The "stories" is what made all racing games SHITE. All the racing games in the last years have these hipsters, alphabet people, gangstas, bs, festivals or whatever it is called, with this "subculture", a stupid map, where you can clck where to go to "race" and get "rep", "bank" or "heat" ... FFS ... And then you have tons of super cars right away, money thrown at you, get bombarded with stuff, more stuff, moaaaaaaaar All the while the actual racing aspect, and the sense of achievement is completely taken out. You should start racing with a shitty car, then just drive, maybe later you unlock better cars and so on. This way you feel that you achieved something.

IMO, the problem with the car combat genre today is that too many such games are focused on racing. You kind of alluded to this here when you talk about how putting guns in a racing game makes it too chaotic and distracts from the racing for a lot of people. The thing is, if you go back and look at the golden age of car combat in the late '90s and early '00s, you'll find that one of the big things that _Twisted Metal,_ _Vigilante 8,_ _Interstate '76,_ and other car combat games from that time had in common was that they _weren't_ racing games. They were shooters on wheels. You weren't trying to get to the finish line first, you were trying to be the last one standing. You don't see many people praising the racing levels in the 2012 _Twisted Metal_ reboot as the best parts of that game, is all I'm saying. The problem is, outside of open-world games like _Grand Theft Auto,_ these days lots of developers see "cars" and automatically think "racing game", so they try to shoehorn racing elements into these games even though this genre is called "car combat" rather than "combat racing". What's more, these days "racing game" usually means "racing sim", or at least "simcade" racers that maintain some level of realism, and that type of racing game suffers the most from trying to add combat elements. Like you said, the only kind of combat racing games that are consistently successful are kart racers, which throw realism to the wind and have most of the fun come from wacky hijinks and outrageous stunts. The kind of modern car combat game I'd love to see, and one that I believe could be successful, is one that takes less influence from _Need for Speed_ or _Gran Turismo_ and more from _War Thunder_ or _World of Tanks._ Swap out the military vehicles for lighter, faster civilian vehicles and make the gameplay more fast-paced, but otherwise, have the same combat-focused gameplay, including game modes more reminiscent of a shooter (deathmatch, capture the flag, et cetera) than a racing game. If you wanna have the larger-than-life drivers of the classic _Twisted Metal_ games, you could also throw in elements of a hero shooter in there.

I know I'm a month late to the party, but I love fictional vehicles! It really allows the developers to go all out with their imagination. I LOVE the vehicles of Ridge Racer, in RR7 they even included some lore for each vehicle. And they even carry over fictional brands from each iteration. Like Kamata, Danver, Gnade and Assoluto. As an someone who's trying to make a game like Ridge Racer, I'm doing the same. Its so much fun to make vehicles unique, another fictional vehicle I absolutely love is the Quartz Regalia, square enix made some of the coolest vehicles like the Hardy Daytona and the Fenrir.

Its quite smooth and I barely notice any significant frame drops.
