Racing/driving games thread v1.0 Type-R

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

I never knew that you can’t use other people’s 100% saves for Ridge Racer 7 in case you wanted to bring it to a party with everything unlocked.

Guess who has to play through it again? God damnit.

So Pures the good one? Cool cause while I like Pulse I’m not like…impressed with it. Can you do that cool barrel rollin shit in Pulse cuz I can’t figure it out. Guess I need to hurry up and get Pure.

You can barrel roll in Pulse. Same as it is in Pure and HD - LRL or RLR in the air.

Ah cool. Thanks. My copy didn’t come with a book

Crazy Taxi possibly coming to XBLA

It’s time to make some CRAAAAAZY MONEY!

Split/Second DEMO now available on Xbox Live. I suggest you immediately get that shit.

How fucked up is it that I only want to play this to The Offspring. Like if that’s not in the game I don’t want it. And I hated that music oh so much. I hope it’s part 2. I hope it’s a 2 fer.

I like Blur more even after playing this demo. Like this game is pretty freaking cool but I don’t see it having long legs like Blur will. Split Second feels like it belongs in the arcades. That’s not a dis but it would be tight as hell to play with 8 machines lined up. We’ll find out in the last week of May who the spring racing king will be!

Split Second has got to be the most badass racer I have ever played.

I like Wipeout Pure the best overall vs Pulse (despite Pulse’s custom ship and music options), but Pure is kind of slow. HD is the ultimate version of both games-- the huge speed boost and tighter roll ability makes it a new game with the same content.

Yeah i finally got both my Daytona 2 cabs in my man cave…So its ready for 2player action!

so wipeout HD is a must have?

ps. can somebody please go over to Polyphony and strangle their chief developer for GT5. that game needs to come out NOW.

It’s really good. Never played any Wipeout game before, and I love this shit.

I had the opposite reaction. I haven’t touched the Blur demo since I downloaded Split/Second. But, I’ll say this, Split/Second’s netcode better be fucking flawless. Because if the online play on there is garbage, it’s going to piss me (and a lot of people off.)

Whoops, didn’t mean to hit “Post.”

Anyway though, I see what you’re saying. I think that Split/Second’s single player will have a shorter shelf life than Blur’s single player. But Split/Second feels a little less Mario Kart-ish to me. I like the arcade racer feel it has. Both games are good though. I’ll probably rent them both first, and then make a decision on which one to purchase.

Just put up a review of Split/Second: http://rolling-start.com/reviewsimpressions/91-review-splitsecond-360-ps3-pc.html

I have Mod Nation Racers now as well, if anyone wants to play that.

If one couldn’t tell from the beta, Blur is the shit. The tracks have all been pretty darn fun so far.

Edit: So I’m at Rank 16 in single and like 11 in multiplayer. Single player AI is pretty good. I don’t notice a rubberband effect. When you lead, you lead. However, in boss races be prepared to get your ass ate up. However, wrecking a boss wins the race automatically. It’s cheap but an effective way of winning (I’ve only won because I wreck people. I wreck them you hear!).

Split/Second is gonna go for $40 next week at Best Buy. Also will come with three Best Buy smothered cars.

cool :tup: need some pics in the article

Yea I agree, I just need to come up w/ a good pic layout.

Yea Blur is seriously so so good, the tracks are really solid and got a lot of cool paths and lines.
