Honestly for Sony it would be the best to bring destruction derby back, make it crazy and make it fun but it doesn't have to be an AAA game, honestly I would be totally fine if it is like 20$ game so they can also make it work with PSVR.

There is no excuse for these last gen looking arcade racers. Fighting games and racing games are simple and have traditionally always had the most stunning looking graphics that really show off the hardware. If they are all just going to look like PS3 games I'll just play the dozen fighting and racing games I already have on PS3. Missed opportunity for the PS4.

Yes, it's car combat. It's basically like, eight cars which all have different drivers, cars and weapons. Every car drives differently and has different "specials" which can be used when your meter is full. Each level is unique and has different "power ups" that drivers can pick up and then use against the other cars. There's a health bar and when it runs out, you explode and die. Last car standing wins etc. It was really unique because it was gothic/horror themed. In the PS2 version, you would pick the combatant of your choice and you'd get to see their "story" through cut scenes. 

I'm a sim racer. I play GT: Sport, Asetto Corsa and Forza Motorsport 7 at the moment and have played lots of GT and Forza Motorsport games. Forza Horizon is not a sim. No amount of tuning can make its physics feel near realistic. Its an arcade racer through and through and a good one at that but don't go overboard just because its a good game.

Yeah, nope its not a pure arcade racer the last first party one by MS was PGR4.  Also the first two Horizon games on the 360 are closer to being arcade games then the ones on the X1 since the cars are only upgradeable but not tuneable. 

I don't think the regular arcade race gamer, that likes a more forgiving/fun focused experience, would have a good time with that one. It seems that only like 0.2% of all the millions of players (atleast there are millions of records posted in the ranking) even got to the last 40 (of 200) tracks in the solo campaign.

Tuning has NOTHING to do with physics. Arcade and simulation depends upon the physics. Horizon doesn't have the physics. I've played 1 and 3, so I know what I'm saying.

The physics might be arcady but the overall game isn't a pure arcade racer.  It has tons of sim elements besides the tuning and upgrading like the races being held by classes and car types.  

Well the game is decent but it gets boring fast, there are a lot of other racing games that are a lot better and more fun that it.

The Crew 2 comes out in a few weeks.
