Title: Racing Game Wreckage
Post by: Scrapyard24c on October 22, 2012, 02:55:02 PM: Just thought I'd post this up as I've hardly seen anything on racing games here. Now the racing games I'm into are not the kind trying to recreate reality, I prefer the kind where you're trying to wipe your opponents off the road. This thread is here to post about those games and what are your favorites.

To be honest, any game where you can turn your opponent's cars from speed machines into scrap metal is good with me.

Title: Re: Racing Game Wreckage
Post by: Pwnator on October 22, 2012, 11:27:38 PM: Burnout. Totally. I think 3 is a good one to start with, although Paradise offers more modes.
Title: Re: Racing Game Wreckage
Post by: Jonzu95 on October 22, 2012, 11:29:12 PM: not in FlatOut 2.

thats the only one ive played, and it handles like total sh**
Title: Re: Racing Game Wreckage
Post by: Jonzu95 on October 22, 2012, 11:56:01 PM: Or you just suck at it. FlatOut 1 has pretty derp controls.
Title: Re: Racing Game Wreckage
Post by: Pwnator on October 23, 2012, 12:06:42 AM: FlatOut 2 has a much better control than 1, it's just that I'm not that much of a fan of the import tuner scene.

Thinking about my Underground phase just makes me shudder ._.
Title: Re: Racing Game Wreckage
Post by: HurricaneAndrew on October 23, 2012, 02:48:19 PM: Destruction Derby and Flatout. Flatout gets the vote. Love the realistic handling.
Title: Re: Racing Game Wreckage
Post by: cephalopod on October 23, 2012, 03:34:50 PM: I've always been a Burnout fan so I guess that one wins...

But I had Burnout on the DS and it was the most atrocious game ever. Still to this day the only game I've bought and traded in (apart from Rock Band which didn't work because I have GH instruments. Derp.)
Title: Re: Racing Game Wreckage
Post by: Jack Daniels on October 23, 2012, 04:05:34 PM: Flatout 2 will always be dear to my heart. The car carnage is terrific.

Honorable Mentions go to:
Speed Devils
Burnout 2 and 3
Carmageddon 2

NFS shift is the worst racing game I have ever played.

So the third Flatout sucks? I knew there was another, but it's not simply "Flatout 3".

The good news is Bugbear got wind of it and it seems they've decided to restore the Flatout series's name as they have been giving hints as to what their next game is.

The only thing really wrong with it in it's current form is the physics. Needs some softbody.
Title: Re: Racing Game Wreckage
Post by: Scrapyard24c on March 22, 2013, 08:06:08 PM: It does have some soft body to it, just not as extreme as Flatout's.

actually some of the ror cars (if you know what the Gavril's are) would be perfect, like the Gavril Zeta, Gavril Bandit, and with a few tweaks the burnside series would be perfect too

One time I used cheat codes for extra money to make Pepper the most badass car in the game. It was fun.

Post by: Scrapyard24c on March 25, 2013, 09:58:40 AM: Fun fact about Test Drive: EOD, if you've ever played NASCAR: Dirt to Daytona, you may recognize some of the tracks and names of the drivers. That's because both games were developed by Monster Games. All the tracks you race on are tweaked versions of the ones you race on in the dirt and modified series in Dirt to Daytona and the names of the drivers are the same ones as the fictional drivers in said game.

If you wonder where Monster Games is now, they've been exclusively working with Nintendo for the past couple of years to create the Excite series, ei: Excite Truck, Excitebots: Trick Racing, and Excitebike: World Rally.

Nice. I hope to be adding Burnout Paradise to my Steam Library soon as well. That is so far the only one I have yet to play in the Burnout franchise. I tried getting it on the Gamestop app but it crashed even before I got to drive. :vista:

I also like some of the throwbacks to previous games such as the Big Surf theme from Burnout 2, known as Pass Me By in Burnout Paradise.

I adore Paradise. I used to play against friends in Gumball 3000 style races, hah. One side or corner of the map, to the other, with checkpoints - love it. 's just weird that I couldn't get A rank on 360, yet I did on PS3.
