Still to this day the only racing game to also be a proper video game, with an adventure mode, bosses and having substantial single player content.

>>743739778Not him, but I like that it's one of the only 2 games that I know of (the other being the 2006 F&F Tokyo Drift game by Eutechnyx) that have the Veilside Fortune kit for the RX-7. I don't understand why most games never bothered to license that kit. I've always liked it, since its appearance in that movie.
yes I know >wiiiiide I was just testing the game out after installation to see if it actually worked
>>743739778NTA but 2 actually has a lot going for it, all of which get fucking murdered by atrocious physics. It's a very different game from 1, more arcadey while 1 is more like a little Gran Turismo with a street racing skin.

Are racing games a boomer genre now?Young people don't seem to care about cars, and manufacturers don't seem to be making cars worth caring about.
>>743741609PGR4 was the fucking shit. That was my favorite arcade racer next to the Underground games. It was literally a bunch of carbros who just added cool shit into the game and nothing else. Forza eventually overtook it because "muh sim racers" meme.
>>743741620>Forza Motorsport 4.i've got a slim 360 collecting dust next to me, should I pick up a copy from ebay?
>>743742001Why not? It's peak Forza to me, and it will give you at least 100 hours of content.
>>743742001Forza Motorsport 4 is the best one. Had the most amount of content by far and was made by the most competent T10 team. After 4, they let a bunch of guys go and we ended up getting 5 which fucked up a lot of the engine sounds. After FM4, there's FM3 and FM7 are also worth playing (if you want something more recent). That's FM7, not the latest Forza (FM8) which has a stupid leveling up system for cars before you can even mod them.
>>743730856poogeot lmao
What's your least favorite race? What race shouldn't exist?
>>743741951Always was which is why all the classics that defined the genre are about driving sports and super cars.

>>743742147Buggy races.Buggies are fun as fuck irl but in games they're always underpowered tin cans that roll over at the slightest corners.

>>743741951Dads of racing
>>743730856fookin' 'ell
>>743741951>>743742251They weren't always a boomer genre considering how the racing games of the 2000s focused on the contemporaneous ricing scene and a good chunk of the people that got into the genre got into it around this time, but they are now since no one young has the money to do that anymore and if they do, they're focusing on trying to buy a house and survive, not live out the life of an undercover cop in an illegal racing circuit.
>>743730856Just beat Need for Speed The Run for Xbox 360I liked the story mode, it's at least different from any other racing game I've played. Major lack of non-story single player content though as the game lacks multi lap races completely.The bigger issue is that the game doesn't work if your Xbox 360 is hooked up to the internet. The game has the usual NFS Autolog online stuff, and if your Xbox is connected to the internet then it's gonna try to automatically connect to the servers but the servers got shutdown and there's no timeout so it'll just stay on "Connecting to Autolog" till the end of time. And it's not enough to unplug your internet just once, as it tries to reconnect at the end of every race.It's not that much of an issue on 360 where it works just fine offline, but damn shit like this is gonna make some games completely unplayable once consoles and PCs start requiring a permanent internet connection.
>>743730856wouldn't that turn the wheels 180 degrees? surely that can't be good for the car
>>743742839Have you ever driven a car?
>>743742839Just puts it into reverse m8, nothing to worry about.
>>743732213It adds soul.

>>743742746My PC version doesn't work any more since the servers shut.
>>743730856The only driving game I play is Trackmania. It's not even a racing game to me, it's just an outlet for speedrunning autism.
I just like racing games where I can do laps on street styled tracks with regular traffic and just soak in the atmosphere and do hot laps if I wish. Classic NFS is the ideal but old test drive and outrun is in the same sphere. The few good open world racing games kind of get close but lose out the cohesiveness fixed tracks offer.
>>743742001For sure. I recommend soft modding your 360 too, it's super easy to do now, you can make backups of your disk games and playing off the hard drive makes the console so much more silent
>>743742376So relaxing, man I love this game
Driving a 1978 911 turbo on street tyres in the snow, what could possibly go wrong?

i had an old renault for years. That fucker held for 500,000 km and would yell at me in french yet she would keep on running. I had to put it down otherwise I am pretty sure she would outlive me.
>>743739778I really like how cars handle, and how a lot of them feel very different to drive.I really like the drift modes, and the car customization is also nice.Admittedly I never played Juices 1...
>>743748271>Admittedly I never played Juices 1...Shit, play it anon. Juiced 1 great. The driving is a really nice mix of arcade with a touch of realism, and there are some cool mechanics like the rep system
>>743732354Paradise is good, but I have no idea if the remaster is good or not.
>>743731443>>743733048this game almost got me killed, after playing I went out driving irl and after 30 seconds realized I was driving on the wrong side like in the game, luckily there was no traffic
>>743752230then someone shouted "fuck trump" and everyone clapped
>>743751826The remaster of Paradise is alright. It changes the colors slightly but at least it doesn't totally butcher the visual style like many other remasters. The biggest problem is you have every DLC car unlocked right away, and the DLC includes stuff like OP cars and police variations of every single car you unlock in the career.
>>743731305it fills me with joy, you must be broken
what's a good game to start if you've never played a racing game and aren't sure if you should press the reverse button or brake button when doing drift turns

>>743730856bitch.
>>743752537Whats a reverse button?
>>743730856I'm doing Forza Horizon 6 and while I *LOVE* the idea of wheelspin-exclusive cars being available for purchase during the week/event period, the fact you have to shut down and restart the game to restock the showroom and luck into them is bullshit.There is LITERALLY 6 wheel spin exclusive cars for this event and there was SEVEN (7) DAYS for the event period. Why can Playground not offer ONE (1) exclusive during each day of the event period to let people have a chance to buy them without this refreshing bullshit?
>>743732213Because it makes it funnier.
>>743732213It's called attention to detail a thing the modern era keeps forgetting exist

Super Polygon Grand Prix crashed my fucking computer.And it wouldn't even work properly on my gaming laptop either (couldn't start the game because it refused to recognize any inputs).
>>743754907it has physics better than fh IMO, especially curbs can fuck you up, unlike how fh handles themthe progression is nice, the customization is amazing, you can put a 11k redline rotary into an e30 for examplegame also lets you change rims and tires quite a bit, so you can change the overall diameter of the wheelthe NPC traffic has the best AI in terms of avoid you when you go into their lane, they brake, they swervestory is AI voiceovers, there are clubs which have a dozen races and are based on different car performance classes and disciplines (race, drift, etc). Once you beat all the races in a given club you unlock elite races which are pretty hard, with the AI feeling a bit bullshit at times, but mainly because of their acceleration, especially at the start, there doesnt seem to be rubberbanding. You can do a dozen elite races and earn enough shit to buy and customize a few cars and just fuck around for some timethe OST is shit, use your own musicall the cars are about 20-30% slower than they should be, I think its because it will make the map feel small, for example a 300hp car feels as fast as my 220hp irl shitbox
>>743754701The grind is stupid even after they reduced it for the pc release.

>>743739986Wreckfest or BeamNG.
>>743741609No racing game has car's noises as lewd as PGR4. Also a perfect car roster, no wonder they stopped doing more entries in the series because they reached perfection.
>>743756624I do wonder how many anons have ever actually seen the film.
>>743741951To some extent, newer generations are the ones feeding simracing autism.>>743752537Unironically PGR4 will teach you the basics of driving. It's an arcade but you'll learn some useful things for sims.>>743756624That's Wreckfest 2? How is it shaping up?
Wreckreation 2. Hope they don't fuck it up this time.https://youtu.be/hQXOTe1CeGg
>>743758729The fact that they couldn't even come close to fixing the old game gives me no hope.
>>743757254I've seen it, but I admit, it was after I've heard the song and wanted to know what it's referring to. I was familiar with Laurie Bird, since was kind of fan of Simon and Garfunkel as a young teenager. Sad story that one.>>743757302>Wreckfest 2 shaping upUhm... it really depends. I love it. Though some things won't be to everyone's liking. It's kinda barebones. The car selection is nice. Tracks... there needs to be more for racing. Singleplayer is just custom races and challenges (all hard as fuck as of recently). Online is a mixed bag - there's servers run by simfags, who insist on clean racing and by that they mean pussy racing, where going on the inside of someone leaving a huge gap can get you banned, but there are still some comfy wrecking servers.As for handling (most important thing) - it was brilliant initially. Then they added upgrades and made stock cars feel lame. Upgrades made the cars hard to drive, but the setup menu was some random sliders and trial and error without you knowing what you are actually doing. Recent update kinda made the stock cars handle a bit better, but also introduced quick setup and proper number in advanced setups. Best part is, those arbitrary sliders in quick setup actually deliver a solid ride. Advanced setups is where the game shines IMHO, cause you can really appreciate the physics, if you know what you're doing and if you don't there's explanations for everything. Currently, I'm not even racing, just tuning rides and testing them out - it's more fun than proper racing sims.In general I'd say physics feel on the level of Forza 4, some aspects are better than top rated sims.Playing this with a wheel is probably the best out of the box experience I've had - FFB mogs most modern sims, you can adjust the FOV in cockpit view, but first person racing sucks, cause there is no radar or mirrors, so it's impossible to avoid people trying to hit you. Maybe that's why simfags have those stricks rules.
I got a month (ended up getting another one) of gamepass to play FH6I completed FH6, and I still have some time before the gamepass ends, is this worth playing?
>>743759330>>743757302>Wreckfest 2 shaping upLet me just add some things. Game desperately needs the ability for people to host their own servers or even better to just host a game and invite friends, no idea why only Automobilista 2 (Project Cars engine) has it that simple - IMHO fuck all structured online racing, private leagues was the pinnacle of simracing and it made you better and generated friends. All that sever bullshit, scheduled races, rankings bullshit is just making everything worse..Another thing that's desperately needed is some sort of career. I really hope they go for what the Super Woden games are doing or at least make progression cash based, but no news on that sadly. Don't get me wrong, custom races and challenges are ok. It's basically old school arcade racers stuff, there's just no progression. AI is pretty good. Obviously a game like that has damage, but it also has something no sim has (maybe Project Cars 2 to some extent), which is progressive damage. So you have a crash and damage your radiator, stuff starts leaking and engine starts going worse in 2 laps. Sadly, this will not end the race, as I think the engine can't die, but maybe they will add that. Also, upgrades matter not only in terms of performance, but also durability, which is really cool.
is that new sanic racing game any good?
>>743760170Talikng about Super Woden...https://store.steampowered.com/app/4516440/Super_Woden_GP_3/Problem with multiplayer is that simautists don't want it in any other way and devs will gladly cater to them (and then complain because servers has not enough players or doing the same combination until the end of days)
>>743755654like I said in >>743755374 elite races give millions in like an hour of playyou have to be good at racing tho
been having a lot of fun with carx street latelyI remember really hating the physics the last time I played but they updated them recently (which made me try the game again) and it feels much better
>mfw getting analog triggers to work using modern controllers in old dinput gamesThank god for Xinputplus though.
>>743730856I'm playing Gran Turismo 7 today then NFS Unbound.>Arcade would be Mario kart DS>Shitbox I have an outhouse but I don't have a toilet. PS5 controller then. If you meant car uhh maybe a challenger in real life, but I'm a scrub so idk all the cars in gt7 and unbound
>>743730856Creative, heres a (you)
>>743760818>>>743757302>Problem with multiplayer is that simautists don't want it in any other wayIt's not simautists really, it's simtourists. Ever since Assetto Corsa and the "nice-graphics sims" became a thing, there was an influx of rich idiots who wanted to race, but never wanted to put the work in. Then there's tubers, who know shit all about race cars and make opinions based on feel from their overpriced DD wheels. All those people know is fixed-setup racing in (((iRacing))) and want every other game to allow them to do just that. Back in the day, you'd find a forum, ask around, got invited to a server, Teamspeak, get to know people, make friends, learn the ropes and have fun. Now stuff like setup work is considered arcane knowledge, to the point where e-sports fags sell that shit and it's not even good. And people buy that! All it took then was just ask a guy. >hey, I'm struggling with this car, it sliedes too much, can you help me?>sure bro, just reduce diff preload, soften the springs and stiffen the front ARB>also, tuesday is practice night, be sure jump in and drive with us, other dudes might have some useful tipsLike, there was no need for a rating system, if you fucked up and crashed into someone, you'd say sorry and that was it, if you crashed into people deliberately, you'd get banned. And the most retarded shit is that, now we have AI, but the rating systems still punish everyone being in contact, not just he guilty ones.
Rate my setup
>>743764445Fix your position.
>>743764445Work out you lardass!
>>743764289Max damage is fucking great - it is classic carma with a HD skin and everyone fucking hated it. Turns out when you aren't be wowed by "omg 3d!!!1111one" in 1997 carmageddon was not that great to truly play.
I inject framegen into the PC versions of need for speed III and IV. Feels smoother man.
>>743764289>stiffen the front ARBHard front ARB and soft rear ARB is all you need? I've tested some in AMS2 and barely felt any difference in slippage, tyre camber helped a bit, but most of the work came aero and throttle management.
AHAHA FUCK YOU ENZO
How do I get good at tuning in Forza Horizon 6?Should I even do it? I heard that the AI just becomes stronger if you tune your car and makes the game harder than playing with stock cars.
>>743765110>Max damage is fucking greatYes it is. It doesn't hit as hard as Carma 97 back in the day though. Physics were unreal for the time and still impress today. Another great game from that year was Interstate 76 and nothing deserves a remaster more. Wait... I'm on Linux now, this shit should run just fine. Hey, thanks anon!>>743766025>Hard front ARB and soft rear ARB is all you need?It really depends. How do you want the car drive? What is the car? What is the track?AMS2 has shit default setups that make even the FWD Brazillian Stocks oversteer as fuck. Anyways, for a regular, smooth, tarmac track, you want a stable car that's controlled with the throttle. At least that's what I want. And by 'controlled with the throttle' I mean lift of oversteer, cause fuck precise tail-braking. In any case, you start with the springs - as soft as you can without scraping the floor. Then you do dampers - they control car pitch under braking and acceleration. Super important, if the car has a splitter and a diffuser. Basically the higher the value of the damper, the slower the car will react. So for example, you want slow front bump low, so the car pitches forward under braking, making use of that splitter, and likewise, slow front rebound high, so the front doesn't go up to quick when accelerating... to make use of that splitter. Whatever you do to springs, do opposite to ARBs, but keep in mind these keep you from spins, so depending on how you drive, if you have your springs and dampers good, fuck with the ARBs to control over/understeer. Diff is your traction control... Eh. there's a char limit. Just watch Austins vid, they are fun: https://www.youtube.com/@AustinOgonoski/videos
It's been almost 20 years and no wheeled racing game still comes close to the level of VIOLENCE of Pro Street's Speed mode. GRIP comes close but the tracks are too wide and powerups are impure.
>>743767238*can match Pro Street, and then Grip comes close
>>743730856ur gay
>>743730856>HURR HURR HURRRRRRRR
>>743767238>Pro Street's Speed modeAnon, that was the worst part of the game. The cars had a hard speed limit and making them even handle the tracks took dozens of hours. That said, regular grip races were peak NFS, cause Pro Street mimicked real worlds tracks, had a damage model that causes you financial damage and most importantly: AI that didn't cheat as much as in previous games, so you actually got to do some proper racing. Game is great, especially if you mod it to remove the baked in input lag - drifting actually becomes fun.
>>743738048Brayz
>>743767238Prostreet with the frame limit unlocked is sublime when doing speed challenges. Who knew that when bombing along at 200mph 30fps sucks dick? These days I get a rock solid 240fps (as that is the limit of my screen) and the desert sections feel like the ending to the movie vanishing point, minus the fiery death.
>>743741585Nah I'm used to the shit settings by now.
>>743767606PS's Grip is nice too, just in a different way. Grip is clean and rewards being smooth, Speed turns you into a madman that's perpetually between states of "just a few more km/h" and hanging on to dear life. Making them handle is half the fun, all four tracks require different cars and setups. Speed limiter is kinda ass but they made tuning overpowered, unrestricted cars go 500+ km/h and that just gets silly. It is a flawed game- free repair markers, shallow performance tuning (lel just buy level 3 everything immediately and hope for level 4 random drops) and too short of a campaign (particularly damning is the very late introduction of said Speed mode, when all the cars are already top tier) hamper the experience a bit, but it's still one of a kind. >remove baked in input lagI kinda don't mind it, actually. Real cars don't react immediately either, there's some elasticity to everything.
>>743767203Are these setup for stockcars/GT or do they work well with F1 cars?I can't really define how (shit) I drive, I tend to break quite late and sometimes miss the apex. I try controling over/understeer with the wheel rather than the pedals. I've spun most of the time with GT cars and those happen when weight quickly shifts forward during a corner. I just need the car to not spin and have as much downforce as possible without nicking end speed, I've had enough of fighting with retards tooth and nail on corners just to get passed by on straights because my car has the aero of a paper bag in the wind.
>>743754701Same. I'm doing the mountain pass clubs. Didn't really care for it before, but I'm kind of getting into touge now.Also kind of related question. How are you 'supposed' to do touge? In online lobbies I see almost everyone drift on the hair pins, yet here I've been tuning to hit them as tight as I can with max grip.
bros how do I into good vinylseverything I make looks like shit
>>743768309>do they work well with F1 cars?These are Stock/GT specific rules of thumb. It differs in Tourers quite a bit, once you know the drive is on the front, but the philosophy applies all the same. However, I can't drive F1 for shit, maybe except vintage 60's, so can't really say. The idea should be the same - keep the car low to the ground, make the shocks work for your grip and aero and set the diff to allow you to slam the throttle on corner exit and lift-off oversteer to control your angle in the corners... Yet there's more to F1 car setups overall and I don't really drive them so... Either look for specific F1 setup tutorials on youtube, or just experiment - it's fun.
>>743769202>it's funIndeed, I got into setuping cars when I got a 1989 F1 Ferrari for AC, it drove like a brick but after spending a day playing with the setup I managed to get it working quite nice, I spin like a retard at corner exits though, that never changes. I can't catch spins with the wheel to save my life.
