Title: Any new racing games coming out for Xbox 1?
Post by: Deadpool on December 05, 2014, 01:04:46 pm
It has been some time since I played any sort of racing games.  The last racing game I was into was Grand Turismo 4 for playstation 2, yea a longggg time ago.  But I am wanting to get a new racing game, and cant decide on which to get.  Any suggestions?

The Forza series stands out as the only Xbox exclusive game in recent memory.  Otherwise look at Project Cars or Assetto Corsa

There are other racers but Forza 5 and Forza Horizon 2 stand a cut above the rest for sure.  Forza Horizon is more of an arcade take on the Forza series but it's a helluva lot of fun.  Wish the series would exist on the PC with wheel/FFB support and 3 monitor support as I think I'd be in heaven...

I have heard others say that Forza is a quite a lot of fun, I will have to check out some of the game play on youtube.  Do they have a large selection of cars and are you able to add to the cars? Like tune them?!

I thought the original Forza Horizon was just like Burnout Paradise.

It is.  It is available for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.  The "plot" is different, but they are both open, non linear, task based racing.  Which is ok.  I didn't play Forza Horizons long enough t notice anything special. 

Forza, by itself is more like Gran Truismo.

Hmmm, I love the realism of the Gran Turismo games but I also love being able to customize cars in the Need for speeds games for example!  Perhaps I'll buy both of them?!  :cheers:

While console only, every Forza game except for 5 has had 3-screen support... 5 even had it in prototype builds but sadly they decided to drop the feature because no one was using it.  :banghead:
