Not sure which single game is the best.

But there is no question that the Forza and Gran Turismo series are the undisputed champs of the genre.

Honorable mention for project cars (but only with a high end steering wheel setup).
>>
Depends if you want realism or not. I enjoyed NFS Underground 2, Most Wanted (the original), and mostly Carbon.

Burnout 3 was a ton of fun to just fuck around in. I guess the Forza series is alright for realism.

Star Wars Episode 1 Racing was fucking sick.

The graphics arent nearly as good as the competition. But the game still looks good.

WAY fewer cars than gran turismo.

Great physics, challenging, fun to advance through career mode.

If you have a decent steering wheel setup, it's a lot more interesting to drive than GT because you get so much more feedback. If you're on controller and enjoy a huge variety of cars, you'd be a fool to pick PC over GT.

Are there any good open-world/street-racing/free-drive games on PC without ridiculously arcadey physics? I already got my fill with Burnout Paradise and recent NFS games look like dudebro shit.

Every game that requires driving skill (P.Cars, Assetto, iRacing, rFactor, DiRT Rally, GSCE) are restricted to tracks and have shitty car lists.
>>
>>319380523

GTA V with that one mod that makes the cars all super realistic, both in terms of damage and physics.

I should also note that the mod also removes most of the fun.
>>
>>319378551

Is 6 any good? I remember playing the demo for Horizon and the pretentious premise was really off-putting for me, which later resulted in me buying 5 over Horizon 2 which was a big fucking mistake.
>>
>>319380523
Off the top of my head, The Crew and TDU.
>>
>>319380663

it has like double the cars and a dozen or so brand new tracks.

I like the physics better personally, but i know that can be a subjective sort of thing.

imo it's a lot better than 5. If you liked forza 4 and earlier forzas, you will probably love it.

If the message here is that open world + realistic physics = no fun, why is Forza Horizon 2 loved so much?

I get that Forza isn't a driving simulator, but it's about as close as you can get. Did Horizon make them more arcade?

what happened to the avoid forzas?
I only played 1 and 2 before I went PC and never got the chance to try em ever again.
>>
>>319380663

>Pretentious premise

While I also despise the "trendy music festival" setting, the Horizon games are amazing. GO buy Horizon 2 when you can. Plenty of people still play, and it's your fault you bought the turd that was 5. Forza 5 is probably one of the single worst sequels i've ever played, and a huge step back from 4 in almost every conceivable way. It's worth noting that the Forza Hub app on Xbone keeps track of stats and miles driven in both 4 and Horizon despite them being on the 360, so if you want to get some extra credits in those games fire up your Xbone and see if there's any rewards
>>
>>319380523
how do you move that vehicle around?
>>
>>319380917

Horizon games are more arcade for sure, but not by enough to hinder the fun. Especially since the landscape is open and there are many places to dodge/avoid, unlike downtown GTA. Plus the damage is non existent in horizon.

That GTA mod i was talking about has hyper realistic acceleration, braking, and damage. So you will pretty much fuck your car up beyond repair as soon as you hit something (which will be about 7 seconds after you steal the car) at even low speeds, just like a real car.

That mod is a fucking chore.

>forza 5
they literally stripped the game of all of its social features
even though they brought back dedicated lobbies in forza 4, they took it out again in forza 5
the storefront for paint jobs and tuning setups was barebones as fuck. literally the only thing to do in that game is to play career

Turn 10 is so fucking inconsistent with the quality of their games. A forza motorsport game being good/bad is a coin flip at this point. its always a hit or miss

Playground does a superb job with horizon though. Forza Horizon 2 is the GOAT

I still shake my head at how badly ISI stumbled on rF2 and how RRRE is monetized. Don't get me wrong, I like them both, but it's clear both were out of the gates way too early and trying to capitalize on a small community when it's clear everyone's moved on.

Project CARS is commendable for bringing realism to the mass market, but it's nowhere near the complete package like iRacing, rF1, or GSCE.

I love AC, but Kunos keeps confusing me as to where they want to go.

No matter what you're looking for in a racing sim, either Assetto, iRacing, rF, or P.Cars will do it better for significantly better value. It has Forza tier physics and an Oh Vey business model.

It has good sound I guess and the "free game" (which should be called a demo) is fine for testing gear, but that's it.

Did 5 even have car clubs? Also iirc 5 made you select that you wanted to find a match, then you had to confirm that you wanted that, then confirm again when it found one. If you weren't quick enough you would need to do the whole thing again. Why the fuck was the "Enter Lobby, invite friends if you want, then Select a Hopper" system scrapped in favor of shit like that?

Most concept cars are over-styled. Gets people wowed up about the design and then it gets toned down to something that complies with DOT regs. Then you have style exercises like the Mazda Furai. Looks nothing like the Mazda lineup but people get excited about it and then the styling trickles down to the pedestrian cars. (See: all the stupid smiley faces Mazda started throwing on their cars)
