Anybody try Horizon Chase Turbo for PS4?

Nah is it good?

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.  

There are plenty of arcady games that do that stuff.

Sim and arcade are distinctions based on the physics. What you are talking of is related to game design and has nothing to do with the genre.



UK is one of the best territories for racing games..

but for the week of the launch of Onrush it charted 34th place......

`However, two new racing games, Codemasters' Onrush and Milestone Interactive's MotoGP '18, finished at the very bottom of the chart, in 34th and 40th place respectively.`

It`s a huge shame there just isn`t an audience for there types of games anymore....



Bet with Intrinsic:

The Switch will outsell 3DS (based on VGchartz numbers), according to me, while Intrinsic thinks the opposite will hold true. One month avatar control for the loser's avatar.

it looks like OnRush went right over people's heads.

Nope, I can't think of any arcade racer where races are divided into car classes and car types.

Then I will pass, that's all I want from an arcade racer.

NFS Hot Pursuit has car classes.

Simulation and arcade are distinctions based entirely on physics, car classes are just gameplay mechanics. They can't make arcady physics realistic.

Again just because Horizon has arcady physics doesn't make it a pure arcade racer.  Also all the Need For Speed games are much closer to being pure arcade racers then any of the Horizon games.
