its easily one of the most fun and accessible genres, probaly even more than fps or platformers and theyres so much you can do with it.

There*

There's also project cars, NFS, Assetto Corsa.

But yes, it's a very niche market.

The racing genre haven't been that popular since the age of arcades. Even when people want to play a racing game they generally gravitate towards Mario Kart and it's clones.

They already perfected the formula with CTR back in the PS1 days so no one bothers trying to beat that now.

There are fewer racing games now, but I feel they're generally way better. Forza, Forza Horizon, Dirt, Dirt Rally, the F1 games, they're all pretty awesome.

That said, I could definitely go for a new Midnight Club, Burnout, or good NFS/Rush game.

You have any recommendations? I don't think I've played a single indie racer now that I'm thinking about it. Preferably with couch co-op(if I ever get to hang out with irl friends again <_<)

It's a niche genre, but we're getting a decent amount of new ones.

Forza Horizon 5 (November 2021)
Need For Speed (TBA 2022)
Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown (September 2022)
Gran Turismo 7 (TBA 2022)

Nah, most of the modern racing games don't have rubber banding.

Trickfinger posted...
yes...the question is why

who, who, and who?
I can give someone a pass for not knowing Project Cars or Assetto Corsa, but Need For Speed has been around for too long for any racing fan to say that.

Forza Horizon pretty much just annihilated the entire arcade racing market.

If you dont know any of those, you dont need more racing games, you just need to give more racing games a chance.

The only sim/semi-sim racing game I haven't played that I really want to is F1.

I bought a Fanatec wheel and pedal with project cars 1 and 2 but tbh I didn't have the right setup. If you're gonna get a Fanatec, then go balls out and get a proper seat, stick shift, the whole works.

Hell yeah. The remake is really good too if you can excuse the awful loading times and the physics changes (RIP Sewer Speedway). Oh and the microtransactions. But everything they offer is purely cosmetic and you can get it all without real money and with luck only kind of being a factor. But the customization is fun and the game includes all of the Crash Nitro Kart tracks plus some new original ones too.
