pretty good list, although I prefer earlier Rush rush 2049 felt like a lame ripoff version of Motorhead which itself is was a early Need for speed knockoff set in generic california speed future world

Driver76 remake never ever

Simcade is best, midnight club 2 had it pretty close to peak balance with arcadey elements in gameblay like nitrous and drafting being basically mario kart mushrooms, in midnight club 3 cars feel like unstoppable bricks that brush off cars like you hit a traffic cone, MC 2 cars got unstable and lost traction when you went on unstable terrain, theyd understeer or get squirelly and loose round corners, if they RWD you could gracefully glide like keichi, when you went off a jump you werent some magical instrument from the force of god that was going to land square on the ground at 160 mph and drive off like nothing happened, your car at least pretended it just had all 4 of its wheels of the ground and was airborne and you hopped and lost traction and if careless would flip or spinout after landing

Download redream and play it right now.

https://redream.io/download

Make sure to get the Dreamcast bios also or the game won't load.

>>16310008

I actually like Fortune Island compared to Great Britain because it has much better vertical range. I really hate the Playlist feature though, it feels like the game is becoming a chore.

>>16310074

Why use an emulator when you have a real Dreamcast to play the games on?

>>16310118

>Plus he cucked out and whined about the Christchurch shooting.

That was the news article putting words into his mouth and saying things he never said, jackass.

>>16310102

Because it sounded like that anon didn't have a DC or the game anymore.

you're thinking of extreme-g. it was pretty good. i love rally games and have been playing dirt rally pretty much constantly since it came out. goddamn i love that game

This is how I thought for 5 years after I picked up this game. Good taste, anon.

>>16310111

Beetle Adventure Racing is legitimately great, I love the course design and I've never seen a game do shortcuts/hidden areas better.

>>16310443

Not to keep banging on about it, but Dirt Rally has car classes from the 60s, 70s and 80s, and one of the things I really like about DR is that the cars all feel markedly different from one another, so you can tell when you're driving the 60s Renault vs the 80s BMW, insofar as weight distribution, gear ratio etc go

>>16310464

What makes GX good is how you can trick the physics in ways other racing games won't let you, but I've been playing a lot of Sega Rally so I get what you're saying.

How do I git gud at GX?

>>16310533

The game isn't too hard tbh but you need to be precise with the controls and know where to use your boosts.

Learn how to use sharp turns (hold L+R) and how to regain speed afterwards, it needs to be done quickly. Multiplex is a good track to practice.

>>16310387

I was going to play R4 yesterday after listening to Time Extend, but I got distracted with pirating Ferrari Challenge.

I want to play Forza 4 but my 360 controller broke and it's not available on xbone. FM6 is shit, cars feel like boats, it's just a slog to play, to boot up, to start races it takes way too long.

THAT FUCKING ANNOYING BITCH THAT ANNOUNCES EVERY GODDAMN RACE!!

GTA V keeps crashing on me it's a good driving game, I only added 1 modded car and it's unstable it crashes 15 minutes in.

>>16310001

>>16310029

ug2 has a completely neutered sense of speed compared to underground, they remove all fancy effects that actually emulated speed to the point that the only thing kept is camera shake during drag races

do a race with a fully upgraded car featured in both ug1 and ug2 (i.e. focus) in underground 2, then do a race in the same fully upgraded car in underground 1 and tell me that underground 1 isn't 3x as fast

I'm for some reason I can't explain playing through Quantum Rush Champions, the game isn't actually that bad but then it throws challenges that you can't get a gold medal on, at-least not in any way that I can figure that doesn't involve some serious luck / metagaming bullshit / cheating straight up.

There's a group working on a tool that'll allow for custom levels across Underground 2, MW, Carbon and a few others. They're also going to support NFS World which is the first time I've heard of a game that the developer killed completely, that fans not only resurrected but are also adding modding support to.

>>16313079

Burnout has some cheeky moments where traffic rides in through the corner, like through the invisible walls that forbid you from going straight or in the opposite direction of the turn, and you can end up T-boning them if you're too close to the outer wall. Burnout has some challenge to it since it has plenty of spots in the track itself where you can get crash your teeth straight into at high speed, like pillars and wall corners.

The HD Remaster of Daytona 1 is great.

Daytona 3 or Championship or whatever you want to call it is just horrible. Even on a real cabinet.

>digital foundry

I like them alright. All the information of someone like Jeremy Parish without the unwarranted digs at Trump that just take you out of him talking about a game called Trump Boy II.

>>16318959

Digital Foundry is fine for the most part and the DF retros videos are really great to watch, they just work for a very shitty gaming site known as Eurogamer.

>>16318959

>>16319552

>listening to Cuckoldnauts in CY+4

So how's GRID 2? Worth playing?

>>16323560

No, unless you want to become a guiderail connoisseur. The cars drift at the slightest turn like they're slipping on banana peels.

>>16312865

>It throws challenges that you can't get a gold medal on, at-least not in any way that I can figure that doesn't involve some serious luck / metagaming bullshit / cheating straight up

Actually scratch that, there's one I just stumbled across that I can't even get near the required time even while cheating.

It's just straight up fucked, since there's a challenge on the same track that require one lap in 40 seconds for the gold but that one requires you to do three damn laps in 1:30 and the best I can get is 34 seconds on a single lap and that's already fucking hard to get at all, 3 in a row gets hairy but I just did it but going 4 fucking seconds faster per lap is just not doable.

Is there anything similar to Burnout Takedown? Paradise sucked dick.

>>16325901

There's that game made by ex Burnout devs but it's fairly barebones

>>16325912

Dirty Driving? Wasn't it epic games exclusive? I can wait a year to plunder

>>16325914

Danger Zone 1 & 2

Both have a scene release up to the latest patch.

Lovely stuff WEBM anon.

are any of the modern f-zero clones any good? I want to go really fucking fast, and a good online multiplayer is a plus

>>16328569

>are any of the modern f-zero clones any good?

Depends on if you mean AG racing in general or specifically Fzero style.

If it's the former then meh but depending on how tolerant you are you might find one that you enjoy.

If it's the latter no the closest you'll get to actual Fzero is an early access ripoff of GX with a track editor but it looks like ass.

>>16340510

>The "Anti-Gravity" aspect applies only the horizontal.

>Basically have invisible wheels.

What I loved about the classic ps1/n64 Wipeouts was that you were basically sending a small number of inputs to a physics object in a fully 3D world, if they'd have been released today they'd be thought of as clunky shovelware, but somehow they made it work. 90% of "Anti-Gravity" racers today, including most of the SL Wipeouts are really just rallycross games with a sci-fi paintjob.

>>16340510

>Wipeout rip-off

Thats because its made from the same people who made wipeout.

this is my all time favorite

i also like Wreckfest, but it's visible that it came out slightly rushed after publisher became impatient (completely pathetically 'flat' damage points/durability system, despite the work impressive soft body visual damage model; not being able to license good music for a game where atmosphere matters, non-existant marketing on game's release etc.), which is unfortunate for 6-10 years of work put into it.

>>16340649

There's exactly one guy in the dev team who worked on wipeout, and he's just a concept artist.

Are there any driving games centered on buying and repairing shitheaps? I hate supercar autism and don't really care if I'm videogame driving the 'fastest car ever made so cool' and want something about a sense of personal attachment to a car.

For example, I really liked Jalopy, but it's more of a short gameplay vignette than a complete game.

First person pov is pretty much a must.

>>16341227

Isn't that basically what My Summer Car is?

>>16340510

How does it play?

Is it less shit than Redout?

Dangerous Driving isn't good, you have to use (((spotify))) to get actual music in the game and you can't turn off the bloom or the motion blur plaguing the game.

>>16341308

Never tried at My Summer Car because it looked like generic early access garbage - is it in a reasonable condition for play right now?

>>16346134

I mean it basically has the whole building a car and taking care of it part, if you're not sure just grab a copy off cs.rin.ru it has the last update.

>>16345658

Just launch your music player and leave it in the background then?

>>16340510

>make Wipeout ripoff

>trailer has generic orchestral music instead of techno

>>16346290

That's not the same as what Burnout did. On the original Xbox, in games like Takedown and Revenge your custom music would sound integrated and mixed in the game. A new track would play whenever you switched menus or start a race. The volume also fluctuated depending on what was going on in the game. It also helped that the series had mostly awful emasculating pop punk and emo songs playing by default and it greatly improved the game when you had a custom metal playlist instead.

Fag shit like embed related did not fit Burnout at all.

>>16348339

They didn't include music because they didn't have the music to license any, and maybe none to make any either.

Some songs from Burnout 3 were fine like, 5 or 6, but comparatively speaking, the original songs made by Stephen Root and Steve Emny weren't great either.

play spyhunter, it's bretty gud

>>16348365

But you have to be a mongoloid to not allow to play music from a local directory and have to use a retarded service to circumvent that, GTA 4 and previous burnout games on the XBOX allowed you to have custom music.

I've been trying to play NFS High Stakes through Wine, but it crashes every time I start it. Is there something I could do about it?

https://pastebin.com/RfH63HDd

>>16348911

Why not play the PS1 version?

>>16348631

>But you have to be a mongoloid to not allow to play music from a local directory and have to use a retarded service to circumvent that

Don't have to pay licensing fees for codecs (would amount to probably 1-2 bucks per copy) that way and you might even get compensated by spotify for bringing people to their platform.

>>16348949

Are there major differences between the two?

>>16349124

Looking it up, apparently the PC version is a basically an updated NFS3: Hot Pursuit, meanwhile the PS1 version is severely updated and has numerous additional features and options.

>>16349141

I looked it up and the difference is enormous. PC also has a better damage system which affects performance and uses separate 3D models for damaged parts rather than just textures.

Just bid on a Negcon, this is gonna get weird.

>>16349012

>you might even get compensated by spotify for bringing people to their platform

That'd make sense if the Spotify support was good. I'm not surprised the custom music in Dangerous Driving sucks, custom music in Burnout hasn't been good since 3.

Retarded question. But any racing games that have a sense of a progression? I mean like a campaign or something. I know that track races and what not somewhat counts.

>>16349198

Gran Turismo, Project Cars, and the Assetto Corsa series all have pretty good progression to them as you work up from little road cars to formula machines in a variety of events.

>>16349198

Metropolis Street Racer and Project Gotham Racing had decent progression systems in their campaigns. Ridge Racer 4 also has arguably the greatest single player campaign in any racer, at least when it comes to arcade ones.

>>16349214

>>16349226

Thanks anons. Appreciated.

Serious question, how do I get into professional racing? Even if I don't become a millionaire I'd still like to make a living off racing.

>>16351262

Man I love Split/Second's soundtrack, if only for the like 2 minutes it ever plays during races.

>>16351331

It's a shame for everything that came out during that general time period. Hell, we might even be seeing it again with Dangerous Driving, OnRush and such.

Who knew combining racing with Michael Bay would be so satisfying in the first place?

>>16351438

In a perfect world, they both could have existed. Split/Second for all the EXPLOSIONS was much more good driving driven than Burnout's more aggressive model.

Blur can come along too, sure.

I decided to replay NFS Hot Pursuit 2. Are there any essential mods like High Stakes' Expansion Pack?

Also, are recent (post MW2012) NFS games worth playing? I never paid much attention to them so I have no idea if they're any good.

>>16349012

>>16349184

There's no reason the devs couldn't have added support just for free codecs such as ogg and flac. Probably they're just greedy kikes and made some kind of deal with Spotify, or maybe they were just too lazy to add custom soundtracks and it would only be polishing a steaming turd anyways.

>>16358314

Probably a little bit of all three. They made it Epic store exclusive and the game is just OK.

>>16359387

>the game is just OK.

The mere abscence of any form of soundtrack in what is supposed to be an almost direct sequel to Burnout 3, is more than enough to make it not OK at all. And that's far from being the only problem with the game.

>>16359481

Maybe I'm just too burned on recent game licenced soundtracks recently, but not having one is better than an outright shitty one.

Fuck you Forza Horizon 4.

>>16359516

Valid point, but I meant it not even having the option of just setting up a directory with your own songs in .ogg or .flac. (((Spotify))) doesn't really count.

I know it's possible to just play your soundtrack in the background on a media player but it's not the same: >>16348339

Anyways, the lack of music options is far from being the only thing wrong with the game so it's kind of moot at this point.

>>16345658

so i took a bullet for all you faggots, here's what i think of DD.

>graphics are nice enough not to be too distracting from the rest of the game

>its fast

>most of the original burnout modes are back

-car models don't get crushed at crash, they only add some bump maps to make it look like the car is dent a bit but i don't any issue with that since the game was made by only 7 people

-if you're in a looped track your takedowns don't disappear, they stay on the track.

-no ost so i generally just play burnout 2 ost in the background

-traffic vehicles placed/spawn on random. in B2, 3, 4 traffic is placed so you can avoid it if you know where and what type of vehicles spawn, so you might be going through a turn and then there's a semi in your face and its unavoidable.

-tracks are OK at best.

<bloom… i mean the fucking sun bull blind you.

<cars feel floaty. it feels like im driving a hover vehicle. this is also noticeable during crashes. the second the car crashes it just comes to a dead stop, like the car his 0 momentum

<car goes though turns EASILY without drifting.

<drifting is retarded to execute, your car has to be turning hard then you tab the break button. in previous games it was either you turn and break simultaneously. or break then turn that works too or turn a tiny tiny tiny but and hit the break that would make your car drift as well, but in this game no no no your car has to be in full turn first then and only then it can drift.

>>16359575

This. Besides the abscence of soundtrack, these are the things that bugged me:

>tracks are OK at best.

- Track layout and design feels extremely generic and uninspired. The track layouts feel more like a modern NFS game than Burnout, with many segments not very suitable for drifting or takedowns. Landscapes/scenery feel extremely generic and lifeless, and mostly remain the same over the entire track - unlike Burnout tracks, which are full of unique areas/locations and once you're familiar with them, you can point which part of the track it is just by looking at the scenery in a screenshot.

>traffic vehicles placed/spawn on random.

- Yes, in fact one of the first things I've noticed when I started playing was the AI traffic RNG fuckery. It really bothered me a lot and they ruin some events. For the same event, sometimes you'll do races with barely any traffic, other times you'll be racing through rush hour traffic. Getting gold on lap time attack events is more a matter of luck than skill because of it, since after doing a perfect run, you have to keep praying that a bus won't spawn right in the middle of your racing line on the last turn before the finish line.

>bloom… i mean the fucking sun bull blind you.

- This also was an occasional issue in Burnout 3 and especially Revenge and Dominator, but only in a few select segments of a few tracks. In DD it's fucking everywhere all the time, obscene amounts of glare and bloom both in the horizon and track surface that sometimes you can't even see where the fuck you're going much less the incoming traffic. And it becomes exponentially worse when combined with the weird angle used in the 3rd person external camera, which is too low and close to the road.

>cars feel floaty. it feels like im driving a hover vehicle.

- Exactly my impression. Physics are completely effed up. Too floaty, almost like an antigravity racer. Feels like they have 0 contact with the track surface. Drifting isn't as stable, solid or fun like in Burnout.

- Hit detection when hitting guard rails / track walls also feels totally off. Sometimes I'd hit a guardrail almost at a perpendicular angle at very high speeds, and my car just bumped and redirected in the tracks direction without losing much speed. In other occasions I'd hit walls in a much smoother angle at lower speeds, and triggered a crash.

>car models don't get crushed at crash, they only add some bump maps to make it look like the car is dent a bit

- Also in road rage mode, your car won't suffer any sort of visual damage after you suffer a takedown, unlike in Burnout. Now that's a minor nitpick for me, but still, it adds up.

>if you're in a looped track your takedowns don't disappear, they stay on the track.

- Actually I liked this tbh, probably only positive thing I'd have to say about the game

tl;dr: game is very unfinished and should have remained in development for at least 1 more year, or released in Early Access status through Steam. So much for Epic Store supposedly having better quality control than Steam, this is clearly an unfinished game.

>>16359575

>-car models don't get crushed at crash, they only add some bump maps to make it look like the car is dent a bit but i don't any issue with that since the game was made by only 7 people

Specifically on this point they said it was because they didn't want to bother doing soft body physics because they knew they weren't gonna get a satisfying result and it would end up costing them way too much anyway
