2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

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.

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.

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.

Sim drifting on Asetto Corsa is the only "racing" i do these days.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 9 months ago

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

[–] SolarPunker@slrpnk.net 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Silentiea@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 9 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.

[–] Setnof@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

Rallye Racing 97

I spent a lot of time on forza 6 and a lot on money on iracing. but eventually stopped racing. It is not fun any more and there is no respect in online racing. Just people wrecking each other

[–] Cavemanfreak@lemm.ee 1 points 9 months ago

FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage was a real banger that I played the shit out of

[–] MyNameIsAtticus@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Not the Greatest of all time, but Growing up the two racing games I’d play the most was Forza Horizon and Little Big Planet Karting. Sadly I had to drop LBPK after my PS3 died and Forza Horizon I can’t find the disk for anymore.
