Rallye Racing 97

What was that older one now, with the biggest game map in the world at the time? I think dirt.

Very beautiful atmospheric game with a lonely feel but fun driving

Do you mean Fuel?

yokonzo ,

It might be fuel

Art of Rally mixes fun arcadey accessibility with realistic handling for a fun stylish experience imo.

I love Dirt Rally 2. Oddly enough I’m not too good at it but it becomes a sort of groundhog day simulator as I continue to comically fuck up a run and reset to try and hit tight timing windows and optimize, resulting in a wave of excitement when it all culminates to eventually pushing me over the finish line

Mario Kart DS.

Shit’s a masterpiece.

Burnout 3: Takedown was my favorite. I had so much fun playing that game both solo and with my friends online. Burnout: Paradise never captured the same feeling for me, though.

Amen, B3P perfected the formula, I wish I could mod it and bring it to PC and add more cars and tracks

Every racing game not trying to sim stupid cars is gold these days.

I really enjoyed some Xbox game called “quantum redshift” and I’ve been trying to capture that feeling ever since. VR game called Redoubt gets close.

GT3 had the right amount of advanced and customization without going overboard or being too realistic. It was my sweet spot.

Dirt Rally 1 and 2 are both very fun.

Assetto Corsa is a fantastic simulator that me and my race team has used to learn a track before we take our race car there so we know all the turns. It really feels like you’re there and the game runs well and looks good low end hardware.

i am a diehard for old school SEGA sprite-scaling racers. OutRun, OutRunners, Super Hang-On, GP Rider, and Power Drift are all must-plays. they all run great in MAME and have also had a number of high-quality console ports. later polygonal titles like SEGA Rally and Hang-On GP are also great but will be less impactful if you're already used to modern racing games

i see a few comments mentioning different F-Zero games and would like to throw F-Zero 99's hat into the ring. the sheer chaos of that game is really something you have to experience for yourself

Playing Colin McRay rally on linux with wiimote + wheel frame as a controller was the best time I’ve had with rally games. Both game and controller worked better than I expected and was easy setup for living room couch.

Old crap now, but later sequels nor Dirt didn’t give the same feel.

So, no one has mentioned any of these as far as I can tell.

The Crew Motorfest - sort of a competitor to Forza Horizon (FH is PCand Xbox only… The Crew is also on PS)… it’s an open world ish always online style game. Some say it had better physics and closer to sim than simcade when compared to FH… it worked better out of the box with my peripherals (wheel, pedals, shifter)… bonus: the prequel, The Crew 2 (which is a bit older and has a different setup) is $0.99 on basically all the platforms right now.

Dakar Desert rally - kinda rocky launch and might still be buggy… not sure on that front… but it’s kind of an ambitious game that no one else was making. Basically driving offroad through the desert from GPS waypoint to GPS way point in a huge open environment (this is called “rally raid”) in a variety of vehicles - cars, “cars” (really super trucks), big trucks (imagine racing a dump truck across the desert at whatever 120mph), motorcycles, side by side, atv. More simcade than sim in terms of driving feel. They,re not developing it anymore (in terms of new content… game breaking bugs probably get fixed) but there’s a decent amount of content there… a little context that they kinda over promised to an extent and under delivered. Victim of the recent industry-wide layoffs for sure. So it got kinda panned. Definitely not the GOAT, but maybe worth it when on sale if it sounds at all interesting to you.

In terms of play time its probably Ridge racer type 4 for psx and the wipeout series followed by Mario kart.

ARNiM ,

Seconding R4, truly have high replayability value due to its unlock system & how every car handles differently. Not to mention the great soundtrack that I never get bored of.

caut_R ,

Probably DiRT 2… Overall just did everything right for me, no complaints at all.
