Why did driving games die?

>>715086421 (OP)
Autoculture died first

It's a hard genre to Fortnite-ify.

>>715086421 (OP)
This is modded Assetto Corsa right? I think I got this exact same map. I would turn on heavy rain and listen to music and just drive through it with traffic.
It got boring after a while though, I'm not a car guy IRL so maybe that's why. Anyway I think sci-fi racing games are more fun than realistic racing games.

Damn i always do the same thing in ac competizione in my free time. It's actually so relaxing after a bad day

>>715086421 (OP)
Because Assetto Corsa made all future driving games redundant forever.

Spergs playing iRacing I guess.

leftists killed cars with electric slop Teslas

>>715086421 (OP)
If I wanna drive I got Mario Kart or open world games

>>715086421 (OP)
The GT7 UI is so sexy

about the only interesting driving game coming out is my winter car

>>715086421 (OP)
Because they were always tech demonstration and we hit a plateau there. I doubt that new Gran Turismo, for example, is going to impress anyone visually. Simply because people cannot be wowed like that anymore.

>>715086421 (OP)
Too focused on hyper realism

>>715086421 (OP)
because it's 99% racing on tracks and it got boring. mario kart made the formula better and more fun with items, cool unrealistic maps, etc.
someone needs to shake up the genre and make it open world with objectives and shit. kinda like truck simulator but with cool sport cars and more objectives than just transport something from point A to B

esports

Zoomers grew up scared of driving for some reason

>>715093656
are the zoomers in the thread with us now?

>>715093740
Yes

>>715090057
GT7

Because of shit like your webm OP,
>300kmh
>looks like they're going 50kmh

>>715086421 (OP)
new cars all rook same now, nobody wants to race a crossover

>>715093656
'for some reason'?
nearly being turned into scrap by some brownoid running a red light with their turn signal on is a pretty common reason

>>715093843
Play in VR

>>715094012
brown people have always existed

>>715094087
not in europe

>>715094012
>being turned into scrap
As opposed to being turned into pink mist when encountering the same brownoid as a pedestrian?

>>715093656
blame mass immigration lmao

>>715094612
Sounds like cope to me

>>715094309
>going outside

>>715094671
justified cope, you have no idea

>>715086421 (OP)
Because the Shuto Expressway is already perfectly represented and I don't need more than that.

>>715094029
Not spending $800 on a gimmick to play games where you only need to look in one direction

>>715094778
I have no idea? I have to drive, I'm just old. It's fine, even with all the retards around you. Just pay attention and exert precautions.

>>715094867
He says as he buys new PC parts for that price to play the same games that dont look any different

>>715094912
i do, i'm a good driver, i just fucking hate it because i'm constantly forced to deal with fake license retards driving like monkeys
it's obnoxious, man
fuck immigration

>Why did driving games die?
Because no good driving game has come out in a while.

>>715086421 (OP)
Boring
Tokyo Xtreme Racer even is more boring for people who are not that much into street racing

>>715095064
Yeah a new pc is totally the same as gimmicky VR with one or two good games, Gottem

Does this count?

'cuz nobody reads Road & Track these days

I miss vehicle focused games that aren't just racing.

>>715086421 (OP)

I'm still excited for Airframe Ultra but I heard that the demo was bad. Hope the devs fix the conceptual issues the game had in it.

>>715086421 (OP)
>>715095635
real spill why are there so many car games that have their first person view as being from the hood of the car instead of being in the driver seat

>>715096138

*closed beta not demo

>>715096337
Modelling an accurate interior takes effort and autists get triggered over things being off.

>>715086421 (OP)
New cars aren't cool, they're all electric computerized grocery-getter luxury blobs pushed as better for the environment (they aren't). No one takes risks in gameplay, narrative, or setting, its all real-life motorsport, street racing, or festivals with a story written by a third worlder on fiverr. Fans are either 30+ nfs boomers or sim tryhards. Any game featuring real cars is in essence an advertisement; therefore they all get taken off the shelves after 5 years and you can't get so much as a speck of dust on them, etc etc

>>715093656
Zoomers grew up with initial D

>>715095448
Yeah its worse cause VR is a new experience while a new PC is just slightly more pixels

Racing games are deceptively hard to make, especially if you are going for a simcade feel of late 90s early 2000s games.
Big chunk of potential players interested would throw a melty if they had to play unlicensed copy cars like >>715096601 said
