I miss MotorStorm badly. That game and Split Second were so fun
OP

I have a PC, Horizon runs on it but not properly. Lag and stuff.
I've been following this one since the announcement lol. I hope they release a proper gameplay soon.
A Switch version means it goes on my "keep an eyeball on this" list.
EXCITE TRUCK, dammit! ;-)
All the more reason to be pissed off at today's game developers. No appreciation for the classics.

That's for sure, OP. I would do things for a proper Ridge Racer 8 announcement. I want that series to make a grand return so badly it's not even funny. :(
Give me either a f-zero type game which isnt as slow as wipeout or a new burnout game with way more ramps and crazy street design.

If you want speed, check out some Redout and FAST RMX gameplay. They're still not as fast as F-Zero on high leagues but it's still pretty fast.
Yeah its that I purchased Wipeout on the PS4 not having played any Wipeout and was incredibly disappointed with the gameplay and speed, looked good tho. Gonna need to try out Redout.
I mean.....where's Distance? Finally left early access on Steam, but no console release? Been waiting since 2014 for this game....
Dangerous Driving( Burnout 3 successor) is my go to at this point.
Xenon Racer looks like a good sub for Ridge Racer fans.

Ha, yes I need to check out TrailBlazers. The graphics look phenominal man.

Footage from the closed beta was shown off a few weeks ago:

I'm remain unconvinced by the track design, seems dull without variety/track design choices that make stand out each part of the track.
So good but it would be nice to play a newly released arcade racing game that's actually very good.
It looks pretty good TBH, I think it's a good reason to bump the thread. :)
Quite fun too. Dont know how the player count is nowadays.
Driveclub and Wipeout are 2 of the few racing games I've enjoyed this gen. Now this one isn't my favorite, but burnout paradise offers a very good arcade racing game with plenty of content. It's a decent port but shows it's a age in a lot of spots, still it looks great at 4k 60. But I do agree the lack of good arcade racers this gen has been a disappointment.
It's already been mentioned, but I think BallisticNG deserves another plug. Probably the best of the current crop of Wipeout inspired racers and developer support has been fantastic. It's also $8 and runs on a potato.
They released a rather hefty free expansion not too long ago and have already announced they're working on more new content.
Mod support is excellent as well, there's even a built-in track layout editor to help you get started. Lots of cool ships and racetracks available on the Steam Workshop.

Speaking of expansions, Grip Ultimate Edition was just released this past week. One of the few oldschool arcade racers, it had a rough launch, but was constantly updated and improved with tons of extra content added throughout the yer and is currently one of the best arcade experiences available. It tough, but insane amounts of fun.
My best of list for this gen would look something like this:
Burnout Paradise Remastered
Grip
Wipeout Omega
Distance
with special mentions for Redout and Carmageddon Max Damage.

Good list. Man Carmageddon is such a relic but I liked it a lot for that. Just unapologetically THAT game in a modern context. With all the flaws and stuff of the original. I need to reinstall it on Steam and give it another go. It's 90s as hell.
Also Grip has been on my wishlist for a while. Warms my heart that someone made a spiritual successor to Rollcage.
They do not sell well. So, no, "this gen" does not need them. A small percentage of users does.
On a side note, now that THQ Nordic owns Milestone it would be interesting if they fund a new Screamer.

What i'd do for a blur remaster/remake, easily one of the best arcade racers i've ever played.
You take mario kart and put it in a city with actual cars that is blur.

Since the making of this thread Wreckfest came out on consoles, pretty good game in the vein of Destruction Derby / FlatOut. THQ Nordic owned studio though
This is a good choice
What I wouldn't give for a true sequel to Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, or at the very least a remaster of all three Motorstorm games.
