I can’t think of very many other things are in our culture to the point where it becomes a genre.

I’m trying to figure out this thought and I want to get some discussion going.

Clarification - I’m high right now and just pursuing a train of thought.

Is your high brain saying it’s weird that something done in real life became a genre of games? Because there are lots of games where you simulate real stuff, like golfing or playing a guitar or becoming an independent socialist Ireland.

Also racing games are cool. I like Need for Speed. Shift 2 is my favorite. Also Driver: San Fransisco is extremely good.

Idk racing and competition is fun. Sports cars are cool, it’s just cars aren’t good for mass transportation.

Counterpoint: Playing Colin McRae Rally with my friends on the og xbox back in the day was the most fun I’ve ever had gaming

All of us in the same room together getting high, passing the controller and the bong around, going head-to-head on our favourite WRC stages

Good times :wholesome:

That game was a lot of fun splitscreen, especially on the ice tracks where you’d just slip and slide through the turns.

I’d say that Kart racers don’t have that problem, but then I saw what happened to Mario Kart and Chocobo Grand Prix…

As an F Zero fan, they could give us a little bit of this instead of “no new game in almost 20 years cause we can’t come up with so.e stupid gimmick to add”

It’s wack. That being said, living with my folks for a couple months, it has been really fucking fun playing Mario kart with them. Same room multi-player is the best kind of playing video games.

None of that would really be a problem if they weren’t literal fascists when it comes to controlling their IP. Nobody is allowed to make games except for them, and OFC all they do are shitty rehashes.

Having the same engine really isn’t an issue since a game is usually upgraded as new games are released on it. As an example Frostbite has been used in Battlefield for a very long time but is more capable it was a decade ago. And Unreal Engine 5 is a different version than 4, but its not like they wrote a new engine from scratch. It’s an update
