Favorite racing game sub genre?

Combat racing- typically video or computer games where the primary objectives of gameplay includes vehicles, usually armed with machine guns, missiles, molotov cocktails, pipe bombs, hand grenades, and other improvised weapons, attempting to destroy vehicles controlled by the CPU or by opposing players. The genre normally features a variety of different vehicles available for play, each with its own strengths, weaknesses, and special attack abilities. Players may also unlock hidden vehicles by completing certain in-game tasks. Traditionally, vehicular combat games focus on fast-paced action inside the vehicle, rarely, if ever, concerning themselves with role-playing or other elements.

Kart racing- Kart racing game, also known as cart racing game or go-kart racing game, is a subgenre of racing video games. Kart racing games are known to have simplified driving mechanics while adding obstacles, unusual track designs and various action elements. Kart racers are also known to cast characters known from various platform games or cartoon television series as the drivers of "wacky" vehicles.

Futuristic Combat.. AKA Wipeout

@meathead373: thanks for your response.

Bump for effect

either open world or sim racers.

@tushar172787: good to know, opinions on other genres(combat, kart , futuristic)?

Every thing except Kart.

Unless you mean as in arcade then sure.

I voted for combat racing but I did a mistake. Simulation is me preferred.

Also as combat racing I mean kind of open world like Twisted Metal.

I'm a fan of most racing games to be honest, I've equally enjoyed games like Forza, Mario Kart and Burnout to name some.

I love both Arcade & Sim Racers.

Open world street racing like NFS rivals or burnout paradise..

@Ant_17: we people could also start joining NASCAR or The Boston Marathon if we want to race in real life. But virtual racing is at least easier.

Uhm , what did i say to get this reply?

And it's not hard to go to a track with your car just for fun.

@Ant_17: I said it just for fun

Yeah but running or driving for hours can get tiring.

@lucianocasanova: Well , i'll give you running , but a car can't drive for hours non stop.

@Ant_17: still, would you do both in the racing game world or do them in real life. It can get tiring like I said to race in real life.

Hell no!

I get tired doing Le Mans in GT , there is no way i can do that in real life.

@Ant_17: well racing in real life can be more complicated, you have to go through the fact that your using energy. motorsports, running, horse racing, etc and also you can't really see that well sometimes

Where as in racing games. You have diffrent camera angles and stuff and all you need is virtual money to upgrade the vehicle and don't need to take a break. Sure racing in real life at times is fun. But racing games are much easier and even funner. The next time I do any kind of race from running to motocross to car racing. I will try to see if I can do it better. Do you agree?

Totally.

When i was younger, i could play a bunch of different driving games. Sims, kart, rally, Burnout like games - it didn`t matter as long as they were fun. Then Gran Turismo 5 came out, & no matter how many problems it had, it did the most important thing i was looking in a simulation, & that is realistic physics & excellent/realistic sense of speed for 400-750 HP cars. I couldn`t play anything else for years, but now i`m starting to enjoy other racing games like when i was a kid. Still prefer sims though.

I hate racing simulators, the sense of speed is awful.

My favorite game is F-Zero GX but that's about it when it comes to futuristic racers. I'd say any arcade works for me.

I don't care for realistic or simulation racing games but I enjoy kart racing or anything over the top.
Wipeout
Mario Kart
Mod Nation Racers
Blur
Sonic All Stars
Burnout
F Zero
Mortal Kombat Deception kart racing minigame

I love kart racers and and arcade styled racers like Motorstorm, Crazy Taxi, and Flatout.

One of the reasons why i like simulations, apart from being a car enthusiast, is the fact that i`ll probably never have the chance to drive one of those exotic or super cars in general. And as technology evolves, those games should probably benefit & get closer to real life simulations, so it will be the closest thing to drive a Ferrari or some other of your dream cars. But i don`t like all sims, like F1 games for example. They seem too chaotic & complicated for my taste, don`t like the sound of those engines either.

But as i said, i like various driving & racing games, so i`ll will give them a proper chance in the future, as i did in the past.
