Mine is Forza Horizon 4, but i’m hype for The Crew Motorfest!
Does Mario Kart count? It’s probably the best game to play with friends of different skill levels.
Also the older need for speed games up to undercover.
Cruisin USA baby!
But seriously, nothing compared to Forza 4 for me. The detail of the cars, the Top Gear commentary, and it was my first game I got with my Xbox 360. Just amazing.
Honorable mention for POD Planet of Death on Windows 95. Its super old but at the time it looked amazing and has a super cool aesthetic and rad soundtrack.
Mario Kart Wii or BeamNG.drive
Stunts (1990, DOS) is what has stayed with me the most. Crappy graphics, unrealistic controls even for its time, buggy physics (a wrong move could launch you into the stratosphere) but for some reason we stayed up all night taking turns trying to shave one more second off the lap record on our favorite track.
Oh yes!! I immideatly thought of this game, but couldn’t remember the name. Maybe one of my most played game…
And you also could design your own tracks!
Did you ever play Chuck Yeager’s Air Combat? That was the flight sim of the same era that gave me similar vibes.
This was the first Flight Simulator I played with an analogue stick. This blew my mind and I had to have a PC! I only used digital Joysticks up until then.
No, I never heard of that game…
But some time later I got a new PC with a CD Rom drive and with it came Need for Speed 3 (I think…).
We designed a track, tried to log the best time we could and brought them to school on a disk the next day. Exchanged disks and tried to beat our buddies time. It always was super exciting trying our buddies creations and to see if the PB was beaten. You always had to wait a day for the results. Asynchronous Multiplayer :-)
Trackmania
I love race sims, but I always come back to Trackmania!
Need For Speed Underground 2. Just the right vibes and level of customization to keep me playing through the entire campaign without getting bored
Yeah, that’s definitely one of my favorites too.
🎶 Riders on the storm 🎶
such a good game
I don’t play a lot of it, but I feel like NFS Most Wanted & NFS Undergtound 2 has always been my favorite!
I wonder how should I buy this game, I don’t think it’s sold anywhere online, I can only pirate it…
Kind shoutout to NFS: Hot Pursuit
Sim: iRacing
Out of recent games Need for Speed Unbound. GOAT is between Burnout 3 and NFS Underground
Ridge Racer Type 4. Beautiful controls, amazing soundtrack, just an amazing game
Mario Kart for Arcade/Family/Multiplayer/Party is pretty good.
Assetto Corsa is the best sim ever, very realistic, lots of variety from Fiat 500 to F1, loads of tracks and tons of mods.
Now I’m playing F1 23 and they really did fix the traction, it’s early but so far I like it
Car games are a rare thing for me, but here are a few of my favorites!
- Snowrunner
- My Summer Car
- Interstate 76
- Mad Max
- BeamNG.drive
- Twisted Metal 2
- FlatOut
Beamng drive, I’m a huge sucker for soft body physics sims. Also the devs have been actively updating and adding content for over a decade now
Trackmania! Man, the original was a hoot and i spent way too long in Trackmania; Sunrise. The tracks are still second to none, and the track editor; powerful. It allows you to save as many ghosts as you want and then produce a video. This was mind blowing to a younger me; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UcQmJwTnBg
Driver san francisco, then probably burnout paradise.
