Motorsport 6, the most recent entry, features more than 450 vehicles, 150 different driving surface types, and 26 true-to-life racing locations. The Forza Motorsport series has always had a huge emphasis on realism. The Forza franchise is an Xbox exclusive (although, this increasingly means Xbox and Windows 10), so that’s what they buy. For fans of racing games, their choice is a fairly easy one. That’s kind of the point, especially since there’s not a huge difference in power between the machines, and if you’re really that worried about powerful hardware, you already bought a PC. If you took a random sampling of your gamer friends, or are a gamer yourself, you’ll find most people usually pick their console based on its exclusive titles. These are the games that all car-loving guys should play. We’re fans of cars, you’re fans of cars, so we’d like to celebrate cars in gaming. Our past video game coverage focused more on cinematic games or their music, and racing rarely came up when we were thinking about 2017 in gaming.īut now we’d like to rectify that. Or, if it’s not for one of those franchise heavy hitters, it’s a sort of slow burning search for a proper Alan Wake sequel or we’re wondering what happened to Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 ( it was cancelled, is what happened). You get a review when a game comes out, but most of the hype we see and hear comes for games like Fallout, Red Dead Redemption, GTA, or Battlefield. Most people are at least mildly interested in cars, but for the genre, a lot of gaming publications and magazines seem to pay only the minimum amount of attention required. Racing games have a weirdly niche market.
