never played them much... gran turismo for the playstation comes to mind, monster truck madness too, yeah... more than gran turismo.

>> No.3265047

>>3265035
gran turismo would be so much better with a working speedo. As it is, it shows wrong units and can't be turned off. useless

>> No.3265067

Favorite retro racing game is probably Wipeout 3. Modern is some Forza bullshit or GRID.

Also check out:
-Ridge Racer R4
-OutRun *
-the F-Zero GBA games (not-retro wambulance)
-Crash Team Racing
-Diddy Kong Racing

Retro racing games are archaic pieces of trash that can't hold a candle to latter-day racers like GT or Forza.

Cruzin' USA at the arcade or Excitebike.

It's also one of the 2 stages where you get that higher-up camera view, the other one being Gateway.

I like F Zero X OP

Esp because they didn't gimp the frame rate like so many other racers of the time

What do you mean by "wrong units"? If you play the US version it shows MPH, and if you play the Japanese version it shows KM/H. Unless you mean the speedometer is inaccurate in terms of actual speed, which I don't think is true.

>> No.3266157

The first 5 NFS games are all among the best driving games of the 5th gen.

>> No.3266179

>>3266152
mph is a useless unit, and I don't speak moon runes. It's a racing game, it should do SI units

at release NFS II got attacked for being so much worse than TNFS. NFS III was a recovery

really? damn I got lucky I guess, had the first one then, what happened?!

>> No.3266205

>>3266186
EA happened. Simply put, NFS II was a bit lazy, missing all the polish and style of TNFS. Physics were odd too. Difference between II and III is almost night and day, in terms of presentation, handling, track design

>> No.3266535

I hate to parrot so many others but Ridge Racer Type 4 is so, so fucking good. I also like most anything SEGA like Outrun, Daytona USA, Virtua Racing, Rally, etc.

Wow I was going to make a thread about this. What are the best racing games on the SNES? I'm not really looking for a Mario Kart type game but more of a pure racer.

The Japanese cover I posted is the one I like, and is the best. I'm talking about how shitty the American cover >>3265249 is. Sorry I should've specified NTSC-U being shit.
