Let's have a discussion or post pictures about some of the racing video games or franchises we enjoyed playing with ourselves or friends throughout the years. Any racing game you loved playing on your Nintendo, XBOX, PC, Sega, or Playstation console or handheld. I think it's a genre of gaming that has definitely declined in popularity over the last several years with the exception of a few franchises like Forza or Mario Kart which are still going on today. A couple that come to mind that I loved to play when I was younger was Need for Speed Underground and Crash Nitro Kart. I'll get into more detail about these games and many others later.

It has only been one racing game for me and that was Mario Cart.

:D

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 is the best racing game of all time.

http://vignette3.wikia.nocookie.net/nintendo/images/d/d9/Need_For_Speed_Hot_Pursuit_2_(NA).jpg/revision/latest?cb=20121024232216&path-prefix=en

It's actually the Gamecube version I prefer to the PS2 (I know, surprising, ain't it?).

Underground was really good. I like that one Story of the Year song on the soundtrack (Aside from their first EP under a different name, they're not a band I'm too crazy about).

The Burnout games are also incredible (not those crappy PSP spin-offs).

http://img.gamefaqs.net/box/1/6/4/15164_front.jpg

I'm  a huge Gran Turismo geek and have had every edition on every system since it first came out in 1997 or 1998 on the PS1.

Right now I have GT6 on the PS3 and although I'm not a serious racer I like getting online and turning laps on the Nurnburgring, it's one way I unwind after work.

The Need for Speed games were great! Loved those drifting/race missions. One of the few racing games that challenged me.

One of my favourite racing games is actually rather recent

http://www.mtv.com/shared/promoimages/games/banjo_kazooie_nuts_and_bolts/town/500x365.jpg

This game is super-creative, I was very disappointed when reviewers panned it because it wasn't a carbon-copy of Banjo Kazooie/Tooie. You build your own car with weird contraptions and then you complete missions and race! You have to build the right kind of car for different kinds of races, which is where the tricky part lies. I had a blast with this game.

And

http://s.emuparadise.org/fup/up/39743-Excitebike_64_%28USA%29-1.jpg

This game is all sorts of mad fun! It's bike-racing game, and a lot of relies on doing super neat tricks while riding in mid-air as well as racing well. Good stuff.

And yeah, who doesn't love the Mario Kart series. Won't even bother posting pictures of that. That series still dominates my life, especially Mario Kart 7 for the 3DS.

I didn't play the PS1 games, but the GT4 and GT5 were really great racing games.

On GT6 online, my friends would troll everyone else by driving backwards and crashing into them  ;D

It's lame but I really loved the Nintendo game rc pro am

I preferred Mario Kart 64 over Double Dash. Don't care how long it has aged. In terms of originality and creativity Mario Kart 64 will always remain as my favorite Mario Kart game console wise of the entire series. Even though I never owned one. Playing it with my friends and cousins was enough to give me nostalgia for it. It was the Mario Kart game that got the franchise going with so many items added, epic courses whether it was easy ones or difficult ones, and the 4 player tournaments with your friends on racing or battle mode. I owned Double Dash for the Gamecube which was epic as well including the courses, similar modes and introduced the all cup tour which was amazing, but the 2 people in 1 kart was a huge turnoff for me. However I loved the special items though. What I also loved about 64 was the hated courses. Remember how difficult Yoshi Valley, Toad's Turnpike, and Rainbow Road were 8-P my gosh! Surprisingly I was good with Bowser's Castle though. Overall when it comes to the Mario Kart franchise, DS still gave me the best to offer.

Now I preferred Crash Nitro Kart over Crash Team Racing, because I thought the story mode and cut scenes for Nitro Kart was much more interesting and I thought the course designs were much better on there with a better selection of characters. I also liked the powerslide boosting technique you were able to do as well. I guess I have more nostalgia for Nitro Kart than Team Racing. I've played Team Racing a few times but I didn't like the controls that much for some reason and the courses weren't as appealing to me. One thing I liked about both of the games was that if you got up to 10 wumpa fruits your items are a lot more powerful. Like the TNT box which gives you 5 seconds to hop it off, but with 10 wumpa fruits it's a Nitro box that explodes immediately if you hit it. Or the Aku Aku invincibility mask lasting much longer.

It's lame but I really loved the Nintendo game rc pro am

http://gamesdbase.com/Media/SYSTEM/Nintendo_NES/Snap/big/R.C._Pro-Am_-_1988_-_Nintendo.jpg


Lame? No way! Not only was RC Pro-Am my favorite NES game, it was far and away the best racing game on a home console up to that point. For as crude as it is compared to today's games, it had some surprisingly good drifting action.

It wasn't until the original Gran Turismo came along in the late 1990s that I found a racing game that was as realistic and fun to play as RC Pro-Am.

Plus...the bombs and rockets!  ;)

Man, Gran Turismo is one of the hardest games ever, though! Every time I play, I end up crashing into the side off the road. I can never stay on the track because making turns are next to impossible. And when I'm not crashing, I'm spinning out! I've never won a race in Gran Turismo. Not even once.

After all of you talking about the Gran Turismo series now I wish I had gotten into it LOL. I'm thinking it wasn't like Need for Speed for Forza based off how y'all are reminiscing about it. I may have played it before on someone's PS2 or PSP years ago not realizing what it was but I'm not sure since it's been a long time.

You have to be really good at racing or something to actually accomplish something in that game. I used to think I was a pro at racing games because I played so much Need for Speed and Burnout and totally killed my friends in multiplayer but then I played Gran Turismo and my abilities were clearly not as good as I thought. 8-P

I didn't play the PS1 games, but the GT4 and GT5 were really great racing games.

Do you still play GT6? And, for that matter does anyone else here? If so maybe some night we ought to get some 00zers together, log onto PSN, set up a room and turn a few laps. Might be kinda fun.

There's definitely a big learning curve there but the licensing mode is a good tutorial, it starts you out with the smaller cars and gradually builds your skills up until you can handle the faster cars.

Plus tuning your car (especially the suspension), while seeming quite daunting, is absolutely crucial.  A lot of times I'll Google setups for different cars and just plug them in and usually they'll work.

But man I'll tell you, once you get a car dialed in and run it on a track that you've become familiar with you can just tear it up and it's an absolute blast, especially when you run with someone with a similar skill level.

Yeah that sucks, I know a lot of racing games that are like that too. This doesn't just apply to racing genre of games, but even in first person shooters or platform games since you were a master at one franchise or even one version of the game, you'll go to another franchise or the next version of that same genre end up assuming it's gonna be a piece a cake and then BOOM! it's so much harder due to the controls feeling different and you get killed online every time, or even on the single player mode too.

Anyone played Diddy Kong Racing? I didn't ask my parents to waste their money on this one. I played the DS version once at my cousin's house and I actually thought it was okay-ish, but let's be honest no where near as good as the Mario Kart games. It was mediocre at best but I'd consider it as an honorable mention.

What I'd usually do is pick the car that looked the coolest and had the highest stats and that never worked out. Then I'd but that mode on where it had the lines on the track and would tell you when to brake but I still spun out. Maybe I'll give it another try using your advice. ;D

100% correct. I can play racing games as long as they're not simulators or realistic. I suck at all First Person Shooters. I would always get killed when I play First Person Shooters online but I'd do the funniest sh*t. There's that Call of Duty mode where you die and don't respawn until next round, right? And since I was the worst on the team, I'd hide out in my base until I was the last one alive. Then I'd run out, put a sticky bomb on the wall and kill myself. The amount of curses and hateful comments I'd get from others on the mics was hilarious. I made so many people leave the game out of anger.

Ah, just like me playing Call of Duty.  ;)

To be honest I wasn't the best at 1st person shooter either. I didn't jump on the bandwagon of the Call of Duty franchise until Black Ops got popular in 2010-2011, just for the multiplayer online mode and zombie mode, which I got for the XBOX 360 right around the start of 2012 (same year Black Ops II was released which I eventually got as well). Although, I did own Call of Duty 2 for the XBOX in 2005 but I only played the story mode and not multiplayer, and yeah when I was a rookie I got a lot of hate too on the mics but I improved over time. That's why most of the time I muted the mic unless I was playing with my friends or cousins online.

I remember playing Burnout a lot as well, it was sick! I used to own one of these including playing the other at my old children's ministry before service began.

I never really liked Call of Duty. I've only ever owned Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops. I thought they were really overrated and a pain in the ass to play but fun it was fun to screw around online. I'm a bit of a sh*t disturber, so I was game with these guys on the mics. Team killing was another one of my specialties but the worst was trying to team kill when you'd get killed yourself or kicked from the game.

Burnout was one of the best. This one time I crashed my car so hard it fell through the map and kept going in this infinite loop. It's like, it fell down the road and then it'd fall out of the sky onto the road and through the road again. I had the replay and I thought "maybe I should tape this on my VCR to watch later" but I never did (Yeah, I used to record my own gameplay on my VCR sometimes. Pre-historic early 00's gaming techniques!). I should of because it'd be funny to see.

I'm an old schooler so my favorite racing games were:

Any of the SSX games except Blur.  :-X

I remember seeing this game in smoke-filled arcades back in the 70's:

http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--ppm_3G7o--/18d3svynme2nwjpg.jpg

You wouldn't so much steer the car around corners as you would just powerslide it around by flicking the wheel and spinning it back and forth.

And it only cost a quarter to play!  :D

Isn't PSN pay-to-play now?

No, it's still free.

In addition to the suspension modifications I told you about (you can get a pre-tuned racing suspension for a fraction of the cost of a fully-customizable suspension which will work almost as well), tires are key as well.

R.C. Pro-Am.  That brings back memories.  I remember getting it for Christmas back in the late 80s and to this day, it is still one of my favourite NES games.

One of my favourite old school console racing games was a launch title for the Turbo Grafx-16 in 1989 called 'Victory Run'.  It was the first racing game I ever played that seemed more real than ones I had played before (It was based on an actual race across Europe and you had to replace car parts as needed).  It was also super hard in the fact that if you crashed even once, it might as well be game over

dI-zk9Kuj-E


One of the most unusual racing games I ever played was called 'Final Lap Twin'.  It was a Turbo Grafx-16 game from 1990 that was based on the popular 80s arcade game 'Final Lap'.  This game had two modes:  You could compete in an F1 style race mode, or you could do an RPG quest mode where you play a young racer who travels from town to town racing locals for money.

Oh, good. I've been told that PS Plus became mandatory on the PS4 and they cancelled PS3's online but it's good to hear that's not the case.

Hm, that is a good idea. I have terrible attention span so I never actually went through all the customization features; I just wanted to race! I might have GT5 with my PS3 lying around in my closet so I could dig it out and try playing it again. Better yet, I know I got GT3 and 4 on my shelf and since I play my PS2 almost daily, I might try them out for the first time in 11 years. God knows why I bought three of these games if I am so awful at them... :-\\

Mario Kart N64!

Crash Team Racing
Diddy Kong Racing
Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing Transformed
Mario Kart Double Dash

Does this count as a racing game? If so, I'd like to post it.

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/5f/The_Simpsons_Hit_and_Run_cover.png

The thing about this game that I love is that it immerses you in a world of the Simpsons. You can explore a fully detailed map of Springfield, and also uncover gags and references from the first 10 or so seasons.

Also, to quote another reviewer on this game, the music is "slick as f*ck":

HELL YES!!! This! and all the Planet Hot Wheels CD-ROM games, website I'd get on, and the cars I collected back in 2003!

There was one I used to play on PC back in the 90s called Megarace.  It was based around a futuristic game show hosted by some guy named Lance Boyle, and the object was to use the guns on your car and destroy all the other cars in the race before the X number of laps were up.  It was super cheesy, but I loved it!  It had a bunch of sequels, but I never got around to playing those.

Al-B had previously mentioned one called Sprint.  There was one I used to play in the Arcade all the time that was similar called Super Off-Road.  I sank all kinds of quarters on this back in the day ...

There's a lot of good handheld racing games as well.  I really loved Top Gear: Rally for Game Boy Advance.  At my job, when not a lot of work was coming in, I would sit at my desk and play this game on my GBA almost non stop.  I was so addicted.  I used to look forward to the days when there was no work just so I could play it lol

The SSX games.
Was that the snowboarding down a mountain game. If so, I played and enjoyed it too, but my son always beat!

I own every SSX from the first one up to On Tour. I really like the first 3 but On Tour is no way as good as the first one. Never gonna touch Blur.

This was the last Mario Kart game I played, and the last good one for me before the franchise started having too many add-on's to the point where the classic feel of Mario Kart was officially gone IMO.

The first time in a long time a console Mario Kart game has a single player on one kart since the 64 version. It featured wi-fi mode up to 12 players, and very great courses along with the retro courses again. Although, I believe the Wii version is when the battle mode declined, they took away the boo item in place for that terrible thunder cloud item, and the CPU's create so much chaos with the items lol. The selection of characters in this game was really good. Mario Kart Wii is also when they changed the drifting technique which prevents you from snaking like you could do on Mario Kart DS & earlier. The bicycle technique was really good, etc.

One of my older cousins had a Pole Position floppy for his Commodore 64. It was actually just about the first racing game I can remember playing as a kid.

So far as my other favorites, I loved the original Super Mario Kart for the SNES growing up, as well as most of the others folks have already mentioned like Gran Tourismo, Mario Kart 64, Crash Team Racing, etc.

I'm really glad someone mentioned Diddy Kong Racing. The Nintendo 64 version hasn't aged all that well, but that game was freakin' revolutionary for it's time, man. The fact that it had an honest to God plot, that you could use different types of vehicles other than just karts, and that you could actually drive yourself around from track-to-track instead of just selecting it from the menu totally blew Mario Kart 64 out of the water at the time. But, like I said, I think MK64 has aged better, and is more fun to play today.

SSX, SSX Tricky and SSX 3 are totally rad games. I remember when the McDonalds had those Gamecube stations with SSX setup back in 2001 and 2002. I played those more than the kids did. On Tour is where they started to loose me and Blur looked so bad that I didn't even wanna touch it. Never tried the new PS3 edition, though. Is it any good?

Yeah SSX 1-3 FTW!

Ehh the new ones are decent at best...

Are abominations compare to their older brothers at the worst

In my opinion the first one is the best. My second favorite is SSX 3 which is the first one that I owned when it came out in 2003.

Mine, too! I first bought it in 2000 when the PS2 came out. I like both Tricky and SSX 3 about the same. On Tour is definitely my least favorite.

Thanks for listing the ones I like everyone :). Here are some that haven't been listed
