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."
An upcoming change in Forza Horizon 4 can prevent completionist gamers from earning all achievements in the open-world racing game.
When this happens they should just give people who have bought and played the game the achievements/ trophies automatically. Either that or replace them.
Luigi's Mansion 2 HD still performing well.
The platform breakdowns really show how irrelevant xbox has come for selling software.
1 Hogwarts Legacy Switch 41%, PS5 26%, PS4 24%, Xbox 5%
2 EA Sports FC 24 Switch 34%, PS5 28%, PS4 26%, Xbox 12%
Yea, you can see why some developers and publishers are increasingly starting to skip XBox all together. Unless you're in a small minority of successful and highly played Gamepass games, you're pretty much taking a payout on your game just to rot and die on the service.
Not that surprising, the Switch has some killer exclusive titles, so people have to own a Switch to play them.
Nintendo's best-selling Switch game breaks another record.
I’m part of the Wiiu numbers myself.
Which then make MK 8 a bit over 70 million!
Gotta look into if you're really going to enjoy it long term. I bought it because of all the crazy MK Wii videos of people doing skips but found that MK8 was a lot more tame mechanically. Got boring pretty quickly, and the online last i checked wasn't very stable.
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
