Is this a good starting point for someone who's almost never played racing sims? I'm debating between playing this or Ridge Racer Type 4.

>> No.7183848

It has a different feel than an arcade racing game, but it's not like a PC sim.

I wouldn't call it a sim. It's actually a pretty good mix (if you have a good handle on your car, it's easy to drive, but you can spin out if you get careless).

There's nothing "sim" about RRT4. Ferrari F355 Superchallenge on the DC, maybe?

The DC version still looks good up against the PS2 port:

I checked out F355 Superchallenge, and it seems pretty good, so I'll burn both it and Test Drive Le Mans on CDs to play on my DC. I also remembered I have Sega GT 2002 on Xbox since it came with my copy of Jet Set Radio Future, but I never played it since I always went to JSRF. Is GT 2002 any good?

Sega GT isn't terrible, but it's not the best racing game on the DC.

Okay good to know. Any other racing games (sim or arcade) that you'd recommend? I'm open to anything and my favorite racing game is OutRun2 if that makes any difference.

Metroplis Street Racing is in the top tier of Dreamcast racers. It's Bizarre Creations pre-cursor to the Project Gotham Series.

Tokyo Xtreme Racer 1 and 2 are both pretty good for the DC as well:

vanishing points my fav but i can accept its a bit hard for most which gets it unfair low ratings. Amazing game if you invest though.,

How ridiculous. Why would you play an old racing game? That's like playing an old sports game but even more pointless unless it's for nostalgia. New racing games are better than old ones in every way especially in the sims genre.

bollocks.

richard burns still stands as one of the best sims especially with the new packs

outrun 2 is still the best arcade racer for most

Not bad, but why not starting with the best? Just be sure to set assistances off, except for ABS brakes for obvious reasons.
