It's not been great lately for racing game fans.

I had to import WRC 3 from Europe cause it was taking forever to release over here.
Most racing games nowadays try to force a dumb story, or have annoying forced festival crap. I just want to race again, Burnout, Motorstorm 1,2 (not apocalypse), Colin McRea rally, PGR, WipeOut, Rallisport challenge.
NFS most wanted is just about as much story as I can bear in a racing game. I was excited for a while for Grid 2 to come out until I read the reviews, more americanized story crap.

I'm most looking forward to GT6. All about racing, no crap.
Driveclub might be good
NFS is always a crapshoot.
Forza 5 and PGR are on a console that is not sitting well with me atm.
F1 2013, sure need to play 2 of those every gen.

But where is rally racing???

GT6 will have rally racing and there is a really strong change that Forza 5 will have rally racing also.

As long as there is Mario Kart, there will be a racing genre.

And @Ethomaz; you can't use Xbone! It's a term only fans of the Xbone can use (unless you're, which I kind of doubt), kind of like that one word that starts with a 'n'... Just ask Pbroy, he made up the rule.

I don't know the rule lol I was banned and out of all VGC recent stories lol

Interesting that the game that best proves your point-Mario Kart- was not included in your original list.

But yeah, it isn't dying. If anything, there's a resurgence.

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.
