[Kuranghi]

I know its not "AAA", but did you not like Hotshot Racing?

 

[Pejo]

I'd imagine the return on investment of AAA arcade racers is really bad. I'm ok with AA/Indy arcade stuff, if it was good.

 

[mansoor1980]

I know its not "AAA", but did you not like Hotshot Racing?

its ok , but u know it aint like ridge racer or wipe out type of game.

 

[Miles708]

Sega made at least 2 "AAA" arcade racers in the last years and promptly avoided porting them to anything that wasn't an arcade machine.
I hate this.

 

[Soodanim]

I tried looking for one that wasn’t EA or really bad on PC and it didn’t go well.

 

[Kuranghi]

its ok , but u know it aint like ridge racer or wipe out type of game.

I thought it was like RR and Daytona USA, I'd say Wipeout is its own thing really.

 

[PSwitchBox44]

I want a new Burnout so bad! Paradise City open world style but bring back crash mode. Would also love to see really varying environments like a tropical, snowy, neon city etc.

 

[TheMan]

I would say the genre just isn't popular anymore.

 

[nkarafo]

They have been dead since the XBOX360/PS3 generation where the few ones that existed turned them into 30fps slogs.

still an arcadey feel to it , so the same vibe dont u think?

 

[Captain Toad]

I always wonder what you people who type "r" and "u", instead of "are" and "you", do with all your extra free time.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Unfortunately, it’s all about what genres make the most money and I guess most companies don’t see ample or good profits in high budget arcade style racers anymore. Yeah, I prefer them over simulations as well. They are more fun and imaginative.

 

[kyussman]

For me Motorstorm Apocalypse was the last great hurah for these games....which I guess is fitting.

 

[Goro Majima]

Forza Horizon 4 scratched my itch for arcade racers and then some.

arcadey people , we r always short on time
1 lap to go

 

[TheMan]

This game completely slipped my mind. Yeah I'd say this is probably top of the heap as far as high budget arcade racers go.

 

[Ribi]

All you need is wreckfest wym

No thanks. Arcade racers were killed by this open world bullshit. Burnout 2/3 all day.

idk my bff jill?

 

[Kokoloko85]

Forza Horizon and Gran Turismo.
I miss Ridge Racer type 4. Actually I played it like a few months back. I love it

 

[Majmun]

Mario Kart 8 is still great.
I do miss Burnout. Burnout 3 is still my favorite arcade racer.

 

[bitbydeath]

Nah, they should do a new franchise if they want to change direction. Burnout Paradise was a real letdown because of the open world aspect.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Why would it matter if it's AAA or not?

 

[mansoor1980]

Why would it matter if it's AAA or not?

AAA means bigger budget , awesome cutting edgegraphix and soundtrack , hype , launch of the game etc

 

[Kittehkraken]

The last bastion of arcade racing is found in Asian Arcades.

Its baffling why the Wangan midnight MAXIMUM series isn't on Playstation.

 

[kyliethicc]

Mostly dead sure.

Mario Kart is fucking hugely popular. Is that AAA? Kinda.

And Forza Horizon games are popular casual racing game.

Otherwise, the popular racing games are sims.

 

[ReBurn]

Been dead for years.

never even heard of it back in the day but saw some videos now , racing with mechs/tanks , looks awesome

Redout is ace,

Spoiler

Horizon Chase Turbo is ace,

Spoiler

TrackMania Turbo is ace,

Spoiler

so is Fast RMX.

Spoiler

Grid is fun.

Spoiler

Wipeout Omega Collection is furious despite being just a remaster collection.

Spoiler

Intertial Drift is surprisingly fun too, better than Hot Shot Racing in my opinion(which is decent too).

Spoiler

Wreckfest is incredible fun, although not necessarily classic arcade I wouldn't consider it a sim at all.
Speaking off, Flatout 4 isn't great but far from the catastrophe that was Flatout 3.

Spoiler

Burnout Paradise is still great, so is NfS: Hot Pursuit. Dangerous Driving sucks though.

wreckfest is bloody great

 

[Animagic]

One of my favorite genres. It’s wild to me how garbage the genre is now. People want everything to be either Hardcore simulation, or child kart racing. Anything in between is just rejected.

 

[Fox Mulder]

It’s Mario Kart or Forza Horizon and then you have to go to simish games where fun isn’t allowed.

Forza Horizon is great and all with an open world sandbox, unique expansions, and like 1000 licensed cars, but the racing and AI is awful.

Yup, what the hell even happened to Genki racers? The last good one I played was Import Tuner Challenge/Shutoko Battle X on Xbox 360.

Since Covid happened and Round 1 locations closed, I ended up just playing Wangan Midnight 5 at home through TeknoParrot.

 

[V4skunk]

Forza Horizon and Gran Turismo.

Gran Turismo isn't arcade though it's more on the realism side especially for console racers.

 

[smart_brazileiro]

All I want is a bloody Split Second remaster. 40k60 is all I need.

 

[Radical_3d]

Buy Dirt 5, god damnit.

Wangan Midnight on the PS3 is good. The menus are in Japanese, but you can find translations of everything on the Internet. I don't speak a word of Japanese and i didn't have any problems playing.

EDIT: Pretty sure i used this site for most things ingame:

[Soodanim]

I just want a fun racer that runs at 120fps made by a company that won’t make me install Epic, Origin, or Ubisoft’s launcher.

That list can’t be long.

 

[Hitchyhero]

Where does Forza horizon sit? It's not simulation but I wouldn't class it as arcade either.

Either way I'm not a fan of racing games in general but Forza horizon 4 is one of my lost player games.

 

[amigastar]

How about Project Cars 3. According to media it's pretty arcade.

 

[Orta]

One of my favourite genres. gutted they aren't getting much coverage anymore. Sims and realistic racers just don't do it for me. Even hybrid realism/arcade is off-putting. I couldn't give a toss about the suspension, upgrading my brake discs and the exhaust width, I just want to put my foot down, take corners at 200mph and hit a nitro boost, launch myself twenty foot into the air and over six other cars through a billboard and past the finish line.

 

[The_Mike]

Op are you high? Forza horizon is a superb arcade racer.

 

[Punished Miku]

No one would pay $60 for it. So here we are.

 

[Quasicat]

Although I love the Forza Horizon series of racing games, I really would like a new version of OutRun. The last console version we got was the 360/PS3 version which came out 12 years ago. Even if they have to strip the Ferrari license to get it to work, I’m all for it!

 

[mansoor1980]

played it but its just one game and certainly not like the namco/sega racers
