Im really in for some racing games lately, but I haven't played any for years except NFS 2, GTA:SA and NFS underground.

So can anyone recommend me some GOOD and newer race games? I'd be happy Cool

For pc there is not really any good racing games lately except from those you said in your message . If i was you i will wait Nfs Most Wanted and World RAcing 2 wich looks to be the best racing games to come in a near futur . Otherwise if you have consoles have a try on gt 4 on ps 2 and Forza on xbox wich are the only 2 good racing games realesed since the last 6 months .

Fia GTR and Live for Speed, which are two of the most accurate racing titles, and also Toca Race Pro Drive 2.

I'm surpirsed you even consider GTA:SA a racing game, its like calling Deer Hunter a fps, when its a hunting game.

Yeah I know its not really a racing game but I really liked the simple style/controls they used in GTA:SA.

Toca Race Driver 2 is nice, especially on-line if you are not into spending hour upon hour setting cars up


(setting timer)


I looked up "gormless" in the dictionary, it said "without gorm" .... so i looked up "gorm" but it wasn't there ????

Live for Speed for a realistic simulation (biggest online racing community), check out the free demo, you can play online with it without limitations.

Flatout for demolition.

i know like everyone is gonna disagree on me, but i just found out that disabling bloom and motion blur finally enables AA in Juiced, and its PLayable now!, lol..... its a fucking nice game, not that many customisation options, but the gfx are better than nfsu2, and you can race on day, its a bit like the good old arcade racers, set courses trough cities and beaches, except that the physics when using a wheel easily blows all the nfs games away!!
*me in love*

I mean just look at those reflections.


And proper white!

I might give it a try (again) after reading this.
The game is not bad at all, but some strange gfx (blur was already turned 'off') made the game crispy. I'm hoping to play this one in LAN very fast, this will probably be better then NFS:U, the controls (wheel) are already better, so... Smile

do give it a go, just great. some random crashes though, but not so often. and if you got a lcd it's dark and you drive blind at night. gamma doesn't work somehow and the brightness is not helping on blacks, but doesn't matter, know the tracks forward and reverse by now. (world 7th Razz) give me a hong if you see me, only thing it's missing is a chat. used to have the voip thingie on, but soon disabled after someone was playing drums while racing Very Happy

depth of field and reflections on, rest just make it uglier. oh and look at those building and cloud shadows moving and waterdrop that move with speed and the checkered flag reflection on rain *drools*

that's great if you have a FF wheel and don't mind sweating your ass off everytime you race. didn't have enough patience to really get in to it, heard there's even a onlinemod for it now. but you really tune up our car settings more than race Smile

It's strange that we have all these people with super high end rigs, but don't really know what is what. We're all geeks here right? The reason why AA doesn't work in alot of new games is because of bloom.

Alot of people don't realise (and oddly, it's hard to find good technical articles on it) that bloom effects use the same video buffers that FSAA use, and consequently, when you enable bloom effects you disable AA. However, there is a glitch that if you enable both bloom and AA, you won't see AA but it will still impact your performance.

I wish I could find the technical spec sheet for atmospheric bloom Sad


i can has computar?!

I knoooow that, but i simply didnt think of it, i didnt even realise that juiced HAD bloom, since it was called something stupid instead.
I'm always yelling at ppl about bloom etc, soo i DO know whats what Wink
And the thing about Juiced is that it looks insanely corny even at high resolutions, its something odd about it, some games look like they have more pixels at lower resolutions than Juiced looks like at high resolutions.

But one thing i dont know, is how some few games like WoW (not at retail, but with the newer patches) can have bloom AND AA, i know i know, its called multisampling. But how does it work? And cant every other game use the same technique? Why use an old technique that sacrifices AA? k thx =D
