I checked out this one, Stampede Racing Royale. Free to play kart racer where you keep racing and getting eliminated each lap until there's only one racer left. Seems alright but does the typical freemium cancer of trying to upsell you on skins and shit. Outside of that I don't think it's that bad although I don't know if it's popular or not.

classic arcade racers is a dead genre

>>1105859 I downloaded NFS Underground 2 and Most Wanted since they are abandonware. Been having a ton of fun with them. Are the modern NFS worth it?

God rest 8-player Daytona's soul Sega's arcade division knew they wouldn't be able to sell many units on this and that it would be expensive and require hella floor space but in typical Sega fashion they did it anyway for no reason other than that it would be fucking awesome. A special place in heaven for those rare arcade owners who have this and maintain the upkeep and floor space on them.

I've been playing WipEout Pulse, but I think I need to gold medal my last WipEout Fury event

dunno if this counts but i was playing destruction allstars and surprise surprise it fucking sucks, they really shoulda just reworked this into a twisted metal game but this is post-last of us sony were talking about so thats a pipedream haha. but other than that ive been playing midnight club 3 and burnout revenge, real solid games right there.

>>1105923 Yeah it's a dead genre until you realize the mediocre shit that is Mario kart is one of the highest selling games ever. The funny part is that the game requires 0 skill to win as you get rewarded with more powerful power ups the further you are trailing behind which is just as bad as rubber banding if not worse

Man, what I wouldn't give for a new burnout, ridge racer and midnight club Growing up with arcade racers being your favourite genre only to have them die is incredibly sad At least there's that new tokyo xtreme racer, I might check that out

The crew motorfest is my go to racer right now. Looks nice, handles well, cockpit view is great, it has motorcycles that handle great, cool different classes. Yeah its no midnight club but its still really good.

>>1105930 No, but all the games up to Undercover are at least decent. You should try the 90s entries if you want a change of pace from the F&F wiggercore era.
