Racing games

[Alyxx Thorne]

I know a lot of boys (and girls) like racing games. So what's your favourites? Share and discuss!

 

Currently, I'm hopelessly addicted to Need For Speed Hot Pursuit. It's hands down the best racing game I've played.

 

Here's a review:

I'm also a HUGE fan of the Wipeout franchise.

 

Here's some gameplay from Wipeout 3, my favourite in the series:

Need for speed: Hot persuit 2

Need for speed: Hot persuit 2

I remember when that came out. Honestly that was the last good NFS game until the new Hot Pursuit came out.

Oh no, I don't like racing games. I suck in racings

[Alyxx Thorne]

Oh no, I don't like racing games. I suck in racings

Well, I'm sure there are other games you're good at.

I only played NFS series on my PC. Underground, Underground 2, Most Wanted, Carbon, and Undercover. I'm not that into racing games, it's just fun to drive and mod your car

The more recent NFS really aren't that good anymore.

I've not played a lot of racing games, but I have really enjoyed Dirt 2. It looks lovely and is fun to play.

Those games are alright, but definitely the weaker points of the franchise.

I think I've tried that. It's an alright game.

Yeah, they're kind of a bit repetitive imo, but still, it's fun to drive and race.

I really recommend Need For Speed Hot Pursuit, the new one. It's really bringing the franchise back to its arcade roots.

The franchise itself, is I think, losing its touch already. Every time a new game spawns every year, nothing really new was introduced. The NFS MMO is a bad idea imo.

 

As for hot pursuit, I've seen it and I gotta say it makes me want to play that game.

Hot Pursuit is the first GOOD NFS game I've played in ages. I suggest you try it. But yeah, before Hot Pursuit, I was really scared of the direction of the franchise.

I'll look forward to it

Another racing franchise that I love is the Super Mario Kart series. My favourite is actually the very first on the Super Nintendo. Way to show off Mode 7 there.

Gran Turismo 5. I got addicted to this game for about a month, modding and racing cars and just having fun with it, saving up money to buy bigger and better cars. I got really good at the techniques of racing physics in GT5, and I actually won a seasonal event worth 1.5 million credits, for doing a two hour race around the Nurburgring I believe in some sort of honda hybrid.

Congratulations on that then. I'm glad you got so much out of the game.

 

Gran Turismo is not really my taste because such "simulator" style racers that focus on realism often become boring for me.

Gran Turismo 4 on the PS2, I'm not good at it though, and I don't try to go trough the whole game campaign, I just play it to relax.

 

But my very favorite is Burnout Paradise, the perfect arcade racing game. Alyxx, if you liked NFS: Hot Pursuit, you should try Burnout Paradise. Awesome soundtrack, awesome gameplay, awesome visuals, awesome damage system. I both love and hate when I have a horrible accident in the game, I hate it because I just lost the fucking race, and love it because the damage system looks so nice in slow-motion.

Yeah, I've played it on my brother's PS3. It's an awesome game. I've also played Burnout Takedown on XBox with a friend and I remember I loved it. But that's more than a coincidence considering Criterion, the developers of Hot Pursuit, are responsible for the Burnout series.
