Do you guys think car combat guys will ever make a comeback? I really enjoy playing twisted metal/vigilante 8/rogue trip. The last car combat game released was probably Twisted Metal ps3 and none since then.

Twisted Metal 4 is a pretty good album, that also comes with an alright game. I got a multitap for it, but I usually couldn't get my brother and the kids across the street to all sit down and play it. The special kids down the street decided Dragula was called "Dog Pounder", because they interpreted some of the lyrics that way:
>Dead I am the dog, hound of hell you cry

I hated having them over because they wouldn't stay still and let me play Neopets, even if I put them in front of another game. I think one of them scribbled a whiteout marker on the door of my GX TV.

The genre never really went away, if you count games like World of Tanks and WarThunder. Planes are more fun. I started playing WarThunder just because there wasn't a Star Wars game to play. Disney really fucked up there. A whole crop will not have xmas morning video game nostalgia for their product. The episodes are pretty good tho.

There will probably be a revival of some sort, but I think largely the genre has been supplanted by open world action games. At least it was for me. I used to love the heck out of Twisted Metal, but the last time I played it it felt very cramped and limited. Just Cause and the like are where I now get that similar vibe from. Obviously not the same kind of game, but fills a similar gaming niche.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 25 12:04:04 2019 No.5526979 >>5526774 No but there is a non retro game where you play soccer with rocket cars. It's probably the closest you'll ever get.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 25 13:59:10 2019 No.5527179 >>5526774 I doubt anything will make much more of a comeback. Genres of gaming are narrowing in on themselves.

>>	Anonymous Thu Apr 25 14:50:34 2019 No.5527309 >>5527179 Someone could make an indie car combat game. I know we'll probably never get another AAA car combat game again
