this is factual. if you're tired of this overambitious sim stuff (although frankly i love them as much as any arcade racer) and want arcade fun back, you guys gotta bring back the place that was the start of all this gameplay to begin with. then again, it's kind of hard to when so many people don't live near an arcade like i do.Where are the arcades?
if you want that shit back, bring back arcades. get sega to get back to making groundbreaking arcade hardware like they used toI got few hours in Horizon Chase after it got to repetitive and around one hour in Hotshot Racing... I kinda liked it but I don't think thats what people mean when asking for new arcade racers.
Those are mid tier mobile games. They look like they could run on your grandma android phone. When I think about arcade racers I mean something with AAA production quality. Remember the times when Sega put out new Daytona USA 2 - it blew everyones minds in the arcades, shit looked unreal. Ridge Racer on the PS, Screamer on PC, Sega Rally on Saturn or motherfucking Wipeout - those are golden age of arcade races. What they all had in common? They pushed the technical side of games to the limit, alongside fighting games. Thats what I want when I ask for more arcade racers, not some cheap ass indies done by one guy on a budget.
Wreckfest is dope though
Excite truck was just stupid fun.

what game? You mention this but leave a very important part out, the name.Buy that game made by the original burnout people, it’s basically a sequel to Burnout Revenge. The menus, gameplay, and presentation are almost a carbon copy.

Dangerous Driving
Opinions on this game don't seem very good tho.
From what i read it suffers from retro-nostalgia syndrome where it tries too hard to imitate the old games without really improving on the formula, and still coming out worse in some aspects (like the flat-looking tracks). I think one would be better off playing the original Burnouts if they can.
oh, right, saw it now it was someone else recommending itit’s a very very light Burnout and racing experience, not very comparable outside of sharing some similarities to Revenge/Takedown but my objective wasn’t to offer an opinion on the game but just to answer the posters question about which game was being discussed
There's no "story mode" but theres a campaign. It has Split-screen but it seems that has some issues and its not ideal.Twisted Metal - like the originals or black. Add on story mode and local co-op.
Yeah, this one is rough, i feel it too. Lets hope the new announced TD or that CarX Street i showed earlier give us some good results.Test drive unlimited 3 - loved these games, open world racers without the lootbox mechanics (because there was no lootboxes in the 2000s)
No real cars, but excellent stunt tracks with editor, also split-screen and LAN.Stunts - real cars on stunt tracks, with editor.. Played this with friends after school and after token a j. We would get lit , create crazy tracks and have each other try to play. Great times (I don't endorse doing that but, don't do it myself anymore, It was a fun game regardless. Its very old but here it is :
We will sadly never get these types of games again
Forza horizon isn't it. That's like the crew, always online microtransaction lootbox heavy forced races. (don't know if horizon 5 is still like that, but probably).
We need a new Burnout.
I want to get wreckfast but the fact that there is ZERO local co-op is a big turnoff. I remember playing destruction derby games on PS1 playing local co-op.
Here is what I personally would want from Arcade style racers:
Burnout - legends, revenge, paradise style, don't care, just inject it into my veins...please!!!!
Motorstorm - like pacific rim. Shit just remake that game or port it.
Twisted Metal - like the originals or black. Add on story mode and local co-op.
Road Rash - come on its been decades. Road Redemption tried but it wasn't enough.
Test drive unlimited 3 - loved these games, open world racers without the lootbox mechanics (because there was no lootboxes in the 2000s)
Stunts - real cars on stunt tracks, with editor.. Played this with friends after school and after token a j. We would get lit , create crazy tracks and have each other try to play. Great times (I don't endorse doing that but, don't do it myself anymore, It was a fun game regardless. Its very old but here it is :
Did anyone play this game?

So, just to be clear here, you both want a Triple A budget arcade racing game in this current gen? Well, let's examine the evidence as to why that won't happen.Can they just stop making this retro bullshit and actually make a decent next gen arcade game. This slipstream...they even showed off in the first 10 seconds how its hard to see where you are going.
SCI was an awesome arcade game. Was never good at it. I think I'd get to level 2 and just bail when the game was over.We need a chase hq sequel. There was a game very much like it on ps1 which I forget name off, it was magnificent.
If you want to know why the genre is almost fully an indie and mobile genre now(aside from Forza Horizon and maybe a random Codemasters game every few years), look no further than the failure of these two recent AAA racing games.
Old racing games like that are complicated to remaster or keep selling officially for a long, due to all the car and music licenses.I'm not one to ask for remasters, but let's get NFS most wanted 2005. Maybe the best in the franchise, and the HD version (Xbox 360) isnt available in the MS digital store, hard to find unless you wanna overpay for a used copy on ebay.

This and Most Wanted 2012 are still sold in digital stores. Some old racers like GT Legends (and other SinBin games) are still up too despite having licensed vehicles. My guess is that those games did something really when the licenses were being negotiated.This is why it would be great to see revivals of games like Burnout and MotorStorm. Those games did well with fictitious vehicles (although they did have licensed music). The fact that they used fictitious vehicles also gave the games' designers certain liberties that might not have been available to them if they had to use licensed vehicles.
For what it's worth, Electronic Arts produced a remastered version of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit about 2 years ago.
I play this baby on my pc ! It's still beautiful today , i LOVE this gameWe need this baby back.

The right answer.They came out and you didn’t buy them.
Unlike those other genres, there are a lot of indies trying to pick up that slack (more misses than hits, but there's more to come).Crazy sci-fi shooters like Quake or Unreal
