How do we bring back the racing game genre?
You need a really solid software development team with Best Practice low level programming, and not fresh out of comp science zoomerfags using Rest APIs or Claude vibecoding, or it's a bust. But that's how they come now, so what is required can't be attained. It's the engineering and attention to detail of car physics and game logic that made car games great once upon a time.
>>738087396forza horizon mogs all racing games now, the devs don't even try anymore.
I still play ridge racism (psp)
>>738087396I would but I get caught up and stuck in the details of modeling my car.
>>738087396Stop making simcades trash
>>738087396and start making simcades AWESOME
>>738087396mmo racetrack extraction friendslop gacha car crafting with race royale, hero drivers voiced by tiktok twitch influencers, roguelike deckbuilding, debra wilson copilot, p2w ricing cosmetics, cross-genre collabs, replace cars with skibidi toilets on wheels
We're not that bad. Besides the autism sims, we're getting interesting stuff like Grip XR for your Rollcage on steroids request. For Gran Turismo-likes we'll have Track Day and Super Woden GP3. Grand Pro Circuit looks awesome. Maybe Quatiica Motorsports will be a cool AG racer, it's hard to tell now. There are obscure projects ongoing and you can try your luck on twitter to catch them.>>738087548>FH>RacingIt's just a lobby to hang with e-friends but your avatar is a car.

>>738087396>How do we bring back the racing game genre?Fun single player games. I don't think it's possible in the current climate. Everything has to be always-online, FOMO, microtransaction filled garbage.
>>738090129Do you have a problem with sims, bitch?
its not the video games that are dead, it's the car industry
SO YOUVE CAUGHT UPAYTRYN SHTAY WITH ME NYOOOW
>>738090129>vaporware
>>738090409Yes, they're sucking up all the oxygen in the racing games space and they all fucking play the same, go argue about the 911's grip levels at Eau Rouge & Raidillon for the millionth time faggot.>>738090640Keep believing that, the game is full of trademarked shit he doesnt have permission to use.
>>738087396you don't, the genre matured out of what you want, mainstream non genre enthusiast titles, that period is over. the relevant consumer base looks at a racing game as a specific hobby to get into, not a random game to play.
>>738091175what the fuck are you on about, the problem with racing games today is that you barely get any complete experiences to play that aren't>some indie low poly shit trying to remake a PS1 game>some indie tech demo overly focused on one aspect, forgetting that they need to make a whole game>online racing simthe death of AA studios, something middle of the road between indies (who can't develop a whole game) and AAA (doing nothing but recycling the shit of the previous game) is what basically killed the genre, a studio that has enough funding to make something different but aren't held in a rear naked choke by the shareholders>b-but consider this gameas I said you BARELY get games, there's probably something out there, but most of today's market just fucking sucks
tell Capcom to make one
>>738092967They tried once. It wasn't very good.
>>738087396I'm waiting for exorally, but mf devs are silent as FUCK manand some nigger youtubers are getting into the beta while me a good cumboy little bitch ain't getting shitbtw nfs p2000 and hp2 mog all
just have a j-pop radio station lmao
>>738087396They should make it so that if you won the cup, your car will transform and reward you with sex.
>>738093604I didn't know dragons posted on /v/
>>738093634For (You), the racer, not dragon. Unless you're some scaly retard with a dragon OC self insert.
>>738093724Damn, guess no one gets the joke anymore.
>>738093757I'm aware of that dragon fucking the car joke, anon.
banana peels and turtle shells
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QbKwftFEosCygames should just buy out this failure of a project and make car racing popular by turning it into a gacha with cars turning into waifus. imagine instead of horses running around the fields, its cars that look like this. That will revive the Racing Car vidya scene.
>>738087609
You can't fix games about cars without fixing cars. Cars are by and large boring and gay now.
>>738093360Furfags deserve to be stomped to death
>>738094316Correct, they just need to turn into this
Ban cars. Motorbike only. And require a motorbike shell system to ride. Or something that tilts a real motorbike over and around. Play with VR full FOV, and elect how much you want hits to affect motorbike. Can have it like a bull ride.Futuristic with jumps.
>>738087396Just get some arcade game, something like NFSU2/MW/Carbon or Tokyo Xtreme Racer but add paid itasha wraps of famous gacha girls, nothing else is paid, just the licensed itasha wrappers
>>738092727>>online racing simthis is what i'm on about. anyone with a real interest just wants to dive into a sim and treat it like a dad hobby.
>>738094520What else do you want? You want those bikes to follow you around, ask you hows your days, and suck your dick after on command?
All the japs who made all the kino racing games in the 90s-early 2000s have retired or are dead
>one of the best selling modern franchises on PS5Looks to still be alive and well.
>>738096658The last of old jap that work on TXR is trying to mentor a new generation with TXR 2025.
It's been 18 years since Burnout Paradise...
>>738097054I don't care about EA games. They chose to work with the devil.
>>738096658this
>>738093182it was but then for some reason they decided to botch the american release
>>738088916Are the RIDE games actually worth playing? always ignored them since they're not cars
>>738087396EV vs ICE racing games, where the people who like gas cars cry when they lose to EVs 90% of the time.
>>738087396Stop enabling racing sims fixes everything.
>>738097054its been 14 years since Burnout Paradise 2....
>>738095292Yeah, I do actually.
Screamer is a good game.
They haven't improved on racing games a lot since Rush 2
>>738091004>they're sucking up all the oxygen in the racing games space and they all fucking play the sameBased.
>>738097752Haven't played it yet because I'm poor but this song is a banger.https://youtu.be/PuAl37D9J7U?si=R-sOA0OyBk_wjede
>>738096928I tried this and it definitely "feels" like an oldschool racing game but it's a bit dull doing nothing but driving in a straightline against braindead AI
>>738097972the entire soundtrack is pretty good
>>738097752I hate the fake anime (yes I know its drawn by japanese but the style is fucked) in it
>>738098369>but the style is fucked100% on point. It looks like those extremely budget anime art done by online literal whos like deviant art, almost like if it was done by a westerner. Quite off putting imo and doesn't blend well.>ynr deviantart
>>738087396First we gotta do something about the journos who had out high scores to cinematic, 3rd person walkie-talkies with RPG elements like the one Sony makes. The bias of the journos for that braindead genre has caused devs to move away from other genres that aren't guaranteed high scores.
>>738087396>How do we bring back the racing game genre?Racing games never left. This place and the rest of the shit racing game hivemind community is just salty that Gran Turismo is boring shit and that their PS2 era NFS games still havent been remastered.
>>738098781Has a single one of those made more money than pic related?
>>738098892the only good VR game
>>738098937shame the campaign is dogshit
>>738087396It's coming back.
>>738098892Graphics slop AAA isn't interested in good racing gameplay.
thoughts?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8STN6ln9o2Q
>>738099953>Star Wars Episode I Racer>But made by the old Burnout devsIf this doesn't hit for me, I think I'm done with this semen slurping genre. Until F-Zero gets revived.
>>738100739>indie pixel
>>738100880Didn't "old Burnout devs" already fail at their spiritual succesor?
>>738087396Just play automobilista 2
>>738100978They've failed twice if i remember correctly
The main problem with indies games is I don't like them because they lack licenses and made-up cars are lame
>>738087396You can't really. What else can you do with it.It was absolutely perfected in the 90s/00s.
>>738097413tt isle of man is more interesting imo and gp bikes has better physics
>>738094348furry site
>>738087548zoomer retard hasn't played a good racing game
ask me anything about racing games
>>738088916Not a single game on this list has personalityEvery modern racing game look like forzaslop
>>738097357No they tried twice, it also wasn't very good.
Modern racing is just boring sim racer trash. I've had more fun playing Top Gear 1 and 2 on the SNES and NFS 3 for christ sake. The last good racing game were Wipeout for sci-fi arcade racing, and Burnout 3.
bring back landscape scrollers, god dammit
