Sim, arcade, simcade, anything. I'm kinda disconnected from the genre and want to know what is considered the GOATs of racing games to try them out.

Me personally, I'd say Dirt Rally 2, very addicting gameplay.

I don't typically go for racing games, but I have fond memories of playing Extreme-G on the N64. It had wepons, high speeds, and a soundtrack that tricked a young me into thinking I might like techno music.

Any AG racing fans in here?

BalisticNG is my latest main game, but my love began with the WipEout series.

I also enjoy Redout and Redout 2, but the lack of weapons means I can only go so long before needing to play WipEout or BNG again.

Obligatory mention of !ballisticng@sopuli.xyz

Redout 1 and 2 are great fun if I'm in the mood for lap times, but I hate racing against the NPCs.

[–] cfi@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Major fan hear. BallisticNG is such a love letter to WipEout, its fantastic

I don't know if it counts, but for me it's Distance

[–] SolarPunker@slrpnk.net 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Every racing game not trying to sim stupid cars is gold these days.

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 10 months ago

I really enjoyed some Xbox game called "quantum redshift" and I've been trying to capture that feeling ever since. VR game called Redoubt gets close.

GT3 had the right amount of advanced and customization without going overboard or being too realistic. It was my sweet spot.

Nobody is calling either game GOATs, but I personally really like Sonic Riders Zero Gravity and Cartoon Network Racing.

What was that older one now, with the biggest game map in the world at the time? I think dirt.

Very beautiful atmospheric game with a lonely feel but fun driving
