Just got a PS4 not too long ago. I am just wondering what is the best racing game I could get at the moment? I am currently torn between at NFS 2015 and Driveclub. I've been playing NFS series for about 15 years now. (Been playing since Porsche Unleashed). What really made me into cars; especially Porsche and Bimmers was these old NFS games that blackbox made. NFS used to be about racing exotic/domestic cars in european countryside/urban environments. Not ricing out 4 cylinder JDM's and whatnot. Apparently, from what I heard, Driveclub is not good. But I beg to differ, it really looks like a pre-NFS Underground game in 2015 if you catch my drift. I played the crew at my boy's crib, but what I do not like about the Crew or the NFS is that it seems like it's so hard to find a race with actual people! Instead, it seems like you are aimlessly driving around or customizing your car. Which makes me believe racing games are better off linear with different locations and numerous amounts of tracks. Remember going to the arcade in the late 90's and early 2000's and playin the arcade racer "Cruzin' The World"? (But in todays times I can see why EA and other companies go open world because you have to account for people who do not want to race; I know ironic for a racing game right? Not racing? lmao.

I got my ps3 in 2013 (took a brake from gaming for a while from xbox and switched to ps3) and my first racing game for that was NFS The Run; which honestly is the last true NFS game to be quite frank with everyone. (People do not realize the game was actually a hybrid like Driveclub since it had physic's from Shift 2) It had it's faults but the racing was great and competitive; especially online. The graphics and track selection as superb as well. And the movie was based on the Run as well; just the opposite way lmao. I just don't want to get this NFS and it will be a Rival's part 2. Hence why they took a 2 year break because NFS Rivals was such a bad racing game.

So my question is is what's the best racing game I could get at the moment? And do you think DriveClub is essentially a modern NFS game? A real NFS? Not that silly Underground stuff.

Thx in advance.

Er, yeah, PS4 doesn't have too many strong racers.

Give DriveClub a try, it's not for everyone, but it's fun enough if you can get into it. I recommend getting it on the cheap, though, if at all.

I don't own a PS4 but I love racers and last I heard DriveClub is very cheap I seem to remember it selling for 10-20$ so honestly if I was in your shoes I would get both.

Dirt Rally.

No I haven't played it but everyone seems to love it and rally racers are the only racers u really like.

Plus I plan on buying it soon anyway and I'll love it.

The best racers would be on Xbone. But Project Cars is a good one and is on PS4.

If you just like driving around in an open world. get the Crew: Wild Run edition. The graphics were updated and its an enormous game. Ive put in lots of hours and Im still driving the 1st default vehicle. Im a Forza guy, and typically spoiled with access to tons of cars from the beginning. The crew is all about the driving experience. Im glad I gave it a chance.

The problem is that being a new player, other players online are ranked way ahead of you so they are doing events youre not able to do yet. Life of a rook.

Get Driveclub. It was shit when it originally came out but it's had lots of patches since then and it's an excellent racer now. It's also really cheap too so you can't go wrong with it.

On PS4, I like the NFS Rivals from 2014, that game was a lot of fun in an open world. Best of all you can turn off being in an online environment and enjoy the game yourself.

Forza 6, Project Cars, Assetto Corsa, and Dirt Rally are all very good games.

Rocket league (:P) and project cars. Driveclub is subjective, I find the physics downright awful but you may like it. There are also over 100 cars and 50 tracks in the game right now, and you can get the game really cheap.

The Nintendo fans will say Mario Kart 8

The Xbox one fans will say Forza 5/6

I havent played the serious since Forza 3. Has it changed that much? What are your favorite things they did since Forza 3? I got all console last gen, so I dont see why I wouldn't get a xbox one and a NX soon.

Project CARS is currently the best racing simulator and Driveclub is the one with the best graphics. I recommend getting them all eventually, but get the new Need for Speed first since you're a fan of the series.

PS4 has all the racing games that Xbox One has with the exception of the Forza series.
