Sim, arcade, simcade, anything. I'm kinda disconnected from the genre and want to know what is considered the GOATs of racing games to try them out.

Me personally, I'd say Dirt Rally 2, very addicting gameplay.

Rallye Racing 97

I don't typically go for racing games, but I have fond memories of playing Extreme-G on the N64. It had wepons, high speeds, and a soundtrack that tricked a young me into thinking I might like techno music.

Had fun with the original Forza Horizon and Midnight Club L.A.

Midnight Club was my absolute jam back in the mid oughts, loved the shit out of that game. Kinda got away from the Arcade style racers, but that game has a special place for me.

Any AG racing fans in here?

BalisticNG is my latest main game, but my love began with the WipEout series.

I also enjoy Redout and Redout 2, but the lack of weapons means I can only go so long before needing to play WipEout or BNG again.

Major fan hear. BallisticNG is such a love letter to WipEout, its fantastic

Redout 1 and 2 are great fun if I'm in the mood for lap times, but I hate racing against the NPCs.

Nobody is calling either game GOATs, but I personally really like Sonic Riders Zero Gravity and Cartoon Network Racing.

Rush 2, but just the stunts track

Road trip adventure for the ps2

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

I spent a lot of time on forza 6 and a lot on money on iracing. but eventually stopped racing. It is not fun any more and there is no respect in online racing. Just people wrecking each other

Not the Greatest of all time, but Growing up the two racing games I’d play the most was Forza Horizon and Little Big Planet Karting. Sadly I had to drop LBPK after my PS3 died and Forza Horizon I can’t find the disk for anymore.
