People always ask me "Why do you only cover old racing games?" This. This is why. Now I can simply link this video instead of giving a lengthy answer each time. Thank you!
A little foot note from my side in regards to the lack of creativity. I've received so many comments from people saying they look more forward to the Pepega Mod my team and I are building for ProStreet than the other upcoming racing games. For a while I pondered as to why a silly mod for a 15 year old game gets people more excited. I think it's because the genre is so drained of any creative, let alone daring ideas, that even a meme mod is a breath of fresh air for people. It's something I'm very grateful for and I hope it delivers when we are finally done.
Once idea of my own for a Gran Turismo inspired Simcade Racer is one with horror elements that intensify the closer the racer gets to death and/or injury. Going fast makes music go faster, with the wind seeming to beat on pace with the music. If you get into a crash, the racer's life vividly flashes before their eyes before they regain consciousness and determine what to do next from continuing to drive, pitting, or waiting for a hospital (where the rest of the championship can be viewed, slow horror music playing based on the racer's recovery which also determines changes to the racer following the crash and whether or not they're fit enough to continue racing). Pre-race menus could go over things in a straightforward way, like driving a Ferrari on the Nürburgring with a Light Shower. Every moment of the race is a possibility for terror, with every painful experience being communicated with sound and visuals so that the player knows to dread possible injuries. AI Drivers will do the same thing (most of the time anyway). Surviving a race will always be good enough, getting a trophy an achievement, and winning a true victory. Retiring a racer willingly in menus would be a way to make that racer's progress permanent. But if they're killed or too badly injured all of that progress will be a memory left to collect dust in a company basement.
It’s been a while since I’ve laughed this much watching a video on YouTube. Thank you. Title is absolutely perfect. I too love racing games but man do they suck sometimes. Lol
5:26 whats the name of this track?
man, a cell shade mode i would love. I suggested it somewhere i thin AC and it would be awesome, imo
Rocket League
(?)
when i think of the last great racing games i have games like gran turismo 5, dirt 1, and grid 1 stuck in my head. those were the days i miss so much.
The last racing game that had no caveats was Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition. Truly the last "all time" racing game.
initial d mountain vengeance is still the best racing game of all time.
yes OH MY GOD IVE ALSO BEEN DREAMING OF A DYSTOPIAN RACING GAME WITH REAL LIFE CARS
two words "dirt rally"
Microtransactions is a mistake.
I miss Motorstorm so much, I've never had such a heart pounding and raw racing experience in a racing game, especially in a package released in 2006 that still looks like it could be a modern AAA game on its minimum settings. And, on top of everything, there was no DLC, there was no endless amounts of grinding, just you and your friends on a track, with a banger soundtrack, in/on anything ranging from big rigs to dirt bikes, and everyone had a fair shot at winning.
You know… there is Mario Kart 8…
I've realized why I stopped playing racing games now that I couldn't put my finger on before. All the games nowadays are exactly the same, after taking a long break a few years back and trying to come back to just giving up again because every game's """realism""" just evolved into spinning simulators with AI that actively make the game worse and microtransactions that make games that are semi-cromulent entirely as unaffordable as a dedicated racing sim rig. I'll stick to Gran Turismo 4, the older Need for Speeds, and other games of that era that actually had personality.
One racing game I wish got a spiritual successor is Star Wars Episode 1 racer
The mechanics in that game are amazing
What about Test Drive Unlimited ? What's the catch with that game ?
I love how well this aged with the "The Crew" statement 🤣🤣
1:40 BallisticNG music, what a man of culture!
Need for speed heat mate
You havent touch the dirt rally and wrc series. Would be interesting to hear your opinion. I personally miss the test drive unlimited series. Loved to drive around hawaii
I see nothing out of the ordinary in that intro. McLaren stuck in the middle, in the traffic, Ferrari just having an “inshident”, two cars doing the Verstappen-on-top-of-Hamilton move..
Was the background music in the beginning (like in the first minute or so) from Colin McRae Rally 2.0 by any chance?
Thank you for pointing that out, I miss old racing games like Midtown Madness, NFS Underground 2 and Motorstorm. I want dense Cities and not another long straight through the desert with one corner, just two lanes and max 3 cars as traffic. I want sharp corners, 20 Cars on one Intersection and a good Multiplayer. The only two I play nowdays are Trackmania and BeamNG Drive. Think about these what you want, but at least these are different.
I think it is the same with sports, to many resource is spend in getting car license instead of developing it. Sadly car with no irl brand is not going to sell that well.
ROCKET LEAGUE IS A DRVING GAME RIGHT?
Just give me a new Wipeout with a proper tutorial for beginners, and more than 9 tracks and then reverses of those tracks utilised in the career too.
lmao saying acc has bad ffb then saying GT7 is nice to control, i detect brain damage here
I had a feeling the new forza 8 is going to be the same as it always has been
I love arcade games, like Split/Second, blur and Mario Kart 😀 Even NFS Hot Pursuit with weapons is awesome.. I dont like simulations 🙁
Blur was (and still is) so incredibly underrated. It had a goofy, over-the-top story mode and an insanely addicting multiplayer mode. It was endless fun finding trying to find different strategies with the power-ups on each track. I miss playing it so much.
spike spiegel gaming
i kinda stopped playing racing games altogether. tried out FH 5, which is ok for what it is, because of being included in Game Pass. You just made me reconsider having a look at Wreckfest. thx.
Trackmania?
every racing game has flaws and advantages. but at the end of the day. gran turismo will be always the biggest downfall of its glory
Gran Turismo is still the best racing franchise and that's just a simple fact lol
"You can't invent anything new for racing games" Without delving into new concepts like Dirt meets Half Life – We still don't have a Wangan Midnight-esque racing game that isn't Tokyo Drift or modding AssCorsa with Shutoko map, we still don't have Initial D meet NFSU, and only half a decade ago someone made My Summer Car.
Racing roguelike games are so obvious too to appeal to non racing fans
And here i thought fighting games had been in a rough spot in the past couple generations.
Wow… I didn't realize things were that bad when it came to racing games. Then again, I guess I should have, considering that I haven't really been gripped by a racing game since the Burnout series. Ridge Racer R4 was the last Ridge Racer game I loved to play over and over (I don't want to talk about Ridge Racer: Unbounded.). I do like BNG, and Distance is good as well… they are both a lot of fun… but they are older, niche, indie games, which just goes to show just how bad things really have gotten as far as mainstream racers go. If I was passionate about racers (as you obviously are), I'd be disgruntled at this point. As I am, I'm just… sad.
… though this video did amuse the hell out of me, so there's that, at least. Who knows, maybe a decent developer somewhere will see this and take your words to heart. One can hope.
