I am looking for a racing game. I have some very specific requirements for the game I would like to buy.
1. I want it to be cars. Not RCs, motorcycles, ATVs, or karts, but cars.
2. the cars need to be non-livery cars. I have Dirt 3, and while it's super fun and I thoroughly enjoy it, I don't like the fact that the cars are all liveried up. (I don't care if liveried is a word, I used it. Move on.)
3. while I would be ok with some racetrack courses, I would prefer there to be some street racing involved as well.
4. I would prefer it to be eye candy as well. I know people will say graphics aren't everything, and I agree. But in this case, I want the game to look good. Meaning probably 2010 or newer at least. NFS Hot Pursuit looks good, and meets most of those requirements, but I want to know if there is anything better.
I would actually prefer a game like Midnight Club 3, back in the PS2/Xbox era. That game was awesome sauce. Lots of great looking street cars, and they were modifiable. That was the best part. I loved changing the look of the cars, adding custom hoods, rims, doors, etc. If anybody knows a game like that, one that is not Midnight Club: LA, I would love to hear it. It seems that customizability has left games, for the most part.
I have had my eye on Assetto Corsa, but the fact that it's still in early access has deterred me. Anybody familiar with that game? Should I take the plunge? Are there any other games I should look at getting? Is NFS Hot Pursuit going to be my best bet? I heard that was better than any of the other NFS games since then, but what am I missing?
