I watched it what about have you ever done top 10 best ps3 racing games?

One of my favorite racing games on the PS1 is NASCAR Rumble. Despite the name, it really doesn't have anything to do with NASCAR, other than the car liveries. It's pure arcade racing on a large variety of tracks. By default there are Mario Kart style powerups, but these can be turned off if you'd prefer to just race without getting hit by tornadoes and other things every ten seconds. The tracks are quite well done and often have a variety of hidden shortcuts, and you can bash the other cars. It's the closest thing to a Burnout game on the PS1.

Excellent list as per usual 😊 Side note: Ridge Racer Type 4 FOREVER!

Huge fan of Wipeout. The first one had the best framerate in the PS1 era. Not so forgiving wall collisions though. And the soundtracks are always awesome.

The 1st installment of Driver takes me back. It was hilarious how the cops rammed me up into the air like a Fast & Furious movie. 😆

The problem with Driver 2, was that it was too ambitious for the Ps1 and ran too poorly. Recently, a fan called Soapy ported the game to PC (the project it´s called ReDriver2) and fixed many of this issues and bugs. Running the game at 30fps it´s a very different experience for sure!

Even sometimes that wont even handle 30fps. Even freeze on a simple driving moment. That game uses a lot of Ram, or even exceed the console capacities.

Pitbull Syndicate games during the PS1 era almost always brought their A-game when it came to soundtracks (we don't talk about Test Drive 4), and while their selections for the PS2 reboot of Test Drive was a VERY mixed bag, they did better with Test Drive: Eve of Destruction, which was also a bit of a spiritual successor to Demolition Racer...

R4 is simply one of the best racing games even compared to modern choices in the genre.

@ifrit35

Yes it does stand out. Simply because devs wanted to set the tone right from the intro and the whole game was stylish and cohesive. Most games that go for realism end up outdated regardless of genre.

Amazing work man, f1 2000, collin mc rae would be my pick, but i spent an insane amout of time with test driver 5, is not good by any means but at the time it was the only choice

You definitely should check F-1 Grand Prix 1996 - Team Unei Simulation. It's an ps1 f1 manager sim where you take control of your own team from scratch and its criminally underrated

I would have chosen F1 '99 (or '97) and NFS 3 over DD2, but this is a great list overall. Also, Grand Tour Racing 98 deserves recognition for it's sheer variety alone, especially when compared to the likes of Porsche Challenge.

TQ for good compilation. Now that I am getting a Retroid Pocket, it's time to revisit all the old racing games.

Ridge Raceeer! I didn't even realize I still know the name of that cute polygon lady right off the top of my head after all this time, Reiko Nagase! The intro is so elegant and tasteful too, It was one intro that I never skipped(along with Soul Blade.) The whole game, in fact, just oozes class. Namco BGM were the best in those days, Tekken, Ridge Racer, damn they were good. And that scene with the sound system volume knob with the Namco credit on it in the beginning of the intro is iconic, as far as I'm concerned.

That loading pattern is interesting. That would imply that you could do the same system link with one disc for Wipeout titles if I recall correctly because you could swap their disc out and insert your music CD disc to listen while racing for Wipeout once a course had loaded and you could pause on the track to do the music CD swap....

Great video but I’d say NFS Porsche Unleashed beats Porsche Challenge, and I’d prob drop F1 2000 over something like NFS 3:Hot Pursuit or NFS High Stakes.

I'm Antonio from Italy, my favorite racing game is "Ridge Racer Type 4" of year 1998 from NAMCO, fantastic graphic and great musics, hours of funny !

🔴 Echoing that V-Rally 2 suggestion. Amazingly smooth, blistering support up to 4 player splitscreen, decent physics, had infinitely adjustable ranges for angle/height and viewing distance when using third-person camera (at least in single-player) and had a very impressive track stage creator. 🔴 Don't have Toca World Touring Cars but I do have ToCA 2: Touring Car Challenge and I'm looking forward to doing 2 and upwards of 4 player systemlink on a pair of PS1s. It's amazing the details that were afforded to the side and rear view mirrors including the actions of the driver when at that POV not to forget the mechanical physics - how the car steered, etc. - after taking on corresponding damage. 🔴 Rollcage 2 as well 👍

Dude are you nuts no NfS ? The best ones are in PS1

My fav: ridge race, collin mcrally, turismo, and Nfs

Interesting list. Even though the NFS Porsche Challenge has free roam and cop chases I still think for PSX as top ten games NFS High Stakes reigns supreme. Its well known that High Stakes is best on PSX. Then I'd go for Wipeout 3 SE... kudos for choosing Toca 2 and Colin McRae Rally 2.. Gran Turismo 2 played with the negCon emulation enabled is a joy. I like the variety of the list.. if Racing Lagoon had an english patch I'd mention that too.

I had both the first two on this list + NFS III: hot pursuit and High stakes. Didn't needed anything else. If i have to enlist then it would be: 1-Ridge racer Type 4: tons of cars of any type you imagine, diferents specs, narrative, creativity, fun, replayability, graphics, general smoothness, gameplay, charm and the soundtrack. Simply amazing. 2-NFS: High stakes: the action, the collection of cars (only matched by NFS2:SE), nice graphics, car damage, wheather conditions, hours of day, and again...the soundtrack. 3-Gran turismo 2: being the first attempt as a serious simulator say a lot. Plus ton of cars, put too much emphasis in JDM, im not complaining but needed more super and racing cars from the era and at the time lacked some important brands that other games had, great graphics, diferents types of racing such as Rallying, the tests and courier mode where simply amazing. But the real deal of gran turismo started in PS2. 4-NFS III: same aspects than High stakes but while it had my beloved Italdesing Nazca, It lacked some important aspect of the NFS of the era. The McLaren F1... .
