I had a conversation recently about needing a game built for students of drivers' education. Is there a game well equipped for this? Or games built around exploration like the overworld and key elements from Diddy Kong Racing? Or the combat elements like F-Zero? Just made me realize most driving games are (understandably) built around competitive racing. What else is built around cars but not racing them? --- O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard!

Banishing Racer It's a side-scrolling platformer starring an adorable little cartoon car. Who jumps on other vehicles to knock them off the road. IIRC, the plot suggests that he's nominally involved in a race, but the gameplay doesn't involve actual racing at all (for one thing, every enemy vehicle is going the other way). --- The shattered stage is set and there's a role you must fulfil ...

Dead End Road - a horror game where you're driving to outrun monsters and creatures. Glitchhikers - a sort of night drive road trip simulation narrative game where you pick up various hitchhikers and chat with them about different, usually deep, topics. Beware - don't think it ever made it out of demo stage but it's a game about driving a car away from a pursuer behind you. Groaning Steel - I guess technically it's a racing game but you don't race against anyone, instead it takes place in a Lovecraftian, flesh hellscape with living cars. Just a demo. --- I've decided to put my fears behind me. I'm not going back. https://www.instagram.com/horror_obscurities/ ... Copied to Clipboard!

I've always felt that the best video games to train someone for driving isn't actually any game that actually takes place in a car, but FPSes. No game that takes place in a car actually feels like driving does and the objective is almost never to avoid getting hit at all costs. But FPSes teach you important concepts about blind spots and how to scan for dangers and react quickly to them. ... Copied to Clipboard!

burnout in general feels like a good answer if f-zero was cited as an example, they're only like a third oriented around racing and all the rest is combat/destruction i haven't actually played them myself but i'm pretty sure ex-devs went on to make some games that were just based off the road rage and crash modes from them, forget the names (edit: the danger zone series) ...

No game that takes place in a car actually feels like driving does and the objective is almost never to avoid getting hit at all costs. But FPSes teach you important concepts about blind spots and how to scan for dangers and react quickly to them.This makes sense. And I think the key thing you want to learn for driving isn't really the mechanics, but the interactions with other drivers. Using non-verbal communication and being predictable which also making quick decisions, and reading others doing the same. So a game like R6 Siege (without voice chat) would be perfect for that. Or L4D for something much less difficult. --- _foolmo_ he says listen to my story this maybe are last chance ... Copied to Clipboard!

Hmm well in Jak (and Daxter) II you hijack hovering vehicles to navigate around Haven City far faster than you could on foot but the controls are janky. Also there is racing and authority invading involved in several missions, but it's not the focus of the game. In Jak III the vehicle controls are a lot smoother, but since Haven City is only one of the areas involved in that game there is a lot less focus on the hover cars and more alternative vehicles are introduced. I don't recall many racing missions in that one, but it's also my least replayed of the trilogy. In fact I think I've only beaten it once versus like 7 for J&D and 3 for II. --- :> I'll never stop smilin' she/her ... Copied to Clipboard!
