I'm picking up a PS3 this holiday and want a racing game I can play online with my sister and her husband across the country. Are there any racing games that let you play online with a guest? I'm leaning toward Motorstorm 2, but it looks like there's no online split-screen.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks for the response. I can't think of one either, but it's not a genre that I follow closely, so I thought I'd ask.

resistance 2. you can have foot races from one end of the map to the other.

 

[KR3W]

nvm...didn't read the OP.

 

[Pein]

I don't know if there are any racers on PS3 that let you play split screen online, but a great racing game is wipeout HD

I was gonna say that but thought it would be...... *shrug*

 

[lupinko]

Burnout Paradise
GT5P
WipEoutHD
MotorStorm PR

 

[DeceitDecide]

Burnout Paradise
GT5P
WipEoutHD
MotorStorm PR

I'm pretty sure that qualifies as /thread

I think you can do it in PGR but that's not gonna help him. I don#t think there is anything for the PS3.

Buy Warhawk instead, at least it has vehicles ... and jetpacks !

Seriously now, I can't think of any racer with online split-screen.
But WipEout HD and Motorstorm 2 are great nonetheless.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Buy PURE or GRID... they are the most awesome races with only four letters in their name.

 

[BoilersFan23]

This would be my order:

1. Wipeout HD
2. Burnout Paradise
3. MotorStorm: Pacific Rift
4. Gran Turismo 5: Prologue (While short, its controls are just really good)
5. Ridge Racer 7
6. GRID
7. DiRT
8. Pure

The first three are a must IMO

Some of you guys really need read the OP...

 

[ram]

get ridge racer 7, you can play online with people from all over the world.

 

[Grayman]

Warhawk is one of the few games that has split screen online and it is not a racer.

GT5p, you can't play games with your friends online. You just get put into a big group of people who picked that event at the same time as you. Has split screen but GT split screen can be really unforgiving if player 2 is not as good of a racer.

Wipeout, has online and is fucking awesome. Also has local split screen.

 

[Wii Will Rock U]

I'd recommend Burnout Paradise. It has the best DLC, is cheap, and can be completely downloaded off PSN.

 

[Goldrusher]

None.

However, ignoring that...

If you like over-the-top crazy arcade road racing: Burnout Paradise
Good old NFS-style racing, real cars, real city: Midnight Club Los Angeles
Off-road, crashing, bumping, aggressive battling: MotorStorm Pacific Rift

Can I ask a stupid question? Why would you need/want split-screen online plan. I can understand local split-screen like MotorStorm: PA supports but not for online?

I don't think such a thing exists as they all use that users PSN tag or Xbox Live Gamertag to play online.

Seriously. I just needed to know if any racing games had online split-screen. Thanks to the folks who answered.

As I stated in the OP, I'd like to play with my sister and her husband online. They live across the country. I'd like to race with the two of them online at the same time.

In other words, if we're playing Halo, they can both get online at the same time with one of them as a "guest," and the three of us can play together. I just wondered if this existed in the racing world. Apparently it does not.

IN littlebigplanet this is possible. i can play co-op with my bro on the same ps3 and then connect to other players online. however its neither splitscreen or a racing game =/

 

[XxBigP123xX]

Burnout for online, MS for splitscreen

 

[Gomu Gomu]

I came here to post this:

then I read the OP. I don't know man. However, people should really consider getting this game. It is by far one of the best party games I've ever played.
