I don't know about the rest of you but something that's always intrigued me about PlayStation over the years have been the new racing IPs they introduce every console generation. And while games like Jet Moto, Kinetica, MotorStorm and Driveclub rarely make their way to other PlayStation platforms, with the exception of MotorStorm: Arctic Edge on the PS2 and PSP and Driveclub VR on PS VR, I feel that a new exclusive racing game is arguably one of the best ways to showcase an early look at the power of a next generation console - the sense of speed mixed with highly-detailed textures, improved lighting and various other rendering techniques (of which the latest seems to be real-time ray tracing).
But what direction should SIE take with a new racing IP on the PS5? Should it be a racing game set in the near or far future or something a little more contemporary like Gran Turismo? Or should it be like MotorStorm with an emphasis on dangerous racing, managing your boost, and vehicle class dictating the best routes to victory?
Personally, I want to see hoverbikes make a return but also have them race alongside cars and trucks utilizing the same hover technology. And I think it would be interesting to see race tracks that are at times fully futuristic but also have some race tracks set in long abandoned cities or towns or even islands. I don't really know how else to describe it but I always thought Jet Moto and MotorStorm were some of PlayStation's coolest racing IPs. It helped set PlayStation apart from Xbox and Nintendo.
