From Xfire: "By our definition, a racing game is any title that puts you in the driver's seat of a vehicle as you compete with other racers to see who gets to the finish line first.
So, this means that the game doesn't necessarily have to have hyper-realistic graphics. It doesn't even have to be realistic at all. It just has to have a vehicle and a race. That's it. But, even with such broad criteria, you'd be surprised that there aren't as many good racing games out there as you'd like to think, especially if you remove Gran Turismo from the equation."
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."
I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.
there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.
nintendo needs their bangers early on
The Season 2024 DLC pack for Assetto Corsa Competizione now has a release date, as revealed by parent company Digital Bros.
The Tempest weather system adds rain to iRacing for the first time, and it is available from today, 5th March 2024. Ahead of then, here is a hands-on review and here are detailed impressions.
I love the vast majority of em to be honest, both more realistic and arcade types
Personally, i love arcadey style racing games. The simplicity of pick up and play. From the older ones like outrun to newer retro inspired titles like hotshot racing. The less realistic the better (for me) but I do also like those that require you to have some skill to corner without removing the fun of going fast.
I just dont get too involved with the sim heavy racers. I appreciate their attention to detail but I am not that much of a car nut to know wheel balance and drift to weight ratios.
I prefer need for speed over gt or Forza in my opinion
Best racing game last gen for me, without a doubt, is Driveclub. Perfect controls where you always feel in control, while challenging times and opponents to beat. It just always feels FUN to play, even when you don't win. It also has the best track-design, and the graphics are STILL mind-blowing.
The article mentions Dirt 5. I liked some of the older Dirt games, but Dirt 5 sadly ditched the whole rally aspect completely. To top it off, it doesn't even have replays, which is just ridiculous in this day and age.
Dirt Rally 2 is a great game, currently playing and enjoying it, but it's probably too hard/serious/demanding for those who want to just throw a rally car through a gorgeous environment.
Rrrrrrrriiiiiiidge Racerrrrrrrrrrr
