,3, porsche, underground and so on. Didn't play Gran turismo till like 2019, it was great. Didn't play midnight club until like 2023 and it was also great. But not all old racing games are good, played juiced and I've put that thing in the trash where it belongs.
>>734960776Since the boost is tied to your health, you're constantly edging if you want to win.It ain't like Redout 1
>>734955013Chasing "muh realism" inevitably leads to shit. Who knew. We have like 20 racing sims out and the only arcade racers are shitty indie ones where you go around a track and do fuck all. No one knows how to actually make an arcade racer outside of mario kart clones.
>>734955013My brother in Christokyo xtreme racer came out last year.https://store.steampowered.com/app/2634950/Tokyo_Xtreme_Racer/so play it its splendid
>>734955965Hope they got the single player right this time, I feel like there is no reason to play anything but multiplayer in the original besides unlocking shit.
>>734961313Will check them out Chief, appreciate it.>>734961545The PS2 is not retro...But yeah it has quite a few great rally/drift games in it's system. Tokyo Extreme Racer Drift 2 is another fantastic one. Unfortunately my current PC can't really emulate PS2 games all that well.
they really aren't
>>734961698Might pick it up when it goes on sale, not right now though, my wallet it kind of tight.
>>734961762>Unfortunately my current PC can't really emulate PS2 games all that well.that sucks, well if it helps the colin mcrae game did receive native pc ports, so that might be an avenue for you, you can find them on my abandon ware.
>>734961029Is Xbox 2001 retro? Then Rallisport Challenge 2.
>>734961762>my current PC can't really emulate PS2 gamesMy dude, a phone emulates ps2 these days just what kind of potato is it.
>>734961264Speed Racer mod for Assetto Corsa.
>>734961762consider playing sega rally championship 2, dreamcast should be easier to emulate than ps2.
>>734956720If you're really that bad, you can probably go in the service menu and disable the timer.
>>734959710How does it compare to the first one?
>>734957275it's built on good sensibilities. trying to frame it as era locked is midwit behaviour.
>>734962224He might be on some intel 6th-8th gen or something. I had pic rel with a low profile 3050 in it for awhile. It would struggle to run some games on pcsx2.
>>734962297>dreamcast should be easier to emulate than ps2Doesn't that game have a native pc port?
>>734959710Based Redout 2 enjoyer. That game hooked me like no other, I can't go back
Because racing games were arcade style games in the early days Now it is mostly realism and some people drop thousands of dollars on simulation stuffCan crash without the risk of paying more for insurance for the next 5 years, possible injury One newfag on /o/ tried to show off at his first meet and his car (with bald tires) went off the cliff and im pretty sure he was air lifted to a hospital Sold my shitbox focus st when I moved to the mountains and switched to a 4 wheel drive pickup so no more fun drives 4 me, so maybe someday ill get into the simulation shitI'll stick to whimsical kart racers in the meantime, normally I've only been into Mario kart, Diddy Kong racing, or crash bandicoot racing stuff but this newer sonic kart racer ain't bad despite its flaws If you miss the old fun of arcade style racing games just try a kart racer, take the fun pill
>>734962514yeah it got a pc port, Out Run 2 also received a pc port. They both have enhancement patches for upgraded graphics and arcade content.
>>734962894>Out Run 2 also received a pc portIt's a shame that game never got released on modern systems, thanks to the Ferrari licence expiring
>>734963091how did jews trick society into thinking this license bullshit is ok
>>734963436The idea of a License makes sense on shit like legally driving, Even if some governments tend to be either loo lenient or too stringent. It's went it's for products when it can go fuck it's self.
>>734963570well obviously i wasn't including drivers licenses when i said that, kek. i mean stuff like needing a license to have a fucking 3d model of a ferrari in your video game
>>734963570idiot
>>734962396All around better, but the first one has more track diversity and puke tubes.Campaign is much better though, since it dripfeeds you new fashion all the time.I really like the new turbo system. When you activate your super turbo, you strongly speed up for a few seconds, but collisions or braking deactivate it and it has to recharge. But if you don't activate it as soon as possible, you're not going to win.Both the super turbo and normal turbo now feed on your health, so you don't want to crash.It's very risk vs reward and has an intense feel.No weapons though, so it's pure racism.
>>734961903nuTXR is amazing but that's like the one exception.
>>734959710The campaign is so extremely bloated and the ai can't keep up with dual boosting.Really weird game, all the skill is about hitting those boost stack sections. Admittedly on some tracks it's very hard, but that makes the game less about racing and more mastering the tracks in a glorified time attack.Still the genre is so dead and I still care about it so I appreciate they made a sequel
>>734964610TXR has wack handling and I don't know if that's just how the series plays but it pisses me off a little. Still a sovlfvl game that's quite fun.
>>734955013Because you're finding non-racing-related things in them to cry about instead of playing them.
>>734964947There's a lot of handling settings you can try to make it better (some people like to turn off all the smoothing) but yeah you can't spin the wheels, that's the biggest problem for the series, it's like all cars have their TCS cranked to max and you never over-steer.But yea the game get away with it because of the setting really.
>>734955236For me, it's SRS girls.
>>734958941>and the more realistic racing games have become, the worse they've gottenthis is why f126 is a dlc, imagine an entire gawme with the 2026 f1 regs
>>734962459post a modern racing game then
>>734966782BallisticNG, Aero GPX, star wars galactic racer, Lego 2K Drive, Screw Drivers, GRIP, Tokyo Xtreme Racer, and trackmania. there's a bunch more but those are the ones that come to mind immediately.
>>734965647meh
>>734962854Sims are quite niche even if it is at its golden era. Arcades and simcades are a different audience, problem is that devs with enough money to buy licenses will only make open world shit, which doesn't quite work with racing games.I feel like Wreckfest is the only not indie game willing to make a fun simcade and not even them can afford licensed games.
I hope this is gonna be good.
>>734957763That vtuber has mad skills. I wish I could drive with my eyes closed
>>734964945>makes the game less about racing and more mastering the tracks in a glorified time attackI've been playing Crash Team Racing and Wipeout Fury lately and losing a race because of a single missile is such bullshit, I vastly prefer glorified time attack.
>>734967728You have seen nothing.
>>734955236>>734955236i beat the game and all the challenges in decemberstill fun
>>734958941Those people have 30 years of existing games and will never be happy with anything new that doesn't literally say "Underground 3 by EA GAME$™" anyway. They're retards.
>>734959174>weapons>racingsorry you suck>>734959696burnout exists dude
>>734957474>hell majority of the dev team doesn't even own a driving licenseThat's absolute fucking insane manHR in charge of hiring only the worst people on earth.>The 2026 racing game will not be a good one and marketing is almost completely a lie.Well.. shit man. But at least you got a gaming related job..>>734957916Nah at least in my part of eurape, everybody here has a driving license. It's rather cheap and easy to get too.
>>734967537>problem is that devs with enough money to buy licenses will only make open world shit, which doesn't quite work with racing games.it works well enough to sell gorillions of copies
>>734968095>sorry you suckt. scrub loser who can't fight back lol
>>734968237t. scrub loser who can't drive fast
>>734968321If you drive fast then weapons aren't an issue, scrublord.
>>734968391What game is that actually true in? The only one I can think of is like, CTR or something where you can go so goddamn fast you can outpace offensive weapons (the track is still full of dropped TNTs and beakers and shit though). Most games really like making weapons unstoppable and dedicated to the sole goal of "fuck the guy in 1st place super hard."
>>734957305I'm still fuckin waiting for Sega to make a big arcade collection or simply re-list most of the shit they took down, because most of it's gone now and has been for a year.
>>734955013The real reason is that companies universally chase the “sim” trend because of all the browns that buy those gamesSim racers are inherently brown because they involve driving cars that no brown could realistically ever afford or even see in real lifeMeanwhile arcade racers are the white man’s subgenre because they embrace feelings of freedom and adrenaline only reserved to people who have established societal presence
not even worth a (you)
>>734969182That argument doesn't work because these are a niche genre. Forza Horizon is the default racing game for a reason.
>>734967819you know, that wheel base is kinda shaped like a ribcageif only you could drive a car by spinning a little girl like that
>>734957474True story btw. The dev team was Albert Einstein
This game is pretty recent and actually pretty good
>>734969825
>>734967947>REDUXqrd?
>>734969971mod with cars from underground and carbon, functional 1080 resalso unlocks 2 more heat levels
>>734959121That looks promising.I hope the performance isn't shit
>>734969882>>734969825I'm surprised by how well it runs for the looks considering it's an UE game.
>>734955013Op, this guy has a point>>734955965
>>734955704Fuck Nigel, fuck Nigers, fuck the FIA and fuck the new cars.Hail Sauber!
>>734955013Star Wars Racer looks pretty good. Some of the des are ex-Burnout crew.
>>734969882handling feels pretty bad but i would've loved this game as a kidi think these devs are the ones making screamer
>>734962396They are different. Think 80s F1 vs current F1. R1 is hairy and visecral, handling is heavy and commital, and track design and ship physics are just out of sync enough that racing clean equals being slow, you have to constantly compromise, improvise and readjust. It also has ships that differentiate more as you go up the performance tree, beginner ships are all pretty similar but class 4 makes some ships feel like playing completely different games (Conq, my beloved). It has a few annoyances like selectable powerups but we all know speed core and turbo are the only options.R2 is a lot more streamlined, ships are more responsive, getting a good time means racing clean to preserve your health and then unleashing double boost on designated double boost straights, it's all very coherent, some would say to a fault (me, fuck Tilkedromes, give me Spa and Nurburgring). It's a lot more conducive to getting into the flow state, but it's not as raw. It's not bad, it's just a different experience, and also worth playing, you might like one or the other. The one thing I can kick it for is that tuning in this game gentrifies the ships instead of differentiating them, like in something like Most Wanted where every car can do everything well when fully tuned.
>>734955436Thank you. At least someone has self awareness. Need For Speed Most Wanted was like the hollywood slop movies on dvd at blockbuster. Underground was the equivalent of nigger MTV shows like Pimp My Ride. Even Midnight Club 3 had too much American media slop in it.
For me it's SRS
>>734972941nfs hot pursuit 2 on ps2 is pretty great
>>734955436Pro Street is one of the best racing games ever made, and we all know it could've been even better if EA didn't try to Sonic 06 the series three years in a row (with the last attempt being successful).
>>734955236>THEN YOU SLOWLY RECALL ALL YOUR MIND
>>734972941Old American media had soul
>>734972941what racing games do you enjoy, anon
>>734955013Too much emphasis on realism instead of fun.
Someone please make a new Crazy Taxi.
>>734973632kill yourself phoneposting zoomer tranny
>>734973456>>734973632TXR was good until it started using ‘niggerfy my ride’ cars in 3
>>734973717TXR was never good.
I love flatout
>>734973626They are, they just announced it and said nothing since despite its existence being leaked beforehand. Sumo Digital's making it IIRC.
>>734974028HOEH???
>>734974028Apparently it’s going to be a Crazy Taxi Battle Royal game with 100 other players. It makes absolutely no fucking sense but they took off all the dreamcast games on steam
>>734973802says the medication pill-popping ADHD-riddled zoomoid that LARPs as if he actually grew up with anything but Angry Birds and Fortnite
>>734957474Hilarious. But NOT a fucking excuse. Most of the people at Sega or Polyphonic who made the classics like Daytona, SCUD, Sega rally Grand Turismo 1-4 and the like did not have drivers licences or cars, and the cars they mostly had were like shitty kei cars.OK, maybe you see that in the grand turismo games.Make friends. Remember who's good.
>>734974192>Crazy Taxi Battle Royal game with 100 other playersOh for fuck's sake.
>
>>734974549man, this era of racing games fucking sucked and i say that as someone who was there
>>734974398
>>734974192>Crazy Taxi Battle RoyalBut that's the goal? if there's car combat that sucks.. if it's a race then it could be fun?People seems to have liked Fzero 99
>>734974613Road Rash was cool because of weapons.
>>734974279Unlikely, and Japanese rarely have that kind of "I have no idea what I'm doing but I'm sure I'll be the best at it" kind of confidence lots of not very smart people in the west have. You can be a car guy without a license (see- every kid who loves cars), and I can totally see a jap dev who really isn't one coming home and doing autistic levels of research on what makes it all tick.
>>734972261I had no problem with the handling. The drifting is actually pretty deep and has different soft states depending on speed and angle
>>734975017Japan, especially big city japan is very car light. But you have a point in that, just because you take the train or scooter doesn't mean you can't have a burning love for a rotary powered RX7 or R33 in your heart with plastic models and initial d arcade licences.. I'm sure Bustdriver anons' teammates don't have that love.
>>734972261>Screamerlooking forward to this one, i hope it's not shit
>>734972941What does self awareness have to do with how good a video game is?
>>734974615God Crazy Taxy was fun, are their any decent mods for it out there?
>>734958226Those people just standing in the trees at night is terrifying without context
>>734974615I knew the Crazy Taxi levels were fucking huge but it was so hard to see it all since they only put pickups in specific places. You had to really cheese the game to get around the whole map
>>734956923>hangin' Offholy shit
>>734956923Man, these first person shots really do look convincing for how baisic the visuals are. The camerawork is immaculate. Third person looks like ass tho.
>>734973626>>734974028>>734974068
>>734977138But I want a single player arcade game.
>>734957305Licencing issues with cars and Daytona speedway and that shit.
>>734977284>Licencing issues with cars and Daytona speedway and that shitCan't they just renegotiate? Konami managed with all the Ass creed costumes with the MGS4 re release, No reason they can't start now.
>>734977617Car licensing is a special kind of jewerish.
Nothing will ever top richard burns rally.
>>734976097I love Crazy Taxi 1 and could (and will) play that shit for hours on end, but the sequels just don't do it for me, and I feel like part of it is how the original San Fran map is a near perfect loop where you quickly learn where the problem areas are and where you can rack up time or score (or both). 2 and 3's maps are both too big and too boring, and the Crazy Jump being not just able to cheese traffic but also required for jumping certain gaps or buildings just irks me in the wrong way. Even the extra map in the Dreamcast version of CT1 just doesn't feel as fun as the original loop.gena is hot as fuck in the original too and worse in both art and voice in every rerelease
why is this shit so popular?
>>734978225It was once the default sim+cheap as fuck+no other sim has a mod scene as big as AC
>>734978225mods
>>734978225Mods, without mods this game would be nothing. So devs have strict no mod policy on all their newer titles.
>>734978345Dude, AssEvo.
>>734963091To be fair ferrari is the nigger of sport cars so no surprising
>>734978406Talking about Ferrari, how is that Microsoft can outjew them and damage their cars in their games but Sony can't?

>>734980035There's no penalty for ignoring the police blockade and driving through their cones.
>>734980075that's retarded

>>734980364is this bait?
>>734963091you can pirate it, retard-kuneasily too
>>734974192The ports where SOULLESS, they lacked the licensed music.
>>734980364No, that would be Project Gotham Racing 2. Or F-Zero GX.
>>734980636Yeah i'm aware, but a lack of an official release does reflect a lack of care from Sega. That or Ferrari's, licensing people are far more aggressive then they were 20 years agohttps://www.myabandonware.com/game/outrun-2006-coast-2-coast-cc3
>>734980586No. I never played it. Just asking because I am looking for the best racing game. I only played nfsu1 back in the day. Why is forza bad? It looks fun. I am installing it right now.
>>734980364So far, I prefer 3. but 4 is very close because of the seasons mechanic. 5 was a downgrade in terms of everything, vibe, map, music, etc. I'm going to buy an xbox one when I have a bit more money so I can play the xbox one port of horizon 2 and from what I read you can play xbox 360 discs on it as well so horizon 1 is also on the menu. I gotta say, 4's intro is excellent. only ruined by the dude having an orgasm towards the end of the intro race.
>>734980961i haven't into a racing game in decades. how casual are these games? i kinda want to check out 6 because japan
>>734981252>i kinda want to check out 6 because japanyou'll buy it and like it no matter what we tell you, why bother asking
>>734980862My bad, i'm tired. Yeah, licencing is a lot more restrictive with everything now.
>>734962181Is this 2? Does it emulate correctly? 1 is the one with a PC port
>>734962501You don't think a 2500K could handle PCSX2? Mine did
>>734981252Casual. They're barely games. You couldn't even call it racing really. The corners are mere suggestions. The obstacles don't really exist either.They're car collecting games for car-meet dudebros
yoooo i remember this shitdestruction derby no?man that aliasing. rough
>>734981252>how casual are these games?You can turn up the assists to the point the game plays itself, car automatically corners breaks accelerates and wins races for you. You can watch the game like it's a movie or a yt let's play.
>>734955236NFS is crap. Western racing games are all the same. You race along a straight road that occasionally veers left or right, and it goes up and down now and then.See also - Road Rash.

>>734958340You don't steer in daytona. You slide around every single corner. No exceptions.
>>734981476Sounds like mobile game.
>>734973717>the game made as a celebration of the tuner scene of the time was good until they expanded the customization to better represent the tuning element
>>734981252They can be as casual as you want them to be. You can turn on abs/traction control/braking assists/driving line or braking line/auto or manual transmission. I only used abs and braking line assists from the 3 games I posted in that image. Think of these games like most wanted 2005 instead of ridge racer in terms of driving physics. You can drift to turn but you will be wayy slower. You need to brake hard for turns generally and basic irl rules apply for taking the correct lines through corners.
>>734959121Too fast.
>>734982087>turn off abs>as long as you don't brake more than 75% your car will not lock everanyone racing on forza "competitively" needs to be shot
>>734955013Focus on realism, expensive licensing and current game development being stupidly expensive mean they play it ultra safe or rely too hard on micro transactions and the like to recoup dev costs.
>>734957474>neptranny avatarfagGlad you had a bad time.
been playing Driveclub on my hacked ps4, it's comfy

>>734982689I said "most", not "all"AMS2 is on my radar and I'll probably pick it up for their 2000s sportscar racing DLCs.What I'm on about is>the sim market being stuck on being the next great GT3 sim, as if we don't have too many of those already, completely ignoring the rest of the motorsport world, past and present>arcade racers being the domain of indies that are hyperfocused on low poly aesthetics or ONE singular aspect of an old arcade racing games, either in perpetual early access or released as an unfinished game that gets boring after half an hour>major franchises just fucking dying like NFS or becoming hollow husks like ForzaThere are only a few studios that actually stick to a concept and fully flesh it out, like Bugbear with Wreckfest (being based around american demolition derby, scandinavian folk racing and UK banger racing), the solo dev behind Grand Pro Circuit or Genki with TXR (although the newest TXR kinda has some growing pains, which I'm hoping they'll iron out in the next game), but at the very least Genki made an effort in actually visiting a variety of tuning shops to reflect the real life mods one could do to a car, whereas bigger studios like Forza are stuck recycling car models and bodykits made for the original Forza Motorsport (2005)

Was scourging through old PC Demo CDs (around late 90s), found the demo for Spirit of Speed 1937, really impressive for 1999 I think, I had completely forgotten about this game.Demo has Donnington Park and just a Mercedes Car

Any recommendations for racers that scratch the San Franciso Rush itch? I'm talking dumb music, large maps with mostly gentle turns, and moon gravity for some reason.>>734982606I still have my box for this in the attic somewhere. Only reason I picked it up back in the day was because it was the rare 3d PC racer that supported splitscreen.
>>734984461yeah it's pretty grim that you prefer the niggers and faggots of forza horizon instead of a cute game. well, i guess it's expected from trannies like yourself.

>>734990816https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRr2po9vIWoso... what the fuck is zone doing?
Is there anything recent that resembles Motorstorm?The "closest" I've played was Gravel and was decent, but the car selection and rivals' AI was underwhelming
>>734992741Still have yet to play anything that properly scratched the Motorstorm itch.
>>734992741There's nothing
>>734991753Not making any new flashes is what the fuck he's doingLazy fuck, who even plays VR cht anymore? Ins't it dead?
Rush 2049 was kino and I'm still mad Midway niggered it more than 20 years ago.
>>734991753Not getting the Daytona drift feel right is what he's not doing.
>>734993716My confusion when I got to try a Rush 2049 cabinet years after the fact, and realizing that the wings were there from the get go, but rather a console port addition.
>>734993689>>734993187>>734992741Okay how about you dicks explain what resembling Motorstorm means? That series came out 20 fucking years ago, I wasn't even bornIs it customization? Soundtrack? Drifting, what you motherfuckers. You can mean anything
>>734993739Speaking of Daytona USA, why isn't there a Decomp of the 360 port yet? All you need is a few nerds and a modded 360 with the game.
So we agree, Wipeout > F-zero?

I actually went back and got into the original F-Zero on SNES again, and oh man that game does not get enough love.
>>7349759924u (2spoopy): https://www.youtube.com/shorts/gbZ4ucfMDs0>>734979937yeah but you can trug faster>>734980035I never had it that bad and I got ~650 hours combined with ETS2/ATS, but yeah, I did recently end up lowering the spawn rate for random events or whatever because it's bullshit to have to drive an extra 100+ miles whenever it happens. If SCS had added more side roads to minimize the distance we'd have to drive when they're not on highways/interstates, it wouldn't be a problem.
I'm tired of thinking of how crap everything is.I'm not someone who envies death over the standard of modern entertainment.

>>734995167Then everything should stop being crap then.
>>734969403loli cons will save the racing genre
Anyone here remember Midtown Madness?
>>734995736I'm surprised no one's remade those skins for ATS. So far as I know three out of four of the trucks are in the base game and the last one, the cabover, has a popular enough mod for it.
>>734983505works on UG2
>>734957474Forza Horizon 6 will be bad?
>>734993795Look at the webm you responded to or look up a video showcasing the game, fucktard. Better yet, play it.>Offroad-focused arcade racing game with physics/handling done right>Multiple vehicle classes running simultaneously (motorcycles, quads/ATVs, rally cars, trucks, semis, monster trucks, etc.)>Dynamic, interactive environments with multiple paths to take>Awesome visuals>>734996897Yes, always liked Monster Truck Madness and Motocross Madness 2 more DESU. I do want to play through them all again for the nostalgia.
>>734997109That or one of the games currently being made by the 2 studios that splintered from Playground, Maverick or Lighthouse.
>>734997109It will be good.
>want to try more arcade racing games>but either suck at them, get destroyed by rubberbanding, or they're multiplayer-focusedevery time man

>>734997207yesare you indian?
>>734997230no, i don't work for playground games
>>734975017at least with sega rally they took the devs on research trips to let them drive around in actual rally cars. japan has a strong car otaku culture though and at least the devs of touge king were very much car otakus
>>734962396>How does it compare to the first one?It's shitter. Remember how everyone only ever use the big boost, now it's the main mechanic.
Where do I go if I want more like Ridge Racer
Are there any good racists video games?
>>734981610Yes, TXR does the same thing but is better thanks to its aesthetics as opposed to Need for Normalfaggotry.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P48nEUVm4khttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pbn6UMqy-echttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_lpY0c8lxY
>thing, japan unironically
>>734998019Correct. Sorry, burger racers are bland and gay, even when games were good. Even Euro racers had more panache than Amerislop.
>>734996935>Tfw no one has Twisted Metal's Darkside in ATS>Tfw no Dreadnaught from Death Race>Tfw no goblin truck or whatever from that one stupid Stephen King film I can't remember the name of at the moment where vehicles became sentient and started killing people>Tfw the Mad Max War Rig mod is outdated and shit tier qualityAt least we have the truck from Duel... although it's also visually ass unless you get the payware version.
>>734998164darkside is just a peterbilt low roof sleeper, pretty sure it's a different gen but has older headlights as an option anyway. the annoying part would be modeling all the extra window covers and shit and the crushed police car bumper, plus making a livery that looks properly dusty and corroded (which is black magic apparently since everyone just uses texture painter software for that stuff nowadays)
>>734998019Yea actually.
>>734955013Anti-racism era
>Gran Turismo>Forza>Auto Modellista>Assetto CorsaWhy the Italian names?
>>7349813282. Emulation works fine for me except for events where there are other cars on the track, then you'll notice some framerate drops. These are perfectly playable, you'll be more annoyed because the slowdowns affect the sound. Webm related.

Why is Sega Rally so much more kino than Gaytona?
post ur carfufor me, it’s sls-chan and her BIG BONNET
>>734999672Because rallies are the manliest motorsport out here.
>>734999526If I had to guess, same as any other game: one guy really likes it and has the skills to do so.
>>734998164>that one stupid Stephen King film I can't remember the name of at the moment where vehicles became sentient and started killing peopleI often wonder if he's actually a good writer, or if its just because he's willing to just throw whatever shit at the wall he can think up of.I suppose that is one form of being a good writer.
>>734999526>should I just emulate the Dreamcast emulation?No.https://youtu.be/UZhlamV3Df4?si=bTP2DORjfSMZzU6r
>>735000039A lot of the plots, at least regarding the movie adaptions, are fucking retarded. Pretty sure he just snorts a line of coke whenever he experiences writer's block.
>>734999756Too many to name and most of them pre 2000, but something recent would be the Daytona GP3, the only decent looking Ferrari in years
>>734999243What cpu and gpu? Maybe I can brute force through the slowdown
>>734959710>BallisticNG is a decade oldWhere has the time gone?

>>735000443Ryzen 5 3600 on a 9060xt, I was downsampling it from 1440p but 4K works almost as fine. I'm not sure if it's a hardware or emulation limitation.
>>734992741the rubberbanding on this game was fucking insane
>>734955013Arcade style racing games were all about the wish fulfillment of driving a cool car really fast without too much realism getting in the way.
>>734982667This describes The Crew 2 to a T.

>>734959562Pinoy GamingNot gonna lie though, that does look like fun
oochie
If your racing game requires you to break in order to make a turn, then it is a bad racing game.
>>7349927411nsanePureare better games
>>735001453fuck man i miss this game
>>735001419In a good arcade racer you are supposed to use pedals+handbrake to take turns. Go play Forza Horizon, fag.
>>734992741If you are willing to give him a chance, Trails Out is actually a great mix of Flat out and Motorstorm.
>>735001901Just played the demo, not bad, I'll probably get it next sale

F Zero GX is literally the pinnacle of racing games and the only reason other racing games are being discussed in this thread is because we have a lot of sonygers and Xcucks that haven't played it and ar coping with whatever slownigger shit they have access to.PCfags too, because Dolphin doesn't run it all that great.
Check this fan remake of Turbo Out Run.https://sk1ds.itch.io/outrun-clone
>>735004889Oops, meant to use this screenshot.

>>734955236Best way to play most wanted? PC or emulator?
>>734979738They have already showcased the devtools. They are more user-firendly now.
>>734994104The best F-Zero game (GX) is probably better than every WipEout game except 3 SE for me. Nintendo should make another F-Zero, the market seems really open for it now, Captain Falcon is easily one of the most known Nintendo figures at this point too. Sony isn't going to do anything with WipEout ever again, Daytona is dead, even MK World is a weird spot and its going to sell like hotcakes anyway. They could start working on it now and have it out in 2 years for perfect timing.Sony could realistically do the same for WipEout too but they won't. They'd probably make it into a live service like they did GT7 anyway.
>>734997634No they're all shit since racism was banned in the winter of '86. Kane and Lynch them kart is coming out soon though.
Still the undisputed king of motorbike racing.

Just looking at images of it makes you feel refreshed.
>outboosts youHow do you respond without sounding mad?
>>735006052To be honest this has been true since past like A-Spec. At this point it feels "Just a semi-realistic game where you can pretend you're actually an amateur" was more of a blip between vast oceans of far more arcade style stuff.

>>734990595Even the standard game edition, that claims it is compatible, runs without the "emulator".
>>734957474ain't no way this is true
>>735006175To be hones you never played any of those games. You don´t get gifted any supercar. The ony chance to get a supercar at the start is, either buying the deluxe edition, that usually comes with cars, or having luck on the rouletes. The only thing correct about that shitpost is that you are treated as a celebrity, wich, in fact, "you are", since you are the champion of the lasts horizon meetings. Did you notice there is no shitpost like this for the NFS oens? its because this. >>735006435
>>735006645why
>>735006498Wait you can do a somersault from the stand position? I didn't know that.These games had so many little quirks.
>>735007068Texture filtering, mostly. Also https://cookieplmonster.github.io/mods/cmr-2-0/I think there was a mod pack including more cars and maps, not sure about that.
YOU'RE THE POWER GENERATIONPUMPED UP AND READY TO WIN THE RACEDAYTONA USA
>>734996897Loved the fuck out of Midtown Madness 3, driving in PAris was the shit, especially with RATP bus to try and do Speed challenges.
>>734996897Always wanted to play it after a demo, never saw it in my stores at the time over the years. MS seems to have completely forgotten about their PC backlog at this point (rip Crimson Skies), since you think it'd be a joke for GOG to at least pressure them into releasing it.
>>734955013One problem is feature creep and game complexity. If you think of the awesome racing games that released for the N64, PS1, and Saturn no major publisher could get away with releasing something so "basic." The retarded kids these would say "what do you mean you just race? Where's the progression? What's the game loop?"Combine that with the fact that every game now needs to have hyper graphics for retards, it means that simple games without additional monetization are not viable since they don't sell enough to cover costs.To put a finer point on it, every single person who buys a nice new GPU has made gaming worse.
>>734955013Live service becoming the norm.
>>734973886I really wanted to like flatout, but it's kind of a slog.
>>735007879>every single person who buys a nice new GPU has made gaming worse.I find it's the opposite. I only bought a nice new GPU because modern gaming runs like fucking shit.> Where's the progression? I can't remember the last time this has been an issue with a racing game? Just run the tournaments, hit first, and if it's a racing game with a money system: buy all of the cars.
>>734974613The simulated scrolling really never conveyed a sense that you were driving a car. These games were effectively dodging simulators.Even mode 7 on SNES, while pretty imperfect, was significantly better than this. Racing games truly were not good until 3D, which is interesting since this really isn't true for most genres.
>>734960160Honestly the character designs don't look bad, but I know /v/ would bitch about them because they're black.
>>734956923cool as fuckcurves looking good
>>734960776>don't be shy and join us this afternoonTimezone, dumbass?
Is this any good?
>>735008089Dude the multiplayer group up happened yesterday at 4:00pm american east coast time and ended 5 hours later. You are too fucking LATE to ask that question.
>>734956923I guess the dev(s) didn't notice the image asset artifact in third person right above the helmet before they did the trailer.
>>735008717>multiplayer groupThe what?
>>735008608if you feel love for teh senpai say YEAH
>>734955013>why does X suck now?the answer is always greedlook at NFS Underground>singleplayer>split screen>LAN>later games had online as well>no microtransactions, dlc, preorder bonus or battlepass>you buy cars and mods by racing and you unlock shit by, you guessed it, racingand it cost, what, 40 bucks? 50? any publisher who tried to do that now would be fucking assassinated
>>734955013Grand Prix 4 and NT2004 were never surpassed in complete feature experience.
>>735006164>MTSes you back around the big sweeperYour turn... Actually no, every turn is mine. Keep boosting.
>>734961590The other thing is you have regenerating health so you have to be constantly edging to play well. F Zero and BallisticNG also tie boost to health, but you don't spam it because heals are rare. Overall, I much preferred the original Redout.
>>734956923>what if we made it where you couldn't see shit due to the bike display covering half of the screen
>>735008717That's why you're retarded, Amerishart.
>>735009306>Retard doesn´t watch the entire webmIt has outside view
>>735009306What is spatial awareness.
>>735009478Imagine driving in real life where the hood of your car is almost blocking the horizon line.>>735009462I'm not a cuck, I always race first person in games that allow it.
Is Riders Republic any good or just Ubi garbage?
>>735009526So what are you complaining then, retard?Do you think a fucking bike is driven while you have your head up high? No, you are as close as the chasis for maximum stability and aerodynamics.
ROLLINGGGG STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Some anon told on another thread a buch of Xbox 360 were being recompiled, including Project Gotham Racing 4 but I can't find shit about it.Besides Blue Dragon and Ninja Gaiden 2, it seems the only project out here is fucking Dance Central 3, wtf.

>>734955013Look how fun and colorful that shit looks. The blockyness also adds to the feel of the game. Goddamn, this shit just transports me straight back to my childhood. Do new racing games have this? No, they do not. And there's your answer.
>>734955013Both arcade racers and anti-gravity racers fell out of fashion. Now it's all just sim slop, and that's detrimental to the genre because 90% of people pick one game in that genre and refuse to budge.
>>735005827Moto GP3: Ultimate Racing Technology is literally superior in every way as you got the GP circuits and the new street circuits. The peak of the franchise.
>>734955013their soundtracks no longer sing about sex, drugs and rock n roll
The only new racing game I'm interested in is Screamer, and I'm not expecting it to do well regardless of critical reception.>Everybody is poor as fuck right now>Crimson Desert is releasing in the same window
>>734955013focus on "muh realism" over actually being fucking fun to play. Give me Burnout 3 over any of these retarded "simulation" racing games.
>>735012435hmmmm>>734957474>The 2026 racing game will not be a good one and marketing is almost completely a lie.
>>735012435It's not like this year is starving with racing games.
it's amazing how you can always count on burnout3fags to shit up these threads.
>>735012507>Screamer>AAA
>>735012559what other racing game comes out in 2026
>>735012246Motogp 06 is an expanded version for Xbox 360 that you can emulate with xenia. You can forget about network play with that thing though.

>>734967819That wheel setup is how I picture Ridge Racing drift handling working.
>>735012246Yes that's why nobody plays 3 and everyone plays 2 (on insignia).
>>735012694I don't see the point inf a multi-monitor racing setup if you're not going to account for the extreme FoV warping.

>>734955013no fun allowed
>>734956279I won't tell anyone
>>735004787Do you know any place I can get decent Game cube controllers for my wii? Also i'm guess i'm pirating the game since theres no way i'm buying a used copy with those prices.
>>735004787F Zero games are about to get recompiled.
>>735006162Not really a driving game but 1080 snowboarding is one of the best snowboarding games ever made.
Fuck man nothing hits as good as f-zero gx, and o I don't want to play some fucking indie slop.
>>735007645The funny thing is, the original midtown madness games were made by angel studios that later became Rockstar San Diego, Known for midnight club and the red dead games.
>>735004787>F Zero GX is literally the pinnacle of racing gamesBabby's first AG racer>Gigantic wide ass tracks that make Forza Horizon look claustrophic>Quick turn + side attack spam means you can full speed through every corner>Characters stats don't matter beyond boost thanks to both of the above
>>735014296Midtown madness 3 was made by one of DICE's dev teams sometimes before they got bought out by fucking EA.
>>735013548My dad has one of those. Still have no idea how it works.
>>734955013because they all want to be simslop/semi-simslop now and simslop is inherently not fun (the thousand+ dollars you could """invest""" in a decent """sim""" setup could go towards one (1) day at a track with a rented car (inb4 ">but anon it's 1 day!!!" better to live one day like a lion than a hundred years like a lamb) with very few exceptions (horizon 6 will probably be kino unlike 4 and 5, dakar 18 and dakar desert rally are super fun and novel)if you want to play something FUN try out the initial d games, specifically arcade stage 6 and the new one "the arcade" (if you know where to look you don't even have to pay the teknoparrot jews)
>>735014372You see, GX is the Melee of racing games. On a base level, it's not that complex, but it's so fucking broken under the sheets that the skill ceiling is infinite. You can easily go so fast that those wide-ass tracks are still not enough.
>>735014581Twist around that balljoint axis = one analog input. The other analog input is the gyro that you can enable, which was a staple feature for the Sidewinder series.
How dead is Kirby Air Riders right now? It should be a good indication of how well a new F-Zero, or any racing game, might do on a console with day 1 Mario Kart.
>>734955013the arcade design philosophy for gaming no longer exists outside of indies
>>735014815I got an error because ranked couldn't find enough players. It's already dead.
>it's already deadoopsie!
>>735001419If your racing game requires you to turn in order to make a corner, then it is a bad racing game.
>>735014772>GX is the Melee of racing gamesoverhyped to shit by trannies and not actually fun? yeah i can see the similarities f-zero x is the last good, true f-zero
>>734955013It's what I call too much "realism".Everything feels slower, trying to drift like you are delivering Tofu just makes you spin out of control 4/5 of the times unless you slow down the car to crawling speed, but somehow every cars feels slippery while also weighting like dump truck.It's "realistic" but not "fun".I miss Burnout.
>>735014172better than ssx on ps2?
>>7350153021080 is a simSSX is an arcade game
>>735012515>over jump>ever coming outlul
>>735015126Eh, both Melee and GX are at their most fun somewhere inbetween full timmy and full fox only final destination. For Melee, it's small regionals full of people who learned from youchub and play weird characters, for GX it's just enough advanced techs to beat Master cups and staff ghosts. Going full FOFD or 5 shiftboosts per second for WR respectively is overhyped, but taking a bit more from the game than was intended is genuinely fun and adds many layers of complexity already. >xis just as fucked up as GX, in a good way.
>>735015404that's fake canyon
>>735008608>>735008862I saw you can customize your dude. Can you make him look like this?
>>735017354you can choose out of like 10 people and put different clothes on them
>>735017396Is there at least a hockey mask or something? I'll buy it anyway since it's like 3 bucks.
>>735014815KARs isn't a racing game. You fuck around in a mode for 5 minutes that plays like some PS2 shovelware where you collect powerups for a minigame that usually lasts less than a minute or a single lap race.
>>735005548Don´t be naive/retard. THe modding stuff will be barebones, do you think the big brands are gonna let you put their latest model of car without them getting paid? See what happens to ACC,
you dont need a new arcade racer, there's plenty of good old ones to play. everyone who cares about racing games have moved onto sims
>>735004538Not to sound paranoid, but that looks like an AI game.. maybe its the color palete/contrast.
>>735017672You mean they moved to the genre that has been the same for 20 years?
>>735017672>racing games have moved onto simsOnly people who care about sims are extremely autistic?
>>735017672I play Assetto Corsa as my only 'sim' racer, simply due to the online/mod community keeping it fresh, but I still yearn for a new Midnight Club.
Any racing games that focus on old beaters or shitty every-day normal cars, rather than sports/exotic?
>>735017732racing games as a whole had stagnated and there's nothing to really improve on. you can partially also blame gta v>>735017740plenty of simdads out there who fucking suck ass and stuck in bottom split. as long as you can keep the car on track youre good to go, or you can just play offline
>>735017918I'd say rally games but these things have 300HP under the hood.
>>735008608It´s cracked now, you can try it before buying it
>>735017805True, "sim" or arcade, I like my racing games to be games, not just a playset to dick around in.Now if you can do both then great, but if you can only do one, do the former. Otherwise it's just aimless.>>735017938If i'm being honest, the only one I know with a sim setup is my cousin who also races and drifts actual cars in his off time.It's mostly mx-5s and a modded nissan 350z for drifting but it's still pretty cool.
>>735018104>not just a playset to dick around in.I think BeamNG is the only exception I made for it, but that's because I got tired of it getting a proper campaign mode after a full decade of waiting. Least it has those time trial challenges I guess with often-times gimmick vehicles.
>>735017938>you can partially also blame gta vTrue, The driving in GTA, is on par with most mid arcade racers, minus boost, so why bother with Midnight club.I do wonder, does anyone from R San Diego work on GTA's driving?
Anything traffic heavy that's sim? We already got plenty of that on the arcade end. Assetto Corsa has 'traffic' mods but they're basic as shit.
>>735017672Sims are nice for racing, but everyone seems to focus on boring GT classes on full slicks, and doing so on regular closed tracks. Sims would be way more fun with more car and track diversity. Gimme tight city tracks like PGR and Grid, gimme open road courses, gimme NASCAR racing around Nurburgring and Legends around makeshift shipping container tracks, all the stuff we are not allowed to have IRL.
A new step on how to make a solo cars game.
>>735019190but how will my bugatti oyveyron fit on that road
>load-up Moto GP1 for the hell of it>game sets Windows volume to 100% and blasts the room for the 2 seconds it takes me to lower it downThanks GOG.
