Racing Game Topic Discussion

Being that F1 22 is fairly divisive this year... I'm not gonna get too excited about the Manager one.  It's been an up and down year for major racing leagues having bad games.

^ I was going to get it because F1 19 and F1 20 were great, but it's starting to get stale.

New game trying to evoke vibes of Burnout and some Need For Speed.  Some original creators of Burnout working on this game, but it still looks lacking.

Wreckreation – Official Reveal Trailer

It looks pretty weak honestly.  There was obvious clipping right in their trailer.   Disappointing.

[Anyponedrawn]

It looks pretty dumb in my opinion.

EA has been squandering the Need For Speed franchise for so long, and it's too bad.  This new Need For Speed: Unbound does absolutely NOTHING to excite me.  Done before, seen it a million times.

Trailer:

Gameplay:

Coming out December 2, 2022.

I mean the visuals are neat and all, but it's so gonna age itself.  This cartoony style from Fortnite, Spider Man, that reboot Saints Row, that Far Cry DLC thing... It's just getting old.

Looks like NFS not knowing what to do again.


How hard is it for them to go back to basics and just do Hot Pursuit games?

I think it's time to rest NFS games and bring back Burnout... but don't change Burnout.  Do it like how it used to be done. Arcade, wrecking, fun.

Or Porsche Unleashed .

There were a lot of models skipped in the original game — no 917 (!) and useless 550 Spyder instead of great 906, for example .

I wasn't a big fan of Porsche Unleashed at the time because it was all Porsche's.  I wanted to drive more variety of brands.  So I liked the games that came after and the very first NFS game on the PS1.  I also wasn't a fan of NFS II.

[Silverwing]

^ Same.  I liked the first game, I think it was the first game I ever played on the PS1.  I didn't buy two or Porsche Unleashed on the PC.  But I did Buy NFS III Hot Pursuit.  That was the hot thing at the time.  Everyone at school talked about it.  I bought NFS High Stakes too, which was good, but more realistic.

[Grapefoot]

The first NFS Underground game was fun for something different, but I loved NFS III Hot Pursuit.  Then I loved NFS Hot Pursuit 2, and NFS Most Wanted.   I'm sensing a pattern here.

[Captain Ridiculous]

I got NFS Heat for free, but I haven't downloaded it to play yet.  People say it's good, but I have no idea.

[Grapefoot]

I stopped playing NFS games after Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2012).  So I am a decade behind on what they are currently making.

[Silverwing]

Your a decade behind Grapefoot!
