It's not dead. They just put out a new Need for Speed a few months ago. A lot more racers in the Sim racing category especially on PC.

The genre isn't as interesting as it used to be, but I wouldn't call it dead. Need for Speed just came out, Forza is on the... (Horizon. HAHAHA*snort*!), Test Drive Solar Crown, Wreckreation, and I'm sure more will be announced in the next few months like Dirt or Grid. Plus the indie scene is rife with throwbacks, I feel like I see a new Virtua Racer looking thing on Steam every month.

Its been dead and irrelevant for generations. THE ONLY reason forza is being mentioned as much as it does, is because the year it comes out, literally nothing is on the xbox, so all the lems have no choice but to talk about forza cuz its their only game for that year.

That is true however, I would argue that it is stands out from the other racing games that are most clones of each other. Not that there hasn't been MK clones.

Pretty obvious that you didn't research the topic lol. Need for Speed Unbound came out just recently. Gran Turismo 7 came out and was a big hit and now we're getting the VR version next month. Forza has always been doing well. Mario Kart 8 has sold probably over 40 million units. So yea, this thread doesn't make sense lol.

lol I agree racing games are boring for the most part. There's only a few racing games that are legit fun like Burnout takedown and revenge smashing the shit out of cars and watching all the pieces fly in slow motion is the best crash mode never gets old.

NFS Unbound was just released and looks pretty cool. Other than that, those arcade racing games we used to have are missing indeed.

Racing sims are still alive and kicking though. Too bad I don't enjoy those.

What you will see in 5 days is a game running in sub 30fps that you will be damage controlling with "but they still have time to optimize, guys". This is what we will see in 5 days.

What makes you say that? Forza is doing well because its *free*. Haven't heard anything about GT doing well. Asetto is very niche. Mario Kart is more of a party game than a racing one. iRacing is very niche, but good game. If by "doing better than ever" you're referring to profits, i don't think that's the case. If you're just saying that there's multiple good racing titles on the market, then sure.

Forza isn't free and is consistently among the most popular Xbox titles. It also peaked at 80K players just on Steam that's at most like 1/2 (very generously) of its user base. Gran Turismo 7 was among the top 10 best-selling titles on the Playstation store. F1 22 did well. Mario Kart is still a racing game. Sure, it's got vehicular combat elements but it's ultimately a racing game.

Was there another time when racing games were doing better? The Ridge Racers, Burnout, or Cruisn' games of yesteryear weren't exactly selling tens of millions either.

I don't follow the genre, but back when GT was massive, i think those were the best days for the genre. More people seemed to care more about racing title releases than they are now. These days its all about BR.

Maybe you're right, but gaming has grown so much compared to the early 2000s that it's hard to compare. Back then, a title selling 10M was absolutely enormous. Nowadays, a major AAA game is expected to do 20M+. Zelda has been considered arguably the second or third most important Nintendo franchise since the first one and the second best-selling title is OOT at like 8.5M copies compared to BOTW which did over 25M.

Fixed.

Arcade racing is one of the most fun genres, by far. Way more fun than boring AAA open world games.

Especially in the arcades with the hydraulic motion simulator cabinets, something most gamers today have never experienced.

In total, Mario Kart 8 sold over 56M units. Kart racing is bigger than ever. But car racing isn't as popular as it used to be, at least on consoles. Kids nowadays mainly play cheap car racing games on mobile phones.

One reason I'd give for the decline of car racing games is the increased focus on realism at the expense of fun. And another reason is taking arcade racers out of the arcade environment. Arcade racing isn't the same without the hydraulic motion simulator cabinets you can only find in arcades.

Lets not change the subject. Your "nothing" for the ps5 has just given us a six times award winner title, something you have never seen nor will see on the Xbone or the X.

A starfield delay is a rumor, with no facts to back it up.

I know, you want it delayed, you want it to be bad. But, we can't always get what we want...

Sim Racing is very healthy lots of people getting into F1, GT and others. GT7 is one of the top 15 most sold game in NA in 2022. It's a genre that will always have following due to popularity of the sport.

Arcade racing is either FH, NFS or dead. The genre probably lost its popularity due to street car culture largely disappeared.

Because I don't give too much credence to a rumor that was started before MS announced that Starfield was getting it's own "event"?

Yeah, I'm really fricken desperate...
