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.
Trackmania
Rallye Racing 97
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.
Major fan hear. BallisticNG is such a love letter to WipEout, its fantastic
Great topic for discussion.
Pole Position
Gran Tourismo
Road Rash
R.C. Pro-Am
Mario Kart
Jet Moto
Go Go HyperGrind
I don't know if it counts, but for me it's Distance
Every racing game not trying to sim stupid cars is gold these days.
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.
GOAT: F-zero GX
Best kart: sonic and all stars racing transformed
Best drifter: inertial drift
Best arcade: track mania turbo
Best Car Combat: Gas Guzzlers extreme
GT3 had the right amount of advanced and customization without going overboard or being too realistic. It was my sweet spot.
Burnout 2: Point of impact (got me into burnout) Burnout paradise Split/second
ACC, rFactor
Mario kart 8 deluxe and super tux kart
Rush 2, but just the stunts track
Road trip adventure for the ps2
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
