Cool idea OP

MSR is the precursor to Project Gotham Racing I think, which is also a precursor to Forza.

Remember slow in, fast out unless you're driving a AWD/4WD then you're fucking fast all the time.

>R: Racing Evolution

I heard this game actually has a story/plot to it. Is it any good? Is it decently engrossing and developed or is it just like 10 second cutscenes every few races?

And are there more racing games with stories other than that Square PSX one?

>is it just like 10 second cutscenes every few races?

Still need to get further into the game (Which is why I made this thread, and I didn't want to self-bump it), but it looks like it's this case, where there's a one minute cutscene between each event.

>>16702518

Ridge Racer Type 4 has 4 storylines, one per racing team you can join, but it's not a very long game in that regard.

>Also, would playing other "sim" games like MSR help at all in learning how to better play it?

MSR is simcade at best. It's more focused on drifting and "stylish" driving.

Also, if you enjoyed Sonic R's music, then you'll really love MSR**

Not quite; MSR is indeed a prequel to PGR, but for awhile Forza was its own thing as PGR 3 and 4 came out. Then Bizarre sold themselves to Activision and Microsoft kept the rights to PGR, buried it, and just doubled down on Forza

>Remember slow in, fast out

How do I do that? So far, the closest that I can think of is just flooring the car all the way, let off the gas when nearing a turn, brake if turning to wide, and then floor it again when [nearing] the end of a turn.

Heard the same thing about R:RE, which I why I figured that it would be a good idea to have MSR accompany it (Although, there are some obvious differences in actually playing them).

Just tried this last night while playing the game, and it illeviated so many frustrations I had and started having fun.

Any good racing games that came out in 7th gen? They can be console exclusive, just don't recommend me gran autismo or forza, they suck forza horizon 1 is alright though.

>>16706909

Anything specific?

>>16706909

Wreckfest

Assetto Corsa

But they're more PC/sim oriented. I don't know shit about current console racing games. God I wish there was a current gen Motorstorm, Pacific Rift style, but it would probably be pozzed as shit.

>>16709410

That's mainly because arcade games have spoiled me (And perhaps everyone that doesn't pay attention to real racing) to where I can enter turns at any angle and speed, and come out of it unscathed.

I wish the servers for racing games on the PS3 stayed up longer. Never got around to touching Burnout Paradise or Motorstorm Apocalypse.

>>16723268

EA re-released Paradise a while ago in HD and including that expansion that added a new island. the catch is that you need Origin for the PC version

>>16723287

Well that defeats the purpose of touching that version. Which reminds me, can I still pirate games just fine regardless if they have Origin or UPlay DRM?

What are some good games I might have missed that are just fun to drive? GTA and Forza horizon are best for this, what else is there?

>>16724029

I guess those truck games and Rebel Galaxy.

Okay, I can definitely confirm, R:RE and MSR are very different despite being simcades.

>>16706909

>Any good racing games that came out in 7th gen?

Fuel , Pure, Split/Second, Blur, FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage, Race Driver: GRID, Sega Rally Revo, Burnout, Project Gotham Racing, The Fast and the Furious, Outrun 2006, and Speed Racer.

There are also Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity, Wipeout, and Fatal Inertia if you want zero-G racing.

>>16723374

Sure you can. Most of those games aren't cracked though because it's mostly online-centric content to push lootboxes.

>>16702518

R Racing Evolution was made by the Ace Combat team basically, so yes.
