Hmm, I wonder which platforms he likes. There's plenty more on Xbox and Cast.
For the games that don't have English releases, how playable are they with a limited understanding of moonrunes?

A lot of the japanese only games have storylines believe it or not. Mostly just jpg screens and jpg opponents talking shit before a race which makes up a "campaign". You can get through this but you're missing a bit of the street racer flavor. Navigating menus are easy since it's almost always in English. A bit of trouble will occur in the tuning menus if you're not as familliar with the parts and what they do. Most of them are just "numbers go up equals good" types where it's mostly just HP upgrades like turbos.
Gotham 2
I still have fond memories of this game. I've probably told the story here before at some point, but I spent a summer with my grandmother when I was 13 because her dementia was starting to get pretty bad. Ended up buying an xbox at some point in July and was sitting in the den playing PGR2 when she came in and sat down with me. After watching for a bit she commented that it looked like fun, so I set her up on the test track in an M3 and showed her the controls, and within about ten/fifteen minutes she was putting up surprisingly good clean lap times for someone who had never used an electronic device more advanced than an electric typewriter.
Based Anon spending time with his grandma. Also a good reminder to spend time with your parents before they're gone
Good on you, anon.

That other poster obviously prefers the mountain pass stuff, and you added in the wangan and street racer stuff
Literally 90% of PS2 ones you listed are shit
worthy ones:
Touge Max series
Side by Side / Battle Gear series
Shutokou Battle series
Racing Lagoon
Initial D games
Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune games
the rest are low budget kusoge. Option series is inbetween.
Wait a sec, did you just copy paste my comment from a month ago?
Anyway, this was PS1 JDM recommendations.

Lotus Turbo Esprit on the Amiga is the greatest racing game ever made.
Thank you Nigel. Can you tell us which racing game is the best on the ZX Spectrum?
Racing games somehow attract the lowest standards and worst shittaste on /vr/. Probably because of what a nostalgia sodden genre it is with the gameplay being very simple and audiovisuals blotting it out
99% of games either suck or have vatly superior non-retro sequels
Arcade
>Test Drive Unlimited
Realism
>GTR 2
Both games still quite possibly the best in their respective genres.
A few suggestions If you want to go more retro
>The Need For Speed
>Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit
>Network Q RAC Rally
>Grand Prix 2
>Carmageddon II: Carpocalypse Now
High Stakes has Hot Pursuit beat
TDU is fun, but has shit handling, PGR 4 is best arcade style game. Never heard of GTR 2, why is it better than something like R Factor?
>why is it better than something like R Factor?
It runs on a modified version of the same engine, it's a refinement of it. Or a mod if you're feeling really cynical.
It encompasses a really cool era of GT racing and it has really, really great feeling handling and FFB. The version on steam lacks the Ferraris and Porsches, get it elsewhere.
why do Porsches matter
Gran turismo 1-4
Ridge Racer 1-4
Wipeout games (PS1)
Midnight Club dub edition remix
Test Drive Unlimited
Toca Race Driver 1-3
Collin Mcrae's Rally 1, 2.0, 2005, dirt
Tokyo Extreme Drift 2-3
Initial D street stage
Outrun 2006
Need for speed Carbon, Underground 1-2
F zero games
Motorstorm Arctic Edge
Freekstyle
Star Wars Episode I: Racer too*
You didn't like Most Wanted?
Oh, no I like most race games I'm just trying to try throw out some that haven't been named but a glance I could have done a much better job.
Super Hang-On
Rad Racer
For 3d racers, N64 has many good ones. Wave Race 64 especially.
reminder the 3ds port of outrun is superior, that is all.
