Great outro! Since this is your first essay, a few suggestions about the audio. Raise the overall volume of the audio track to get closer to 0dB (where it's red), but don't cross it. Your video here is very quiet in volume. If you can, try to speak with a bit more expression. Some parts were a bit hard to understand. Really good first video with good footage and also very well condensed into 12 minutes; felt longer!

Man my brother was and is still obsessed racing games. I use to hate it because I was never good at them but every once and while today, I see him boot up his ps2 and play Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift and Midnight Club 3 and I can't help but feel nostalgic. And heck maybe one day I'll try out the racing genre. A really great video, my dude!

Definitely recommend starting with arcade racing games first for the feel before starting with sim stuff

It's actually depressing how lackluster the PS4 and now the PS5 have been with arcade racers. The most I could find was Wreckfest, Wipeout Omega Collection which is technically a remake and Burnout Paradise... which is a remaster. I have tried to look into the indies but they fail to capture the spirit and vibe of a classical arcade racer whether it's due to the lack of budget, polish or direction. But there is good news. The 3D platformers went through a similar phase, they peaked during the 6th gen (just like most genres tbh) and completely vanished in the 7th generation. For a while, it looked like that trend was going to continue but once Activision pushed out the N.Sane Trilogy, a lot more started popping off, whether it was from AA studios or indies with caliber. I think we might see a similar resurgance with arcade racers this gen.

Best option right now is CarX street racing. Sadly they are talking too long to launch their PC/console version of the game, but at least the mobile version looks promising.

It's a shame after seeing all of these amazing old gems in the that nowadays none of the studios can try to be innovative whatsover, rather only stick to making as "super realistic physics and graphics" while the gameplay is just boring as hell.

I choose to play Need for Speed: High Steaks over Forza Horizon 5 any day of the week. FH5 is just so boring to play without having any main objective that is rewarding. The game just give you cars and money as soon you start breathing and I just wonder what is the point of driving the lower power cars without any steaks to it or tied to a restricted event which most of the time means nothing if you came in 1st or 7th place. In Need 4 Speed (Get it, It's the forth game of the serie- Ill shut up now.) there is the game mode called "High Steaks" when you can LOSE your car if you lose the race, betting on your car to either gain a car in your garage or it's less space in your garage. Also you can't bet on your only car so you can't soft-lock yourself. That game mode alone get's my blood pumping! It's the F word all along, *FUCK!*

I agree with this, even though I mainly play sim racing games. Sim-games have been very stale lately, although many great games this past decade, they all feel relatively similar and focus on the same things which as you said makes sense since they try to capture reality. I couldn't care less about Forza 8, I know its going to be a game I have already played before, and I say that as a giant fan of Forza 4 and even Forza 1 growing up. Even as mostly a sim-racer, PGR was one of my favorite series growing up, and so was Need For Speed. It's just sad to sad to witness, not just racing games but of what have become of the entire gaming industry at this point. You are absolutely right about the copycat mentality in the industry, back in the day all devs did their own thing and tried to to what they believed in as good as possible. Now its just follow the leader. The problem imo stems from the fact that the industry has reached beyond maturity. We get market consolidation, we get increasingly lower risk taking from ever growing game companies that cannot fail their releases, we get a mainstream target audience that don't really know what trhey truly want but follow the latest trends regardless and we as a result get a very stale industry. It sadly happens to most industries that reach the maturity state unfortunately.

Trail Out Game

I think the biggest issue really is development time and cost vs. the risk of it being a massive flop and bringing the studio down with it. Back in the PS2 days it was much less risky to just try something new, and if it doesn´t work out you just move on to the next thing. Even something like NfS Underground was a risky move at the time, before that game NfS was all about exotic Sports and Luxury cars driven in equaly exotic places. Something like a Mustang or 911 Porsche felt like it was the boring end of the spectrum in many of those games, and then Underground suddently changed pretty much everything. Or Angel Studios / Rockstar San Diego. Midnight Club was more or less a evolution of their Midtown Madness games, but they also did Smuggler´s Run, which was the less successful of the two franchises. Nowadays it really feels that only smaller Studios are willing to take a risk, stuff like art of rally, Hotshot Racing, Horizon Chase Turbo, Wreckfest or even some of the Sci-Fi stuff like Grip and Redout are among the best Racing games from recent years that I played. Meanwhile, Gran Turismo 7 feels like a bad imitation of what the franchise once was, Forza Horizon somehow can´t keep me hooked, NASCAR for the last decade or so is stuck with some of the worst games that Franchise had, F1 and the last few WRC games nailed their gameplay a few entries ago and felt very samey ever since to the point that a mediocre Story Mode in F1 felt like a great inovation to me. Personally, I´m happy with playing older games and smaller releases, there is still so much to discover that I don´t really need a new mass market success from one of the big Studios, but I wouldn´t say no to a new Burnout in the Style of 3 and Revenge or a new, numbered Ridge Racer.

Racing games were so much better before the 2010’s. These days it’s all about super ultra realistic racing games and that’s why they’re so boring. I miss the old graphics. Think about this. The last console I bought (not counting handhelds) was an Original Xbox. I would rather play Original Xbox games for the first time in my life then ever play PlayStation 5 and these Xbox games are actually fun to play over the new stuff that exist.

Im so glad rally sport challenge is included because it was a really fun rally game and is often forgotten abouy. Stuntman was also fun

What I got from this video: Trend is the most evil five-letter word in existence.

As a person who has PGR3 it’s always fun to go back and play and I’m going to get PGR2 and 4 at some point but I’m saddened that that pumpkin studio is gone bc they did so good and I wish they could come back but it’s impossible however what saddens me is that I’m glad they aren’t around anymore because I know they would’ve just become just like Turn 10 has.

Great video my man, I've been a fan of racing games since the NFS Underground era, and truly it hurts right in the childhood to not be able to enjoy the genre anymore

In my opinion, online is killing racing games as they’re more focused on multiplayer and updates other than creating a good story and deeper modification and releasing finished games … I do have gran Turismo 7 but use this as an example it’s not a pick up and play as it’s unfinished in my opinion unlike when gran Turismo 4 came out, everything was there already. I understand people like to play each other online etc but that’s why there is no story modes, and single player length stuff

I'd increase the volume of voice. Both above background and in general.

As an old person I had it great growing up: Gran Turismo, GOOD Need For Speed, Ridge Racer, Midnight Club, Burnout, and more. It's sad that the next generation of auto enthusiasts have such limited options.

*The PS3/Xbox360 Era did everything innovative with the racing genre, honestly. There's really nothing else new to do that will surprise players anymore.*

Triple A titles aren't for the true racing fans, just towards the people to make money. Racing games needs innovation more than ever

I really enjoyed this, racing games made up the majority of my childhood. The elements that were in those games, and are missing in most modern racing games is an engaging driving feel. regardless of the level realism, collisions were costly and kinetic. Weight transfer mattered, so you could describe the feeling of the car as dancing, squirrely, fishtailing ect.. I enjoyed that feeling of taking the ideal line while the road markings zigged and zagged under my car. I enjoyed the crispness of the visuals. Sounds were not ever delayed, this is important to me. I want to see the collision, hear it and feel it. So many modern games leave the sound to lag while prioritizing graphics. Forza Horizon bothers me especially. I'm glad we have it, but going from that to the original sega rally I lean forward in my seat, wow that looks fun. I would love to see a part two discussing what is so unfun about modern racing games. my all time favorite is Rush 2049.

This was one of the last places I expected to hear Splatoon music, but it's a welcome addition. Great vid

I really liked the video. I was a racing game fan since playing Daytona USA in the arcade. Your idea that the pinnacle of racing game genre hit the sixth generation is a good one. A few things I want to share: 1. Golden Age. The racing genre golden age started in the arcades (especially SEGA) starting in late 80s with the likes of Namcos Winning Run, these racers in arcades were technical marvels and would not see similar home graphics and frame rates until the sixth generation. For me, the PS1 gave rise to a breed of racer that was more simulation and offered more in tracks and customisation, away from the loud, brash and impressive arcade cousins. These styles would merge in the sixth generation. 2. GTA. I don’t know if you agree but I see one catalyst for the demise of the racer- GTA (and similar open world). In GTA 5 I have the freedom of driving around on many surfaces in a huge range of vehicles. I can also compete in races. I can understand why the non hardcore driving gamer has no need for stand alone racing- GTA and it’s ilk offers enough. 3. Multiplayer. Back in those arcades, the racer was the genre that impressed more then other, especially multiplayer. It has perhaps seen greater competition from FPS in terms of multiplayer. The rise of FPS really exploded in that 7th generation, once consoles were stronger online. In line with driving game decline? 4. Future. I see innovation to be hard for a genre that asks players to drive from point to point. One could argue that GTA has already set the path of innovation and the rest are all stuck in repetition? One other avenue to explore is VR I guess. What’s clear is, I think the pure racing genre has settled away from being a mainstream genre, much like the fighting game, which has suffered in a similar way.

Bro knows what hes talking about👍 great editing too👌

A very interesting video that won't get the love it deserves. For me, earlier driving games were like you said, fun. Driving games on current gen have mostly gone down the route of trying to be too realistic which for a lot of us took the fun out of it. Here is my experience of driving games now. I have Rush Rally origins and hill climb 2 on my ipad which you may scoff at but they are what games should be..... fun. Not going for realistic but keeping it simple and fun. Not to say mobile devices can't do more realistic as them games are out there but I don't play them as they aren't as much fun. For the PS5, I have GT7, art of rally,burnout paradise city, hot wheels, dirt 4, project cars 2 and wreckfest. I also have a wheel setup so can play them better than using a controller. The 2 mobile games I would say are the most fun and easy to pick up and put down. Art of rally is supposed to be simple and fun but the handling is like steel wheels on ice. Burnout while good at the time, just doesn't seem to be that good any more.PC2 is ok as it has a more realistic edge but still forgiving enough to have fun with. Dirt 4 I play on the arcade handling model so I can have fun throwing a stadium truck or buggy round a mud course when I want to. Hot wheels is kinda like art of rally where the overly loose handling just socks the fun out of it for me. Gt7 has just become a corporate entity focusing on simple racing and no fun at all. It's only redeeming feature being that it's not totally behind a paywall and they do free updates. When it comes to the most fun game I have on console, I would say its wreckfest by a mile. I am in a minority here as obviously thr dim games are where the money is so must mean people buy them. I did look at the new need for speed but them over the top cartoon graphics are really naff.

We will never get a year like 2005 again 😢

Growing up with PlayStation 2 & PSP during late 2000s & beyond was a great pleasure experience

I came up with a racing game thats like the tf2 of racing games, with bizarre vehicles that you would not see on the tracks, like police cars, fire trucks, RV's, school busses, and more. Each vehicle would have their own special ability, speed, strength, and lore

This was a great video. The 5th, 6th and 7th gen had the funnest and best racing games like: • 5TH GEN Jet Moto series Hydro Thunder San Francisco Rush trilogy Cruis’n series Beetle Adventure Racing F-Zero series Wave Race 64 Top Gear Overdrive Diddy Kong Racing wipEout series • 6TH GEN ATV Offroad Fury 1-4 ATV Quad Power Racing 2 Burnout series Crazy Taxi 3: High Roller Downhill Domination FlatOut series FREEKSTYLE Jak X: Combat Racing Juiced series L.A. Rush Midnight Club series Midtown Madness 3 Motocross Mania 3 MX Unleashed Need for Speed series OutRun 2006 Quantum Redshift Roadkill Sled Storm Splashdown series SSX series Test Drive series • 7TH GEN Blur DiRT series Driver San Francisco Fatal Inertia Fuel Full Auto series GRID ModNation Racers MotorStorm series Nail’d Project Gotham Racing series Pure Ridge Racer: Unbounded Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing Sorry for writing all these games down. I’m just nostalgic for arcade type racers. I wish at least a quarter of these will make a return.

One complication that racing games have to deal with is driving feel. We all know what real cars feel like. Sim racers just have to match that well. Arcade racers have to do something different while still getting something easy to pick up and be comfortable with. There were a ton of old arcade racers that looked extremely fun, but felt awful after just 1 lap. I hated MSR/PGR. They looked great, but the handling never felt comfortable, and the Kudos system felt like it punished me for focusing on winning. Grid always felt just slightly off. It was almost worse than a game that didn't pretend to be grounded in reality. A lot of F-Zero style games were too twitchy for new player to get into. It's a lot to get right. Enough franchises did get it right that I don't think it was the main problem, but it definitely piled on top of what you already discussed.

I feel the racing genre's decline is due in part to it leaning too far towards realism. There's only one real life, and when every game is focused on capturing that, it's inevitable that they'll all look and play the same. Show me random, unlabeled screenshots of GT7, Assetto Corsa, and promo shots of Forza Motorsport 8 and I will struggle to tell which game is which at first glance. The only differences in gameplay will be how accurately they depict real-world driving physics. The casual gamer play games to have a fun time, not pour through menus for hours to set up their R8 LMS GT3 for the Nürburgring. The reason they're no longer interested in the racing genre is because racing game devs focus more on tire models than on what most people want out of a video game: *_FUN._* To revitalize the genre, we need games that focus on giving us a fun time instead of simulating how it's like to be Max Verstappen. P.s.: As for The Crew Motorfest and it looking like a Forza Horizon clone, I see that less as a symptom of the decline of the genre and more of the usual "follow the leader" habit the gaming industry has. I mean, look at how many battle royale games came out in the wake of Fortnite. Or for a racing game example: the tons of games about street racing with riced out Civics after NFS Underground came out.

Seems to be the problem of gaming in general for AAA releases at least.

IMO, racing games hit their peak with Ridge Racer 7 for PS3, The massive upgrade in visuals, sound and gameplay, the enormous range of courses, hidden cars, the perfect middle ground between fantasy and reality. Also, the best OST in any racing game. It was perfect. I wish they'd make a 4K remaster. But, now PSVR2 is a thing, any new game in the series will probably include that.

I miss the old style of racing games and the 6th and 7th era of consoles games because the direction was great but it a shame it going into a dark turn of it former self.

I would not necessarily call it a standstill. Many games, especially Forza Horizon, have improved graphically over the years but have been massively dumbed down in terms of gameplay to appeal to a wider audience. That's far worse than a standstill in my opinion....

best way to look at things, investors are not customers but loans that get all the profit

Have you heard of NASCAR? Along with Lego 2K Drive? Some of those games?

My love for racing was rekindled by PSVR2 and GT7. Nothing like it.

Test drive Unlimited 2 was the first game I ever played. Ever since I have been bouncing between more serious racing games like Gran Turismo, F1 and Project Cars 2, and road driving games like various Need for Speed titles and The Crew. Honestly, I enjoy both types. I love my more serious racing, but also I love just driving around on a crazy built car.

Seeing Kiryu in the outro is amazing. 👌 I miss the old days of good and great racing games. Still hoping for another Midnight Club or a NfS Underground Remake.

The racing genre today has *_no_* passion or creativity as everything wants to be a Horizon copy, simulator, or a blatant mobile game worth $60-100. This combined with microtransactions, broken economies, and *_endless grinding_* has effectively killed all interest of me getting anything new. I go back and play older PS2 titles such as Hotwheels: World Race & Stunt Track Challenge, and even titles I haven’t played yet like Parasite Eve and Dino Crisis since they are much more enjoyable and *_worth_* your time.

Such a bittersweet feeling looking at all these games that we lost in the wash of time.

I feel so honored to live in the sixth generation of racing games it was truly golden era and I wish I could go back I wish devs could make games great again.

Had a goosebump when that Driveclub OST dropped, still hits hard. PS: the racing game genre need more AA and indie games to thrive again I think, Triple A is way too risky with little to no benefit (unless you're the big 3). Part of the problem might be exposure and marketing, there are plenty of great and good racing games unique to their niche right now; games such as Wreckfest, Snowrunner, Art of Rally, Ride 4, Grid Legends, Dakar Desert Rally, Inertial Drift, MX vs ATV Legends, etc. Nobody just know about them since they're just not talked about all that much nor are they marketed all that well. I think the devs has just realized that most people don't care about racing games anymore, and has decided to focus on the people who are already into the genre.

Your analysis is spot on. I love Gen 5 & 6 racing games because of the diversity and experimentation. What is the "drive by" game you mentioned? I couldn't find it. Also that Test Drive Unlimited music really took me back!

Great video! Ever since Horizon 5 released and couldn't keep my full attention for more than a month, I came to a realization that the racing genre has been stuck in this exact non innovating state. Forza has released the same 3 motorsport and Horizon games this last decade, NFS has too and they've all seem to be missing the mark each time. It hit me even more when I decided to pick up a 360 slim again and start trying out older racing titles again from my childhood, I started seeing how great older titles were and I then started collecting racing titles I missed out on growing up. I've had a blast with so many and it's become my favorite genre to collect for. Now I picked up a PS3 Slim and Original Xbox as well since then and haven't played much on my modern consoles. It really is sad to see the arcade racing genre die off. I only hope developers catch on and start trying new things cause until then I can't see myself buying a new racing game again unless it's heavily discounted.

@RodriguezRacer 456 I couldn't agree more. Simulation racing is great and all but we need arcade racers to come back and mix the genre up again. If I wanted realism 100% of the time I'd build a low budget track car or better yet actually take my subaru out for a drive.

One day, this fanbase of so many passionate people will get what they want. I love this genre, and I love everyone who plays it. Our return will come.. one day

I wish someday, someone will make a racing sim that is set to a really big map, like a full scale map of a country, and then focus on the detail of the cars instead of the map. That way, altho the map doesn't look as good and polished as Forza Horizon does, at least you have so much roads to drive on, like TDU2 and the crew did.

The only real innovation is coming from indie games. Inertial Drift is a criminally underrated game with gameplay so deep you could drown in it.

Amazing video and a great watch Just want to say I think another reason they are dying out is there aren’t really any games getting released that kids can easily access. At my job the boss brings in his son who is about 13 and he owns quite a few modern racing games like FH5 but just isn’t interested when he can easily find fun in games like Fortnite. It’d be nice to see them advance for older fans but they also need to break into the market for kids to bring a new generation of fans into the genre

Racing games were so much better before the 2010’s. These days it’s all about super ultra realistic racing games and that’s why they’re so boring. I miss the old graphics. Think about this.

Eden returned with Gear Club on mobile to Unlimited on Switch and PS5 but whoever is at that studio no idea but they aren't working on the new Test Drive that's for sure even if cool it's coming back but no real footage to speak of really. I only got around to Flatout with 2 and SBK08 recently so got a way to go with some racing games besides researching many. Having a blast with Flatout 2 and SBK08 is fine but awkward at times. Burnout Paradise isn't the same as the old ones as much so I'll get to those eventually. PGR1-4 I neveyplaydd until 2020 and love them. MotorStorm trying to get I to 1 is a bit awkward and Driveclub is great. Blur is magical but Split Second seems cool though from what I've come across. Ridge Racer PSP 2 and Type 4 are great want to play 6&7. Racing games It's more selling brands of cars and tracks and business models then anything and I personally don't care. Do I care about the cars sure but mostly the structure of the games like others. I'll play a game with challenge modes then the seasonal modes in licensed games. If it has an interesting gimmick but just being fancy and trendy nah couldn't care less. Won't deny kart racers have always been there, we have Hot wheels Unleashed of course and futuristic racing games are filling in again while WipEout is on mobile and probably pushed aside and F Zero is........ But PC/Console many are coming back or new. But for the variety and attempts even if not all were good or succeeded yeah sixth gen was good and fifth gen had more arcadey ones by many Devs besides Need for Speed and GT games You had your Moto ones, your various N64 Championship something, Tuning Option, Beetle, Cruisn is on Nintendo consoles and PS1 racers by third parties for sure but I mean Destruction All-stars makes it clear not to approach a modern vehicular combat game because got to have it be appealing to a colourful (as in try to think a Fortnite looking game and arena makes people care compared to Rocket League being car football) audience that don't care about vehicles or their pretty eh idea then a Twisted Metal would have done instead shows some companies suck at attempting things these days, Sega Rally, Daytona, Outrun didn't come till sixth gen. We get exceptions like Gravel which Milestone made their fair Superstars V8 with 2 games, or the RPG racing games of Alfa Romeo and Corvette/Evolution GT mostly known for SBK bike games being as annual as MotoGP or Ride series being just the Forza 3&4 structure (at least the first game is) with bikes, and sure other bike games exist to varying quality, you get your odd mobile to console like Gear Club Unlimited 1&2 for Switch then 2 on PS5. Another oddity like Wreckfest as a Fallout successor but yeah they aren't common just outliners besides Indies that do their thing and most focus on the main IPs anyway. Racing Lagoon is cool, Driving Emotion Type S and Group S Challenge aren't great. Sega GT Dreamcast, Sega GT 2002, Shox is a forgotten EA racer, Apex, Supercar Street Challenge, Enthusia, and many others like the Tokyo Extreme, Street Racing Syndicate, Juiced, Stuntman, R Racing and Auto Modellista, even GT Advance 1-3 and Pro Series/Cube I found fun even if basic are just some random trilogies or one offs from publishers that were equally good or bad in their own way but fair attempts. Enthusia or Sega GT especially were great. Supercar Street Challenge, Apex and Sega GT have car builder modes to make custom not licenced cars which is a feature I want back in racing games badly. It's like the Battlefield 2 Modern Combat swap feature I like it a lot it's interesting. Licenses and graphics don't excite me. Good structure for campaign modes and physics do. Mechanics are what I got to platformers for even besides the nice personality they have. (but Gravel being a point to point, speedway or circuit racing game but it's not common we don't get those anymore sure Dirt is great but otherwise I can't think of any really that big budget at least doing it) compared to the IPs that are still around. Shox was a surprise to me from EA Big, the other notable you said of sixth gen as there is so much to explore there for different types of racing games. Licensed, rally/rallycross, circuit, drag, arcade, Simcades and more. The Art of Rally and other types are great with some Horizon Chase Turbo and other nostalgia focused games but it isn't the same. Project Cars and Grid were more what I've gone to as GT is eh, Forza I don't have hope for Motorsport 8/reboot at all but will give it a go on Gamepass. When Grid Legends is safe but the best I played of modern racing games I tolerated to a platinum you know racing games have problems. I'll get to Wreckfest eventually I do want to play it but eh some are good some are eh and gaps lack and licensed MotoGP, Formula 1, WRC and more are fine but they don't fill in the other gap.

Can anyone tell me the game at 3:17? I used to love playing as a kid but forgot the name

You should make video volume louder. Despite that, good video man ;)

I have hope in The Crew Motorfest, I played the beta & it was a lot of fun, especially the Demolition Royale. Something odd though is I feel mobile racing games are better in some cases compared to regular racing games. I mean the kinda crap you can pull off in Asphalt 8 puts Forza Horizon 5 to shame.

You either need to get a better mic or increase the volume on your voice because people need to hear the truth you're speaking more clearly. I'm not a hardcore racing fan, but I enjoyed 6th and 7th gen racing so much more then what we have now.

What was the song used in the outro? It isn't listed in the description.

how du you only have 350 subs!?!??

awesome video

Even though the current state of racing games has become pretty stale, im actually looking forward for new diversity in the presentation, such as what NFS: Unbound did.

Great video, really good essay, what's the name of the game on 12:26 ?

Hi, please could you provide the name of the outro song?

I got to see and play during the early days of the Need For Speed Franchise, from NFS II SE, going all the way to Hot Pursuit (2010). Got to play some of the more arcade games like Burnout and Blur. Midnight Club LA was a fun time too. Eventually I made the move to simulation and hybrid games with Forza 3 and Project Gotham Racing 4 being my most played games at the time (man did i put a lot of hours into those). So here i am, the weird realistic sim-loving normie that actually plays other videogames and engages in videogame discourse. It always seemed weird to me how back in the late 2000s and early 2010s we had major companies releasing racing simulations with several huge franchises competing for a slice of the cake. Nowadays the genre seems all but dead with a few specific category-oriented games like the Formula 1 or WRC releasing regularly. Project CARS died, Gran Turismo 7 is abysmal, and Forza hasn't released a new motorsport game in 6 years now, and no Horizon is NOT a simulation.

Yeah, dude, unfortunately now there's complete stagnation

here before it gets famous

We have Sims now

Volume is very very low

new game bad old game good moving on

Racing genre has been dry for years especially if you want arcade type experiences. Just about everything from the AAA space is open world simcade stuff. Which ive had my fill of years ago because it feels like I'm playing the same game no matter who is the developer. I have to depend on the smaller developers to give actual variety and even lots of those are spiritual successors to things we used to have

The only elite games that released on ps3 and 360 were Motorstorm and Burnout Paradise

i dont for the life of me understand where wipeout disappeared too. why would nobody pick up that franchise? (sidenote, volume of mic way too low, watching at 3am and absolutely terrified of a advert suddenly blowing up my entire block)
