From the carnage of Burnout to the underground street racing culture of Midnight Club, Nexus Hub explores five racing game franchises that are in need of a revival today.
Game Rant Writes "Few racing franchises have had as much impact as Midnight Club, and it is unlikely that any other franchise will fill its enormous shoes."
Rockstar, you left me with a gaping Midnight hole that no one else seems to be able to fill. We're all waiting patiently for you to come into our Midnight holes again... deep within our hearts. Sincerely, Everybody.
In case you missed them go back and try the last 3 forza horizon games. Cool story though.........wish those games were on playstation so people would admit they're good.
I don't think many people say Forza is outright bad. The main comparison I remember is that it's one of only 3 exclusives Xbox ever releases. (Halo, Forza, Gears)
I could be wrong though. Lot of tribalism with video games.
Yes for sure Microsoft is way behind sony in the exclusives department. I was just speaking specifically racing games. To me forza horizon 3 and 5 are the two best racers ever.
Forward horizon is good but it's just not the same vibe and pretty incomparable to the midnight club series
I'll admit I've only played the original Forza, which was VASTLY different than what the franchise became. So I have no real opinion on it. But I'm not a huge racing fan either. I play the Need for Speed games. And Gran Turismo.....sometimes.
Game preservationists Forest of Illusion have released the source code for the original Wipeout PS1 online, as well as its Windows port.
Featuring historical context and an interview with the designer, we take a look at the controversial WipEout poster that caused uproar in the UK press.
Amazing poster and one of the best racing franchises in the games industry - Period
No game give you the speed and rush like WipEout and the music is a key component to the game
Must make lots more WipEout's
mourne for that late 90s and 00s swag. All the cool stuff never known by dumb child me, curses!
I agree absolutely with Ridge Racer, but would prefer what Namco did with Ridge Racers on the PSP. Basically pull Ridge Racer 1-5 together, make it all about drifting and create new tracks with the same oldskool Arcade Feel. Wipeout however? Redout and Ballistic NG replaced it for me. I miss Rock N Roll Racing in this list
Beetle Adventure Racing
I would love to see Rockstar put another Midnight Club out. I remember that game fondly, the customization was top notch at the time. It had a nice arcady feel to the driving, but looking at the cars was the main point.
I need a new Juiced game
Destruction Derby
