Hey Everyone,

I am in a driving mood for some reason. I have a Driving force Pro attached to my PC, and I'm looking for some fun games. Good force feedback a plus!

I would like something that isn't too arcady, but not 'tweak your car every race/lap' difficult. I have tried some random stuff, and I actually like Need for speed: Porsche Unleashed the most. I haven't tried too many games, though.

I have GTR2 and GTL, but I find them........ intimidating. I'd like something in the middle, maybe?

But anyway, It'd be nice to have a thread of what driving games you like the most! You can throw Console games in here, what the heck.

I really wish my DFP worked with the xbox 360.

Trackmania Nations - it's amusing and hey, it's free. Can't go wrong with that.

Your driving force pro can work with ps2 and ps3 =)
but no xbox.

So far ive tried was grid and need for speed undercover.

check out the old need for speeds.

oh bytheway grid support for the wheel kind of sucks... till you set it. i'm still having trouble setting it for the ps3...

 

I like the old OutRun from Sega. It is really fun to play.

 

My favorites were Need for Speed Underground 1 and 2

No they're not realistic but they're fun

 

rFactor > *

Yeah, it's a full-fledged sim so the intimidation factor can be high. There's a boatload of setups out there for download though so you don't have to be an engineer to enjoy just driving. I've hardly done any setup development work at all the entire time I've had the game and I enjoy the living hell out of driving the various mods.

Go here and poke around if you want to see what's available.

Seconded for rFactor. Great game. Though the development didn't take off like I expected it to.

 

nascar 2003

 

First NFS Underground gets my vote.

 

You know rFactor2 is in the works for 2009, right? That's probably why development for the first one has been slowly winding down.

 

You guys should try Live for Speed. It's probably one of the most realistic driving games i've played. I always enjoy playing it before my classes start :p

 

GRID, im loving it!

 

Need for Speed: High Stakes - I played this non stop when I was young

GRID - Played for about 2-3 months, very realistic driving game, even something so simple as messing up a turn get get you from 1st to last place. Cars handle realistically and most important, the crashes are REALLY realistic, they let you replay, rewind and save your fav. crashes.

^^ Ahhhh...fond memories.

And just to show what 10 or 11 years worth of hardware and software development get you...

Awsome. At first, I thought the rfactor was on the left side.

 

A few captures from the recently released CTDP F1 2006 mod. The attention to detail in this thing is unbelievable.

 

Nice I didn't know that... What I meant though is how it was supposed to be a huge deal for the third party community and at least when I was still in the sim racing community a lot of the mods were disappointing.

I gotta hook up my wheel again and start playing. I stopped when we bought a nice new desk with a glass top - wheel had to be put away.
