/v/ - Video Games

Nothing makes a game worth $50+ in my mind unless it's a solid fuckin game that I'll get 200hrs out of. I bought season pass for PCars 2 since I knew I'd be playing it a lot, but I usually need some good fuckin evidence of a game being worthwhile to even pay $20.

http://ogc.wikia.com/wiki/OGC_Wikia

OGC wiki since I know I'll be directing someone here at least once

>>14411395

being as good as any classic nfs game (including nfs ii to carbon) or burnout 3

in other words, there are no racing games worth $50

>>14411553

i have a solution to all of your computer related issues

downgrade to windows 7 fuckhead

>>14411480

I always just compare one hour of game time to $1 of actual money. If I spent $50 on a game then as long as I got 50 hours of play time out of it I'd be breaking even. That said, nobody should ever pay full price for vidya.

>>14411863

but muh forza

>>14411893

forza is gran turismo but downgraded and with the worst online imaginable

get pcsx2 then gran turismo 3/4 and you have forza but better

>>14411898

>gran turismo but downgraded

thats gt5 and every gt that has followed it

>>14411906

and also forza

>>14411898

>>14411921

also did you forget about horizon you nigger

>>14411931

inferior to f&f nfs games in every way

Last racing game I played the hell out of was Gran Turismo 5. I need to drive regular consumer cars with intense autismo options.

>>14411893

Forza a shit

Microsoft a shit

You a shit

>>14411931

Do you actually think the Horizon games are any good?

>>14412033

gran turismo 3/4

or alternatively gran turismo 5/6

>>14412147

4 is the peak tbh

>>14412147

I've got about 600 hours on GT5, probably double that on GT3. Question for everyone. What game got you into driving games?

The one that did it for me was the original PS1 Driver. That game was the shit.

>>14412161

Gran Turismo 1. Got it on my PSP right now even.

>>14411890

That's fair. I think my margin is two hours per $.

>>14412161

>original PS1 Driver

Honestly I think that was my first racing game I ever owned. Such a good game. Then it was Test Drive and finally Gran Turismo 2 to introduce me to the full 'tism of car culture.

Dirt games are on sale again, if you don't own Dirt Rally go get it, if you want to try dirt 4 maybe go?

also incoming wreckfest patch

https://twitter.com/bugbeargames/status/969234699532034049

>>14413637

THQ Nordic was the best thing to Happen to Wreckfest. The game already improved a lot with the patches since they took them over, and these "what we're planning" notes sound good. http://store.steampowered.com/news/externalpost/steam_community_announcements/2361446846769514267

>Criterion approached EA to publish their games after releasing Burnout 2

>EA tried to force them to remake some shitty skate game they had instead of making a new Burnout

>Criterion agreed at first, but after being pestered by EA 's """artistic""" team telling them to make changes that clashed with their vision of the game, they told EA to fuck off

>Later on, EA came back begging Criterion to work with them

>Criterion told EA to fuck off again, but EA begged so hard for so long that Criterion eventually gave them a pity chance and started making a new Burnout for them, on the condition that EA had absolutely no say in the game's development, giving Criterion full liberty to make the game the way they want with no trace of kikery

>Criterion then made Burnout 3, which turned out to be the best racing game ever made in the history of man, innovating the genre more than any other racing game has ever done, to date

>Burnout became so successful that, after Paradise, EA asked Criterion to put some of its mechanics in their shitty NFS franchise to make it less shitty, and so they made Hot Pursuit, and ended up making a better game than EA ever did, and thus making it the best NFS title in the series

>Criterion was lured away to work on NFS ever since, most likely because of EA's money, and gave up on Burnout altogether

Such a quiet death for such an explosive franchise…

I just recently played Blur but I can't figure out for the life of me what was wrong with it?

>>14414080

Nothing was wrong with it. It was an amazing game made by the best arcade racing game devs in the industry. Activision fucked them over with advertising and release date, then killed them off.

>You will never play a 20 player online race ever again.

Feels bad.

>>14414080

All the handling feels really stiff.

>Trailer plays like a Motorstorm trailer, down to the voice guy talking about geography in an eloquent way

>Based on a sport that's basically Motorstorm in real life

So this is Sony's new Not!Motorstorm.

>>14413637

Don't forget Automobilista is also on sale too. Plz join.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/431600/Automobilista/

>>14414349

God I hope this isn't shit.

How's Dirt 4? I already own Dirt Rally but I kinda miss proper career mode.

>>14414962

>>14415468

Video description says it'll be focused on realism, so it'll be shit.

Buy the copycat made by the original devs instead.

>>14415635

Oh it's coming. No split-screen at launch though, for some reason.

They asked The Qemists (who've had their music in Motorstorm games before) to make a new single just for their new trailer.

>>14415524

>focused on realism

But anon- That's what I want

>>14415858

Goddamn he looks sad. Also, fuck you I like sims and good FFB and muh immersion.

>>14415877

>>14415844

And check my fucking digits out

>>14415881

Pathetic attempt.

>>14415887

Wasn't an attempt. Just pointing out my two dubs in a row.

>>14415882

Ok

>>14415911

Because sim racing devs don't get swallowed whole by EA and leave the lead developers and founders to jump ship while the developer's name is dragged through the mud with shitty Need for Speed sequels.

>>14415911

Now you've got the digits. Bless this thread.

To answer your question, I don't want more of the same. I want better. I've played a good handful of sims and not all of them are created equal. A lot of older ones haven't even been dethroned by newer titles. Just because they appear to be the same to someone that doesn't simrace doesn't mean they are. Posting screenshots of different renditions of a car on the same spot on a simulated real-life track is as reductive for judging a game as posting a spaceship and stars in the background from different space games.

Furthermore, the rally sim genre doesn't really exist outside of a few standout titles that have actually had decent physics and features. Go ahead and name a few actual sim-quality rally games. Dakar is a legendary rally race, and the people who appreciate it are heavy into the craft. It's in the same league as Isle Of Man TT or Le Mans for their respective motorsports. People don't generally make outrageous arcade games about these events, because the people who enjoy them are gearheads and motorsports enthusiasts- Not just Racing Game enthusiasts. There will be other dirt-racing arcade games out there, but I want to have a proper rally experience with Dakar.

Oh right, the servers for GT6 are shutting down later this month, get those plain looking custom tracks while you can everyone.

>>14415994

Yeah dude we need more varied arcade racers, more exciting simcade stuff, more top of the line sims. We need more good games in every genre.

>>14414092

I wonder why they don't just sell it super cheap and get at least some shekels out of it. Though guess unless it sells 6 gorillion copies at $60+ each it won't sell at all :^)

>>14414099

Handling come to think of it feels rather unresponsive.

What is the best arcade racer on current gen consoles? Less wipeout and more burnout are where my tastes lie. I just want a new Burnout lads.

Don't suppose any of you fags can weigh in on this? >>14414772

>Why not Whiplash/any racing game?

We couldn't find one that actually matched the requirements for a gamenight, if fags could make suggestions that'd help but it needs to:

1. Have at least 16 players and preferably more in a game.

2. Have in-game chat (text only is obviously fine).

3. Allow players who join after the race starts to spectate and chat (and have races only last 5-10 minutes tops so fags don't have to wait forever).

4. Work for piratefags and legitfags both.

5. Let us host our own server preferably not using goyranger (if there are no other options goyranger might be acceptable but no Tungle/Hamachi/Evolve etc).

6. Have enough content to last at least two days (assume 24+ hours of gameplay @ ~12 hours a night).

>>14416687

>>14416687

Sanic racing transformed is pretty fun. I don't think it has any kind of text chat though.

I am still looking for an arcade racer and it's gotten so bad I am considering buying a need for speed game. I have not played a need for speed since Underground 1 on the ps2. Of the two which is better, NFS[reboot] or Rivals? They are pretty damn cheap on the playstation store, 6 and five dollars respectively. I am just jonesing very hard for a new arcade racer to play. I am that desperate.

>>14416741

Pirate either Most Wanted 2012 or Hot Pursuit for the PS3/PC. Rivals has a very crappy open world. I can't speak for NFS Reboot though.

>>14416764

Are there any games similar to burnout that you recommend? I am a pretty casual racan fan. Burnout 3 is my favorite racing game ever and I really have not found anything close to its utter perfection since. I just want to experience that teeth shattering FAST and the feeling that one mistake will send your vehicle into an explosive ball of metal death and sparks. WHERE THE FUCK IS BURNOUT 4?

>>14416771

Hot Pursuit is basically Burnout 3 with licensed cars and less exciting boost, the same comparison can be made with Most Wanted 2012 and Burnout Paradise.

>WHERE THE FUCK IS BURNOUT 4?

YOU GONNA TAKE THIS MARGINAL GRAPHIC UPGRADE OF BURNOUT PARADISE AND YOU ARE GONNA LIKE IT.

>>14416777

How the FUCK can you put boost in a game and not make it the most intense white knuckle shit imaginable. That is what kills me truly. Burnout 3 was just perfection. No racing game in the history of the genre made me feel such burning adrenaline like that one did. Boosting through hairpin turns so fast that the screen looks like a fucking monet is the only thing I ask from my racing games. Onrush looks neat though.

Trackmania is the only other racing game I like.

>>14416786

Need for Speed makes it just a very short burst of acceleration. Most Wanted 2012 has the closest thing to Burnout style boosts with 3 different sorts of boosts, but they just don't have the duration that Burnout gives you if you have the skill to handle them.

>>14415844

>focused on realism

>consoles

>multiple different types of vehicles

Too many red-flags. That combination isn't going to work.

I don't get why we can't have a sort of arcade racer these days with more than fucking 8 players? I mean how hard can it be?

>>14417896

assetto corsa :^)

>>14411395

Does Grawvël have a cool career mode like Gran Turismo?

>>14417896

>>14417955

Why don't you actually start with what you are looking for/interested in first then you will get an honest answer?

>>14418206

I'm not that picky. I like racing that's arcadey and more on the sim side. I suppose i'd like to know what the current fad(s) is(/are).

>>14418230

Buy the next game if you want to play online goy.

>Motorstorm 1 and Pacific Rift are disc only titles, no digital download on PSN

>But the fucking demos are

>Meanwhile Apocalypse is on PSN despite being the worst in the series

What the fuck

I had to go out and hunt a copy of the first one today

>>14418456

Agreed on Mario Kart 8. All the DLC makes it feel less and less like a Mario game, while the gameplay feels just lackluster, despite Wii's "best" efforts to shake up the formula that just led to frustration.

>>14418280

Then get a 360 and play PGR4. It's pure arcade but really grounded in terms of cars and tracks. Has some of the nicest arcade handling too since every car feels like a caricature of its real life counterpart. The weather is some of the nicest for that gen too. Forza basically stole its rain puddle tech after a full generation. It also has the best snow in any game that gen. I know it counts as weather, but I fucking love snow. You don't know amazing until you've driven a Ferrari in Nordschleife in the snow.

>>14418456

I feel like I should make a bigass chart of good racing vidya

>>14419439

Make sure to split it between arcade and realistic charts

>>14417578

You right. I want you to be wrong, but you right.

>>14419439

Yes bawse. >>14419477 except make it a spectrum from Pure Arcade Currazy Racing, to Realistic.

>>14419439

Don't forget to put Burnout 3 at the very top as the god of racing games.

What are your favourite kart racers?

Recently i´ve been playing sonic racing transformed and its was unexpectedly good .

>tfw want to Move to the Beat but the wind fucked up your power

I just wanted to hook up my wheel again and race for a little while.

>>14419674

CTR with a wheel is breddy good. I kinda wish Sanic had wheel support. But CTR feels nice and runs really well.

>>14419696

Movin' movin'…

R4's OST was pure art.

>>14418456

your taste in gaming sucks, Dirt 3 was cancer. Paradise and Test Drive are also total cancer. Horizon 3 is overrated (not a bad game, but the dlc's make it bad).

>>14420408

I wish the copy of R4's OST that I have wasn't mixed so terribly. It's super quiet so I have to blast it for normal volumes which then makes the rest of music unbearably loud. I also wish RRV's OST was better. At least the PSP games and 6 and 7 have good songs. Heck, even RR3D isn't all bad.

>>14420496

Looks way more organized than anything we've got at hand. Good on ye, anon. I'm putting in a commendation for you.

>>14420564

Lower model settings first, render distance, particle density etc. Textures can usually be kept higher. Lastly, get rid of the post-processing as much as possible t. potato pro

>>14414092

>>14416112

The marketing had another reaction - I remember a few shitty game journos (well that's redundant) drumming up drama how the ads were taking a jab at Mario Kart, more people took the bait and got a stick up their ass and by the end the sales were pretty low because the time of year it came out wasn't the greatest.

Silver lining - a bunch of the staff moved onto making Forza Horizon after the studio closed.

>>14416764

>>14416741

NFS Reboot is dogshit. It looked nice but underneath it's just trash. Agree that Rivals is shit as well.

Pure arcadey fun - Daytona USA is on Xbox for not much. If you want classic "pick a slow car and pour cash into it" arcadey fun, you're better off hunting down an old copy of Carbon or Most Wanted 2005.

>>14421220

>>14421220

I'll just wait until Burnout Paradise remastered comes on sale I guess. Being a fan of burnout 3 is truly suffering. It is the definition of perfection and the one time I wouldn't mind EA going full Jew and porting that shit on everything and they fail me. EA honesty doesn't seem to like doing HD remasters of anything which is fucking odd. They manage to pump out a game that isn't complete trash every once and a while and yet they never seem to rerelease anything.

No HD Def Jam FFNY, Burnout 3, Bad Company 2, SSX3, Dead space, ect.

I can't tell if I am more angry or impressed they managed to have such self control. If I oak wrong plus bully, but I think Burnout Paradise is their first remastered game.

>>14419439

I would like that.

>>14419648

>someone on /ocg/ considers Burnout 3 god-tier

Maybe my taste in racing vidya isn't half bad.

>>14422119

Burnout 3 is the pinnacle of arcade racing games. Every game I have ever played feels like complete shit in comparison.

>>14420702

Would you say Omega and 3SE are the ultimate games to play?

>>14422138

Kinda. Omega doesn't have the custom soundtracks feature that HD + Fury have, which is used in Zone mode like a visualizer.

>>14422513

Oh wow. Thanks anon. This one is a lot harder to really make your mind upon. Would you say any certain game is the definitive one/ are there a few definitive ones? The way you described it makes me frankly not even try them, aside from the first perhaps.

>>14422513

Thanks for runs and downs.

Is there any game that's similar in regards to career mode, car customization and variety for PC?

>>14418456

Forza 7 sadly

>>14422513

You can flip over in GT Sport. I kept on doing it at the entrance to the forest on the Nordschleife in the stock STI. If I rode the left curb too much it kept on making me flip over, it was pretty hilarious. The car would just auto respawn back on the track after sitting on it's roof for a brief moment.

>>14420702

>Missing 64 which belongs with classic Wipeout.

>Doesn't mention that every region version of 3 and 3SE has different physics to each other, which massively impacts how the original 3 tracks play. Common rec is now 3 NTSC-J for Wipeout 3 tracks and SE only for the classic tracks.

>Makes it seem like everything after Fusion is an upgrade where as in reality there is a fairly big divide between classicfags and newfags. If you like one you won't necessarily like the other so even if you try 3 and hate it it's worth checking out Omega and vice-versa.

>>14422138

3SE has a different ship handling mechanic from the original, so the gameplay's a matter of which one you like better. Everything else is an upgrade, so it's generally better.

If you want better soundtrack, get HD + Fury or 2048

If you want 4k and active multiplayer, get Omega

>>14423061

>64

Wipeout 64 was just 2097 with an exclusive track.

>Makes it seem like everything after fusion is an upgrade

I said it was a new formula, not that it was better than the originals. I like the whole franchise but HD still is the most accepted by fans as a whole, though.

>>14423160

>Wipeout 64 was just 2097 with an exclusive track.

No it wasn't it didn't have a single track from 2097; you clearly haven't played half the games you're talking about.

>>14423178

While I'll admit the only one I haven't played was 64, the tracks in that game are mirrored versions from 2097's, or small variations that make them a bit different. Qoron IV for example is just a flattened Altima because the N64 couldn't handle the big drop. The game also happens during the F5000, one year after 2097.

Is ridge racer a fun series? I never got into it

>>14411520

>>14411553

Speaking of carbon I love/hate it so much.

It's so much worse than the earlier fast n furious inspired games but at the same time I love the class system so much. I really liked the idea of class systems in racing games.

>>14425728

It's a great arcade racer.

If you're playing the PS1 games check out Rage Racer too.

>You're overtaken in the final lap

>THAT song comes up

Name 'em, dudes

>>14426645

But in all seriousness.

https://www.hooktube.com/watch?v=2YdPNY7TihQ

>>14425728

The older ones are super fun. The new ones feel really arcadey and heavily simplify drifting while also eventually introducing NOs. I don't like any of the ones with NOs as much as the older titles, but that's a personal preference. The neat thing is that Namco did a great job building out their fake world of fake cars and still made most of them drive fairly uniquely but keeping manufacturer's handling characteristics the same between models of each brand. I'm used to older NFS where the cars basically all drive the same except for top speed and acceleration (at least, that's all the difference I feel in NFS3), or like Crash Team Racing where it's all karts that kinda sorta feel the same. If you have a freesync/gsync monitor, emulate Rave Racer on MAME (adaptive refresh fixes framerate related problems to sound and controls) and it's a lot of fun. Rage Racer and Type 4 on PSX are wonderful, despite being pretty different. Rage Racer lets you rice your cars a little and Type 4 just lets you unlock over 300 cars with varying stats. Type 4 also introduces the idea of cars that don't dorifto, which is used through Ridge Racer V and promptly dropped in favor of a 3-tier rating for how well a car drifts (Mild, Standard, Expert, I believe) and even then, it's more of a guideline than set rule for how slick a car is around turns.

All in all, competent series and filled with arcade fun and decent music. Might not scratch the same itch as the better GT games but it's still a lot of fun.

>>14426766

Ridge Racer could have been so much more especially since it shared the same universe as Tekken and Ace Combat.

>>14426852

Yeah, it feels kinda flat as far as setting. I like that they name drop a lot of stuff for their fictional cars. Everything about the game's tracks feels very clean and neat to the point of seeming entirely unrealistic. Like an uncanny valley, but for roads.

>>14426645

This one does justice to the title "Fury".

No more racing, only violence.

>>14426876

Also just realized. I don't think I've ever seen a person on a track or watching a Ridge Racer race in game.

>>14426852

People always say Project Soul gets shit on the most at Namco and my only reaction is to point at Ridge Racer. If it had an actual story, it could have been great! The little bits of story in Type 4 are nice slices into the lives of people running your racing team. Unfortunately, the only Ridge Racer game with a real story we have is R: Racing Evolution. It's okay to put it mildly.

Tekken's not in the same universe as Ace Combat and RR though. Tekken is on real Earth (and technically so is Type 4, since you go to real countries) but I want to believe Ridge City/Ridge State are somewhere in Usea for Ace Combat. It could be a Fast n Furious plot, it could be Initial D, it could be a straight up, honorable and legal racing tournament and talk about Race City and Rage Racers and how Reiko became mascot of the Racing Association. The birth and death of these automobile companies racing against each other, teams coming and going through history to prove their worth as drivers, the average citizens watching and having car culture as a mainstream activity instead of something like football.

I actually wanted to run quests taking place for each game and the choices/outcomes of earlier races shape later campaigns slightly. It's just a shame I have no talent for writing or planning stories to make them fun. But there's so much love put into the Ridge Racer world, it feels easy to just jump in and have the world be fleshed out in all the right places now that we could explore other facets of the city and it's people.

>>14426890

>FortNite

>Earthstone

Am I 2 months behind on FOTMshit?

What are those "games" you speak of?

>>14426891

You get a race queen on track for Type 4 but that's it. Ridge City is actually pretty safe to drive in. The city blocks off streets for races. There are terribly textured crowds in the arcade games, I think, but beyond that, no people out and about. The city is actually shockingly detailed as the games progress. And for the most part, the city stays basically the same from generation to generation.

>>14426912

Fortnite is a shitty PUBG free clone and Earthstone is a very crappy computer TCG made by Blizzard.

>>14426919

>Hearthstone

Fix'd.

>>14426919

I think the name of the game is Hearthstone, not Earthstone.

>>14426918

>The city is actually shockingly detailed as the games progress. And for the most part, the city stays basically the same from generation to generation.

Huh, well I guess I don't have the words for why Ridge Racer feels so artificial to the point of it being irksome to me. Only Ridge Racer manages this, not Gran Turismo, not Project Cars, not Burnout or Wipeout invokes this weird feeling.

>>14426905

You should make that game, anon. We need more arcade racing games.

>>14426984

Did people only hate Burnout Paradise because of the crash mode?

>>14427070

While "Showtime" didn't even come close to the crash modes of 3 and Revenge, the rest of Paradise is littered with downgrades.

>no traffic checking

>no aftertouch

>can't turn off takedown cameras

>worthless aggression cars

The gameworld was pretty nice, new events were a welcome addition, and stunting in Freeburn was fun back in the day; But everything else was done better in its predecessors.

>>14427070

>>14427133

Burnout Paradise is still a super fun game in its own right, and I never actually owned the original just borrowed it from a neighbor a few times, and I am actually tempted to get the remaster in the nonexistent hope my shekels melt EAs decrepit heart enough to actually green light a new game, or at least bring 3 to PC. I enjoyed the game immensely, but not even remotely as much as 3. I wasn't too into the sprint style races of paradise. They don't last nearly long enough to create any sense of real tension. Fun but underwhelming ultimately describes paradise for me. I am interested in it purely for the DLC which I never got to play and looks really fun. It's one of EA's least shit games, but it doesn't come close to Burnout 3 which in my opinion is the pinnacle of arcade racers. I bought a PSP just to play BurnoutNDominator, which is a port of 3 that is how much I love that game. It's the only racing game since jet moto that I can ever remember 100%ing. I will jack Burnout 3 off for the rest of my natural life. No game will even come close.

>>14427133

I am fairly certain you can aftertouch in paradise. I am often wrong though

>>14427185

Big Island Surf is probably the only DLC that you'd be interested in, since that adds the most significant portion of actual single player gameplay to the game with new checkpoint races with laps and such and a shitton of stuff to stunt off of. Burnout Bikes is interesting, but they work pretty differently from cars and have no boost mechanic, and races with them are solo affairs with no CPU machines, which limits how exciting they feel.

The rest of the DLC is simply famous cars, two (kinda ugly) cars with new boost mechanics, and lil cars, which don't bring with them any new races or anything. The last DLC worth mentioning is the cop and robbers multiplayer mode, which I've never played.

>>14427250

Nope, although that was featured in the beta.

>you can mod Burnout Paradise

And suddenly I want the PC remaster.

>also mfw he immediately loses a race in the BMW

Casual.

>>14427283

To be fair, the Boost Hot Rod is probably the best speed car in the game due to the fact you get perpetual boost as long as you can control it. If you're doing something involving smacking people around then the Knight Rider Carson GT is the best, especially for Marked Man.

>>14428298

PCars 2 is kinda shitty on the base PS4. They recently updated it a bit but it's still the worse looking game on the console. If you fell for the Sony jew though and bought a Pro I'd recommend getting PCars 2.

If you've got a wheel then I'd suggest Assetto Corsa, otherwise your best bet is GT Sport but you specifically said to avoid mentioning that one.

>>14428376

GT Sport currently doesn't fit my predefined price range. I also don't like the idea of some editions including game credits as a bonus. I'l look into Assetto Corsa you mentioned.

As i realize NFS Rivals is shit game, right?

>>14428385

Yep, do not get Rivals, even if it's on sale. The problem sim-cade racers have is that they all have superior versions on PC, with the exception of GT Sport. That just leaves Wipeout Omega Edition if I recall right.

>>14428385

I think GT Sport is like $32 on the playstation store right now. You can also pick up a new physical copy off of Amazon for $35. Yea, that premium edition stuff is retarded, especially since credits are unbelievably easy to earn in that game.

>>14427283

>The DLC adds checkpoint races.

Can you do check point races in Paradise or only in big surf. Huge if both. The fact that Big Surf fixes my biggest complaint with the game is enough to tip my hand and get the remaster alone. Can you make your own events and play them in singleplayer?

>>14427314

Is there a way to add a damage model to the nodded cars? Or add cars that have even basic damage?

>>14428586

Checkpoint races are only in the Big Surf Island area for cars, while the bikes get some in both Big Surf and Paradise City itself. I distinctly remember one race that took you through all 8 compass points of the map.

As far as creating your own events in single player, no. I think you can make them in multiplayer, but don't quote me on that since I've only ever touched it once and did not complete a single race.

>>14428617

Also no idea. I really hope so since it would just be a matter of applying whatever deformation magic the original devs had made onto car models, but something tells me it just is not that simple or else everyone else would have just copied it.

>>14425823

Am with you on that one. Overall it's got a lot of flaws and can't fluke-through like Most Wanted did, but underneath there was stuff in there I really liked:

- Doing 1-shot races outside of Career mode unlocked cars that were available in story mode (eg. instead of the 3 shit cars you could start with the 180X early).

- The buddy system; it wasn't implemented good, but I loved the idea of me and another partner in the race and not just solo. So races I went muscle car and use the shortcut team mate, so they'd drive ahead and I'd block everyone.

>>14427185

Fuck everyone knows how good Burnout 3 was, if no-one else has tried to recreated in in the last decade why would EA - they've clearly burned the franchise down in order to fuel NFS.

>>14428906

Well EA burned a lot of franchises down cause in the end they had too many IP's competing with one another. Like what they did to the Medal of Honor franchise to secure the existence of Battlefield.

>>14428298

Dirt Rally could be fun, but I've never played. I hear it's well reviewed even on console. It's pretty hardcore sim for rallying, so if you want sim you can get it.

>>14428470

Too bad I don't have the time or skills to make this a real game.

>>14427313

But they did, it's called Race Driver 3

>>14429521

From a realism, FFB, and handling standpoint there isn't a single game on PS4 that can come close to AC. Even on PC it's hard to beat. I had it for probably a month or two before I caved and started buying the DLC's . But even without them it's still plenty of fun, albeit a tad bit bare bones compared to other games perhaps.

I'm not sure if you have a wheel or not so one thing to keep in mind is that it's supposedly pretty difficult to play if all you have is a DS4.

>>14427313

Forget select classic F1 cars, I want to race several seasons in one game like F1 Challenge. I want tobacco and alcohol sponsors, and don't tell me it can't happen because one of the recent NASCAR games did it. I want the game to get gradually more and more difficult each season to simulate aging until you're forced to retire after the 20th year if you even make it that far. I want to be injured in crashes and be forced to take time off. I want to see fatal crashes (though they'd never allow that with real drivers; imagine the outcry with someone such as Bianchi) that can happen to you if you're not careful. I want freak events like some fucking moron running onto the track with a deathwish or a deer hopping over the tire wall. I want VR podium celebrations. And above all, I want the ability to watch the whole race TV-style with commentary as though it were a real F1 race. I feel Sony were on the cusp of something great when they had the license yanked from them.

>>14429521

It's not a controller game, you need a wheel to play AC whether you play on PS4 or on PC. It's unfortunate considering other simracing titles feel fine with a controller.

>>14430805

I'm using an xbone s pad and some settings found online and it's one hundred times better than stock

Maybe look if you can find something

Is an used DFGT a good buy? I like racing games, but spending 150€ for a wheel seems too much for me

>>14430805

Honestly GT Sport it your best option, it's made to be playable on consoles with controllers and wheels plus it's got a good chunk of content. AC has a couple of other issues that stack up like no working nighttime races as well as no flags. PCARS2 is an alright game but they did some questionable things (paying off journos) that I refuse to support them.

If you want a cheap racing game that is solid though not on PS4, anything using gmotor2 like RACE 07, rFactor, Automobilista and GT Legends.

>>14430825

They used to be a little cheaper, most of the old wheels are getting expensive as the new gen comes in with their own problems. Yes FFB is good for simracing but at the same time try to judge how involved you want to get into it since it's easy to find yourself suddenly spending $500 even without the cost of the games.

>>14418456

dirt 2 is much better than 3, you could argue that there 2 different type of games though

the first horizon game was the best.

Any games similar to Midnight Club Los Angeles but on PC? I haven't played a lot of racing games but I remember having fun with that one ten years ago.

>>14426645

>>14426645

>>14433892

>ten years ago

Where have the years gone? Unfortunately I haven't personally played any PC racing game with the same flavor of Midnight Club: LA. You could always emulate Midnight Club 3 though, I think it's the best in the series.

>>14434480

Yeah, MC3 was awesome. Car choice was excellent, only game I know that included the '49 Fleetline, '78 Monte Carlo, '81 Camaro and '95 Impala in its Chevy lineup. And even though they lacked the license to a couple certain manufacturers, they at least tried to fill in the stopgaps with Saleen for Ford and Gemballa for Ferrari/Porsche. Basically had everything you could want in a racing game and that's without including the SUVs and motorcycles. Hydraulics were fun as fuck to mess around with as were the powerups. Modification was endless and was the only game I can remember off the top of my head that allowed you to modify the license plate, and the graphics were amazingly good for something that was sixth-gen only.

All in all, 9/10 at the absolute lowest.

Is Project Cars 2 a dud? I keep seeing it on sale constantly.

>>14436263

I'll never know until it's GOTY edition goes on sale for like $20. A lot of review sites rated it highly, so I assume it's at least okay.

>>14436263

Good on PC and if you fell for the PS4 Pro meme, but absolute shit on base PS4. Not sure how it is on Xbox.

I recently downloaded it after buying an external hard drive and while it's not as shit as I remember it being, it's still only good for about 15 minutes or less before I want to quit and play something better.

>>14436263

Good as fuck on PC. It's my daily driver. I got my FFB dialed in on it, and it's gorgeous with lots of cars and tracks to experience. If you like re-creating real life races it's great.

>>14436895

I bet, I'm jealous.

Porsche pack dropped for PCars 2. Leipzig is a joy to drive, although it is only one layout. The cars are a lot of fun to drive (and I'm not even a Porsche fan). The RSR GTE is rapid as hell, the '73 RSR is super enjoyable to drive. I don't care too much about the other vintage racecars, but they are fun enough to drive. The road cars even handle pretty well. The 959S is a total meme car in the best way.

>>14442370

Oh hey, I remember this game. Is it still in early access?

Why does rubberbanding AI still exist in racing games? Is it that hard to code an AI that races like normal?

>>14446023

Not like normal but poorly enough to stay with you, yet good enough not to beat you every time. They'd have to make the same types of mistakes as humans in unpredictable ways. Rubber banding is so much easier to pull off.

>>14447420

Whoops, reverse the words poorly and good. Anyway, has anyone played Gravel? How is it?

>>14446023

>Why does rubberbanding AI still exist in racing games?

In arcade racers it keeps the action consistent.

>Is it that hard to code an AI that races like normal?

yes, look at Dirt rally's Rallycross AI as an extreme example, the AI is fast but it's on rails and will happly ram you out of the way because it doesn't know you're there.

Look at how long it took Assetto Corsa to update it's AI, Project cars launched with terrible AI and millions of DLCs later, project cars 2 Still has questionable AI at times.

>>14447848

On rubber banding, I'd say play Ridge Racer. Those games play less like a rubber bandy arcade game and more like a puzzle game involving speeding cars. The cars race on nearly predetermined courses, but you have to figure out the best places to gain speed and pass without hitting a car or the wall or losing too much speed around corners. Well timed passes should make it easier to keep gaining time and places in the ranking and each difficulty gives you a shorter and shorter length of time to "solve" the "puzzle", making it less tolerant of mistakes (as per usual with other racing games which can be buttfucking hard). This actually helped a dummy like me to apply proper racing techniques instead of slamming into the other racers like it's /ogc/'s first turn in an rFactor race, where as other sim/simcades want to hold your hand unless you know to go into the options and disable a bunch of the assists and learn how to control the car yourself.

>>14447848

Related, makes me kinda want Sport, presents a challenge you don't normally see in racing games (multiplayer excluded)

>>14448874

The AI is so fucking terrible in that game. A really big upside to it for me is that it makes grinding credits incredibly easy. Even at professional level it's like you're not even racing anybody. The only hard part about racing them is trying to avoid collisions with them so that you can get the 50% clean race bonus boost at the end of the race. They're fucking suicidal most of the time and will just purposely try to ram right into you. I like hot lapping more than racing so it's mainly a non issue in my case.

>>14449165

Really? I was reading in the comments that the AI drives cleaner the further up the campaign you go.

It's fuckloads better than the first one and now after some patches the AI is as good as anything

>>14458952

That being said, if you're looking for online racing you're gonna have to join a community or two. Pub scrubbing isn't worth it on this game.

>>14458010

Holy shit that's great. I love it when people get creative like that.

>>14462411

I don't think so. It's some 3D models of a AE86 and Supra on a Initial D manga backdrop to make some kinda neat art.

>>14462411

Are you retarded? It's just some radical art made to look 2D.

>>14463201

I think you might be right since they've been ramping up production. We even got another update just now:

http://store.steampowered.com/news/?appids=228380

Two updates in a month for this game is like sorcery.

>>14449677

>Fuel is criminally forgotten.

It's forgotten for all the right reasons, the multiplayer was ass, and apart from the massive game world (which was empty as fuck) there is nothing special or memorable about FUEL.

That being said Motorstorm Apocalypse is still the best end times racing game

>>14465300

>That being said Motorstorm Apocalypse is still the best end times racing game

Well I can't argue against that, Motorstorm has some great settings.

>>14465790

RRV could play with so many things. Why is Reiko dropped? Who is Ai? What happened to the Real Racing Roots organizers? R. T. Souvalou is still around, but MMM and DRT aren't, where did they go?

Not much new for RR8 other than potentially being a Switch exclusive. Better than nothing, I guess. I don't have high hopes if it feels as generic as RR3D, which somehow felt worse than the PSP games even though it's basically the same game.

>>14466101

I think that's a problem with RR in general. They are very very linear games. If you find a car you like, you're allowed to use it for everything in the game, even across Categories/Classes. Compare this to other racing games where they have race series that restrict you to certain styles/manufactures, or at least encourage you to drive other cars with separate career tracking for them.

Not to say RR's core gameplay isn't near perfect (although I'd happily exchange strategic boosting to maximize Ultimate Charges for boosting forever as long as you are skilled at driving). I should try Unbounded again, I felt like I was playing that wrong, but a lot of the game felt very very odd.

>>14465300

>That being said Motorstorm Apocalypse is still the best end times racing game

Probably because it was the only one.

>>14466132

Unbounded is shit. And older RR was good because the cars actually handled differently, even within the same categories. So the skill in a lot of them were trying to do well enough to get new cars that you had to learn on the fly. Play RRT4 and try to race perfectly, you'll see what I mean.

>>14466230

>Play RRT4 and try to race perfectly, you'll see what I mean.

Oh I'm aware. Fuck you Solvalou, I'm doing my best.

>>14467154

I misread that as Paycheck, which would be all EA would be thinking of when making it I guess.

>>14468553

>>14467917

Well no surprise. It's completely shit. Played for about 30 minutes and then uninstalled.

>>14466101

Type 4 is the most heavy lore wise, and I think they wanted to mix up the flag girl with Ai (ignoring or not realizing the following Reiko had).

>>14469093

>multi part chink crack with Megaup linking to scams when I download

I'm gonna trust you anon, even though I shouldn't.

Also I know the game as a whole is gonna be shit. It's just an updated version of NFS '15 which sucked. but I really liked the rice sim aspect, and I don't wanna bother with Street Legal Redline Racing to get the same experience

Bump. What racing game has the best snowy track?

>>14474075

Perhaps Dirt Rally?

>>14474111

Yeah.

Motorstorm 1 is good.

Pacific Rift is the best.

Arctic Edge is okay but slow.

Never played Apocalypse but heard it was shit in some core aspects of the game.

Nobody talks about RC.

In short, just play the first two games.

Here's some rally for you cunts. Tracker seems to be shitting the bed at the moment though, so it'll probably take longer than usual to download this.

I do love that Outrun style of scrolling world though, even more Mode7 racers like F-Zero. Very charming engines.

>>14416687

Why not Automobilista?

>>14483323

Doesn't it play a lot like rFactor? That was my assumption based on it using the same engine. We had to scrub rFactor because of issues like latefags having to sit out for ages and inability to control what cars fags can take for a given track (also it didn't have a conventional head-to-head race mode from what I could see).

If Automobilista solves these issues it could be a candidate, can you explain how well it does on those 6 points? Also how is it for toasters?

>>14483323

>>14483359

Also asking resident /o/tist for some details on the game, looks somewhat promising. What's pirateabilty like?

>Just about toaster-acceptable

>In game chat

>Lets players join and spectate if late

>Can have races last only 5-10 minutes

>Can host own dedicated server

>Enough content for 2 days (if we use mods)

Negatives

<25GB (biggest issue frankly, what size is it compressed?)

<No head-to-head race or whatever you call it (I think we can emulate this with 'first to do 3 laps' or something?)

Unknowns

Piratefaggability and can pirates play with legitfags?

Can host own dedicated server?

Non-terrible UI (rFactor's confusing as fuck for non-racingfag anons)?

Can anons play acceptably using M+KB and can they turn on casual-friendly mode (i.e. automagic gears)?

>>14493860

Too bubbly for a ferrari. Rear end looks like a 370z but the front is a complete mish mash.

>>14493920

Front end, plus badge placement, almost seems like Lamborghini. Maybe it's a teaser for an original design rather than licensed car.

>>14493951

>>14493951

>an original design

Very well could be. Maybe I'm a car pleb after all, but a lot of things about the implied geometry of this car don't really match up to any car I know the lines of. It is only a couple hundred pixels though so my mind is playing tricks on me while trying to figure out the curves.

>>14493965

>a lot of things about the implied geometry of this car don't really match up to any car I know the lines of

I'm with you there. It's all over the place. Without the red lines and just looking at the pixel shading I get vibes from a Lambo, GTR, 370z, Porchse, Mitsubishi Evo and modern Jag. Will be interesting to see what it turns out to be.

IT'S A NEW RIDGE RACER

>>14493784

So where is this teaser even from?

Honestly could be. The downward slant of the license plate, badge, lights, and maybe spoiler all fit the general profile.
