Do kids not like cars or racing games anymore?

>>723658573 (OP)
They like Mario Kart.

driving is scary

Not really, zoomers hate driving and nucars are sovlless

cars are too expensive now, gone are the days when you could unironically own a tuned Japanese import on a minimum wage.

>>723658820
The alternate is getting kidnap from an uber or sharing space in a public transportation around basketball players.

>>723658573 (OP)
proper racing games have too much gameplay. kids like gta 5 racing and mario kart
they had to add rewind to racing games because modern gamers can't into failure

>>723658934
$2k+ for a camry/corolla/civic too much to ask?

I miss the shitbox era

i grew up playing mostly racing games and it sucks to see that the series i knew and loved either died completely or went to shit

You already made this thread earlier today

>>723658573 (OP)
US car scene died when the last 90's Civic got wrapped around a pole. It's just zoomers driving their parents boring automatic kias and millennials debtmaxing on mopars.

How about that age group that does "swimming" or takeover?

kids like boys dressing as girls and xenomorphs dancing in fortnite

>>723659609
Saudis for sure will revive NFS and we will have game as great as NFS MW 2005. Right?

Just finished TXR. About to start NFS 2015.

>>723661357
Congrats. Did you enjoy that game?

>>723661357
it's an awesome game

>>723659115
you think people on min wage have 2k just sitting around after rent, food etc?

Small town and rural boys here are still obsessed with cars, but it’s going to die out with the EV bullshit

I would sooner own a bike then ride a bus full of {them}.

>then
Retard.

>>723662169
My small population city doesn't have public transportation, it just has homeless people walking everywhere or riding bikes in the road ignoring traffic while the police pretend they don't see it. I almost saw some dumb faggot fly out of an alley on a bike maybe 15mph without stopping and almost getting crushed by a passing dump truck.

There are people in this thread that will never get to drive a rb with an external waste gate

>>723658573 (OP)
They like them, they just dont like the new racing games

>>723658573 (OP)
these cars might as well be malaise era cars with how old they are. Who wants to race in a chevy bolt or bmw i3? I’d buy an ID Buzz racing game however

>>723658573 (OP)
Nice copy paste thread, faggot

>>723658573 (OP)
I can't wait for a racing game in 2030 when its all crossover and trucks.

>>723662297
It’s called The Idaho Stop. Bikes dont stop for u, u stop for bikes

>>723658715
This

>>723661679
fundamentally there’s nothing different about cars. their designs stagnated because of women and safety regulations

>>723659115
you aren't getting a Camry that can move under its own power for 2k in 2025 no matter how old or how many miles it has

>>723659115
>$2k
Yeah if you want a car that isn't actually drivable
a $2k car in 2012 is equivalent to a $4-5k car today.
>>723659615
At this point the used car market has had a decade to recover. The issue is a loss of buying power from low-wage earners; inflation is outpacing earnings.

>>723658573 (OP)
They can't afford them

>>723658573 (OP)
Car "culture" is dead. Died with cheap Japanese cars. Zoomers can't even afford bikes. Cager niggery is now just a poser bourgeois flex with slammed BMW rolling in with daddy's money they got from selling out the nation to Blackstone jews.

>>723658934
I don't see how that's relevant. I couldn't afford anything like that until I hit my 30s but I've been playing racing games most of my life

>>723663372
It's crazy how 50 year old cars are among the favorites in street racing games these days. I'd never imagine seeing something from the 1960s in NFS Underground

>>723664940
Ancient shit is all the current auto industry has. It's why it's called "Legacy". Don't tell me you want to see the new "supra" over the real one.

the real problem with new cars is the companies are trying to get rid of right to repair and if you buy an ev you have shit like porsche charging you hilarious money to make one a "turbo"

>>723658573 (OP)
We had this thread last morning
Zoomers are poor and scared of driving. We don't need another 500 posts.

>>723664940
Underground was a slice of the (then) current F&F/Tuner craze where everybody thought their personal shitbox was secretly a beast.
The reality is that most of those cars really are just crap or take more money/work to make fast than they're worth. The same phenomenon is still happening with the Toyota GR86. It's a ~30k car that gets mogged by 20-year-old mustangs that cost 10k.

>>723665373
>an ev
KTM does that with bikes, like with the 990RC. BMW did that with heated fucking seats lmao

>>723664940
It helps that certain media like Wangan and Initial D help kept the legend alive.

>>723664940
>40 year old underpowered shitbox with LRA
>$10k to start (probably a beat-up GTS)
It really is no wonder zoomers don't think of cars/driving as a hobby. It's retarded.

why the fuck do I have a black screen
this fucking game, I already hate it, not counting the weird ass steering

>>723658967
>sharing space in a public transportation around basketball players
that sounds lowkey sick tho? could cop an autograph and put em on my ig

Flash those beams bro.
And keep racing.

>>723664286
Stop browsing /pol/ you little bitch.
People still attend event and pay fucking cash to watch F1 or Nascar.
Not even mentionning the fucking YT/Twitch channels with million of views.

>>723658934
not only that they are also making it harder for a guy to fix or modify or interact with his own vehicle in any way by obstructing vital parts and/or having software locking you from driving your car

>>723658573 (OP)
zoomers would rather take an uber driven by a minority than drive. its sad

>>723658820
Cars pollute

so you support bikelanes, right?

>racing games are dead because the cars are unobtainable for the average guy
Did you only play racing games released between 2000 and 2005?

>>723668692
Take it to /o/ or /n/. This is a videogame thread

>>723668732
these people only mean need for speed underground but only the first few hours they replayed as a kid

>>723658573 (OP)
I blame arcade racing games going away in favor for either kart racers or simulators with zero in between

>>723658573 (OP)
Many do still like cars, the problem is today you can't get anything cool for less than 10k
The only """""affordable""""" """""sporty""""""" cars nowadays are the BRZ86, miata, wrx, and ecoboost cuckstang.
All of which are 35k just for the vehicle. Not including:
taxes
dealer (((fees)))
state minimum insurance
gas
loan interest
comprehensive insurance, because its not your car, its the bank's car.
and whatever repairs the dealer wriggles out of covering because once upon a time you drove at unsafe speeds (36 in a 35)

>>723658934
That plus there's nothing worth driving to anyway.

>>723668935
This too. Almost every new car is a cuckover that looks the same as everything else on the road.
Even the cool cars are lame now.

>>723667256
lol you got baited..
NFS 2015 is atrocious piece of garbage.
There is a game breaking bug on the pc version that was never fixed where the road just dissapears and you fall into the void, it happens completely at random in races.

>>723658820
I understand you bro and it's because I don't trust the other people driving not to be complete mouth breathers starting at social media while driving.

>>723668915
this is just incorrect.. you have never been able to get decent sports cars for less than 10k that doesent need a rebuild.

you can still quite easily find s-chassis for sub 10k just like you could 10 years ago but those require a rebuild usually

people complained about the exact the same thing back then as they do now.. the fact is, cars have always been an expensive hobby if you cant wrench and fabricate yourself

>>723658573 (OP)
Gen Z and alpha suffer of something very gay called climate anxiety, so cool cars are gay and cringe, they only like faggy electric cars.
Petrolhead culture is dead.

>>723658573 (OP)
Realistic racing games make no sense to me. Why would I play a racing game instead of GTA which has the same driving shit, but with an actual game around it?
Also cars are boring to me. Just transportation. I don't understand car culture. Seems like a scam product for rich people to spend all their money on.

>>723669724
Bullshit, this totally wrong as long as you know what you're looking for, when I bought my RX8 RX7s had only just broke 10k and the 2000s sports cars were all sub 10k no problems. The market is totally fucked now because of new car pricing niggery
t. dailying a used RX8 R3 for 8 years now without a rebuild

>>723670238
>why would I play a racing game instead of GTA
>my mindset is completely incompatible with car enthusiasm btw
And that's why you play GTA instead of racing games. Stop being autistic

>>723670449
Not him but what would be the reason why people keep trashing their RX8?

>2030+ racing games
>no sound effects because everything is electric
>music is AI slop
>no damage because car makers get their feelings hurt
Just give it up.

>>723670238
of course you wouldn’t understand car culture when you grew up in the era of cuckovers and truckolds

>>723664286
>Zoomers can't even afford bikes
a brand new 600cc will cost you somewhere between $12-15k and that's if you're too retarded for the used market so I don't understand how people think bikes are too expensive
maybe they shouldn't have let the best performance for price segment shrivel up so much and stop buying boomer adventure tourers

>>723672276
$12k is a lot cheaper than a car, but it's still a huge expense

>>723670238
What do you prefer instead?

>>723658573 (OP)
Cars contribute to a majority of America's problems. Also racing sims are boring and the only kart racer people like is Mario kart.

>>723659115
A functioning used car under 10 years old right now is easily over $10,000.

>>723659115
>2k for a 27yo vehicle

>>723658573 (OP)
Social media destroyed car culture. It is now all clout chasing niggers "flexing" and putting civilians in danger for engagement online.

>>723658573 (OP)
I never understood the skyline aesthetics. It's like buying an exotic car under the hood but it looks like a 1993 honda accord.

>>723674860
Car culture has always been about flexing and reckless endangerment.
One of the reasons I hate it.

>>723658967
This anon is haunted by bball players

>>723674860
>"flexing" and putting civilians in danger for engagement, early 2000s :O

If you're going to buy an abused car you might as well get one that isn't a bar of soap

>>723675062
sleepers are for chads, that's why you don't get it.

>>723658967
A car crash is far more likely to injure you, kill you, or lose you money than assault, murder, or theft.
Idiots outnumber criminals.

>>723675062
That's right, a perfect NPC car.

>>723658573 (OP)
Cars or car culture in general is too expensive of a hobby nowadays so most youngsters interested in it stick to watching motorsports instead of driving/playing racing games.

>>723658820
Man you kids are fucked. Getting your first car at 16 ia literally maybe the biggest milestone in most Americans lives. You finnally can just go were you want without relying on others.

>>723674860
This but with guns.

>>723675576
How many people betting on a race won't know a Skyline? An interesting sleeper would be a Prius with a skyline inside.

>>723675062
It's cool because of how unassuming it looks. Also, those 80's and early 90's boxy aesthetics are really underrated.

>>723675713
Thought that was the Toyota Corolla.

>>723676038
The ultimate NPC car is actually a truck.

>>723676069
What kind of truck?

>>723676119
Any modern truck. And he's right. It's the vehicle of choice for small dick normie idiots and basic white women.

>>723659609
come home, white man

>>723675773
Kids these days just ride around on electric scooters or bikes.
They can start riding them younger, and by the time they hit 16 they don't feel like they need a car.
The rare times they need to drive they can borrow the family car instead of the parents having to buy another one.

They also just go out a lot less because they can hang out with friends online. Wish we had that when I was a kid.

>>723672276
Bikes are cheap(er) upfront but they'll bleed you down the line more than any common shitbox out there.

>>723676069
Nah, the NPC car of choice these days is a minivan. Though trucks are invading that space more and more.

>>723658820
It is, and you have to trust others to not crash into you with their 2 ton rolling boxes.

>>723675062
Its power. Its why its little sister, Silvia, has the same vibe.

>want to emulate GT5/6 with rpcs3
>remember that these games are impossible to play with a controller(also ruins the immersion)

>>723658573 (OP)
I stopped caring about racing games when the arcade racer didn't work without me trying to use manual controls. Racing games don't emulate the experience of being in the driver's seat, with your butt on something comfortable, with the ability to tune the radio to something surprising as you pass through different counties and states. They don't give you anywhere interesting to drive and explore either.

>>723658573 (OP)
They would if we had a new NFSU every couple of years like God wants it, but it isn't happening so the culture died.

>>723675954
who said anything about betting? obviously carfags know what a skyline is now, but your average sideshow attendee/woman still has no clue unless they play video games, since skylines (GT-Rs) were never distributed here. it's common knowledge in the domain but not outside of it.

>>723658820
You immediately got mogged by anyone else who can drive unless you live in a walkable city.
GF begging for your cock?
>Yeah can you come get me?
>Will you pay for my lyft back?

Get a safe car and don't drive during school start/end you should be fine. My sister got rammed by some car going 60 in a school zone. Insane shit. She's okay too because cars are made to be safe and just wear your seatbelt.

>>723669724
I bought a LS1 Camaro for $4k in 2016.
It's probably worth ~$6-7k now, despite broken A/C and trashed paint.
>>723668935
I never thought about it but you're sort of right. Third spaces are dying off. Unless you like bars there's not a whole lot to do other than commuting.
Zoomers are taking loans on new Elantras (which are quite good economy cars) but are hardly aspirational and definitely show how they just don't care about cars and (by extension) car games.

>>723675713
the ultimate NPC car is your preferred brand of white midsize crossover in slightly above base level trim

>>723658934
Everything regarding cars has gotten so fucking expensive. I'm getting my licence at the moment and so far it has cost me a good 5k, exam next month + 2-3 more hours of practice is going to add another thousand.

>>723675773
if you're in a large metropolitan area everything is too fucking congested and driving is absolutely miserable all the time
I don't blame kids for not wanting to deal with it or finding it scary, everyone gets more neurotic by the day and it's exhausting to participate in

>>723676620
Funny how the r-tards are terrified of black people on public transportation, but somehow not bothered by black people driving cars.

>>723658573 (OP)
They are all boring for me except Dirt Rally 2. And that one is only because I liked playing Colin McRae Rally when I was a kid.

>>723659959
>only hip hop and rap on the soundtrack
Listen man, if a racing game doesn't have Disturbed, BfmV, and Celldweller, it's shit, simple as.

>>723677137
>black people driving cars
that's just your average beat to shit Altima screaming down the highway

>>723676742
All gran turismo games play just fine with a controller, they play better with a wheel but it's never needed.
If you think you need a wheel that's 100% a skill issue.

>>723676620
Other idiots generally aren't a problem if you have the amount of awareness that should be mandatory for any road user.
tldr; skill issue

>minivan
>NPC
Lol I can tell youre a butthurt truck driver. Dude Trucks are the ultimate NPC shit. Majority of people will never even use the bed for large items and theyre a pain for both the driver and others on the road. Fucking no one but nursing homes or eldery drive minivans. Youd be better off saying Sedans and youd still be wrong.

>>723677137
You can see them coming a long ways away. They love Nissans; once upon a time Nissan dealers were the only ones that would extend credit to niggers.

>>723675773
Driving is only worth it for traveling from city to city, everything else is fucking cancer.
>Big city
Everything is congested, a million roads, no parking space also everyone is streesed while driving so they suck ass at it, too much noise, traffick jams...
>Small city
Scooter or bycicle are just the better option here
Gas is expesive, insurance is a scam half the time, cars nowadays are fragile as fuck and parts are expensive too.
Like the the only advantage of having a car is if you have to go to work or for having something to pick girls with. Not worth it at all imo

>>723677729
With a car, you can go anywhere.

>>723677729
once you get used to heavy traffic, it won't bother you. all the stress from diriving comes from lack of experience

>>723658820
>cars nowadays are fragile as fuck
Not if you get a honda or a toyota. Legitimately on boomers will tell you get any other brand. Like my Dad was a carfuck and he swore up and down on american brands like a religion and acted like repairs were something that were a constant issue for cars.

Cars are worth it as well besides what you mentioned because of AC/Heating. Like do you really wanna be that guy going out to McDonalds late at night on a scooter or someshit when its 60 degrees? I wouldnt.

>>723678742
I actively avoid american car after fixing my sis's mustang for the 10th time

>>723658820
Everyone sane thinks this when they start driving. If they don't they are foolish.
After a while anything will feel routine and the fear will go away. If you had to skydive to get to work, after a few weeks you'd be yawning and checking your phone while doing it
