What's your favorite racing game?

Race Driver GRID

>>713752469
I miss the boatley continental GT hype era

>>713752538
At least there's the BIG M8 now.

>>713752345
The AI is too primitive, although I like what they were trying to go for.

GRID Autosport is probably the opposite end (the AI is actually pretty ruthless but the game itself isn't as interesting as GRID).

>>713752345
the most overrated racing game of all time. fuck you

Burnout 3 or Mario Kart Wii

Racing games are arguably the genre that has declined the most in the past 10-15 years

>>713753690
IT'S NOT FUCKING HARD TO MAKE A COMPETENT RACING GAME. THE OBJECTIVE IS VERY SIMPLE.

>>713752071 (OP)

but if anything goes, F-Zero X

>>713753437
I mean I like newer racing games like ballisticng but all the best ones released 20 years ago. The genre is pretty much dead.

>>713752071 (OP)
Probably Trackmania. I don't think I played any other racing game as much.

>>713753437
No shit, what, you thought Unbound and Heat were good?

>>713754384
Well I like NFS Rivals and Payback.

You people thought the Rush series was shit so fuck yourselves.

For me, it's Gran Turismo 2. The comfiest CaRPG.

any fun new indie racist games? i tried new star gp or whatever recently and it was pretty fun. same for parking garage rally or w/e it's called. #drive rally isn't that great. old school rally is decent and so is victory heat rally.

>>713755302
does Tokyo Xtreme Racer count?

>>713752071 (OP)
Midnight Club 3

>>713752071 (OP)
Either your pic or GX

>>713756343
yeah, probably. i played a little of that one, too. i'm just mindlessly acquiring car games i guess and wondering if i missed anything particularly neat.

>>713752071 (OP)

Assetto Corsa but the AI is kinda shit and I don't do a lot of racing in it, more just cruising and drifting so it probably doesn't count. For arcade, it's NFSU2 and Fartza Horizon 4.

What the shit

>>713763673
yeah, not really a hard game compared to other grav racers, but still brilliant

>>713761365
HP2010 looks nice and the sound design is A+, but I found it a pretty frustrating experience overall. The rubberbanding is horrendous and I didn't really like how it basically forces you to near flawlessly drift through every corner. I also wasn't a fan of the unlock system where you'll still be unlocking cars a tier behind where your next missions are, so if you're just trying to bang them out and complete them you'll probably be stuck in the same cars for a while if the mission doesn't force you into a specific one. The car selection isn't too great in higher tiers either as you'll mostly be driving Porsches and Lamborghinis, especially if you're playing the Remaster.

>>713752071 (OP)
Burnout revenge for the ps2, been playing Sega Rally Championship recently.

Project Gotham Racing was phenomenal.
Driveclub was the most fun I've ever had with a racing game. The physics and atmosphere were peak.
Kirby Air Ride is closest to my heart.
Dirt 3 and Rally are the perfect package.

It feels good to be a racing fan. Gotta go fast!

Playing NFS Underground for the first time in years. I forgot how weird the progression is in this game. It takes fucking forever to unlock shit and then you get useless things like vinyls when what you really want is upgrades. Oh, and drag races are easily the absolute worst event and I hate doing them.

>>713763673
this is my experience as well. even had an early joystick. came to gamepass and beat the whole thing in two sittings.

>>713763673
same for me

not sure where you played it, but i had it on n64 as a kid
i replayed it on n64 much later and still had atleast some struggles
mainly. it had absurdly low framerate in sections
and if your analog stick was worn down it made it a lot harder to reliably charge up your boost by pressing forward as it would stop registering or have weird deadzones

What's a good simcade for learning to use a racing wheel on?

I've never played any of these games that much but apparently there's an extremely competitive scene

>>713752071 (OP)
Played racing lagoon for the first time a few months back and was really suprised by how much I loved it. Collecting parts from every car you beat was a lot of fun and I’ve always been in love with the 90s Japanese street race aesthetic.

this thread is full of racists

>>713753437
every fucking racing game thread is full of those fags who played some casual racing game on whatever console they had and then bitch about modern racing games being too simmy. they just want to "have fun" - which means hit the gas and win against braindead AI

anyways, here's my favorite multiplayer racing game atm

>>713752345
>>713752637
GRID had everything to be the perfect simcade but the AI is downright retarded. It's nearly impossible to have a proper race in some tracks because they just keep crashing into each other 5 seconds after the race starts

>>713752071 (OP)
Not sure if it even counts as a racing game but I sunk so many hours into this shitty arcade game back in the day. This and the Tekken 5 cabinet were what I usually rotated at my local arcade.

>>713752345
fpbp

recently played a bit of BalliscNG
i appreciate the many settings for stuff like camera and visual effects to tweak and turn on or off

but I find I just don't really like how most tracks are always the same super narrow width wich gives less room for error with the icy physics and doesn't let you really decide what racingline to carve if that makes sense
I still enjoy f-zero games more

also the mariokart type items are more distracting than fun imo

anyone got any other recommendations? I already played redout and sadly my pc couldnt run redout 2 well enough

I don't have a Switch 2 so Fusion is out of the question, but I have been tempted to get back into Fast RMX. I got it back when I first got my Switch and played a little bit of it, but I got discouraged pretty quickly when I was doing really poorly even on the lowest class. I feel like I gave up on it too quickly and I could probably do better if I sat down and gave it a chance.

>>713769346
in my limited AG experience they aren't very easy

>>713752071 (OP)
Never really been too much of a raceist. Not sure why. I have had fun with these games but they seem too normie fuel for my liking perhaps. Wouldn't even really know where to start besides playing NFS games and the more nerdy sci-fi driven games or maybe the kart racers.

>>713753690
Why is this the case? This is very strange.
>>713753743
This kek

For me? Its gotta be the rocket car with red paint.

>>713772420
Same. But I recently picked up Midnight Club 2 (that's like my first racist game since CTR on PS) and it's pretty good.

>>713773194
Now that I think about it I think the game is Motor Storm for PS3. It was a launch title. That one seems fun. I also played a lot of racing games of all types way back during the PS1 and PS2 era including a bit of Gran Turismo. Not sure when this genre seemed to decline as some anons have said but it always seemed to me EA was largely carrying it with the NFS series. And if Forza and GT ever also declined which considering Sony and MS currently I can easily see this being the case, then I can see why the genre as a whole had a massive decline as some are saying.

anons i have some very controversial to say...
i think Underground 2 sucks ass

This is the only burnout game i've beaten, and it's sad because it has the worst soundtrack. 3 and revenge have those crash/demolition events where you have to commit terrorism and rack up as much damage as you can, which i hate. Dominator literally is just racing and crashing cars.

I tried i really tried looking for games similar to it but they all don't have that degree of control and difficulty. I mean, Tokyo extreme racer is close but that game looks too easy and boring since most races are on straight roads with wins decided by car upgrades rather than "extreme" racing

I don't know if I have a favorite, but the ones I come back to most are Burnout 2 and Rush 2049 (N64 version). Though recently I've been playing a lot of Ridge Racer 4.
If it's a futuristic racer then usually F zero X.

fucking insane that 5 just keeps getting paid car packs that aren't even included in the $100 ultimate edition after the two worst expansions in the entire series, on top of already having the worst map and """story"""
tbqh Horizon as a subseries has been more or less on a steady decline since peaking with 2

Think someone could mod them to be less aggressive? IIRC it was pretty much sold with the driver personality aspect but the problem was that aggressive drivers (especially teammates) are retard aggressive. Instantly more playable when there are no aggressive drivers on the grid

we now have an entire generation that grew up on this garbage, being obnoxiously nostalgic about it and wanting the all new games to be like it

How is the new F1 game? I've noticed there's been this really big push for F1 this year what with that new Brad Pitt movie and both Lego and Hot Wheels doing a lot of F1 cars. Feels like they're trying really hard to ignite interest in it, especially in the US where people have historically preferred stock cars/NASCAR.

>>713789801
I grew up on Gran Turismo 2 and NFS 2 and still think GRID 1 was the shit

I just drove a car today and it was really awkward having your foot on the clutch always (like when braking you have to hold the clutch down) and I'm wondering how the fuck do you do in split second situations where you gotta break in an instant?

>>713790596
But that's what you do during a Gefahrenbremsung.

>>713790426
Are you retarded? Even when driving an automatic you're supposed to only use 1 foot, having your other foot on the clutch changes literally nothing

>>713790970
>>713791373
nvm i got it confused
yeah ignore

>>713790426
There is a good time frame where you can brake without pushing in the clutch. Typically if your RPMs fall under 1k then you should probably push in your clutch, but ultimately it depends on your car.

I loved this game as a child and recently replayed it on my SC64 and i still love it. Great soundtrack, cool tracks, cars go boom. Autism is timeless guys.

>>713791734
The announcer is kino, but i still don't understand one of his lines. something something tony baldano??? lmao

I still play F-Zero 99 even though it's like 90% bots nowadays. They just recently added colors and skins for the BS machines and I finally got my first 1st place win the other day. I'm sure some people would say it doesn't really count though.

>>713791340
If you downshift you brake faster, but you have to know what you're doing, if you dump the clutch you'll unsettle the car and die
Just holding the clutch is for noobs

what do you people mean "holding the clutch', do you literally depress the clutch and hold it there for more than a second?
what the fuck

>>713774771
pure kino

Rage racer.

>>713768284
Half of what makes a racing game good is the presentation, visuals, music, sound effects etc. Who gives a shit if the driving feels good if your game is sterile trash.

>>713774771
The 2 is rubbish compared to the 1, it's painful to even compare them. Generally 1 is truly a rare case of a perfect game. The physics of those little cars, the way they behave on the track, all of that was lost in Generally 2, even after several updates.

Fuck iRacing. Over rated trash. GT7 is superior in every single feasible way.

Does anyone here play Forza Horizon 5?
I wanted to know how to deal with ABS off on the controller. It doesn't seem very intuitive to me. I sometimes lock up the wheels even when braking at very high speeds, which would never happen if I were in a simulator using pedals. I can't get used to that shit, so I'm getting terrible times...

>>713796752
On the same token I feel like calling a racing game shit if you're not willing to spend a little time understanding its handling characteristics is an uninformed take.

>>713790426
weren't you supposed to brake first then clutch? t. want to learn car but cannot afford one

>>713796752
Even if it played a screamer at you every 5 seconds? What the fuck are you talking about. Do you understand games at all?

>>713752637
>>713768465
???
What the fuck are you two on about? The AI is literally one of the best parts of GRID1. They're aggressive but they acknowledge and respect your track position, they take good lines but they don't always get it right, they fight for position not just against you but between themselves. It's dynamic as fuck and makes every race feel exciting

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBisrN0gOQY

Unlike in most track racing games like Gran Turismo where the AI is stilted as fuck and just drives on rails, racing in GRID genuinely feels like you're going up against other players, it's fucking amazing

>>713797048
SPEAKING OF SCREAMER.

>anime aesthetic, trannies, etc.

Don't announce AA games two years before release, goddammit.

>>713796981
I suppose this is something that much easier to figure out in practice. As another anon has mentioned you're supposed to push in the clutch when it gets below 1k RPM's, but when you have to brake suddenly it all happens so fast and the timing is tight. It might appear that you're braking and pushing in the clutch at the sime time, but yeah braking should come first. You need engine braking to help you and you can also unsettle the car if you put it in neutral suddenly.

>>713797057
They hadn't mastered "imperfect" AI at the time. They made a big deal about making the game responsive to racing psychology and mind games allowing you to disrupt AI racers by breathing down their neck but in practice it's too arbitrary and tends to clearly have "time to screw up" moments rather than responsive AI that looks like you made it fuck up.

>>713796891
That pic you posted is 100% Forza Horizon 5, and the explanation is simple: it was written by marketing teams who want to sell items within the game. It all sounds so corporate and artificial because that's exactly what it is, just a marketing team supported by a few psychologists trying to write something that will increase sales in that pseudo-scientific way that corporations love so much.

I need to get over it and just accept I'm going to have to start Project CARS 3 over. Trying to sync my saves between my different PCs isn't working.

>>713797627
I tried playing two of these Forza Horizon games and dropped them soon after starting because of that shit, so now I'm just never buying another one. Good job, marketing team.

>>713797817
Doesn't it store save files locally? If that's the case you should be able to just copy and paste.

Completely wrong, even within cars of the same class you can feel the difference in handling
>>can't even give them any orders
You're the driver, not the team manager, fucking tard. The teammate aspect is still fucking amazing and done better than in any other racing game
>>enemy AI that can't race for shit,
Literally the most competent AI to be put into a racing game to this day, suck my fucking cock
>>retarded driving assists that you have to keep on because keeping them off doesn't work like it does IRL
NOOOOO WHY DOESN'T THIS ARCADE GAME WORK EXACTLY LIKE IRL?? Keep them on if you suck that fucking bad lol
>>no track limits which even dev realised was a huge problem and put barriers into last two le mans chicanes, so players wouldn't simply ignore the turns
Non issue, going into the grass makes you slow as fuck
>>>goes out of its way to make things cinematic with AI constantly spinning out, crashing, and game robbing you of control as soon as you touch barriers, opponents or your wheels slip of out track
AI crashing is hardly constant and even when they do spin out they can recover from it. The rest of this; what the fuck are you talking about? Are mad that you can't pit maneuver cars with zero effort? Lmao

TL;DR you are fucking retarded, GRID rocks

>>713797917
It is but I don't know what happened that causes Steam to try to synchronize incorrect files and it just resets my progress. I've tried different things to keep them synced and I'm over it. I like the game enough to try to play through it but my progress is becoming untenable to preserve unless I only ever play it on one PC.

My radio, my rules.

>>713797057
>>713797293
It probably does what motorstorm does in that it goes through a bunch of scripts when they'rein front of the player. The issue is that it felt more natural for motorstorm due to the nature of the game. Here it sometimes feels arbitrary depending on the track and car class used.

Things like tyre blowouts are obviously randomly scripted, but when they spin out they can actually recover from it, it's not an instant lose condition, see the vid here https://youtu.be/eBisrN0gOQY?feature=shared&t=262 (at 4:22)

I'm one of the few that also likes Project Cars 3, but I've basically not touched the campaign cause it seems so fucking grindy lol. I just enjoy doing quick races. Quick play mode has all the cars and tracks unlocked and has all the customization options you'd want for weather, time of day, number of AI rivals, etc. anyway

>>713790593
Skoda Felicia was my main in this game.

>>713803387
During the pre-release promotions of dirt 2, the devs admitted they were heavily influenced by NFS prostreet's festival presentation.

>>713798369
A shame that it will 100% have the exact same fate as The Crew.

There is, it's a game that naturally caters to speedrunners so not only will people spend from tens of hours up to thousands (!) on a single track to shave thousenths of seconds (which is a little buggy because of how the game is programmed), they'll try to pull off 1 in a 100 chance shortcuts just to save on time.

>>713804149
Honestly it was less apparent in 3, it's mainly the gymkhana events that had it. Now dirt showdown bought that back but it was more in the derby/car combat arena style with all the rock and metal music that game had.

>this post was brought to you by the pit-lane mine gang

I wish so badly for a game that plays like sim racing but has fantasy tracks, I want it to play like asseto corsa with hpattern/wheel/clutch but I want to play motorstorm or trackmania tracks.

>>713813946
aieeeeeeeeeeee

>>713814217
so download Motorstorm or Trackmania tracks? What's the issue?

>>713815565
Arcade games are for low IQ shitters.

>>713814217
Considering the AC's moddign scene, there's bound to be community created tracks like that.

I'll ask here since I don't know where the fuck else to ask. One day for seemingly no reason my controller stopped working with underground 1, and only this game. The controller in the options shows up as second keyboard and it's impossible to bind any keys on my pad. I have the widescreen patch applied so it should just work with any xinput pad.
Does anyone have a clue wtf is going on? The pad is 8bitdo 2C, it's just recognized as a generic xinput pad and it worked before no problem but one day it just fucked itself and I can't find any answers.

>>713815852
Assetto Corsa is an arcade game?

>>713803783
I did play this. It's alright, liked some of the music tracks.

>>713775652
redpill me on BeamNG anon pls what's there to do singleplayer

one of my fave arcade non-open world racist games in years, lacks track variety but its really really decent

>>713816129
not sure if it'll help, but you could try adding it to steam as a non-steam game and letting steam input hook into it, werks for me sometimes with older games

>>713816527
You can drive cars around, it's pretty cool

>>713797964
>Non issue, going into the grass makes you slow as fuck
there's no grass in the way of you cutting these chicanes, hence the barriers. at least get to know the shitshow you're defending so aggressively

anyone play old school rally? if so what do you think of it?
i like it a lot, the driving itself feels really good and the stages are pretty, the "repair time" during events feels kind of pointless in its current state though, unless you're bing bang bonging all over the place every single track you're always gonna be able to fully repair whenever possible

>>713816527
Still waiting for AI racing, but there's a lot of time trials and you can sort of setup chases. My most time spent in the game is fucking around with other people in the multiplayer mod, but once AI racing is added I will be all over it. BeamNG is one of the best driving games, it's very overlooked simply because some core features like bots are not implemented yet. Some might be turned off by visuals, but this is the price to be paid for the soft body physics.

>>713816593
I didn't consider that but tried it and it doesn't seem like the game recognizes steam input at all.

>>713817497
fug, no clue then, all i can recommend is backing up your save file and just reinstalling the game + fixes

>>713803815
Fucking lmaoooo

>want to replay a forza horizon
>FH4 has a bug that requires a full reinstall of Windows
>FH5 install size is almost 200GB of pure bloat

>>713817497
oh, also check to make sure the game is actually using steam input, you may have it disabled by default
im not an expert but it should hook into it and make your 8bitdo act like a 360 pad, which the widescreenfix should allow the game to pick up

>>713752071 (OP)
I loved this
fantastic online once it was finally fixed, really good VR mode and the lobbies held some amazing races

>>713818174
I think it's enabled.

>>713818616

So far it's Outrun2006, but I've only really truly gotten into racing games in the past few years.

>>713818896
Welp thanks for trying to help me anyway.

>>713753656
I'm playing Burnout 3 right now, for me it's ATV Offroad Fury.

Many people are saying this. It's the pursuit of realism in everything coming out lately imo

>>713815565
the only motorstorm tracks I have seen were for beamng and they didn't really play well and I haven't checked on asseto corsa's modded tracks idk if there's anything like that.

>>713752071 (OP)
how do I get over my fear of driving? Driving in traffic or in a highway scares the shit out of me

>>713817173
I was interested in it, not a fan of how they handled the art direction. It looks worse visually than the old games that inspired it.
Also a personal grievance of mine are fake real cars. If the game has fake cars I prefer if they make up their own models instead of lazily recreating real ones and only change the names

>>713752071 (OP)
Mario Kart World, or really, ANY Mario Kart game. Racing doesn't get better than that to be honest.

>>713820546
I think that's fairly normal? Because I used to be scared too when I got my license, now I don't give a shit, just give it time

>>713816129
I don't know if it will help but try "The 8BitDo Ultimate 2C controller supports both XInput and DirectInput modes. To switch between them, power off the controller and then press and hold [X+home] or [B+home]. This will save the selected mode. The controller also supports 2.4g wireless and USB connections, with the 2.4g receiver defaulting to XInput mode on Windows"
It's a old game so it probably needs to be in direct input. You can test it on https://hardwaretester.com/gamepad to see if it is.

>>713752071 (OP)
beamng drive, online

>>713820546

>>713816527
I personally prefer playing career online while shooting the shit with friends.

>>713820935

>>713811607
A recompil could be fine.

>>713819941
I have a friend who's a big racing sim guy, like he's got a full racing rig and everything, he swears by Assetto Corsa being one of the best racing games out right now. I think the game's modding community is pretty big so it's worth checking out.

>>713820546
replace your fear with anger. anger that you share the road with countless other retards who should not be allowed to exist, let alone have a loicense and operating a 2 ton slab of metal

>>713820546
Stop being a pussy, if it helps, go out of town and get used to speeding on the backroads. Growing up in a small town people would see how fast they could get their vehicles going before it got scary so by the time we were graduating nobody really thought twice about normal highway speeds. One kid died though.
>>713820763
Being nervous at first is normal but avoiding the highway and high traffic areas because they make you nervous isn't, that's neurotic behavior.

I tried JDM and I didn't like it so I guess I'm back to waiting for Wreckfest 2 and Tokyo Xtreme Racer

It's the opposite. It means you don't understand how dangerous cars are if you aren't nervous and should take the bus.

>>713822215

>>713820785
I don't even know what's going on anymore, that website you linked always shows my pad as a xinput device. However windows appears to recognize my pad as three different pads and using PCSX2 to check xinput/dinput it looks like they're both enabled at the same time? How's that even possible?
Is this pad fucked and should I just return it? But it works in all other emulators and games I tried it on so I'm just confused as hell.

>some anons posting my racist screenshots
feels good man

>>713813460
Fuck this shouldn't have made me laugh as hard as it did

Racist... What else?

>>713823140
Do you have another controller connected? If yes, try disconnect it to see if it works.
Try the button combinations I posted, it's how you enable xinput or directinput. Some old games only recognize directinput controllers.

>>713799939
shame about the newest one

>>713823140
Man I was having a bunch of issues with PCSX2 and my controller yesterday, what worked for me was going into the PCSX2 settings, enabling Dinput and disabling everything else, making sure my pad was set to Dinput and there are also some games that don't work right when I hit the "mode" button which I still don't fully understand the purpose of because the xinput/dinput switch is on the back
Exiting steam might help too if you have it open. This is similar to what was happening to me.

>>713824342
Sorry I meant Xinput, not Dinput, but I think it's the other settings that cause it so the inverse probably works too

I wanna say race driver grid but gt7 gotta be the best racing game I’ve played .
I was messing around with a r32 yesterday for some reason the steering went shit , just too realise because I spaced the wheels out & lowered it too much the tyres get stuck on the fender and don’t fully turn .
