Play GX to get an even faster and harder experience.

I'm a big big fan of racing games. Some even call me a racist.

Are Nitronic Rush and Distance truly racing games though? They're more like car obstacle courses.

>>14880423

Distance is survival racing.

Devs are complete kike's, it started as an open source project and the promised it would remain so, then they made a patreon, then they closed source but promised they would open it again, then they started charging for it and deleted all their posts about open source. Complete kikes.

>>14880472

Yup, it's a shame cause its actually a good game.

From what I remember it was a copy of Wip3out engine and then they went onto greenlight and then they made it £4 when before it was free.

I got it when it was free and for some reason I still get the updates.

Not gonna complain.

>>14880504

>its actually a good game.

It's literally just a buggy inferior wipeout ripoff.

>>14880498

>Classic Sega racing games.

My nigga. We'll never get good classic Sega racing games again.

>>14880509

Yeah because it's based on the buggy ps1 wipeout engine, It's a feature. :^)

At least its still alive unlike slipstream GX

What's the appeal of wipeout it looks fucking boring

>>14880616

Definitely Manx TT

>>14880647

if Manx TT had the mechanic where you can get unseated (like Jet Moto) it will be just like the real thing.

Jet Moto 4 Never Ever

>>14879952

>I was thinking of trying Gran Turismo I dont know shit about cars by the way

OP, if you're not a car enthusiast, then you probably won't like GT, at all. They're great if you really know about cars, but shit like license tests and constant futzing over parts and stats isn't fun for everyone.

Fucking superb game. Definitely play it.

Start with XL, then 3. Afterwards move on to Pure and Pulse. Do not play Fusion on PS2, ever.

CTR if you want a cartoony game. Nothing in the category beats it.

Burnout 3 TD if you want a realistic racer.

>>14880686

>>14880702

PSP's burnout was shit. Car selection and race modes are all neutered. If you hit traffic from behind you crash (on the PSP it registered as "Traffic Check" and adds to your points) The only redeemable factor is the soundtrack..oh wait, it's heavily censored by EA.

>>14880696

The thing I like about Jet Moto is the physics of the bikes and waves. I just love drifting into people and knocking them off their bikes. Some circuits seem to be designed by a sadist.

>>14880735

There was a song about Ted Bundy with the bridge

>I've fallen down, my nose bleeding badly

I'm where you want me

Censored to

>I've fallen down,I've fallen badly

Other songs with titles about death were also censored by EA e.g in NFS Underground there was a song "To Hell We Ride" by Lostprophets being retitled "Ride"

They're far better games. I love that its music is composed by Jaqcues and Daivs, but it's vastly inferior to PGR.

I'm not the one recommending a shit port of Sega Rally 2.

>>14880735

I remember another one. The Main Menu track for NFS Underground "Get Low" by Lil Jon was heavily censored.

Completely pointless when you can just play 3 and Revenge. Specifically on OG Xbox where you can switch out the original emo-faggot proto-soy music.

Too bad it's the same shit music from Revenge.

i liked Split/Second's Michael Bay type soundtrack, now if only there was more of it and louder.

>>14880901

>>14880746

I still listen to Split/Second's OST from time to time. It's really nice. Shame it was killed before it got a sequel…

>>14880686

>>14880721

Burnout Dominator on PSP is actually pretty alright. It's the closest game in the series to Burnout 3, unlike fucking Revenge which spammed traffic check/time attack levels and squandered normal races on campaign mode.

>>14881244

I'll always lament that Maniac Mode is only in Dominator, also that it ends after a certain number of laps.

>>14881282

Oh normalfag tier Rock & Roll racing. Lame.

manual is just extra fun factor, you don't even need to look at the tachometer/dashboard because overheating doesn't exist and all you have to do is hear the engine roar and if you're going into a corner where you have to slow down, lower a gear to drive out fast.

>>14883313

Not particularly bad just slow and slow feeling.

Just wanna remind everyone that Sonic & All-StarS Racing Transformed is the shit.

>>14884401

I gotta slum it with the PS3 Daytona remake and the Dreamcast Daytona game. Sadly, that would mean to truly enjoy them I'd have to get two separate racing wheels for them.

>>14884895

There's the arcade leak version for PC as well

Oh shit I almost forgot.

PowerDrive 2000.

>>14879952

Ignore every retarded faggot posting EA trash games in this thread. The games you want are the games with Sega on them. F-Zero GX and Initial D Arcade Stage 6 or 7 especially. Need for Diapers and Wipeout (F-Zero for toddlers) need not apply.

>>14885032

Of course, the F-Zerofag starts shit yet again.

Fucking subhuman monkey.

>>14885040

The Daytona series (Minus the new one, it's western developed hot trash), Outrun series, or even Sega Rally would also be great choices too. Stop getting mad because I called EA games out as the refuse they are.

>>14885032

Even Nintendo thinks F-Zero is trash and it has a community that's like Sonic-lite in terms of autism levels.

>>14885067

If you're talking about Burnout, I'll have you know that EA had absolutely no participation in the development of Burnout 3 other than being a money pump for Criterion, as was demanded by the devs themselves.

As for the WipEout/F-Zero insinuations, don't even fucking start.

>>14885023

It's dead, check the kickstarter page

>>14885032

>Wipeout = F-Zero for toddlers

tbh it's the reverse.

>>14885032

Wipeout had a soundtrack, innovative high speed racing and pushed the limits for 3D racing far beyond your fucking watered down Mario Kart reskin you fucking double nigger.

>>14885101

they removed the burnout 3 soundtrack and replaced it with pop punk though

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hd21229SecA

>>14886511

and it's shitty pop punk, too. I was a stupid teen back then and I thought it was really cool. "Fuck yeah Finch!"

I guess EA Trax can become time capsules of what type of music were mainstream when the games were released

>>14886511

Download the OST from the original game then. It's not like they were removed through some sort of berestein bear time travel shit or something like that.

>>14886571

Is there a way to inject the original OST into the ISO? Someone did the same with MVC2 (for the PS2) replacing the music with dubstep and shit

>>14886616

No idea.

Now that I'm looking at it, this original OST sounds almost as passive as Burnout 2's, and that game's OST was pretty bland. They don't feel hype.

>>14886628

Yeah, I've never found the original Burnout songs to be very exciting. Tried enjoying them since they're all included in Burnout Paradise, but not feeling them.

What happened to /ocg/ anyway? I can't seem to find a thread.

>>14895841

The F-Zero series apexed with the god-tier GX. It's just not gonna get any better than that.

It's still a shame though. The Blue Falcon is the only iconic racing vehicle in all of vidya. Giving it some more sunshine in the limelight wouldn't hurt.

>>14882410

>>14883313

Isn't that rumored Star Fox Grand Prix game gonna play like this?

>>14895841

If F-Zero X ever gets a remake hopefully they include the track creating Expansion Pack 64DD version.

It was pretty surprising with the Wii U VC version of FZ:X to see Miiverse users complaining about the Expansion Pack add on should have been included. Good to see more Westerners want access to the best version of F-Zero X that the Japanese had.

>>14896315

Hey niggers, best Rush game coming through.

>>14897164

I want you to beat F-Zero GX you disgusting fag.

>>14897136

In most of the games you can turn weapons off and the AI gets faster to compromise.

>>14897176

Not that guy but the Sonic-tier autism the fanbase has is the most offputting thing about F-Zero. I get it, you grew up with Nintendo consoles and F-Zero was probably the only racing game you played for a long time, such to the point that when you played something different you judged it based on how similar to F-Zero it was and you find it confusing when others don't, but the reality is it's not really God's gift to the genre; there's not a huge amount separating F-Zero from 90% of the cabinet racers of the mid-90%.

>>14897176

Don't pretend F-Zero takes more skill either when the best players literally use glitches in the game to get ahead, like drifting + scraping against walls and jumps through holes in the invisible walls to hop from one section of the track to another.

>>14897212

The game doesn't take skill because the best players use glitches while they play it? Wipeout definitely takes more skill, but your argument doesn't make any fucking sense. The best players of tons of high-skill games exploit glitches while they play. Please explain to me how you get from "the best players use glitches to play the game" to "therefore, the game doesn't take skill to play".

>>14897212

Same with WipEout, atleast the old PSX versions. Also, there's this cool mod called GX Unleashed that nerfs the game for a better experience. Does WipEout have an active modding community?

>>14897236

Watch any lap record recording of GX. You're guaranteed to see wall bouncing them back onto the tracks and wallclipping through half the fucking scenery to skip parts of the tracks. Every single one of them.

>>14897250

>Same with WipEout

Gonna need proof of that because even if you slightly fly off the track you're spawned back on the track without any speed. The game were made to absolutely deny any clippinh. You're thinking of BallisticNG, which is a fangame full of wall clipping.

>>14897273

If you die in F-Zero you stop and respawn with only a quarter of your energy. Also, falling off the track id instant death, not just loosing some energy. I repeat, please stop talking out of your ass and come back after you beat F-Zero GX.

>>14897241

All this bullshit and you said nothing. "Corner cutting" after jumps literally allows you to skip corners entirely by spaceflying over them. None of the states even matter when you can just abuse the snaking exploit. You can get godlike handling just by making a custom ship with the lightest parts available, or a box that can outrun all the other racers with the heaviest parts. Even the fucking developers admitted that people weren't supposed to be using these exploits because they invalidate the actual game mechanics, you stupid nigger.

>>14897298

I repeat, that's why there's this swell mod called F-Zero GX Unleashed. Also if you feel booty bothered about these glitches, just tell the person you are playing with to not use those niggertier exploits.

>>14897288

>If you die in F-Zero you stop and respawn with only a quarter of your energy

In WipEout, even if falling off the track doesn't mean instant death, you lose shield power. If you lose all your shield, you die. No second chances. In the old games, the only way to recharge shield is to run through pitstop lanes near the finish line, which are often short and the recharge amount depends on how fast you're going. That puts even more reason for concern in surviving the race especially in the hardest difficulties.

Please stop talking out of YOUR ass without even knowing what you're comparing F-Zero to. You clearly haven't played WipEout either.

>>14897302

>Game needs a mod to fix its glaring bugs and exploits

Not doing you any favors.

>>14897311

Nigger, in the grand prix you don't get a second chance, I was talking about multiplayer. In grand prix you have a number of stocks, and falling off kills you. Come back when you can beat F-Zero, WipEout is baby shit when you compare it to F-Zero.

>barely any turning

>"it's super hard guize!!!1!"

>>14897325

> I was talking about multiplayer

The game over in WipEout is constant and definitive in all games. If you die, you lose, on any mode. It doesn't pat your head and give you a second chance even in multiplayer, hence why it's infamous for its difficulty. The sole fact that even the best players still scrape walls from time to time due to the technical skill needed to clear the tracks during races is testament that the games don't fuck around. Come back when you beat any of the games on Phantom Speed. Until then, your trash opinion means nothing.

>meanwhile, at F-Zero

>>14897345

>Talon's Reach

>Literally the first and easiest track of the game

Let me see you clear Spilskinanske or Silverstream, faggot.

>Meanwhile in F-Zero

>>14897354

I beat HD, Pure and Pulse, gold in all of the Phantom missions. If you run out of stocks you instantly lose even if you got the highest score in the roster. F-Zero GX was a struggle in the Diamond Cup even in the Newbie AI difficulty due to how tight it gets some times.

Okay then.

Check out this """strat""". Don't even need to race on the racetrack, just fly back around through the entire stage!

Hell it's hard to find a video of F-Zero where the player ISN'T using any exploits.

Meanwhile in WipEout.

>>14897390

>>14897435

He was literally talking about GX the entire time and said GX explicitly in several posts.

Glitches that can be exploited still prove nothing about skill ceiling.

And let's not forget the classic Zone Mode, which the speed limit is essentially infinite.

>>14897431

>Easiest track

And players STILL need to exploit it? That's hilarious.

>>14897435

If you want to play and want it to be fair, just put a big sign saying "NO STRATS ALLOWED" and the core problem is suddenly fixed. There's a reason F-Zero records are divided in strat and stratless versions, just like speedruns are divided in regular and TAS.

>>14897479

Wow speedrunning is so hilarious.

>>14897467

But it actually caps at some point though.

>>14897481

>NO STRATS ALLOWED

Not seeing anything "stratless" here.

https://fzerocentral.org/viewtopic.php?t=13710

>>14897490

The number caps, but it does keep increasing indefinitely.

>>14897479

Nobody "needs" to exploit anything. If anything, wouldn't people needing to exploit the game to beat it imply that it's more difficult? I don't think you really get the point you're trying to make. You have a boner for Wipeoput and a hateboner for F-Zero, and are grasping at every straw available to push that F-Zero is too easy to beat so people "need" to exploit glitches to play it (which makes no sense).

You keep pushing that the lack of glitch runs means Wipeout is harder, which also makes no sense; if it had the same class of glitches available, people would clearly still exploit them. It's not like people would think "this is too hard, so we shouldn't use glitches". That's not how speedrunning works.

Wipeout is a superior game, but your points are retarded.

Why does F-Zero having exploitable glitches mean the core game itself is easier?

Why does a separate category for glitch and glitchless runs imply anything about the base game difficulty?

Why would Wipeout not having the same glitches mean that the game itself is harder or better?

>>14897528

Holy fucking shit, you're retarded. Look right on the page. Notice the different categories? Maybe there's a link on the page that explains the restrictions for the different categories: https://fzerocentral.org/viewtopic.php?p=98906#98906

Oh, looks like you just didn't read it because you're fucking stupid, even skipping completely over the category that says "No Restrictions (Space Flying)". You must have fucking brain damage or something.

>>14897549

>wouldn't people needing to exploit the game to beat it imply that it's more difficult?

They exploit it because it gives them an advantage, you retard. If there's a glitch, people WILL abuse it, not because the game's hard, but because they can.

>hateboner for fzero

I'm combating it not because I hate it, but because of your autistic arrogance. Nobody was saying anything until the fzerofag picked a fight.

>lack of glitch runs means Wipeout is harder

More like the lack of glitches makes people play the game the way it was supposed to be played, unlike F-Zero.

>if it had the same class of glitches available, people would clearly still exploit them.

See the first point. And thankfully, it doesn't.

You keep trying to talk shit about the games because yours is apparently "better" because people can exploit it like it's a valid point for comparison. Your argument holds no weigh for the sole fact that you're counting on things that aren't supposed to be in the game as a "point". I'm reminding you that they're not.

>Why does F-Zero having exploitable glitches mean the core game itself is easier?

Because if you can skip the challenge entirely, then it's not a challenge.

Why does a separate category for glitch and glitchless runs imply anything about the base game difficulty?

Why do glitches have to be taken into consideration in the first place? Can you take a driving test where you follow rules and drive on streets, and one where you can ignore everything and pull a Tokyo Drift?

Why would Wipeout not having the same glitches mean that the game itself is harder or better?

Glitches don't make games better. It makes them exploitable, and thus easy through illicit means.

>Categories

I read them and each one literally picks which exploits are allowed and which aren't. The only "cheating" that's prohibited is turbo controllers, checkpoint skipping or outright using tools.

They use each exploit as a "cup", in case you're too retarded to read. "You can snake but not spacefly" and vice-versa, doesn't make a fucking difference because they're all still exploits, you fucking idiot.

>>14897614

Dude, the problem is fixed by just saying "NO EXPLOIT FUCKERY ALLOWED" to whoever you want to play with and it's all fine, sperg. If you don't like them in singleplayer, you can also play singleplayer the way it's meant. Nobody is forcing you to exploit. You are getting pissed at a non-issue that is fixed by a mod some dude made on the internet. Just calm down, nigger.

>>14897681

I just told you I'm discussing this with you because of the shittalking that was going on earlier, where I proved the fzerofag wrong. We just happen to be focused on the glitch aspect right now. Did you not read the reply chain, nigger?

>>14897720

The Vita failed because Sony deliberately chose to let it die for some absurd reason. It was revolutionary for a handheld.

Remaster or not, it was still brought back, you moron. Most of the original devs are on XDev now.

>>14897739

>The Vita failed because Sony deliberately chose to let it die for some absurd reason.

That reason was that they mismanaged the entire thing from having too high of a price for the system to exclusive SD cards that also cost absurd prices to having a very limited selection of games.

>It was revolutionary for a handheld.

How? You don't seem to be missing anything by picking up a Vita TV for a quarter of the price.

>Remaster or not, it was still brought back, you moron.

What logic is in play to make this comment? You're defending a remaster of three handheld games as if it's the next big installment to the series.

>Most of the original devs are on XDev now.

Who cares?

>>14897838

>How?

For the hardware and software, evident in the biggest titles that were made for it. I did get a PSTV for quarter the price for this reason.

>remaster

Sony uses them to both show that they don't neglect their original franchises, and gauge interest for actual new installments. I never said it was a big installment, but even a remaster of WipEout achieved what few other major titles did (10 titles out of 1765 total), with renewed online multiplayer too. That's a big investment even for a remaster.

>>14897838

Hey now, HD with HD Fury is a remaster of both Pure and Pulse, so it's technically a meta-remaster.

>>14897886

>For the hardware and software, evident in the biggest titles that were made for it.

I don't see having a mini-PS3 is much of an accomplishment if the battery life sucks, it has all these extra features that barely anyone uses, and it's doing nothing but inflating the price to the point that no one is going to buy it. You even saying that you bought a Vita TV as well puts the little cherry on top saying that Sony had no idea what the Hell they were doing. Also, as for the problem with having "big titles" for a handheld:

<In the world of console gaming, hardware power rules all, but that is not the case in the world of portable gaming. People look for how the game feels to the touch, and the physical properties of the device itself become extremely important.

https://archive.fo/o6EWm

>Sony uses them to both show that they don't neglect their original franchises, and gauge interest for actual new installments.

Why don't they just make a new game? It worked for Shadow of the Beast. Making another remaster is doing nothing to help sell the PS4 to anyone who hasn't already bought one. The PSN store for the PS3 is still up (With WipeOut HD Fury being playable in 1080p 60 FPS), and 2048 goes for $10 at GameStop.

>I never said it was a big installment, but even a remaster of WipEout achieved what few other major titles did (10 titles out of 1765 total)

Huh?

>with renewed online multiplayer too. That's a big investment even for a remaster.

The online servers for PS3 and Vita games are still active, therefore it is another redundancy.

>>14897973

>I don't see having a mini-PS3 is much of an accomplishment if the battery life sucks

>In the world of console gaming, hardware power rules all, but that is not the case in the world of portable gaming. People look for how the game feels to the touch, and the physical properties of the device itself become extremely important.

Yeah, the hardware is pretty taxing on the battery for obvious reasons. What's funny to me is that the Switch is basically the same thing and has even more ridiculous gimmicks than the Vita did but people are still buying it, because Nintendo didn't leave it to die, among other more caustic reasons.

It has all these extra features that barely anyone uses. You even saying that you bought a Vita TV as well puts the little cherry on top saying that Sony had no idea what the Hell they were doing.

I got the PSTV because it was cheaper and I didn't really need the touchscreen tech for the games I wanted to play (which carried a huge chunk of the total price). Also because 2048 with its glorious original engine sound effects is on it.

>Why don't they just make a new game?

Gauging interest. WipEout's always been sort of a niche franchise, and nowadays marketing is selling more than new games, unfortunately. However, the possibility hasn't been crossed out yet. While I agree that I'd really rather have a new game, I'm happy that the franchise is still alive and kicking. Hoping to hear news of a new game.

>The PSN store for the PS3 is still up (With WipeOut HD Fury being playable in 1080p 60 FPS), and 2048 goes for $10 at GameStop.

Sony's shut down PS3/Vita/PSTV production. Piracy for those consoles didn't expand as much as previous ones, so I don't know how many will still be around in a few years.

>Huh?

4k60fps. Adding to that it's a game that's nothing more than pure raw gameplay, straight up upgraded on the graphics department while keeping the gameplay the same (i.e. not mass-appealing), on top of bringing in newcomers who're interested in the genre.

>The online servers for PS3 and Vita games are still active

Not anymore. They're shutting them down, and HD's/2048's servers are offline already.

>>14897973

Omega Collection is actually cheap as heck. It only cost me 15 €.

>>14899477

>the Liverpool ones were good-ish but they aren't what made Wipeout Wipeout.

That might be because just before Wipeout 3 some of the original Wipeout devs like Nick Burcombe left Psygnosis. Then after that Sony bought Psygnosis outright, turned them into Sony Liverpool, and under new management cranked out the underwhelming Wipeout Fusion on PS2 (just before Nick Burcombe's new studio dropped their own anti-grav racer Quantum Redshift on OG Xbox). After Fusion under performed, Sony relegated Wipeout to handhelds and soft-rebooted the franchise with Pure

What are some good PC racing games?

>>14896419

>If [the Blue Falcon] appeared it more games it would be.

It seriously is the only one. Unless you can name another iconic racing vehicle in video gaming, be my guest. The Blue Falcon first appeared on the Super Famicom way back in 1990, and has since remained as Captain Falcon's iconic blue ride in the 28 years afterwards. It has even made cameo appearances in franchises other than its own (namely other Nintendo properties, like Mario Kart or Smash Bros.), but [and here's the important bit] even gamers who never played F-Zero could immediately recognize it right away. Not even wipEout vehicles or other F-Zero vehicles have This kind of instant recognizabilty that the iconic Blue Falcon does.

>>14900113

You're mad and you're projecting your adolescent experience on others; even discounting people who didn't have nintendo consoles growing up, try asking anyone under the age of about 26-28 what a blue falcon is and watch the blank faces. Soccer is watched by over a billion people worldwide yet I can't name a single player, you're truly delusional if you think the blue falcon is "iconic" to anyone other than it's niche audience. In the genre of racing you like F-Zero and probably only F-Zero. You don't really like racing games yet you'd probably say that F-Zero is the pinnacle of racing games. You'd probably say F-Zero is the most challenging yet have no frame of reference because you really only play F-Zero. You'd probably say F-Zero is the fastest but you have no frame of reference because you have only really played F-Zero. You are a patriot to a game that you have nostalgia for and nothing else.

Distance is supposedly leaving early access this year, but it's a small studio where probably everyone works second jobs to make ends meet so that's not a guaranteed thing.

Hopefully Nintendo announces more details on this Starfox racing game at E3, I'm hoping it'll be a crossover with F-Zero and possibly Metroid since they share an expanded universe. new F-Zero never ever

>Hopefully Nintendo announces more details on this Starfox racing game at E3, I'm hoping it'll be a crossover with F-Zero and possibly Metroid since they share an expanded universe.

There was a rumor for quite a while that Nintendo had a Star Fox and Metroid crossover in development, but I forget the actual credibility the claim had. Also, where does it say that F-Zero and Metroid exist in the same universe?

>new F-Zero never ever

And, you can thank Miyamoto for that: https://archive.li/6qkET#selection-1037.0-1037.436

>>14900427

The only connection SF and F-Zero have is the Space Dynamics company and their G-Diffusor anti-grav tech in Arwings and F-Zero race machines. Then there's the weird (animal) James McCloud/deceased(?) founder of Starfox and with F-Zero's (human with spiky hair that resemble fox ears) James McCloud/Galaxy Dogs mercenary unit. With Space Dynamics are they the same company or just two separate companies with the same name in an alt universe?

F-Zero and Metroid (so far) have had no references to one another outside of both being having futuristic sci-fi settings (with Metroid being more serious and F-Zero being more laid back and over the top). They could fit together better than Star Fox yet Nintendo never bothered. No Galactic Federation buildings near F-Zero tracks, no shared obscure planets, no mention of Space Pirates stealing pirating? live broadcast F-Zero race footage.

>Trusting game journalists.

That was your first mistake.

>>14900659

>According to who?

Well if you're gonna use those examples, you already invalidated yourself. First off, the third article is ok (it mostly has cars from actual racing games) but the first two aren't very good. They talk about iconic vehicles "in general". The problem with not specifying it to racing games only is that then, you get odd choices like Halo's slow ass Scorpion tank. Or vehicles that were just meant to explore like Chrono Trigger's Epoch. Or vehicles like the Sweet Tooth van that aren't from typical racing games, but "vehicular combat" arena games.

From your lists, these are the vehicles that are from actual racing games:

Mario's go-kart (Mario Kart), Max Damage's Red Eagle (Carmageddon somewhat), GT Citroen (Gran Turismo 5), Suzuki Escudo (Gran Turismo), McLaren MP4-12C (nuNeed for Speed: Most Wanted), The 4x4 (Super Off Road somewhat), The Hornet (Daytona), BMW M3 GTR (Need for Speed: Most Wanted), Ferrari Testarossa (Cruis'n USA), Lancia (Sega Rally), Lamborghini Diablo (Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit), R34 Skyline (Gran Turismo)

The other vehicles in your lists come from games where racing other cars around a track is Not the main focus of their respective games. Not only that, but some have only appeared in less than 3 games (or perhaps just ONCE, in the case of Final Fantasy 15's Regalia) and yet, you still somehow regard them as equally/more iconic than the Blue Falcon.

According to your lists, if vehicles that aren't from racing games can be considered iconic, if vehicles only need to star in One game to be considered iconic, then the Blue Falcon is (by that logic) iconic by a long shot.

>it starred in at least 6 racing games

>was popular enough to make a cameo in another racing series (mario kart)

>is an original design and not a mere recreation of a real world car, like a ferrari or lamborghini

>is 28 years old and older than most of your lists' entries

Very qualified indeed.

Granted, some vehicles from non-racing games (like the Warthog cameos in Forza games) do occasionally star in actual racing games sometimes. And some non-racing games (like racing in GTA games) do include racing as a subfeature to their games. But as far as iconic racing vehicles produced from the racing genre are concerned, to exclude the legendary Blue Falcon just doesn't make much sense.

>>14900493

Thanks for not countering a single one of my points. I love that every single racing thread get's destroyed by an autistic F-Zero fanboy.

>>14896733

Isn't there some WRC series that's still going on?

>>14896819

It's funny, yeah, I remember there was a guy who did that. In Dirt Rally and 4 they are really important, so much that if I can't hear them I can't play.

>>14880721

Sadist track you say? Are you talking about the damn roller coaster then anon as trust me playing that course on the max difficulty was only a experience one had to realize first hand.

>>14903013

Initial D6

man it sucks to be stuck on a laptop, it has a dedicated GPU but I really doubt it can run that

>>14903309

Man I'm so fucking tired of Eurobeat memes. I used to like it years ago but ever since normalfags found it they've run it into the ground. It's fucking everywhere now.

>>14903724

dunno since toys are going out of fashion but there needs to be something like auto modellista for pc, even better if there's online multiplayer where you can win parts off rival players

>>14903796

just gotta learn to stop being so contrarian and start enjoying things again

i wish eurobeat was everywhere so dave can finally afford a new orange cuore after being in the business for close to four decades

Which racing game has the sexist cars?

>>14905243

It's not realistic, there's no turbulences, I never capsize and many ships just aren't aerodynamic at all.

>>14904983

Outrun 2006.

>>14902112

Yeah, WRC gets released each year. They're OK, but limited by the yearly license as far as cars and tracks. I do enjoy the concept of extremely long rally stages introduced in the recent game.

What are some games with good drifting? Bonus points for no Initial D

>>14906590

FlatOut 2.

>>14906590

Burnout 3.

>>14879952

I remember Hot Wheels Turbo Racing being pretty solid back in the day, mixing kart style racing (in that you have items and such to pick up and use) with stunting to gain turbos to use as you wish. The more risky/complex a single stunt, the more turbos gained from it

>>14896819

Reminded me of this

>>14906520

WRC 7? extremely long rally sounds interesting

>>14906760

It's about 10-15 minutes of a single race. I dread tackling them with realistic damage.

>>14906819

Any news on Dakar 18?

>>14907057

it'll be at E3 or it'll be cancelled

>>14906590

Split/Second

Crash Team Racing

>>14907717

F-ZERO has weight too, it's just not hidden. Also capsizing on F-ZERO happens and it usually means instant death.

>>14907717

I mean actual capsizing, flipping over completely if your skill is too poor.

>>14907848

Actual capsizing only happens in maritime sports Anon.

Sega Rally Championship in the arcades with the wheel, I'm not sure if it's a nostalgia factor but it's the only rally racing game I've ever enjoyed

>>14907949

I think you vastly overestimate the seriousness of F-Zero in comparison to Wipeout.

>>14907957

I thought the topic was the "realistic" aspect of AG racers?

>>14907962

My mistake.

>>14907962

If they were realistic the driver would pass out and dile a lot due to G-Force.

>>14908136

Whiplash/redout/whiteout due to G-Force can occur in any high speed sport. But since we're talking futuristic racing, the ships can very well have cockpits kept perfectly still through quantum entanglement, as represented in the VR webm I posted. Such technology is currently very close to leaving theoretical stage in real life.

>>14908166

>whiteout

I mean greyout.

>>14908166

What are you even talking about?

>>14908220

Too long to type it here. Basically, you can lock something in place in a magnetic field through quantum locking. If you design a cockpit that's "connected" to the rest of the ship with this principle, anything that happens to the ship won't be felt by the pilot, effectively negating G-Forces.

That's too cool, anon. A shame we wont witness real Antigrav-Racing in our lifetime; Have a neat model viewer I stumbled upon for your trouble.

Oh yeah that's a lovely model viewer. Good ol' Cold Storage music.

>>14908261

>F-1 got cucked due to "muh G-Force"

>Still no F-1 cars with this futuristic cockpit thing.

>>14908630

F1's always been cucked. The old farts in charge of the show always banned innovation. Fan cars, ground-effect designs, better-than-standard engines, and so on. So much cool shit has been banned in the past that the sport's barely fun anymore. It became a spec series, which is fucking sad because F1 started as a competition of engineers and new ideas, rather than just racing. IndyCar is way better now. Knowing F1, they'll probably ban anything quantum-related the moment it becomes usable too.

Also, F1 was bought by a mass media corporation a while ago, which promised that the sport will "evolve for maximum audience appeal" and basically become more of an fancy TV show than an actual racing series. Funnily enough, WipEout's lore predicted this exact event like 16 years ago.

>>14908672

Normalfags don't like to see ditto races like F-1, if you put wacky cars or vehicles they'll fucking love it.

>>14908261

>>14908166

That wouldn't stop a pilot from experiencing g-force because you need g-force for acceleration. Whether the cockpit is physically attached or held in place through quantum levitation wouldn't make a difference. I'm sure they have some technology in-game that hand-waves it but we don't have any real world equivalent that we know of yet.

>>14908687

My normalfag friends love F1 but they're car enthusiasts so maybe they're not representative.

>>14908766

Show your normalfag friends something about Blancpain, Pirelli World Challenge, Super GT or whatever GT class you fancy and watch them drop F1 like it never mattered

>>14908766

>I'm sure they have some technology in-game that hand-waves it but we don't have any real world equivalent that we know of yet.

There are magnets around the cockpit that counteract most of the forces from the ship's movement that are applied to its insides (including the pilot's G suit) by , mostly cancelling them out, like a car with really good suspensions going over rocky terrain. That's the application of quantum mechanics people are trying to reach. In theory, if it can neutralize Earth's gravitational pull, it can cancel out any form of G-Force.

>>14908766

I don't know a single normalfag that's into cars or racing sims.

>>14908687

100% agreed, I'm a huge fan of the Dirt, Grid, Gran Turismo, and Burnout series and don't like F1 because it's just the one car. Shit I'm a normalfag.

>>14909149

You're going to love this then

>>14906819

I bought Gravel on sale and I really did not enjoy the handling, I played the demo and I thought I enjoyed it.

But after trying more of what the game has to offer I was not having fun.

>>14909149

Dude you are not a normalfag, just not a sperg.

It's alright, like Burnout 3 with more realism.
