It's not exactly a new or innovative phrase, but there's one line that springs inevitably to mind every time Eurogamer trys to think of a way to describe FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage. The series - now in its third incarnation - has been called "Burnout's Redneck Cousin" before, and will undoubtedly be called that many more times over the coming weeks.
Rating: 8 out of 10
"Hello again, Nevi here. I'm join by George and Harrison and this week we discuss the huge success of the Kingdom Death: Monster Kickstarter, I try to explain Final Fantasy to two people who don't know anything about the series, Final Fantasy XV and George preaches as to why FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage is the great racing game ever. Thanks for listening."
ASidCast: "There are times when you’ve got a lot of free time and very few games that you’d wanna play. This is a list of great games that one must play regardless of how old they get, and not playing these would just be a sin for racing fans. Most of these games revolutionized their genre and probably created their own genre in the process, while some were just too advanced for their time. If in any case you missed these, then you better search for these games and play them for a fun dose of gaming history or as a new experience entirely. "
Bad list, but to each their own.
No Forza Horizon, Driveclub, Assetto Corsa, or Grid Autosport?
And if you can throw in Trials when its not a racing game, why is there no Rocket League?
Bought Grid 1 on pc for 2.50 last week, playing that at 4k60fps will make you feel nuts for ever spending 100's on racing games.
@nowitski2004: I chose Project CARS over Assetto Corsa as a personal opinion,and Grid 1 over Autosport because the first one was great 'for it's time', autosport was good but just not that great.
Rocket League would actually be the next game if could make a longer list,really sorry on that.
@C-H-E-F: Juiced and SRS,are you serious? These are the games that defines the genre?
Hot Pursuit 2010 was Burnout Paradise with licensed carswith cops and wasn't even a better game world.
Crazy Taxi wins on the mobile platform,there are very few racing games on mobile with a open world. And the few there are,arent as good as Crazy Taxi. And racing against the clock makes does it a racing game.
Hardcore Gamer: It's a new week for some Steam sales, and there are some solid deals to be had.
Sounds like a decent enough game but i feel the first one was way better than the 2nd so i'll need to preview this one before i consider ever buying it.
Great a 9 out of 10 they can always patch the bug. I knew this would be a good game.
