Whatever happened to the Racing genre?

[Peh]

Well, maybe some racing games are just the same as previously released. But it also depends on what you want to see in a racing game.

The 0815 racing game where you most of the time drive on known racing tracks has been done to death with it's latest entry by Project Cars. Some people praise the game, but I find it rather boring. I just don't like official racing tracks.

I enjoy the Dirt Series pretty much. And with Dirt Rally, Codemasters released a really good and challenging game.

I was also a fan of the Test Drive Unlimited games. I loved the freedom and stuff you could do in the game. Sadly, the bugs and server issues were a big problem and some times later, Eden Games was closed by Atari.

The Crew has a nice concept of being able to drive through the whole of the US, but certain gameplay mechanics like getting new parts for your vehicles were more than stupid.

The latest Need for Speed games looks really good, but it's just a plain arcade gameplay is no fun. And that story is way too cheesy and bad.

Forza Horizon 3 is being released this week and it is my first Forza game. I like what I saw, so I hope I won't be disappointed.
